Raine felt like he had been kneeling for a thousand years instead of just a few minutes as he waited for Meira to give him her answer but unfortunately she was taking her sweet time doing that. “Say yes you dumb idiot.” Her subconscious snapped at her. “You’re never going to find a better man than him and you know it.” “I hope I’m not making a second mistake.” Meira thought as she nodded giving him her answer. This was probably the way to find out what could have been. “Is that a yes?”. He asked hopefully. “Yes.” She replied. “Yes I’ll marry you.” She laughed. Raine took out the ring, dropped the box and slid the ring on her left finger and rose to his feet. He looked at the ring with a grin on his face. He was glad he didn’t have to get the ring resized to fit her and it

Raine was careful as he drove but he still drove past the limit weaving through traffic like it was nothing and Gabe was cheering him on. “Don’t say a word about this to Mom.” Raine told the twins. “Yes dad.” They nodded. He got home thirty minutes later and the car screeched to a halt in front of the house when the front door opened and someone was thrown out. “What or who gave you the right to come into my fiance’s house to tell me this rubbish?!”. Raine could hear Meira’s raised voice from inside the car before he alighted and the twins did the same. “What’s going on here?”. He asked

By the time Meira finished making dinner for Raine and went to his room, she found him already asleep on the bed dressed only in black pajama pants and she sighed. He was truly tired if he couldn’t wait for her to come and give him a massage. She looked down at the tray containing his toast and coffee then at him before she turned and walked to the door but she was surprised when he called out her name. “Where do you think you’re going to?”. He asked. “Uh… I thought you were asleep already.” She walked back to his bed and dropped the tray on his bedside table. “I’m used to waking up at the slightest sound.” He sat up then looked over at the food. “Thanks.” He reached over for one toast and bit into it. “Good?”. She made a face. “Delizioso.” He gave her a thumbs up

Raine was on his way to his room when he heard sounds coming from Meira’s room. She sounded as if she was trying to fight someone off and then she let out a ear piercing scream that spurred him to run to her room and barge in but he didn’t see anyone. He realized then that she was having a nightmare and hurried to her bed. “Meira.” He gently shook her. “Baby, wake up.” “Let go of me!”. She cried. “Meira!”. He bellowed. Meira jerked up from her sleep sweating and crying with her teeth chattering as if she was very cold. “Sweetheart.” Raine said. “It’s me.” He didn’t want to touch her so he wouldn’t aggravate her again. Meira looked at Raine with tear filled eyes and flung herself at him. “It’s okay. Nothing can touch you now.&r

Raine and Meira got married on the first of August a few days after the twins school vacated for the holidays. It was a very small quiet wedding as Meira wanted but a few reporters were invited to cover the wedding.   Meira’s beige colored gown was the talk of the town for weeks and most people wondered why she’d not worn white even at her first wedding but they couldn’t deny that she was the most beautiful bride they’d ever seen.   The reception was held in the ballroom of Vital Comforts Hotel and there the world witnessed again how much the billionaire loved his new wife from the song he sang to her in Italian; “Amo soltanto te” which was translated in English.   The applause was deafening after he finished singing and the crowd asked for an encore but he shook his head laughing and apologized, telling them that the only person he’d be singing to again will be his wife in private and the crowd roared with laughter.
