The waves of celebration followed along with an endless stream of food and alcohol. I was certain the hotel was going to make loads of money that night. However, just as everyone was so absorbed in celebrating, Bradon seemed to tense at my side. I watched as he silently stared at the large screen as if he couldn't quite believe the result of the election."We did it," he whispered into my ear as he leaned in close."You're right, we made it. We finally did it," I replied as I threw my arms around him and held him tight.Many emotions swelled inside of me into a strange mix. It was an odd mix of relief, triumph, and a sense of achievement that I had never felt before."You deserve this," I told him honestly, repeating the words that he had said to me before.That night we didn't celebrate alone; the important people in our lives were with us. Anthony walked up to us before pulling Bradon into a tight brotherly hug."I'm so proud of you, brother," Anthony said. "You've done something ex

It felt like life was teaching me the true meaning of being husband and wife, and I felt so thankful that I had Bradon as my husband. Just as his presence gave me comfort, I wanted to be there for him every step of the way. I wanted to be his supporter, his advisor, his biggest fan, as well as his wife. In return, he became more than just my husband and also became a very trusted companion that I valued above all else.Bradon never forgot me in the whirlwind of events. Even on the longest days, he found ways to show me how much he cared and that he was always thinking about me. He didn't say it, but I could feel it in the smallest of things that he did for me. Slipping his hand into mine beneath the dinner table at formal dinners as he smiled at our political counterparts. Going out of his way to leave a note on my pillow when he had to leave before dawn.Our life truly had changed, and it took us some time to adjust, but it was nothing as scary as I had feared.Whether it was his pub

"I'm not sure if this is a terrible or a terrific idea..." I muttered under my breath."I think it's a fantastic idea, but why don't we let the kids judge for themselves?" Bradon replied before he winked playfully at me.A knot formed in the pit of my stomach, and I had to say that I wasn't sure if it was from nervousness or excitement. When Bradon suddenly told me that his new casino was finally ready to open, I congratulated him wholeheartedly. Balancing all the new roles that he had to take on was challenging enough, but Bradon never abandoned his original self.He was still the King of the Underground and as active as ever in expanding his empire in that regard. Even while running the country and helping Desmond, he still had plans for all of his businesses. This brand-new casino was just one of the business projects that he had been working on. Everything seemed joyous and great up until the moment that he proposed that we take our children to the casino's opening night.Are you

"Yes, I think that it's better for them to learn the truth this way. It's also best that they hear it from me and from us," he said, as if he could sense what I was thinking."I guess you're right," I agreed softly."This way, they will hear the truth. They can react and judge it however they want, but at least they will be seeing and hearing the truth instead of half-truths or outright lies about me or our family," Bradon explained further."Looks like you've thought this through already," I replied teasingly."Of course, I have.

The nanny is there... and so is Zain," Bradon replied.I knew that Zain would protect our children with his life, and that Bradon trusted that man more than anything.
