Chapter 40 — Forever
346 Words
The wedding was small.
Only family and a few close friends attended.
Amelia walked down the aisle beside her father.
At the end stood Damian.
He looked at her as if she were the only person in the world.
When she reached him, he whispered,
“You look beautiful.”
She smiled.
“You don't look bad yourself.”
Everyone laughed.
The ceremony began.
This time there was no contract.
No business agreement.
No secret clause.
Only promises.
Damian held Amelia's hands.
“I once believed love was a weakness.”
Amelia's eyes filled with tears.
“I was wrong.”
He continued.
“You taught me that loving someone doesn't make you weak. It gives you something worth protecting.”
Amelia smiled.
“You protected me.”
“You protected me too.”
They exchanged rings.
When the ceremony ended, Damian kissed her.
Everyone applauded.
Later that evening, Amelia stood outside beneath the stars.
Damian joined her.
“Are you happy?”
She looked at him.
“Very.”
“Do you ever regret signing that first contract?”
Amelia laughed.
“Sometimes.”
“Why?”
“Because I didn't know what I was getting myself into.”
Damian smiled.
“And now?”
She took his hand.
“Now I know.”
They looked toward the lights of the city.
Amelia thought about everything that had happened.
The loss of her father's company.
The contract.
The secrets.
The threats.
The discovery of her mother.
Finding Sophie.
The betrayal.
And finally, love.
She had entered Damian Cross's life because she needed his help.
She had stayed because she loved him.
And now she knew she would choose him again.
Damian kissed her forehead.
“Forever?”
She smiled.
“Forever.”
And under the quiet night sky, the billionaire and his former contract wife began the only chapter that truly mattered.
Their life together.
Not because they were forced to.
Not because of money.
Not because of a contract.
But because they chose each other.
And this time, there were no conditions.
Only love.
