Chapter 64: Chapter 64

Three months later…

Constance point of view

“Happy birthday baby," my husband whispers into my ear. I smile shyly as I stare at his reflection through the mirror. He kissed my ear lobe and gently trail the kiss down my neck. I shiver a bit in ecstacy.

“You look so beautiful," he cooed. “I love you so much."

I smile, “I love you too. Thank you for coming back to me."

“I promised you that I will never leave you and I kept my promise. I will always be by your side, baby, always." He kissed my neck once again.

I smiled and stood up as I faced him. I stare into his obsidian black eyes. They are so beautiful and enchanting. I never thought that I could see these beautiful eyes again. Even though I had faith that he would come back to me, I still couldn't help the fear in my heart.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. My eyes are teary, I'm doing all I could not to break down in tears. I can also see the same emotion in my husband's beautiful eyes.

For the past three months, I feel like not leaving his side for a second. Though he survived and came back to me, I still can't forget how scared I was when I thought I'd lost him. The fear got the best part of me, I was wondering how I could leave without him.

If I've lost him too just the way I lost my baby, I don't think I will ever live. During the time I lost my baby, I only managed to live because I don't want to die without killing Darren and Kevin. But when I woke up in the hospital and saw my husband, I had another reason to live.

We are both trying our best to get over the death of our child but of course, it's not easy. Losing a child is painful, talkmore of the first child that opened your womb. Every night, I cry and my husband is always there for me. My husband was trying to be strong for me but I know he was broken just like me.

Grandfather and Jocelyn were hurt too. It hurt grandfather so much that he lost his great grandchild and Jocelyn, it hurt her that she lost a child that could be her heart Godchild.

Hannah got to know everything that has happened and she was heartbroken, she couldn't believe that Kevin is such a devil. Ryan's mother was also sad when I told her everything I went through and she was a bit angry because I hid everything from her.

Darren and Kevin got to pay for their sins. They went to prison. Although I thought the punishment was not enough because they deserve death but grandfather said that we shouldn't take laws into our hands.

All those while we were still gathering evidence against Kevin and Darren while the police were looking for them because they ran away, I was so angry. I knew that my anger and bitterness would only go if Kevin and Darren paid for what they did.

They committed a big sin. Poor Victor died without even getting married or having children. I lost my baby, my husband and grandfather nearly died. I don't know why grandfather would prefer them to stay in jail. I just want them to die a slow and painful death. I was able to calm down when I realized that staying in jail for twenty years is a big punishment. It's more painful than death. They will suffer for twenty years, with no good environment, no good food and they may die from a disease.

When my husband came back alive, the news circulated on the internet and everyone was happy. When Darren and Kevin were found guilty, people cursed them, some even wanted to kill them.

Melinda and Kevin's mother were thrown out of the mansion by grandfather. Even though they weren't part of Kevin's crime, they supported him.

Everything has been moving well since a month ago Kevin and Darren were found guilty and imprisoned. Hannah and Ryan had gotten back together. Ryan went to Hannah and begged for her forgiveness. I don't know how everything went but Hannah told me that she has forgiven him. I was happy when Hannah returned to the mansion. Grandfather and Ryan's mother were happy too.

My husband had become close to Hannah and Ryan's mother, he's no longer cold towards them. He also had a good relationship with Ryan, not so good but better.

Today is my birthday and Hannah has dressed me up so beautifully. She and Jocelyn were in the room with me but had to leave when my husband entered.

I can't hold back the happiness of knowing that my husband is alive. I wrapped my arms around his neck and stared deeply into his eyes. I drew my lips close to his and before I could kiss him, he went ahead of me and claimed my lips.

It was a mild, soft but passionate kiss with all our emotions being poured into it. He deepened the kiss and sucked my tongue, I let out a soft moan.

After some time we broke the kiss as we stared into our eyes. I smile and hug him, hiding my flushed face in his broad chest. I can't thank God enough for bringing my husband back to me.

He gently raised my head up, he looked down at the key pendant of the necklace he gave me. He kissed it and then kissed my lips gently. I smile.

“You will forever hold the key to my heart. We will be together, forever."

“Forever," I said and kissed his lips. After the little kiss, he cupped my face and stared into my eyes with love glistening in his eyes.

“For your birthday gift, I want you to ask me anything and I will give it to you."

I smile and cup his face. “You are everything I want, I do not want anything else. You came back into my life, that's the best gift I have ever received."

“You are so sweet." he kissed my cheek. I giggled.

“Four months ago, I was writing something on a piece of paper and you thought I was writing to my girlfriend." I raised my brows at him. “Today, I am going to let you know that I was writing to you."

I smile, “I can't wait for the surprise."

He smiled and kissed my cheeks.

“Are you ready?" He asked me. I nod my head. He took my hands and we walked out of the room.

The hotel event hall where my birthday is being held has been decorated beautifully. I didn't want this extravagant birthday party but my husband thought otherwise. He said that I'm his Queen and I deserve the best. Many high profile personnel are invited. I never in my life thought that one day, my birthday will be graced by such people.

As I was walking down the staircase with my husband, every eye was on us and everyone was clapping too. I couldn't help but feel shy and happy at the same time. Shy because of the eyes that are staring at me. Happy because I got to celebrate my twenty-first birthday with my family. Three months ago, I thought that I'd lost my husband. I thought that I've lost my grandfather too. I thought I would never celebrate my twenty-first birthday with them. Having them with me at my birthday party is the best gift I could ever ask for.

After climbing down the stairs, many people came to greet me. I don't know most of them but I'm sure my husband knows them. And I'm sure that they also know me. I never knew that an introvert like me would be exposed to a lot of people. Ever since my husband returned, we have been going to lots of interviews. People were happy that he made it alive from the jet and also happy that the people that tried to kill him were punished at last.

I never wanted to live a public figure life but here I am. I can't even help it. In school I am treated like a goddess. For God sake, I'm not a celebrity but my husband. Well, I guess I am. My husband won't have enough of flaunting me to the public as his beautiful wife. Most celebrities don't do so and that's why some of them, their wives are not known.

After cutting the cake, many gifts were given to me by people who graced my birthday party.

“Happy birthday my dear," grandfather said and gave me a little hug before giving me the gift he got for me.

“Thank you grandfather." I'm glad that grandfather is back on his feet, he's now strong and healthy. He just got out of his wheelchair late last week. I know that grandfather is still hurting. His grandson tried to kill him, it's not something he will easily get over with. But I hope that he will understand that he has done nothing wrong. He treated Kevin with love but the bastard decided to pay him back with evil.

“Happy birthday bestie!" Jocelyn squeaks happily as she hugs me. I'm so happy to have a friend like Jocelyn. She's just the best.

Hannah also gave me the gift she got for me. Ryan's mother did the same. I was a bit surprised when Ryan gave me a gift. I never thought that Ryan could give me a gift but I was happy he did.

The party was going smoothly and I couldn't stop smiling, especially knowing that my family is complete and that they are here with me.

Suddenly the lights went off. My heart skipped and I turned to my left but my husband who was there with me a while ago is no longer standing beside me. Fear clouded me immediately, I moved my feet, and started walking in the dark calling out his name but my voice was hidden in the loud murmur of the people who were in the large hall.

My anxiety began to rise, fortunately, the lights came on once again and I saw my husband, standing on the big platform with a guitar in his hand and a microphone close to his mouth. I was able to give a sigh of relief.

“I have this beautiful song composed for my beautiful wife. This song is to tell her how much I love her and I will continue to love her till my last breath. Thank you baby for loving me till now. Even though I was a jerk, you still forgave me. I don't deserve your love but I want you to know that I love you so much."

Before he completed his speech, my cheeks were already wet with tears. I released more tears as he started singing. The lyrics of his song are full of love. Love directed towards me. I continue to sob as he sings. This is a tear of joy...I just couldn't help it.

So he was writing a song for me four months ago. Why is this so sweet? I just can't control my tears. The lyrics held so much emotion, it explained our love in detail. His eyes were stuck on me as he sang and it made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I feel so special right now.

Just like before, the light suddenly went off. I didn't panic this time. Maybe my husband has another surprise for me. But the next second, I felt a strong hand cover my nose from behind and then I inhaled something which made my eyes feel heavy. The next thing I felt was total darkness.
