Epilogue

Seven years later, "Mom, I have drawn this." Alice, Sapphire's seven years old daughter showed her the picture she painted.

"Wow, honey, it's beautiful." Sapphire complimented.

"Baby, have you completed your home task yet?" She asked.

"Yes, mom. Mom, you know I have obtained 100% in my class test. See." Alice showed her the test report.

"Wow, darling. It's incredible. Let mama give you a kiss." Sapphire leaned carefully and kissed Alice's both cheeks. She was pregnant of four months.

Alice giggled when Sapphire tickled her.

"Oh, mommy, it tickles." She laughed.

"Mom, you know, I told my friends about you that you are a scientis. They all said that you are so cool." Alice announced in a proud voice. Sapphire couldn't help laughing.

She couldn't pronounce scientist. So she spelled it as 'scientis'.

"What is a scientist, baby?" Sapphire asked.

"I don't know much. But I know that mom you made a big medicine and many people are living. I saw your award. Daddy told me." Alice answered.

It was true. Sapphire was a scientist. After completing her graduation and Ph.D Sapphire started working in her own scientific organization. Sapphire built a scientific organization and she was a lecturer in a university. Her life was very busy. At that time, Lily and Devon lived at the same house and helped raising Alice.

After her long term research of three years, she was able to invent an antibiotic which worked on a dangerous bacterium. Many people were dying of this infection as there were no new drug or vaccine, the micro-organism developed a resistance. Even WHO declared a warning for that infection but Sapphire's sudden invention was like a blessing. She received an award for her invention; she was an icon for the young generation.

Beauty, brain, riches -she had all. No matter how busy she was, she never neglected her family.

Sapphire was reading Alice a story that's when Alexander entered the room. He was exhausted from his company and mafia works.

"What is my little angel doing?" Alexander asked.

"Daddy!" Alice got down from the bed and jumped on Alexander.

"How was your day, Princess Alice?" Alexander kissed her forehead.

"Good, daddy." Alice kissed his father's cheeks.

Alexander went to Sapphire and kissed her lips.

"And what about my angel? Did you miss me?" Alexander asked Sapphire.

Sapphire blushed and looked away.

Alexander laughed, Sapphire still blushed.

Alexander got freshened up and they had dinner. Alice was asleep in her room.

Now, Sapphire wanted to take a break from her works and give all her times to the family. She already fulfilled her dream. She always wanted to become a loving mother and wife. Alexander and Alice didn't get all of her time in those years though they supported her.

"So you are telling that you want to take a break? Because of pregnancy?" Alexander asked Sapphire.

"Not only that. I want to give all of my time to you and my babies. I want to welcome you every day when you get back home. I want to make lunch boxes for you and Alice. I want to cook your favorite dishes." She responded.

Alexander looked at her and kissed her cheeks.

"You are not serious. Are you?" Alexander questioned.

"No, I am serious." Sapphire spoke.

"Whatever you wish but I am always with you." Alexander captured Sapphire's mouth in a kiss and began making love to her. Soon the room filled with their passionate breathing and noises.

After seven years of their marriage, Alexander felt the same attraction, madness and addiction for Sapphire. Rather, he felt that his feelings for her were intensifying. He couldn't imagine his life without her. He deeply loves her but sometimes regretted that what wrong he did to her.

Alexander's hand softly traced the bullet scar on Sapphire's left chest. Every day, he would expose her chest to kiss that scar. It was a reminder of how precious his woman was, how much she loved him. He was the luckiest man in the world to have her.

"Angel, have you forgiven me?" Alexander asked.

"Alexander, still you need an answer? Of course, I did and I love you." She replied.

"But how? I am a selfish mafia. How can you love me, angel?" Alexander queried.

"This big bad mafia healed the broken angel and gave her back the wings. He didn't know how he did but this angel fell for him." Sapphire stated smiling.

"Angel, I love you." Alexander captured her mouth in a soul soothing gentle kiss, pouring all his love and passion.

None of them ever thought they would come this far. He was a big badass mafia king and she was a broken girl. His obsession almost crushed the broken girl but he was the one to save her and shape her into the strongest woman. Her love brought out the loving man out of him. The mafia king and his broken angel; both found their salvation in each other.
