Epilogue One
5 YEARS LATER
"Chef Danica, we have a request for a chef's special." Gabriella, one of the waitresses eagerly
conveyed to busy Danica. She was doing what she loved, thanks to Loney. Exactly one year after he
travelled, he sent her a surprise package containing the keys to a restaurant in her name.
Their son was a year old by then and Loney hadn't returned to Mexico therefore, Danica was amazed
as to how he was able to put it all together. She couldn't tell if it was something he was working on
before his business trip but it was the best gift ever. He gave her the dream of owning her restaurant. In
four years, it has risen among the top three restaurants in Mexico City.
"Today isn't Friday, Gabriela." Danica continued with the order she was previously working on. She
occasionally wiped the beads of sweat forming on her forehead. The kitchen was hot and busy yet she
loved it.
"I know, but the man insists. He's so authoritative as if the world belongs to him," Gabriella pestered.
The man insisted that he wanted a chef special from chef Danica only. What could she do? Poor girl.
Danica wavered. Her heart tickled, just as a smile crept onto her features. She turned to chef Caro.
"Take care of this one. I will handle the chef special." Gabriella smiled, stepping out of the large kitchen
to take more orders.
Danica brought out a new set of ingredients and began cutting, grating, and cooking at accentuated
speed. Fifteen minutes passed, and she began platting. Soon she was done and added an amount of
garnish. A proud smile harnessed her physical features just as Gabriella stepped in.
"I should take it to him then," she said, bringing in another order for Danica.
"No, I will do it. Chef Dean can take the next order, she said while taking off her apron. Gabriella
opened her mouth to speak, then clasped it shut. Danica busied herself in the kitchen and never for
once, serving any customer. She didn't have the time or luxury. So what made this customer special?
A smile crossed Loney's features when he saw Danica amble towards him with a tray in her hand. He
had missed the silhouette so much. Speaking on video calls every day wasn't enough. He just wanted
the projects to end. Governor Maxwell's project had sent him out of Mexico for a long time and bigger
projects had also found him, taking five years of their marriage.
"How did you know it's me?" He asked in his usual deep, alluring voice when she placed the tray gently
on the table and sat in front of him, her gaze never leaving his.
"Who else would order a chef special on a Wednesday?" She tried her best to keep from not lunging at
him. She's had sleepless nights without him and all she wanted now was to tear off those work clothes
covering his sexy muscles. He looked exhausted but his attractive features weren't hidden.
"Can you blame me? I miss you so much, I feel like eating you whole." Loney took a bite of his food
and moaned, "this is delicious." Danica knew he wanted something more and the insides of her thighs
began to tickle with sensations.
"We have tonight." She said hopefully. It's been five long years and she craved him. She just prayed
that work wouldn't take him away any longer.
"I'm sorry we don't. I just have an hour." His words stabbed her like a knife and she forced herself to
hold back the tears burning the back of her eyes.
"But the project is supposed to end in another one year right? Our son needs you." Danica couldn't let
him go for another year. Maybe he shouldn't have come. She only used her son as an excuse but she
wanted him so much.
Loney nodded in agreement to Danica's displeasure. "I have capable men but they would take over
completely after the one year elapse." Loney found his member swelling in his pants too at the mere
sight of her. "I can't continue being away. It's been five years. I want to be there for you and our son.
He's growing so fast, I can barely recognize him but I just need one more year."
Danica nodded her head, seeing he wasn't going to consider. "So what's the plan after one year?"
"I'm quitting."
"What?
"I'm starting a consultancy firm to train young engineers. As a consultant, I will get to be with you and
our son every day. I go to work, you go to work, he goes to school and when we return, we spend
family time."
His words consoled Danica. He had everything carefully planned out therefore, it was worth the
sacrifice. "I miss you too."
"I know. Eat with me. I will soon be leaving," he glanced at his Rolex wristwatch. Danica hadn't realized
curious eyes gawking her from her employees. They are seeing their boss chatting with a man for the
first time and he was hot too. So many things were going through their minds.

8 hours later
Danica was restless on her bed. Her lights were still on. Loney had clouded her thoughts. She missed
him so much she couldn't sleep. She's been reading anything. Anything boring just to help her to sleep
or take her mind off Loney. Their son Lord had long gone to bed and so had Mabel, the maids and
bodyguards.
She tried to force herself to sleep when suddenly, the light went out. She couldn't tell if it was the whole
manor Loney built in the city for them. They had moved from the safe house since their marriage was
secret and Danica needed to have her freedom to work.
A presence filled the room with a scent so masculine and yet calming, filled her nose. She heard
strong, yet gentle footsteps ambling closer. Her heart sang a new song. She felt the side of her bed dip
and a hand trailing her body, sending exciting shivers down her spine.
"Loney?"
"I thought you were asleep." His tired voice sounded alluring to her ears.
"I was trying to but couldn't. I miss you soo much," she caught his hand and caressed it with her mouth,
letting out a soft kiss. She held onto him like she was telling him never to leave her side anymore.
Loney was both excited and saddened. He missed her so much too and he knew the decision he took
was the right one.
"I'll never leave your side again. I'll always be here for you and our son."
Astonishment, surprise, confusion, all in one. "What? You have so much more to do."
"I let them go, Danica. I gave some projects to other contractors after giving them some firm grinding. If
not, I'll be too overwhelmed and besides, it's been so hard for me to be away from you."
A tear escaped Danica, wetting the hand she still held to her heart. "I'm selfish and I will continue to be
selfish. Thank you for doing this for us. I love you so much," she kissed his hand softly. He wiped her
tears with his thumb, just as his lips found hers. The kiss conveyed all the hunger in his heart. His
longingness for her and his son. He kissed her so strong and passionate, her lips swelled a little when
he pulled apart, taking in her form.
She was beautiful, so beautiful. Five years has only added more beauty. He couldn't take his eyes off
her. She was too beautiful from what he saw during their video chats every morning. Work gave him no
rest, night or day. He made billions but he lacked inner peace. Higher contracts knocked on his door,
he kept recruiting more and more people. Billions flooded his bank accounts, increasing to trillions. Yet,
he couldn't enjoy the fruit of his labour.
Suddenly, he wanted to stop. This was his passion but he had an addiction. His family. So he began
transferring the contract to capable contractors. He got a new CEO for his company. A world-renowned
engineer, Martha Blay. She was skilled. He began introducing her to his clients. When they were
overwhelmed, some projects must go but now. Martha Blay is capable of handling the affairs of Hubert This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
engineering. Loney would only have to attend quarterly board meetings to be abreast with the stages of
construction and give advice where needed.
He held her by her waist. She had grown thinner. Her stomach was flatter than the first time he met her.
She was a chef yet she won't eat. She didn't have much appetite because she missed him so much.
Now, he was there and he would continue to be there.
He wrapped his strong arms around her, tightening his grip around her. He inhaled the scent of her
shampoo. "I will never leave you again, Danica."
His dick jumped to life instantly, his hands slipped inside her night things, taking them off completely.
He pulled away gently and in a swift second, his clothes were off his skin. Warm skin met each other.
Electric sparks illuminated. He rubbed the entrance of her vagina with his fingers. Her body trembled at
the feel. She missed that touch. Everything he did to her.
He slipped in a finger gently, her walls clasped firmly around it, not wanting to let it go. Her juices
coated his finger. His groan met her moans. "So, tight, too tight. I want to taste you, Danica, I miss you
so much."
He didn't wait for her response and spread her legs, his hands holding her hips firmly in place. His
tongue flicked at the entrance of her wet core. She gripped the sheets tightly. The pleasure emanated
was too much. Her muscles tensed just as Loney's tongue went deeper, licking her juices, she found
herself releasing more. Her husband was back. Her body knew it and responded quickly.
Loney was having a hard time keeping it in too. His manhood was hard and kept swelling, blood
rushing through it, it was painful. He hasn't had her for five years and neither has he had any other
woman. His body and desires were starved for too long, He found himself thrusting inside. He was
gentle but she winced in pain. Five years was long enough to close her walls to her early times. It was
painful but there was no blood. Soon, immense pleasure took over. She was urging him on.
"You are so tight, Danica. Too tight," Loney struggled to say. Her walls clung tightly around his swollen
dick as he thrust in and out of her. his eyes never left hers. "I love you. I love you so much."
Their bodies began trembling together as if on cue. Their release rushed in. They laid in each other's
arms, panting in exhaustion as Loney's mind drifted to the surprise he had for her. He only hoped that it
would make her happy.
