Chapter Twenty-Six — My Shot at Happiness
Will’s POV:
I smiled as I stared at the beautiful creature that was lying next to me. She was beautiful in and out and in every way possible, and she was mine. The beautiful, pure hearted, smart, angelic creature was mine, and I was hers too.
I wanted to wife her right after I discovered how strong my feelings for her were. It didn’t matter if we had just met, I just wanted to make her mine and make sure she never slips away from me. I love her so much and I’m glad she loves me back.
I couldn’t stand the thought of anything or anyone hurting her. I would never let them touch even a strand of her hair. She deserved every good thing in this life and I would make sure she gets it all.
I already asked Ike to release the audio of Megan and Davis that was recorded when their office was bugged, since they refused to take the demeaning article down and make a new one stating that all they said about Irene was a lie. The voice notes will be posted online to show how corny they both are and Ike already got in touch with a pro hacker to take the article down while a new one will be written and it would state clearly that Megan is a spoilt obsessed brat who lied in an article because she was jealous of how myself and Irene have always been in love.
*****
It’s been a week since the new article got published. I paid for it to be sponsored on every possible platform and thankfully it helped. Irene’s as been restored and it has been announced to everyone that I and Irene are married.
I heard after the voice note was released Megan left and travelled back to where she came from and Davis resigned because the shame at work was too much.
I still haven’t heard from my dad. I hope he is doing fine.
“Will your phone’s ringing” Irene said as she brought the phone to me in the balcony.
“Who’s calling” I asked.
“I don’t know. Some strange number” she replied.
“Oh, let me see"
I swiped over to answer and waited to hear something. After a few seconds I heard a familiar voice. My dad’s voice.
“Hello son."
“Hello Dad.” I replied.
“I’m sorry. I’m very sorry son. I know you think I’ve failed you as a father and I am sorry, I am so sorry for not listening to you, I’m sorry for not realizing you’re grown enough to make decisions on your own. Please forgive me and come back home. The company was always yours. The reason I worked so hard on it was because I wanted you to have it” he said through sobs and sounded very sober.
I could see Irene nod yes as she massaged my hand, after she asked in a whisper if it was dad and I said yes.
“I forgive you dad. And I’m sorry for the things I said the other day. I appreciate all you’ve ever done for me and I’m sorry you went through all that heartbreak caused by mum” I replied.
After we settled, we spent the next minutes talking about how he was doing, and how I and Irene got married and I’m sorry for not inviting him. He asked that we come back but I told him we were on our honey moon which would be happening for a month so we wouldn’t be back until after a month. He spoke with Irene and I’m so glad they got along immediately. He told me the company was now doing fine and till I come back the acting CEO was one of the executives. He was an elderly man and he was very good and experienced so the company was safe.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that when you have a shot at happiness take it as long as you don’t hurt anybody in the process, take it and just be happy.
Irene was my shot at happiness and I’m glad I took that shot…
*The End*
