Marona's POV

These dusty walls hold so many memories. No matter how many years pass or how much I try to forget, this house will always remind me of the laughter I shared with my mother. 

But with laughs this house holds painful memories also. It's been a couple of years, time is flying and the house is no longer strong to stand. So I thought why not turn it into something beautiful and useful. 

I shared my thoughts with Mikhail and he agreed, we decided to turn this house into a clinic. Mikhail has hired a team which will give free health consultation to whoever needs it. It's just a small attempt to rescue people from psychological problems. I hope it gets success. 

We are trying to clear up the place as it will get scrapped soon but I don't want my valuable things to get lost if there are any.

Ivan had discarded all things, his shadows didn't just roam in the house but he destroyed my mother's memories also. How can he hold so much hate in his heart that he ruined her belongings even after killing her. 

"Wait, Andres!"

I turned around when Sabrina ran behind her brother. 

They have become so chaotic with growing ages. It feels like they were crawling yesterday and now they are going to school. 

Andres stopped and groaned annoyingly. 

"Sabrina, will you stop bothering me?..."

Opps! He sounds mad. He is just like his father. Calm and strict. I have never seen a boy acting like a grown man. Andres is also smart like his father, he is excellent in studies and fabulous in everything he does. 

"I don't want to wear your Jacaranda tiara... Don't you understand that?"

He scolded her. 

Sabrina pouted. Ohh, baby! She looked heartbroken. I know she does some extreme things sometimes, which annoys Andres but she is just a curious little baby. 

"Andres, you won't become a fairy and fly if you just keep it on your head..."

She yelled back in her cute voice. 

"In fact you will look like an angel."

"I am not an angel!"

He rolled his eyes like the annoyance is talking toll on him.

"But what's wrong with becoming an angel?"

She exclaimed madly. 

"It's exciting. And you are boring!"

"And you are dumb!"

Andres said calmly but arrogantly. 

"Andres!"

I interrupted them.

"Be kind to your sister, darling... You can't call her bad words."

He looked at me.

"I am sorry, Mom... But everything is rainbow and sunshine for her. That's not reality."

I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Then what's the reality?"

"It's anything else but rainbows and sunshine."

He stated firmly. 

"Are you spending too much time with Rafael?"

I looked at him amused. Now I understand why he loves Rafael's study so much.

"He is cool."

He shrugged and walked out. 

Sabrina pouted while looking at the tiara which she made by herself. 

"Why don't he like this? Jacaranda is so beautiful... I made it so excitedly for Andres, now it's a waste." 

"I'll wear it!"

I smiled.

"No, it's for boys. I made it look like a king crown, see!"

She sulked. 

"Then it's for me!"

Mikhail came downstairs and knelt in front of her with a smile.

"Why are you sad when your favourite man is here?"

Sabrina smiled but was confused. 

"Will you wear it? But you are a boss now. Mamma said that we shouldn't disturb you when you are in black suit. We can only play with you when you are in your t-shirt." 

Okay! I had to make the rule because these two disturb Mikhail when he is working and it's dangerous. We don't know what dangerous thing he is doing when he is in the boss role. 

It's always safe when he comes to the room and gets ready for the bed. They play a lot at night. 

Mikhail chuckled.

"But I am the boss for others, not you. I am always your father, no matter what I am doing."

Sabrina grinned and placed the crown on his head. 

"Wow, Dad! You are looking like an angel king."

Mikhail chuckled while fixing the tiara on his head. 

"Thank you for the crown."

"It looks so beautiful... Jacaranda is so pleasing... Dad, why don't you call me Jacaranda. I love that name."

She asked innocently. 

My eyes watered as soon as I heard those words. Mikhail quickly looked at me and sighed. 

"But I like your name, Sabrina... And my favourite name for you is a little doll... Then how can you call with another name?"

He tricked her. 

"Ohh, right!"

She nodded in agreement innocently. 

"I'll ask Andres if he can call me that."

She ran out excitedly. 

"No matter how much he scolds her, she is always behind him."

Mikhail chuckled and looked at me with a sigh. 

"It's okay, Amore... Why are you so emotional?"

He pulled me in a hug. 

I released a deep breath to overcome the heaviness in my chest. 

"I don't know, it just hit me... She is just like my mother, she actually loves jacaranda so much and her eating habits are also like her..."

He chuckled.

"Isn't it a good thing... She will be a good girl... Okay, let's wrap it up quickly."

I nodded.

"Yes!.."

We quickly cleared up things and only one room was left, the one which I was avoiding till now. 

"Why is this the only room which is locked?"

Mikhail was confused and tried to twist the handle. 

He looked at me for an answer and stood there numb. 

He frowned at my direction and simply kicked the door. It was already weak so it broke down easily. 

He entered and raised his eyes surprised. 

"So this is why you were scared when I took you to the BDSM room!"

I gulped and looked at the scary room from where I used to hear her painful screams. It still haunts me. 

"He was a monster... I don't want to talk about anything else."

It was a pleasure for him but for her it was a horror. 

Mikhail sighed. 

"We don't need to talk about it..."

"Mom, see what I made... I'll gift this to Dimitri, it's his birthday today."

Sabrina ran towards us and Mikhail quickly stood in front of the  open door to block the view of the scary room. 

She showed me the doll she made out of leaves. She is so cute. 

"Fuck! We have to go to the party... We are late!"

Mikhail exclaimed. He grabbed his head and looked at Sabrina. 

"You are going to unheard the bad word I just said."

He warned her.

"I forgot about it too... Mira is going to kill me."

I panicked. 

"She specially brought saree for me." 

"Ten missed calls from Damon."

Mikhail checked his phone and cursed. 

"Let's go!"

We quickly grabbed the kids and rushed out. Thankfully Mikhail was quick. 

Yeah! I struggled to wear a saree even though it was ready to wear. I did my makeup in the car and finally reached the venue. 

To be honest, I was expecting everyone to scold us but surprisingly everyone was surprised and happy to see us. Mira literally hugged me. 

"Oh my god! You came..."

She squealed in happiness. 

"And this saree is looking so good on you... Green is definitely your colour."

I smiled. It feels so good when you get a compliment from a girl.

"Thank you so much."

She is shining in her saree as always. 

"But I thought you would be mad at me."

She shook her head. 

"No, I actually thought that Mikhail is not letting you out of the house... I was sad for you. But yeah I am a little mad because the cake cutting is over but the party is still on."

I pouted.

"Sorry, I missed it... But Mira, Mikhail is not like that anymore. I know you are mad at him but I think it's high time that you two should make up."

She looked guilty. 

"Yeah! Maybe I misunderstood him. He is actually treating you good now."

I watched her as she went to Mikhail who was talking to Damon. Is she really doing it now? This girl is not embarrassed to accept her faults and doesn't fear to apologise either. Really courageous!

"Mikhail!"

She grabbed his attention and he looked at her confused. 

"I am sorry. I was under the impression that you are a jerk and treat your wife like an animal but I was wrong... So I am sorry."

She was straightforward. 

Mikhail was stunned for a minute, he wasn't expecting it. 

"Umm!"

He looked at Damon to confirm if it was a prank.

"It's fine, I don't mind."

He said awkwardly, he never looked so shocked and confused at the same time. I couldn't stop laughing, Damon was also having fun. 

We enjoyed the party and it was finally over. The garden table looked the best place to sit with my husband who was looking dangerously handsome tonight. 

"So, should we call it a big day because you and Mira are friends now."

He chuckled while shaking his head. 

"Maybe. I am still shocked."

I admired his moonlit face. Whenever I look at this man, it feels like I have accomplished everything. 

"I love you!"

He looked at me when I said that out of the blue but shy smile on his face told me that he loved it. 

"What's the occasion?"

He gently held my hand. 

"The occasion is, you are mine for the rest of our life."

I teased. 

"Of course, I am! Like you are mine..."

He kissed my hand. 

"I feel complete whenever I look at you... We made it even after so many struggles. I don't want anything now."

He pulled my chair close to him and kissed my head. 

"Should I make you want more things?"

I asked teasingly. 

He raised his eyebrows, knowing that there is something in my mind. I placed his hand on my belly and his eyes widened. 

"Oh my goodness! Really?"

He was struggling to control his happiness. 

"So it's just an add on to our happy family."

I placed my head on his shoulder and he wrapped a protective arm around me. 

"You are the best thing which has happened to me... And I promise that I'll take care of you forever!"

Our lips met in a passionate kiss. 

"I love when you say Forever!"

Our foreheads joined as we admired each other. 

"Mamma..."

Andres and Sabrina came to us running with ice cream."

"How many ice cream did you guys have?"

I frowned. 

"It's for you people... We have had enough!"

Andres said bored and placed cups in front of us. 

And here he is back with his straightforward replies. 

"Okay, Mommy needs to tell you some good news..."

They both looked at us curiously. 

"I am pregnant and you guys are soon going to have a sibling." 

"Is it a boy or girl!"

Andres narrowed his eyes and Mikhail raised his eyebrows amused at his attitude. He shouldn't be because he has inherited it from him. 

But he must have decided to mess with him so he lied. 

"It's a girl!"

"Oh yes!"

Sabrina jumped in happiness. 

"Oh no!"

Andres slapped his head like it's going to be another headache for him. 

We both burst out laughing and picked our little devils while kissing their chubby cheeks. 

Yes! This was all I wanted and I got it. 

No matter how much we chase things, we only get those which are written in our fate. 

I have finally got my peaceful and happy ending or should I say that it's the beginning! 

The End!

From which angle do I look beautiful."He smiled. "Believe it or not, I love you more like this instead of makeup... You are a natural beauty."She blushed and lazily threw herself at him.
