Chapter 32: A Beautiful Ending
The Ruthless King's Claim [Completed]
Author's POV
Five years later, the Rathore mansion was filled with the sound of laughter and the pitter-patter of small feet running across the marble floors. Kiara stood in the garden, watching as her four-year-old son, Aryan, chased a butterfly with an infectious giggle that warmed her heart. In her arms, their one-year-old daughter, Aarya, babbled softly, tugging at her motherâs necklace.
âCareful, Aryan!â Kiara called out, her voice full of affection.
From the patio, Reyaansh watched the scene unfold with a smile that rarely left his face these days. His life, once filled with danger and uncertainty, now revolved around the family he had built with Kiara. She had brought light into his dark world, and their children were the embodiment of the love they shared.
He walked over, wrapping an arm around Kiaraâs waist as she looked up at him with a smile that still made his heart race. âHowâs my queen managing these two troublemakers?â he teased, placing a soft kiss on her temple.
âSheâs managing just fine,â Kiara replied with mock defiance, though the twinkle in her eyes betrayed her happiness. âYou, on the other hand, could help a little more.â
Reyaansh chuckled, taking Aarya from her arms and holding her high in the air. The little girl squealed with delight, her laughter blending with Aryanâs as he joined them, tugging at Reyaanshâs leg.
âYouâre going to spoil them,â Kiara said, though she couldnât hide her smile.
âThey deserve it,â Reyaansh replied, pulling her close with one arm while holding their daughter in the other. âJust like you do.â
As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the family gathered on the lawn for an impromptu picnic. Aryan sat in Kiaraâs lap, munching on a cookie, while Aarya curled up against Reyaanshâs chest, her tiny hands clutching his shirt.
âReyaansh,â Kiara said softly, her voice filled with emotion. âDid you ever imagine life could be this perfect?â
He looked at her, his gaze tender and unwavering. âNo,â he admitted, âbut itâs more than I ever dared to hope for. And itâs all because of you.â
Kiara leaned her head against his shoulder, feeling a deep sense of contentment. The journey they had been throughâfilled with challenges, love, and growthâhad led them here, to this moment of absolute bliss.
As the stars began to twinkle above them, Reyaansh kissed her forehead, his heart full. âForever,â he murmured.
âForever,â she echoed, her voice a promise.
And as their childrenâs laughter filled the air, they knew their story had found its perfect endingâa love that had not only survived the chaos but had thrived, creating a future that was nothing short of beautiful.
