Epilogue
Three years later
Avery should have never doubted him. That night when Dominic came back from his business trip, and thought the worst, he showed her the truth. Staring down at her wedding band and engagement ring, she couldn’t help but smile. Life had been a little crazy in the last three years.
She did go for the interview, and she had been recognized for helping the woman who ran the insurance side of the company of products that Dominic created. One phone call helping one person opened another door to her. She took the job, and the rest was history. Dominic told her she didn’t have to take it, but she wanted to, and so she did.
“How are my two girls doing?” Dominic asked, swinging their two-year-old son up into his arms.
Rubbing her swollen belly, she stared up at her husband, feeling all the love she had for him blooming inside her.
They had a son, Dominic Junior, and a baby girl on the way.
He sat down, placing a hand over hers where it rested on her stomach. It was their third anniversary, and as a treat they were staying at one of his islands. Lots of ocean, sand, and beauty.
She loved it here.
The silence, the peace, and they had even gotten Ella to come with Malcolm so they had some company if they wanted to. Their friends had taken the boat out.
“I love you, Mrs. Wright,” he said. Leaning over to take her lips.
Even after three years, his lips still made her tingle. The promise of pleasure and pain making her ache for the night time. They had been blessed that Dominic Junior liked to sleep all night through, and they got a chance to play.
“Tonight,” he said. “I’ll give you another little gift.”
“You’ve already given me enough.”
“I like spoiling you. Believe me, you’ll love this gift.”
And she did.
A beautiful collar, marking her as his, with a beautiful diamond, adding to the other two. Dominic was adding diamonds every year, marking their anniversary.
Avery hoped for the collar to be covered in them.
