“My divorce papers with Trevor? Why do you have them?” I flip through them, not understanding, and then I get to the final page.
“Oh my god. I didn’t sign the last page. What does this mean?” I’m so confused.
“It means, technically, you are still married to him. And both he and I would really like you to sign them. He would like
to get married soon, and so would I.”
I frown. Sebastian wants to get married. So quickly?
I swallow down my pain. “Do you have a pen?”
He holds one out, and I sign quickly. “I’ll make sure he gets these, and we file again as soon as possible.”
“Good.”
“I’ll have my things moved out of your condo today. But this means that our marriage was never real? The prenup never real?”
His face falls apart. “Legally, no. But us being together was the most real thing I’ve ever experienced. I love you, Millie. I. Love. You. I don’t care how we started. I don’t care about the lies or manipulation. And I don’t want a fresh start. I just want us together, for real.”
“I love you too, Sebastian King. I’ve loved you since you saved me in Hawaii. And it’s been real for me this whole time too. I have some more healing to do personally, and I know we have wounds we’ve caused each other that need time to mend, but I want to be with you. However you’ll have me.”
He leans down and kisses me. It’s full of everything—hope, love, a future. I could get lost in it forever.
“Well, Millie Raine, I want you as my wife. I’ve never known you as anything except my wife, and I’m not about to change that now.” He holds out the ring that the old woman from the bar gave to him. “Millie, will you spend the rest of your life with me and one day marry me for real?”
“This is already real, but yes, I’ll marry you.” And then he slips the ring on my finger. A ring I never plan on taking off.
I never thought I’d get my happily ever after. I know I’m strong enough to live a happy life without it, but I’m glad that Sebastian King gets to be part of my happily ever after.
Epilogue
Sebastian
I comb my hair one more time in the hotel suite mirror before I prepare to walk out onto the beautiful beach in Santa Barbara to get married. We considered getting married in Las Vegas, where this all started, but we chose the beach. We wanted to keep it simple, and this made the most sense.
The wedding will be small. Only Larkyn, Kade, and their kids on my side. Oaklee and her newborn baby on Millie’s.
After I proposed, we agreed to live together a year. Millie didn’t want to get married again until she had finished her therapy and was sure this marriage would last. I agreed that I would wait.
We waited three months. That’s all the waiting either of us could stand. Millie’s past no longer haunts her. And I couldn’t wait to be tied to her forever.
There is a knock on the door. I look over at Kade, who is getting ready in the suite with me. The women and kids are getting ready in Millie’s suite.
I glance at the clock; I have twenty minutes until the wedding still, so I don’t know who would be knocking.
Kade opens the door, and Oaklee is standing in the hallway. “Can I talk to Sebastian alone for a moment?”
Kade looks to me, waiting for my response. For a while, Kade was the only one not sure about Millie and I’s relationship. He wanted us to slow down. He still wanted a prenup to protect us both, but he’s come around. He hasn’t pushed the prenup topic in the last month.
Oaklee and I’s relationship still needs more work. I was in the waiting room while Millie was in the delivery room when Eddie was born. Oaklee hasn’t forgiven me for my part with Boden, and I haven’t forgiven her for her plan to ruin me.
I nod at Kade, though. I know Oaklee won’t ruin my wedding day.
Kade brushes past Oaklee, giving her a warning glance before leaving. Then Oaklee steps inside.
“Is something wrong with Millie?” I ask, suddenly worried that’s why Oaklee is here. Did Millie get cold feet? Is she sick?
Oaklee smiles at my worried expression. “Millie is head over heels in love with you. She can’t wait to marry you. She’s been ready for over an hour and has almost stormed over and demanded the wedding get moved up an hour so she can see you again. There is nothing wrong with Millie.”
