If only he loved me too

Chapter 40: Epilogue

The storytime was over when Robert looked at us seriously and we were running out of time as Robert

and his goons pulled out their guns aiming at our heads. I keep twirling my ring restlessly. Just when he

was about to press on the trigger, the gun was shot out of his hand.

Everyone in the room stayed on high alert when one by one everyone was shot down, I looked at

Massimo he nodded at me and jumped on the guy near him and pulled out his gun, shot him dead,

there were only four of us left, there seems to be a sniper that shot four guys down. Massimo shot

Arthur's leg and he fell screaming in pain, Massimo aimed his gun at Robert hesitant to pull the trigger.

"It's over Robert, this stops today" Robert scoffed angrily and reached for his gun but Massimo shot his

leg as well the older guy fell groaning in pain, he ran towards me and undid my ropes. I hugged him

crying when I was free, he held me tighter

I pulled away from him and he wiped tears, he noticed the swollen cheek and torn lip, his eyes

darkened "who?" He asked scarily, I shook my head

"It doesn't matter, it's over now, " I say pulling away from him, a groan of pain caught my attention and I

walked towards Artur he looked at me, I smiled at him sarcastically before kicking him in the face

breaking his nose, I turned to face Massimo and he looked at me amused

The door burst open, cops flooded in screaming in, we smiled at each other and he hugged me closer

when they got us out of there. They arrested Robert and Artur for kidnapping and attempt to murder

charges.

Oliver hugged me weeping and apologizing nonstop for what his father did, I reassured him that he

shouldn't apologize for something that he didn't do.

I had a dislocated wrist, swollen face, and bruised ego whereas Massimo had gunshot wounds and

broken ribs. I stayed in his hospital room, he was unconscious and hasn't woken up from the surgery.

I held his hand in mine and waited for him to wake up. I laid my head on his bed crying silently if things

didn't work out I would have lost him again and this time it would have stayed like that.

"Stop crying, Erika, I'm right here, " my head snapped towards him and I lunged at him, he winced

when my hand made contact with his ribs. I apologize for that and kissed his lips deeply proving that he

is really alright.

"I won't be able to do anything if you keep kissing me like that, " he laughed and then flinched in pain.

I hit his shoulder and hugged him carefully trying not to hurt him. He kissed my forehead lovingly "I'm

here Erika, I promise I will always be here, " I cried on his shoulder holding him closer

We stayed like that for a while, "Erika, do me a favor and get my jacket, " I nodded walking towards the

couch retrieving his jacket I held it out for him to take "open the right pocket and take out my watch, "

he said, I frowned searching his jacket pocket but there was no phone "empty it, " I scowl at him for

troubling so much, I carefully pulled out the pocket and something fell out Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I bend over to pick up the small thing but froze when I saw what it was. I picked it up and showed it to

him, he smiled at me sheepishly "I would go down on my knees, but I can't right now and I don't want to

wait any longer, " I squeaked excitedly and jumped on him hugging him tightly "gentle, gently" he

laughed painfully.

I kissed every corner of his face " I don't know what to say, " I say emotionally,

"Don't, because I have something to ask you, " he said pushing the hair out of my face, "Erika Black,

will you please make me the happiest man on earth and marry me, again?" I laughed at his proposal

and nodded kissing his lips, he put the diamond ring on my ring finger and kissed my lips tenderly

A few months later

"My commitment to you is one if give willingly, absolutely, and without hesitation. I am yours utterly and

have been since the moment we met. We were married before this day and will always be." Massimo

vowed with a loving look in his eyes

The priest looked at me and I smiled gazing at the love if my life

"When I hold your face in my hands or lean into your shoulder to feel you hold me, I know this is the

place I am meant to be for all time. This is the person with whom I am meant to share my life." I vow to

smile brightly

"Do you Massimo Torricelli, take Erika Black as your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and health, to

love and cherish her till the end of the day, promise to support her in every step of life?" The priest

asked him, Massimo's eyes didn't longer away he smiled at me "I do, "

"Do you Erika black take This man Massimo Torricelli as your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and

health, to love and cherish him till the end of the day, promise to support him in every step of life?" The

Priest asked me smiling encouragingly

I smiled at Massimo "I do, "

"You may now kiss the bride, " Massimo pulled me closer by the waist, kissing my lips gently. We

kissed passionately until the Priest cleared his throat to get our attention

I look at the crowd and find all of my friends and family, my mother crying happy tears, Oliver jumping

in his place excitedly, my sister and her husband smiling holding their five-year-old son. Nicole was

grinning like every single person looked at wedding looked at us and I looked at my husband and

smiled, I'm happy for us too because all of my wishes come true.

My wish? "If only he loved me too, " and now he does

He loved me too.
