The Billionaire’s Ex Wife

Epilogue

Three months later.

“Girl, you look spiffy!” Amanda grinded, hugging Daisy from behind. She kissed her hair from behind and came forth still holding her. Daisy’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she willed them back so as not to ruin the glamorous makeover she had managed to allow the makeup artist put on her.

“I’m so nervous, Mandy,” She conferred with her, shaking her head. “If anyone had told me by this time last year that I would be remarrying the same man I swore never to do anything with ever again, I would never have believed. Yet, here I am!” She whipped, smiling slightly at the end.

Mandy nodded and started fixing a russet tendril that had fallen to her face, and uttered heartily, “That is because we never know what lies ahead so sometimes we can never say never.” The door opened and Becky rushed in looking frantic.

“What is it?” Mandy asked, looking at Becky with wide fretted eyes.

“It’s Ethan!” she exclaimed, bending over as she fought to take in air. “He just barged in and is threatening to break down the place if they don’t allow him to see the bride!”

“What?” Daisy was up from the chair, a slow smile breaking through her face.

At the same time, Mandy started moving to the door. “Doesn’t he know it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding?” Just as her hand rougher the doorknob, it flew open, and there stood Ethan looking like a demigod donated down to earth from heaven in his five-piece black tuxedo and white shirt, and red bow. The suit hugged his figure, as though he has been working out now following the days to the wedding.

“Ethan!” Mandy shrieked, going to block him when he tried to push through the door. “What are you doing?”

“What does it look like, Mandy?” He retorted, his eyes becoming hazy as they landed on his bride. He couldn’t believe this was happening. His dream was coming true for the second time. Isn’t he the luckiest one? Daisy tilted her head and at once the tears she had been holding came trickling down. She couldn’t believe it either. It was as though their hearts were speaking to each other.

“Go away, Ethan!” Blared Mandy, not giving him any chance. “You have from now till eternity to spend with her. So go so we can prepare her for the wedding unless you are not ready to be married today…”

“Baby, tell them to stop,” He pleaded with Daisy who only smiled through her tears but didn’t say anything. Seeing that they were not going to give him room to enter and that he was keeping them from rounding up, he stepped back nodding his head.

Frantic footsteps echoed down the hall as they ran towards them. Then, Luther, his best man arrived, breathing hard and his eyes narrowed as they rounded on the groom. “Man, what the fuck?” he thundered, his hands going to his waist as he spit daggers at his friend. “We have to leave for the church now! Have you checked the time?” The guy asked and started pulling him away.

Ethan spared a single look with so much longing in his eyes before he faced forward and went with his friend.

“Aww, that is so sweet,” Becky cooed and made went to hold Mandy who quickly pecked her hair and swerved to take he friend’s hand and began pulling her away back to the make-up artist who has been silently watching ten from across the room where the held the veil ready to pin it to the hair of Daisy.

A few hours later, they arrived at the church and made their way in. Once they got out of the car, and Mandy was helping her pack her gown, from her peripheral view Daisy caught a movement from the side and quickly looked towards a black Range Rover which the door opened and to her chagrin, her mother and father came down and hastened to her.

The church door opened at the same time and Mandy’s mother came out smiling broadly, her face stilling when she saw her friend and husband in front of their daughter. Daisy was raging inside and if not for the love she has for Mandy’s mother and the respect for their relationship, she would have chastised her for informing her mother about her wedding.

Today was her special day, and she wouldn’t allow anything to dampen her mood so she quickly bent to take her gown and proceeded towards the church after giving Mandy a single look.

The plan was that Mandy was to walk her to the isle since she was now an imposed orphan and not even the arrival of her estranged parents are going to stop it.

“Raven!” Her father blocked her, his face ridden with enormous guilt. “I’m sorry for what I did to you. Even if you do not want to talk to me, please talk to your mother,” He indicated his wife behind him, whose tears were pouring in tides.

“I do not have a mother and if you think you will come here to ruin my day, you lie!” She flared and tried to pull through but at once he fell to his knees before her and his wife joined him. “We are the worst parents alive and what we did can never be justified, please forgive us!” he clasped his fingers together, a single tear falling down his face.

Daisy shook her head, believing this was a nightmare. This can’t be happening today of all days. She looked towards the door of the church, praying Ethan doesn’t grow agitated thinking she might have chickened out. “I have to go now!” She said snidely, eyeing them murderously. “I have to get married today to the same man you rejected me because he told you I was a whore! I was your child and I was pregnant with your grandchild, still you cast me out under a heavy rain and didn’t care if I died!” Which of what she went through should she start enumerating to these people?

To her utter bewilderment, Mandy’s mother hurried forward and fell on her knees with her parents and like that, Mandy joined them. Daisy’s head was pounding.

Mandy said, “Dee, they deserve everything you want to dish to them and more. In fact, they don’t deserve to call you a daughter as far as I’m concerned. But, they still remain your parents no matter how you want to see it. Please forgive them for the sake of your children. Please…”

“I want to be the one walking you down the aisle, my child,” Her father went closer on his knees to her and reached out to touch her hand. “I promise you that I will never make the mistake of doubting you ever again in this life or next. Allow us to stand by your side under any circumstances henceforth and please forgive us so that your mother can smile once more after many years.”

The church door flew open to Ethan looking like he was going to faint until his eyes landed on her and rapidly turned to relieve. But it became ladled with fear once more when they traveled to the kneeling party before her and he rushed to her.

“What is going on here?” His sharp emerald wound on her parents. “Babe?”

“I forgive you,” Daisy said slowly, looking at her parents. “I forgive you but I may never forget. So I’m going to allow you to walk me down the aisle because maybe it would help fasten the recovery process of my heart,” She broke down and her parents flew up and came to crush her in a hug.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Mandy came to tug Ethan to the side, the knowledge that they were late dissolving into nothingness, the only thing that matters being that finally, forgiveness was abounding

“What are you still doing there, Ethan?” His mother snapped from the door. “Come in, so your wife can enter, let ‘s get this thing over with!”

“Mom, Dad?” Daniel appeared by the side of his grandmother at the church door, garnering the attention of everyone.

Daisy’s mother’s cry intensified. “He looks so much like his father! How could we believe him?”

….

After the reception and couple left the church with Mandy and Becky as they had planned, for their vacation_which they opted to use to replace the honeymoon, their on the yacht, while Becky was facing away and the sea wind was whipping air around her face, the loud chatter behind her made her twist about and her eyes widened in her sockets, her hands flying to cup her mouth.

“Will you do me the honor of marrying me, Sweetheart?” Mandy asked in a voice that was far from hers and a look of longing lingering in her eyes.

“Yea!” Daisy cried from the front of the yacht where she was nuzzled in the arms of Ethan.

“Dee!” Mandy blasted and eyed her. “Can you allow my moment?”

“Yes!” Becky fell to her knees with her and cupped her face, crashing her lips on Mandys. “I have been waiting like forever for you to ask!”

They all chuckled, including Ethan who was having the best time of his life. Due to their imminent departure, they had to leave the kids with their grandparents, not knowing when they were coming back.

The show run month was amazing and so many investors have taken interest in their designs and want to be a part of it while the designs they created were all sold out and more places under quick demand.

Things were going fine for them which is what the girls always wanted and knew they rightfully deserved.

“So what next?” Daisy asked Ethan in a small voice.

He placed a light kiss on her lips and smiled, looking at her small bump to say, “We wait for the arrival of our baby.”

The end!
