Trunks, bag, and basket were packed and loaded in the car. The plot was locked for further time. And Arora and Maxie were getting emotional. “We are not going that far, honey. Mrs. Paige can always come and meet us” Jacob said while hugging his wife. “Sure she can. But every day would be hard to come,” she whispered out and all laughed at this. Maxie and Uncle Jacob were close to Dre too though their baby was an exception. She was also standing at the side and hugging each one by another. “I will miss you,” Dre said to Maxie. Maxie only patted her face and placed a kiss on her forehead. “Oh dear, I forgot my purse on the poolside” Maxie told her husband. “Let me bring” Jacob answered. “Leave it to me, uncle. You guys talk for a while,” Dre answered and move towards the poolside. Reaching the area Dre searched for the purse and but it was nowhere to found.  Dre sighed, a single job cannot be done by me. “You are looking for this” Liam’s voice came in. “Yeah” she replied and tried to take it. “I can take this,” he said. Dre rotated her head, “Always trying to take the credit, huh”. She moved back to exit from the plot. “I am going away today and this is all you have to say,” Liam said. Dre turned to him, “Bye” she said in a monotone. “Just that?” he pried. “What do you want? Loser” she replied. Liam bit his cheeck, “why did you give me that chain?” Dre gave him an uninterested look, "not that was your birthday?” Liam moved towards her slowly but seductively while Dre remain on her ground without moving an inch.  “Why, wolf?” he asked Dre confronted him, “Your eyes” she stared at him, keeping the gaze as he was returning her. “Are ugly” she completed “like wolves”. After saying that she turned to move back. “Can I ask you a question?” he voiced. “No, I cannot bear you another second.” she replied. “For fifteen minutes too?” he negotiated. Dre stopped in her tracks, “Okay speak. I only have fifteen minutes”. “Then let me ask you a dare,” he said to start a conversation. “Look, I don’t have time to play your stupid games. I did not play with you when we were kids. What makes you think you will take revenge on me now?” she said mocking him. Seriously, play with him, she thought. “You are cracked” she added. He stared at her for a while without saying anything. “Common answer, what would you do if I am the last person on earth to ask help for?”  “Okay” she replied, if he wanted an answer that bad, “If you were the last person on earth I would still not be coming to you”.  “Why?” “How old are you, five? My wish, my choice” “You know life does not give you choice every time”. “Well, I have now” she replied, “And I will have after you too. You are going from my life for forever. You know that was not my choice but it was a wish come true” “I hope to never see you again, Liam” with that Dre turned and reached her parents, Liam walking behind her. Both couples hugged each other and then Dre too hugged Maxie and Jacob for last time. Arora motioned her daughter to give Liam a goodbye too, but she won’t move. “Dre...” Anthony said to his daughter. Dre walked straight to Liam and put both her arms in his neck bidding him goodbye. Liam instantly took Dre in her secured and broad arms, clutching her waist in his tight embrace. Both mothers cooed at this. Dre tried to pull out within half of a second but Liam hold has to tighten to free from. She surrenders to avoid a fight.   Ace family seated in the car. Ace on the driver seat and while Maxie and Jacob on the backseat. They drove over while Arora got a little emotional. In the car, Maxie and Jacob were a little sad and also a little happy. They were going where they belong too, in the first place. “After 10 years, honey,” Maxie said while placing her head on her husband’s chest. “Yes, dear. When we were coming from here I was the one who was driving and now when we are going back my son is driving us back” he puffed his chest. Maxie smiled at his words, “Our struggle is over now. We are safe and secure”. “And powerful” Jacob completed. “Dre said she will miss me,” Maxie said to her son. Liam smiled hearing his mom's indirect way to bring Dre in conversation. “I will miss her too,” Maxie said while playing with her husband's fingers. “Not for too long mom” Liam replied while driving. “Well she hates your guts for sure Liam,” she said to him, “but be sure that I will only accept her as my daughter-in-law,” she said while her eyes get the golden glint in them. Golden eyes replied back, “yes, mom”
