Robert's POV

I was devastated. She was leaving me. I was hurting... but I am not hopeless, Hailey.

That kiss, made me realize how I need you. Not for a kiss, Hailey, I want you to be here with me.You are the one who always gave me strength. I want you in my good and my bad. You are theone who made me a good man. You are the only one who made me happy, made me alive.Without you, I am nothing.

I know you wanna restart. So why can't I?

I won't let you go, no I will not.

I checked my time. There was still half an hour to her flight. I ran towards the airport and foundher almost boarding the plane.

I dragged her out of the queue and she gasped looking at me. Alex and her mom were alreadyinside the plane.

“What are you doing here!?"

“I don’t want you to go. Please... stay”

She looked at me as tears welled up in her eyes. “You still don’t know the reason...”

What is it, Hailey?

Why can’t you be with me?

“Hailey...”

“Let me go" she started going, but I pulled her, and her hand rested on my chest as her facecame very close to me.

“I love you, Hailey. Stay”

She looked shocked as she processed the information.

“R-Really?”

“Hell, Hailey yes! I love you—"

“Sir, you need to get out” some officer interrupted me and then dragged me out. Hailey wasstill not replying and I had lost hope now.

I was sitting in the police station because they were blaming me for delaying their flight. Afterall, I took out a “client’.

I sighed and apologized, I got up. But they stopped me.Some sentences are incomplete if youare not reading this novel on Ebookex.com. Visit Ebookex.com to read the complete chapters forfree. “You are not stopping me for this!" I said irritated.

“Yes, we wouldn't. But a woman filed a harassment report”

My face paled and my heartbeat raced.

Hara*sment Report?

Hailey?

I was heartbroken and so, I decided to accept it. “Charge me, then”

They nodded. “Just a minute” they left.

I was harassing you, Hailey?

I-I can’t believe this.

I waited for like five minutes and the officers returned. “What is your name?” they questioned.“Robert—"

“What is happening?” My eyes snapped towards the door as I saw Hailey.

“Mam, you filed this—"

“That was a mistake, I will compensate for this. I am sorry”

The officer looked irritated, but let go. “you should go out now!” he almost yelled.

We went out and I looked down.

“You thought I would?” she questioned me.

“I... I don't know. But why did you do that?”

“To stop you?” She looked at me. “About what you said..." she stopped. “Is it true?”

“Yes, it is! Hailey... I-L.."

“Say it” she took a step towards me.

“I...I love you"

She smiled and joined our lips. I didn’t expect this at all, but I was so happy right now.

I kissed her back, making sure that I don't ruin anything again.

“I thought you were friends!” we heard a voice and turned around to replace her mom.

I was undoubtedly embarrassed but Hailey was blushing like crazy.

“Not anymore, mom” she replied and I looked at her.

“I am tired of boys proposing girls, Robert” she took my hand. “Will you marry me?”

I was too happy to react.

After all this... she wanna marry me?

“07

“Don’t reject me” she winked.

“I... will, of course, I will Hailey! I love you so much!” I hugged her and she hugged me back.“Only I know how long I have waited for these three words, Robert. People say this a lot, but Iknow you are sincere and I know what these words mean to me, you... what they mean to us”she whispered. “I love you too, Robert”

Hailey's POV

Robert is the best thing that ever happened to me.

“I do” he smiled at me and I smiled back. The priest is taking the prayers and Robert's eyes arenot leaving mines for any minute.

“Do you, Hailey Cameron, accept Robert Anderson, as your lawfully wedded husband? To haveand to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and inhealth, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”

“I do” a tear rolled down my cheeks as my heart filled with joy. He wiped the tear. “Don't..”“They are of happiness” I smiled.

“Yeah... still..."

The priest ordered us to exchange rings and after we did, he announced. “With the powerbestowed upon me by the gods

and goddesses, I now declare you as husband and wife. You shall kiss”

He came towards me with a small step and looked at me lovingly. “Are you ready?"

“Always” I winked.

He chuckled. “I love you” he kissed me and damn, it was the sweetest kiss.

I had invited his parents and Kate too. Well, I explained everything to Sara too and gosh, sheunderstood!

Robert wasn't very happy about his parents being here, but he is okay.

I want him to make peace with them today.

“No Hailey...” he said again.

“Please?”

“Okay,” he sighed and went to his dad. “Dad”

His dad looked at him, and he was very happy. “l wanna make up with you all”

Their faces were shocked. “My dear son!” they all hugged him and I just smiled looking at him.He went to Kate.

“Sorry sis for being always cold to you for reasons you don't even know”

“It is okay, Rob. I know”

“You do?”

“Yes. And I love my brother” she winked.

He smiled. “I love you two."

They parted and he came to me. “I wanna tell you about my past”

We reached home after the wedding and as we entered the room, he locked the door.

“Tell me” I replied.

“Okay...” he sat down, and I sat beside him. “I-I hated my family for a reason, Hailey. I wannatell you everything because now there is no secret between us”

“Go on” I smiled and he nodded.

“My family... my dad, he was also in Mafia earlier. But after he lost a war between him and theother Mafia, which was run by... Nicholson's... I mean, your dad...”

I looked at him shocked. My dad was in Mafia?

“C-Continue” I hesitantly said.

“You can stop me if you want, okay?” I nodded.

“He... he lost and then was left with nothing. He had no money. So, he... he sold me to yourdad”

Sold?

WHAT?

“Yes” he answered my unasked question.

Here he comes again, reading my mind.

“Am I supposed to laugh at that?"

“Stop reading my mind and go on,” I said irritated. He nodded. “After that... I was- I was treatedlike a pile of rubbish. So, I ran away. I found my foster parents. They took care of me. I wasnothing like a cold-hearted person..." he looked at me. “Until one day, Y-Your dad killed them.After everything, my dad grew powerful and so... he attacked your dad's business. Your dad p-passed away in that fight... and that is the reason that your mom was a heart patient. AboutIvan... Il swear he was... he was also with Nicholson. A-And that lake, when you first took me, t-that was the spot where they did the deal of me”

I looked surprised and shocked by his words. My dad? Why? I-I am the reason he is like this. Iam his daughter. And Ivan? He?

“Then why do you love me? The daughter of that monster? The one who destroyed your life?” Iasked.

He smiled sadly. “Because that girl is the only one who understood me too. And there is just noreason that I love you. I just... I love you”

I hugged him as I found how much he has been through and how he must be keeping up withme.

“I never saw you as his daughter, because you have your light" he whispered.

I smiled at him and a thought struck my mind. “I have been wondering...” he looked at me.“What did your closet password mean? I mean, it wasn't some random number, was it?"

“It was your name”

“How—oh gosh. H-A-I-L-E-Y, 8-I-9-I2-5-25I"

“Yes”

“So... you love me from so back?” I looked intently into his eyes.

“Yes, without realizing”

I kissed him. “I love you, Robert. I will always be here, beside you. You are my other half"“You are my other half” he smiled and repeated. “I will always be here, Hailey, and will alwayslove you”
