Epilogue

Olive's POV

All of us stood in Rhea and Sameer's new house, waiting for the bride. Waiting to witness the best wedding of the year.

In this room was only family and friends. All of us and Sameer's and Rhea's family.

Today was a big day for Rhea and Sameer. They are finally getting married after being together for years.

I was excited about this wedding more than no one is. All of us wanted her to have a Christian wedding but her parents wanted an Indian wedding.

Rhea being herself said that she will get married twice. Once with us and other in New York with her family.

So, practically she is already married to Sameer but she is getting married again for us.

I was one of her bridesmaids along with Amanda, Krystle, and Candice. We stood near the staircase waiting for Rhea to walk down.

Suddenly we heard footsteps and all of our heads turned to the stairs. Slowly, Rhea walked down the stairs and Sameer's eyes followed her. His face was lovestruck as his beautiful bride walked downstairs.

He walked halfway to the stairs and took her hand as he led her to the middle of the living room.

They both held hands before them and the priest stood on the side.

"We gather here to unite these two people in marriage. Their decision to marry has not been entered into lightly and today they publicly

declare their private devotion to each other. The essence of this commitment is the acceptance of each other in entirety, as lover,

companion, and friend. A good and balanced relationship is one in which neither person is overpowered nor absorbed by the other, one

in which neither person is possessive of the other, one in which both give their love freely and without jealousy. Marriage, ideally, is a sharing of responsibilities, hopes, and dreams.

It takes a special effort to grow together, survive hard times, and be loving and unselfish," the priest started as Rhea and Sameer smiled at each other.

"Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?"

Rhea and Sameer looked at each other with a huge smile on their faces. "We do."

"Do you pledge to share your love and the joys of your marriage with all those around you, so that they may learn from your love and be encouraged to grow in their own lives?"

"We do."

I smiled to myself and looked at Chase who was standing behind Jeremy. He looked at me and smiled making me feel fuzzy from the inside.

I remember how we got married. We married the very next week after everything happened. It was a hard time but it has passed.

It has been four years since we are married. Four years since I gave birth to a tiny little human. I looked in the crowd and there she was.

She wore her favorite white dress and her hair up in tiny little pigtails. She always loved to sit with Cherry. He was sitting down next to Krystle and their baby.

After our marriage many others also fell into place. After Rhea and Sameer, Amanda and Jeremy are getting married next year.

This is the best life anybody could ask for.

All of my friends have been happy since Richard left our lives. He is in jail for couple more years before he is let go.

Thinking about him makes me wonder about where my baby girl is. She would be almost ten now. A tear rolled down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away and smiled while looking at Rhea and Sameer.

He asked for the rings so Jeremy and I pulled them out and handed it to Rhea and Sameer. "May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your union. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to each other."

"Sameer, please repeat after me ... I Sameer, promise to love and support you Rhea and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed."

Sameer smiled and continued. "I Sameer, promise to love and support you Rhea and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed."

He took Rhea's hand and placed the ring on Rhea's finger.

"Rhea, please repeat after me ... I Rhea, promise to love and support you Sameer and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed."

"I Rhea, promise to love and support you Sameer and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed," Rhea said and placed the ring on Sameer's finger.

"Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have the gifts of your lives united. And may your days be long on this earth. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Sameer swing Rhea by her waist and dipped in to kiss her and all of us clapped throughout. They pulled apart, their foreheads still touching.

"Thank you everyone for attending our wedding," Rhea replied as Sameer placed his arm around her waist.

All of us talked and laughed today. Everything I ever wanted was right in front of me. I looked up and saw Aurora in Chase's lap as she kept messing Chase's hair and laughing.

I looked to the side and saw cherry and Krystle playing with their baby boy. Rhea and Sameer were talking to their parents about something and they broke out in laughter.

Amanda and Jeremy both sat down, Jeremy said something and Amanda laughed.

There is only happiness in my life now. There's no place for hate anymore.

Suddenly Chase walked towards me and pecked my lips as Aurora cheered. "Aww my baby, come to Mommy," I said as chase gave Aurora in my hands.

"Are you hungry?" I asked and she nodded.

"I will get you some food," I replied and she smiled at me.

Chase held onto me and didn't let me leave. "I need to tell you something. Jeremy said he would take Aurora," Chase spoke and Jeremy came to us.

"Who is coming with Jer-bear?" Jeremy asked and Aurora almost jumped out of my hand, wanting to go with Jeremy.

"Uncle Jer-Bear," she laughed and I slowly gave her to Jeremy.

"Remember, no junk food and especially no chocolates," I warned as Jeremy and Aurora frowned. "Fine, have one."

"Bye mommy, bye daddy," Aurora said in her baby tone as both of us kissed her and Jeremy left with her.

I shifted my attention to chase who looked at me with a small smile. "Remember I told you I had a surprise that day?" He asked and I tried to remember.

When I was in hospital, barely making it, he did tell me he had a surprise. I smiled and nodded as he rook my hand in his and held it tightly.

"Well, I know you have been dying to know where and how your daughter is. That day I made a promise to myself that I will find her and when I do, I'll surprise you," he spoke and I just stared at him.

There was a part in me which was jumping of joy but then other part, worrying about her. I stayed silent, listening to Chase.

"I got a phonecall this morning which was of my private investigator. He has been trying to get the details but it was hard because this was a closed adoption. He said that she is well and alive, she lives in California. I mean that's the last place where she was adopted," Chase said and I pulled him into a hug.

My eyes were filled with tears but I held them back. "Thank you so much Chase," I whispered in his ear and smiled.

"Anything for you," he whispered back, sending me electric chills down my spine.

"I uh- does he have a picture of her?" I asked and chase looked down to the ground.

"No. I'm sorry Olive, I asked him but he couldn't go near her because the people who adopted her are rich and they always have bodyguards surrounding her," Chase spoke.

I quickly pulled him into a deep kiss and held onto his face as his hands made their way to my waist.

"Thank you," I whispered near his lips and kissed him again.

I knew where my other daughter was now. Even though she's like ten year old now, she will be beautiful.

I wouldn't waste another day here if it weren't for my family. I have already took too many days off from work and I can't get another leave until months.

Hopefully, whenever I go to California, I find her. I have waited for her for almost ten years now. I want to find her and tell her how much I miss her and live her.

Chase pulled me into a hug and I literally dissolved into him. Jeremy handed us Aurora and we placed her between us and hugged as she jumped.

"I love both of my girls," Chase said and we chuckled.

"We love you too Chase," I replied and he smiled.

"I love you too mommy and daddy," Aurora slowly spoke and we chuckled at her hearty comment.

Alrighty guy, here's an epilogue as promised. I know it wasn't a lot but I wanted you guys to know about where and how the baby is. I meant both of Olive's daughters.

Anyways, they are all happy and where they should be. By the way, Aurora is such a cutie and finally Rhea and Sameer got married.

I have been wanting to write about their wedding so I fast forwarded four years.

Hopefully, this journey has been as exciting for you as it has been for me. I'm literally gonna miss writing about chase and Olive so much. Ugh!

Why did I decide to end the book? I'll miss it so much. But all good things come to an end.

I was thinking of making a book on Olive's daughter but I don't know if I should. If you want me to, tell me so I will. I do have a great plot in mind.

Anyways, tell me if you think I should do it or not. Also, a shameless self promotion, please go check out my new book called, 'Serene Sense.'

It's a different concept and it deals with high school. Something everyone loves, am I wrong or am I wrong?

Alright, this is kind of like the last chapter-ish-epilogue. I hope you liked it! I might post bonus chapters but not right now. For now, I need to give myself a break from this book.

Anyways, don't forget to support me by pressing that small star at the bottom of your screen.

I love you guys, have a great day!
