What's Love Without A Second Chance Epilogue
One year Later...~Xander~"Hey," I placed a kiss on her cheek, setting the fruit basket down. Seeing her heavily pregnant made my heart thump with joy because it meant we were going to have another family member pretty soon and I would get to experience all that I had missed out on with my first child. It was a welcomed development and I could not wait to meet our new baby.It had been a blissful year in our marriage, finding out Arya was going to be a big sister made it even more beautiful. Not once did I ever regret going back for Olive. No matter how bad her mood swings got and how utterly demanding her cravings were, I would not change a thing if I had a chance. She was busy munching on the watermelon slice when she inhaled sharply all of a sudden. I sat up abruptly. "Are you alright?" I asked, rushing to her side as she shut her eyes."I think my water just broke." I panicked so much that I just stood still until she yelled at me to get moving. I ran upstairs and with the spe

I woke up with her head on my chest and for the first time in a while, I smiled after waking up in the morning. Staring shamelessly at the beauty that lay on me, I thanked God for gifting her to me - a prized jewel that I would forever cherish. "Good morning baby," I said, planting a kiss on her forehead while she stirred in her sleep. "Good morning babe." She said amid a yawn."We're leaving tonight." I let her know. It was not exactly planned, it was an impulsive thought that came to mind only about an hour before as I watched her sleep peacefully."Finally." She sighed in happiness. I nodded in understanding."I know you've been wanting to go home for the longest time and to be honest me too. I want us to go back to living our normal lives without any drama."She pouted, "Me too. I can't believe we did not have any action after our wedding.""Trust me we'd have a lot of action when we get back home." I said with a wink, bringing her fingers to my lips. She giggled - music to my

The next day, the lawyers had arrived and were going to read nonna's will. Xander who came to bed very late for some reason, hardly slept before he was called to come down quite early into the day because the lawyers came on time.I sat next to him for moral support not that any of these concerned me and it most certainly did not feel like I was welcomed but I had promised to be by my husband's side no matter what.The lawyer soon read out the will, allocating different properties to different members of the family. Even Arya got a landed property in her name, much to my surprise. Xander was unmoved by it because he probably knew his grandmother would do such. Indeed nonna always looked out for each and everyone of her children. The estate was going to be retained much to Xander's consternation and they were all to meet at least once a year. He had planned on selling it off because in his opinion, there was no need for a family full of hate to share the same space. They should just

Guests trooped in left and right. And at some point, I found myself overwhelmed. The day just had to end soon cause I could not go on with this for much longer. The false polite smiles had my cheeks aching. Then there were the ones that asked of my daughter like they had any prior relationship with us."Not easy being a hostess huh?" One of Xander's mean aunts said to me as I entered the kitchen to get myself a bottle of water. I remembered her, she was one of the ones who concurred with Russo's statement over my child being illegitimate. But I was not one to hold grudges so I responded."I thought everyone in this family is one of the hosts?" It was a genuine question."Well yes but with your husband being the head now, you are pretty much the matriarch of this household. A very young one at that." She gave me a once-over.Maybe I was wrong but I could smell the mockery in her tone. Did she think of me as being incapable of handling things beside Xander?Just like she could read my t

It was here. The day my nonna would be laid to rest. It was not going to be an easy day but I knew I would get through it. I did not have much of a choice anyways.I stood out on my balcony staring out into the large expanse of land that was about to be handed over to someone at the reading of nonna's will in the next couple of days. It was a sour thought that made me grimace."Hey,"I looked back and saw my wife standing there, staring at me the same way she had been doing since we got here - pitifully. I hated being pitied, it made me seem weak but no, I was in no mood to communicate that. She was just concerned about me and I did not blame her for expressing it."Breakfast is getting cold. You should eat something before we the funeral begins. It's going to be a long day." She said.I nodded, not wanting to turn down meals despite my loss of appetite because it made her upset. I was at least going to have a few bites just to make her happy. "I'll join you in a bit."She nodded an

"How's Xander holding up?"I stared at him pitifully before turning away to face the balcony. It had been a couple of days since we arrived and seemed like his moods had gotten even worse as the days went by."It's bad. Really bad. I've never seen him like this." I finally answered her."It's understandable. His nonna meant a lot to him."I nodded in agreement, forgetting she could not see me. "Where's Arya?" I asked, recalling the reason I made the call in the first place."She's napping with her cousins." She answered."Buzz me when she's awake so I can talk to her." "No problem. Take care."I turned back and headed into the room where Xander had been focused on his laptop for hours. Hardly a word had been exchanged between both of us ever since. This was not how I wanted the first week after my wedding to turn out but unfortunately this is what I got."Babe," I called out to him gently. The sound of my voice sounded strange to my own ears. I blamed on it how stressful the past we

~ A week later~The supervision process went pretty smoothly even though I had to lay off one or two slacking staffs. Then I had to choose some new vendors to make our events run seamlessly. That was about it and now I was on my way to the airport, once again saying goodbye to my brother and his fa

As promised, Xander drove us to the airport on the day of my trip.The silence was awkward. He just held on to the steering wheel and replied Arya's chatters while I sat there, looking out the window.Reaching the airport, he waited until we boarded the flight before leaving. I needed this trip. E

It was the weekend. I decided to spend my day with Malik while Xander took Arya with him to some child-friendly event. He wanted me to go with them but I decided against it, recalling all the speculations about us being an item and not wanting to prove the media right any further. Arya of course wa
What's Love Without A Second Chance 60 ~ Xander & Olive (Arya's party)
I chuckled as I recalled Olive's reaction to me being extra cozy with Scarlett . If she did not want me, then why was she so bothered about me being with another woman? I knew she would never admit to being jealous but I was willing to spite her even more today. The party was going to kick off in
