It was a bracelet, gold with a small heart that had a diamond in the center.
“So, Rosalie, will you marry me in front of the club, for everyone to bear witness?” And then, he sunk to his knees in front of her. “Because I love you more than anything in this world.”
Epilogue
Ten Years Later
“Gabrielle, I swear, you better come down those stairs right now!” Colt said.
Rosalie winced.
Gabrielle was their first child, a sweet ten-year-old, only they had gotten a call from the principal today. Colt liked to think their daughter was an angel, took pride in telling the whole club that she was. Only, Gabrielle had been called into the office for hurting a boy.
“It wasn’t my fault,” Gabrielle said. “It wasn’t. He was being mean to Marsha and cruel, and you would have totally punched him, Dad. Tommy Carter is a dick.”
“Language,” Rosalie said.
“Well, tell me what kind of dick this boy was being?” Colt asked.
Rosalie chuckled as she continued to chop the vegetables. Their fourth child was not letting her catch a break. Constantly kicking her in the gut and moving around. She had spent the day either feeling winded or in need of peeing. It hadn’t been a good day. She didn’t want to worry Colt, though.
Ten years hadn’t changed her hatred of hospitals, and if there was even a hint of worry when it came to her pregnancies, then he was always all over it, like a mother hen, which was adorable, but she still hated hospitals.
“I’ll talk to the principal tomorrow,” Colt said. “You’re not going to apologize for defending your buddy.” He held his knuckles out to his little girl, and she fist-bumped him right back. “Go and do your homework before I change my mind.”
“That is not helping,” Rosalie said.
“I’m not going to tell my girl off for defending her friend. I seem to know of two people who are more like sisters than friends, and she would gladly come and beat the living shit out of me if I hurt you. Tommy Carter sounds like a right dick.”
“Tommy Carter probably is, but he’s also ten years old.”
“I don’t care,” Colt said, rounding the counter, and wrapping his arms around her. “How is my woman?”
“Fine.” She winced.
“Our baby girl or boy giving you trouble?”
They never saw the sex of their child. Gabrielle had been a surprise, so was Drago, Colt’s suggestion for his son’s name. Little Lilly was also a surprise. She was born a little prematurely but had grown into a beautiful little girl, who was two, and a little nightmare.
This was their family. Ten years married. Three children, another on the way.
She had a thriving diner, which she ran with Petal, and as for Petal, she didn’t even want to think about her best friend right now. She had been through a lot, they both had, but they were stronger than ever.
Her marriage was also stronger than ever. It had started out as a business deal, a toxic arrangement, and now it was the best thing that had ever happened to her. Even though she hated Daemon with a passion, she couldn’t deny this was the one and only good thing he ever did.
