CHAPTER FORTY FOUR (FINALE)
I played with Wallace’s hair sleeping peacefully. I am already married to him but still, I can’t believe it. It is like yesterday I just looked at him in the distance, secretly loved and hidden in my heart. And now, he is already my husband and I can use his surname.
He is mine. My husband, and already a part of the decision from now on, and together we will raise Ace and her future siblings.
“I love you,” I whisper and kiss his cheek. My eyes shed tears. I wipe my tears and hug him tightly to feel his warm body. I will never get tired of hugging my husband. I will never tire of kissing him and saying I love him.
I don’t know what’s with Wallace. All I know is that I love him. I never asked him to love me either because I knew that was impossible but here he is. He loved me and made me feel how lucky I am because he loved me. My luck or maybe he was really meant for me.
“I love you so much, Wallace.” Am I obsessed with my husband? Maybe. But one thing is for sure. I love him so much. My tears kept falling not because of sadness but because of joy. I am so happy that my dream of being with him and being me has come true.
“Diana?” I heard Wallace’s worried voice. He lifted my face and I met his frown. He wiped my tears using the back of his palm. “Why are you crying?” He asked worriedly and immediately got up. “Does anything hurt?”
“Nothing, I’m just happy.” Gradually a smile replaced her concern. He straightened up and leaned on the headboard. He pulled me closer to him so I put my head on his shoulder.
“Me too,” he said and kissed my forehead. “I am so happy that you loved me and accepted me into your heart. Who am I to be loved by a Dy.”
“Wallace, I thought —-”
“Shh, don’t worry, Diana, it won’t happen that I will be insecure because you’re a Dy and even more it won’t cause our misunderstanding. I will be proud, instead, that a Dy loves me unconditionally and trust me wholly.”
“Wallace. I may be a Dy, a member of an elite family. Everyone looks at me, following me, getting everything I want – maybe, after all. But when it comes to you, I am me, a Diana Dane who will kneel, bow, and follow you. I am an ordinary wife and mother. I am your wife who is your partner and part of your life. The mother of your child.”
“I know, and I don’t care what their opinion is. What matters to me is your love. Only you, Diana, only you are important to me and our child.”
“Thank you, Wallace, thank you for loving me back.”
“Nope, I loved you before you loved me, so I should be the one to thank you because you loved me too.”
“What did you say you love first? So, the first time Dylan introduced you to me, you already like me.”
“Nope, before Dylan introduced me to you, I secretly look at you from afar.”
“What?” But he laughs harder. “Wallace, I’m going to attack you. You will be a battered husband now.”
“I saw you when I was in my first year. We have a room next to each other and yours is before us. So when I go out I notice you. I tried to talk to you but you are intimidating and it’s still scary so I’m just looking at you.”
“You mean, you like me before I met you?”
“Yes, wife. When I stopped studying and back. You are in the second year, Dave became my classmate and when I found out he was your brother I wanted him to be my friend. But, Dave is quiet and uninterested in making friends with anyone other than Cooper. So, I lost hope, until I lost my interest to study again and the next school year, Dylan became my classmate. I approached him and his good and we became friends and the rest is history if you know what I mean. So I took my studies seriously so that I would not be separated from Dylan and be free to see you,” he explained.
I don’t know if I’ll be thrilled or excited or what. I am so damn happy and proud of his confession. My hair was long and covered the entire galaxy. But —-
“Wait, don’t tell me that you could only be friends with Dylan because of me?” he laughed again and kiss me on my lips.
“At first, yes.” And his laughter got louder. “But Dylan is nice, your brother is good at making friends and he gets the tickle of anyone. So I felt good about him and the friendship I showed became real until I became faithful to the friendship between the three of us. But don’t tell him and I might be able to sleep in the hospital.”
“Wallace,”
“So, if you think that I like you the day that Dylan introduced me to you then you’re wrong, wife. I love you already before you met me.” Tears welled up in my eyes as he spoke. I can’t explain my joy. I don’t know, all I know is I am really happy. “Hey, why are you crying?”
“I’m happy,” I sniffed. “I’m very happy with what you said.”
“If you are happy I am happier. I am so happy because you are mine. I am happy because I am married to you. How long have I been looking forward to it, Diana? To be my husband of the woman I first and last loved.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Wallace,”
“Now that I am yours and you are mine, officially. I will do everything for you and Ace. I will take care of you and I will do nothing that will not make you happy. Mostly, on you, Diana.”
“I love you, Wallace.” I buried my face in his chest. I feel his hands caressing my back. He even sniffed my head.
“I love you more than you’ll ever know, Diana.”
What should I ask for? I already have everything including the man I love. This is life and what real happiness means. To be with the person you really love.
“I will do all my best to prove that you did not make the mistake of loving and marrying me, Wallace. I will do my very best to be a good wife.”
“You don’t need to prove anything. From the beginning, you are worth enough to be my lover, my partner, to be my wife, and my all.”
“Thank you, Wallace. Thank you for making me happy always.”
“Seeing you happy makes me happy too, Diana. When you’re happy, I’m happy too, and for me to be happy I’ll make you happy first, there, it’s as if I’ve made myself happy. Everything I do is for you, Diana. From now on, everything will revolve around you so that we can be well.”
“Thank you, Wallace, thank you for the love.” He kissed me and pulled me closer to him. This is my life now, and this is what I can call real success. In the company of the man, with our child.
“Diana?”
“Hmph?”
“I’m hard.” I look at him and smile. “When you’re by my side, the general is always brave.”
“Is that so? I will take care of that of your general and I will make him surrender.” And I kiss him and please him. I was the one who moved for him so that his general would quickly surrender.
