Epilogue

Six Months Later

The violin music began to play, as the doors of the church opened wide indicating the arrival of the most awaited person. My eyes settled on the entrance, as I stood on the little podium, decked up in a black tuxedo. Nervousness palpable from my stiff features while the two people standing beside me, gave me stunning looks as they have never expected in their entire life to see me shiver this much.

My eyes went to a tiny bundle of joy, who was dressed in a similar tuxedo as mine, but contrary to my wrecked body, his was beaming in ecstasy.

And how won't it? After all, it was his parent's much-awaited wedding. The biggest wedding in New York City.

The hype of which was created six months back, when we were spotted coming to the Paris airport together. Thus, we waited for the news to cool down a bit, because it was tiring enough to meet a mob of people at every single place we visited when we wanted to have quality time with the other.

Moreover, I felt that I should be fully assured of my issues being treated off for better so that nothing sways me away from being a better husband for my Serena.

I didn't bat my lashes from the entrance as Alina and Jessalyn, the two bridesmaids walked in decked up in purple off-shoulder gowns, with Lilly bouquets in their hands.

My eyes went behind them, as Serena finally appeared with John beside her who was officially giving her away to me. Over the months, I and John have bonded like brothers, while he considered Serena his younger sister. Hence, when he asked Serena that can he walk her down the aisle, our happiness knew no bounds.

My breath hitched as I took in her appearance. She was dressed up to the nines; or more appropriately she was dressed impeccably, that will even stop a clock.

That white gown, with a long floral veil, just suited her white flawless skin just pitch-perfect. She had a silver necklace wrapped around her curvy neck while her engagement ring rested perfectly on her long fingers.

The thought of her wearing the wedding ring, which I have purchased just last night, was exciting to me.

"Sir, you should close your mouth or flies will enter". Max who was my only best man teased and I side glared at him. Jenna who stood beside him chuckled and I quickly closed my mouth. I shifted my gaze from Serena to the front, where John's wife, Amanda was suppressing her laughter.

I gave her a fake smile, once again shifting my eyes, to my love who was about to step on the podium.

I forwarded my hand towards her, as John securely kept her hand in mine.

"All yours dude!" I winked at his line, helping Serena to climb up. Her cheeks were red while I didn't miss the glow in her eyes. It has been the same way for the last few months, and I am sure it will reach the power of infinity when tonight finally I will make love to her as her husband.

Of course, when we united I warned her about making her mine, but that wasn't the case in reality. We decided to wait till the wedding before taking the next step. Reason of course being that we wanted to have a strong relationship than before when we became one soul.

The pastor began the ceremony reciting the holy hymns, while I waited desperately to claim my girl.

"Do you have your vows, Mr. Price?" I nodded and took a deep breath, I looked straight into my Love's eyes, for affirmation to proceed. She gave me her light smile and taking her hand in mine, I pressed a kiss on her knuckle.

"I Daniel Jose Price, takes you Serena as my legally wedded wife for the time to come. I hereby, promise you amongst these thousands of people who are the witness of our Union that, till I breath last, I will be yours. You came like a blessing from that Jesus to light up my world and I assure you that, I won't let your efforts go in vain. You have made a human again who can feel the emotions, and express his love and thoughts freely, thus I want to promise you my lifetime trust, loyalty, and companionship. I shall, make sure that your eyes never shed the tears of pain, but only happiness; but I will be glad if you never cry only but since I know it's hard for any girl to not shed tears of happiness, so I will let it pass away. But I will make sure that your beautiful smile never leaves your Rosy lips. And at last, I promise to stand by your side through thick and thin. From today onwards, you will never find yourself alone, I will stand beside, behind you, infront of you like a rock to shield you from every trouble. I love you, Mrs. Serena Price".

Every eye was shedding the tears of our love, our compassion for the other while my darling's face was pale like she just wanted to crawl up on the bed and cry her lungs out in my arms. I knew I went totally crazy in making the vows, but hell I don't have words to express my gratitude to her.

Since I literally left my baby speechless, so she asked the pastor to allow her to read the vows from the book, but her thoughts of sincerity and love counted there. With the dept with which she sealed our love, was present in her eyes. And I don't think I want anything else.

We said our I do's no sooner exchanging the rings, and before the pastor could allow us to kiss, we already found each other's lips being molded together. A huge round of applause and cheers filled in the room, but we were too lost in our own world of infinite love. I just wanted to kiss her every inch and hold her in my arms for eternity.

But we weren't allowed to. leave just yet, we have a reception to attend which was organized in the Price Inn's biggest banquet hall. The preparation was done by my staff along with the Cavelli family, and of course, Serena's friends and Nathan helped them.

We travelled in silence to the reception venue, simply stealing glances at the other, but no sooner in the party hall, the mood went crazy and fun. We together mingled with our guests and celebrated the evening with the cake cutting ceremony, as well as our first dance which was on the soft piano music as chosen by Serena.

The evening was about to end when the most unexpected person walked in. Mrs. Rodriguez!

Serena squeezed my hand in assurance, while the woman walked towards us with a creepy look.

"What are you doing here?" Serena inquired her in the Stern tone. I knew either she will kill this woman today or tomorrow's newspaper headlines will be something like: Serena Daniel Price very cleverly slaughters Mrs. Rodriguez through her sarcastic remarks!"

"I came to see whether he has left you Ali...," Serena grabbed her elbow and took her in a corner away from the public. I followed them because I didn't want her to manage the mess alone.

"Mrs. Rodriguez, first point: Don't mess with my husband because I won't tolerate it. Second Point: Whether I am alive or not, it doesn't concern you because you discarded me the moment I was born and after that you didn't even cared to see, whether I was being treated right or not. So, don't try to become my mother now, because I don't need it. Third and most important point: - Before accusing someone else for the sins your own daughter has committed, please go in the details. Because next time I won't give you a chance to bitch, but straight away will call the rehab people to come and take you, so that your mad mind could be treated well. I guess you heard enough, so scram away from here because I don't want unwanted people in my wedding reception."

My eyes literally popped out of my sockets while the woman in front of me looked like, she saw a ghost.

Serena gave her a devilish look which was like a warning, that if she didn't leave then she won't mind throwing her out. Giving me a disgusted look, the old woman walked away muttering curses.

I pulled Serena in a side hug, kissing her temples.

"You okay, love?"

"I am awesome after blasting her. Was waiting since months now". I chuckled at her reply as she stroked my chest, as we watched the happy atmosphere around the room. Thank God, no one witnessed the drama.

Finally, at 10 in the night, we were left alone in the car which was taking us to our apartment. Nathan was staying with Jenna Tonight because according to her, I needed more Price heirs, to be running around and for that too, happen we need privacy.

I rolled my eyes at her suggestion but anyways, allowed them to do as per their wish.

The car was speeding up towards the apartment when Serena screeched loudly shocking me.

"Stop!"

"Huh, what Happened?" I asked as the driver halted the car suddenly near the Brooklyn Bridge.

"Let's go on the bridge". She got down the car, while I followed her league. Definitely, her crazy mind was up to something. Save me, God.

"Darling, aren't you feeling tired in that heavy dress? Don't you want to get out of it?" I asked trying to interpret her mind a little, but the woman gave me an annoyed look. Seriously, what is her problem? I am only thinking about her.

OH really, Price!! *Subconscious sarcasm at peaks*

I walked behind her on the bridge as she was walking like she has to solve some mystery. But I sense trouble here.

"Serena, tell me at least, why are we here? I am not getting good vibes here. Please let's just go". I said behind her as she continued to walk.

"You are still that lame man whom I met here it seems". I glared at her back and jogging after her, I grabbed her through her waist, pulling her towards myself.

She was taken aback by my sudden action.

"What's the deal with you?" She batted her eyelashes sweetly at me, as something began to stir deep in my belly.

"Let's fight like our first time!"

"What???" I don't think anyone would have ever screamed, louder than what I have done now. Fight! On the wedding night. Has she gone insane?

"Serena, tell me seriously, on which border did your leave your screws the last time you remember?" I inquired dreading her answer. Her eyes which were till now soft became dark with fury, and rage. Her nose was flaring making it puff like chicken wings, while smoke was coming out from her ears.

Yeah, might have had too much red chili powder.

"You wolf!" She pounced on me in the same way, like she did that night, but the difference was today I was madly in love with her plus she was my legal new wife. But guess, we were recipients of an old love story, so my wedding night was bound to shine in Mrs. Price's hilarious style.

"Damn! Woman, have mercy on your husband!" I yelped as she was pulling my hair out. My poor scalp was being slaughtered for the second time in life. RIP Scalp! May you find a nice grave to settle in.

"How dare you say that my screws are lost? What makes you believe that yours are on the right place?" We were going around in circles, as her grip on my hair was tightening with every second. I was trying to get rid of her, but this Crocodile eater!

Fuck! She is stronger than a hippo. Women and strength go hand in hand. Whether physical or mental, they can show you stars anytime.

"What was I supposed to ask if you will ask to fight that too on our wedding night?" I retorted, trying to find the right words with my heavy breathing.

"Husband's even try to bring the world down at their wives’ feet, and look at you? You can't even fulfil my one wish. How mean! Why did you made me fall in love with an idiot, Jesus?" She cried and I bet on my future kids, it's all melodrama.

But damn my hairs. Someone rescue me, please.

I tried once again to pry her hands again, but when she didn't budge, I grabbed her waist tightly, pulling her closer; before she can use her smart mouth more, I crashed my lips on hers turning the entire situation to my benefit. Her fingers which have been gripping my hairs till now started to loosen as I pinched her waist.

She started to reciprocate my kiss in the same passion and fervour with which I was moving my lips against hers. The several minty sensations that lurked inside my belly were crawling up in my entire body, and I was sure that if we weren't in a public place, I would have stripped her out right there and then.

I bit her bottom lip, making her gasp. I was about to slip my tongue inside her mouth when we both heard a firing behind us.

Shocked we pulled away, to come face to face with the same inspector, who arrested us two and a half years back on this same place. He was glaring at us, while we both scooted closer to each other.

From my peripheral vision, I glared at Serena who was biting her lip in embarrassment. Serves her right.

"You two again that too on your wedding day?" The inspector posed his query pointing an index finger at us. I took a step forward, to explain to him but seeing his dark military eyes and mustache, I didn't dare to open my silky chocolate mouth. Of course, in front of this police guy, I don't hold a chance no matter how much I work out.

So silky chocolate. Suits my personality. I wonder, what will Serena think about this name?

"You both need to come with me. I was informed about you two fighting. Don't you guys know that you shouldn't be here late in night especially when you have just got married?" He started to chide us like we were two-year-old kids.

Seriously, Late in the night! 10:15 is late, since when?

I rubbed my ears giving him a pique look.

"Yeah, inspector we shouldn't fight. But now that, we have done I don't mind going to the prison. Because I don't support breaking rules. Please take us". Serena butt in before I can explain the man anything, and I just got a heart attack by my wife.

What the fuck is this woman up to?

My once Ferris wheel turned eyes squinted at first taking in her bridal view, but then they opened so wide that I felt like my wheel, no scratch that my eyes will blast anytime.

"That's like a true civilian".

"What?" I only managed to yell, as the inspector handcuffed us, and we followed him. Yeah, we are newly married prisoners, people. All thanks to my stupid wife.

Serena kept on nudging me throughout the drive to the station, while I ignored her too mad to even look at her face.

She just ruined my wedding night plans, and then she has the gall to pipe in those sexy look of hers at me like I was going to melt.

No sooner, we both found ourselves in the same prison in which we were thrown last time, and if that wasn't enough then, the person who was present opposite to us was also there. Seems, like he did some blunder again.

"Hey, man. What's up?" Serena initiated a conversation with the same man, who was gawking at her like a hawk. The hell I will let him check out my wife.

I shielded her behind me, giving a murderous look to the guy opposite me, who was raising his brows like he was finding it entertaining that a new married couple was having their wedding night in the prison.

"Why are you standing in front of me like a rock? Move back, silly idiot".

"Shut up, Serena Price. Already you have ruined our wedding night by your smart mouth, now don't make me ruin our rest of lives by murdering you?" I warned her turning around and she gave me a look, which said that She so didn't believe my words.

"Do you realize what you have done?" I showed her my index finger, as she sat down on the bench, settling her heavy dress properly. The nerve of this Blueberry Muffin Thief.

She stared at me sweetly, then battling her long lashes, she pursed her lips in a pout, and if my heart wasn't fluttering already, then it would have fallen off the ribcage with that sexy kiss she gave me from afar which was much more intoxicating than the ones, one share physically.

Damn her effect on my traitorous body.

"You can sit down, husband. But not beside me, but on the floor. You see, my dress needs space too".

Someone, please give me duct tape, so that I can seal her mouth forever. But no, that will be too easy. I will punish her in my style.

"Of course, darling. How can your husband see you in any kind of trouble?" I took seductive steps towards her. My lips twitched from one side to another, in a smirk that might just reveal my true intentions to her. Intention, to get her arrested in my arms for a lifetime. Intentions to drive her insane by the intensity of my sexy mouth on hers and intentions, to claim her right this moment, even if it meant making this boring prison, as a full-fledged romantic room with our strenuous activity of lovemaking.

But I wasn't making it easy. She will plead to be let out of this place because she will want to be on our bed now.

Her eyes were fixated on me, as she studied my features keenly, deciphering every single corner of the thoughts that were going on in my mind.

My brows knitted together, as I approached her, of course, I was full of confidence, but I wanted to catch her off guard. And in few seconds sensing no movements from me, she was perplexed by my blank face. Taking that very second, with a swift move, I pulled her towards my body, and with two large steps, I pinned her to the nearby dark corner wall that didn't have any hint of light.

I took her arms and wrapped them. around my neck, claiming her lips in a jiffy. At first, she was trying to grasp my actions, but then she kissed me back like no one else would have ever had. Our previous kisses were passionate and wishful but this one crossed all the levels of intensity. It was the mother of all kisses because it showed our longing for the other in all right ways.

I didn't know that one kiss can also give you the satisfaction of full-fledge lovemaking round, but this kiss did wonders. It was more satisfactory than the entire process can be.

We sucked, we licked, we bit each other's lips without a care of the world. Her fingers gripped my hair while I squeezed her tiny waist. Of course, her dress was a big hindrance but who cares?

I was so engrossed in kissing her, that the sound of click once didn't cease to gain my attention, because I thought it to be my hallucination, but then the second click sound made me realize that something happened here.

With a jolt, I pulled back, and my jaw dropped on that dirty and nasty floor.

She repeated the blunder again. She repeated history again. She clicked our photo again when we were lost in our passion.

OH No!

"OH Yes!" She flashed her phone in front of my eyes, squealing with laughter while I shot her a glare. Ignoring me, she sat down on the bench and started to do something on her phone. I would have muttered all the worldwide curses at her at that moment, but that piece of the mad head didn't care.

"Yayy. I won. I won. Muahhhhhhh, hubby. You made your wife win the bet again!" She danced in her sitting position. My eyes were rolling impatiently, as I felt banging my head on the wall.

Now, what bet?

I want to cry.

Why did you do this to me, Holy Jesus? What wrong did I do?

I scoffed, scowled, and rambled in my mind as much as I can while that mad head was having the time of her life, and that stupid phone of hers was buzzing with notifications.

Now I felt like replaying her actions in my head from the last time. We were lost in our kiss, and then she clicked the picture through her cell. Today her phone was in my jacket pocket, which means, all that sexy torture on my lips was for this nasty bet.

Arghh!!

Huffing, I sat beside her crossing my arms over my chest, and she forwarded her phone towards me.

What the crap?

She posted our picture on her Instagram profile; with a caption:- The first-ever couple to share their wedding night in the prison, like their first kiss. 💓💕❤

I won bitches@i-am-Alina @Jessy-It-Is

The bloody bet of these crazy heads.

And if that wasn't enough to leave my mind with an ache, then this godamn woman had got 890 likes, and 345 comments in a matter of ten minutes.

What the Fuck? Was entire America sitting on Instagram in the middle of the night?

"See, how popular we are honey!" She chirped excitedly, and I felt like giving two tight slaps; of course, not to her, but myself for choosing this Dangerous species to fall in love and even marry.

Even Satan will be less hyperactive than her.

"Fuck you, Price!" I cribbed while Serena started to laugh like she heard a joke.

"What?"

"You can't fuck yourself, honey. That's simply impossible when you have me." She explained smiling and there, I found myself losing in her eyes, her breath-taking smile.

I tugged her hair strands behind her ear, while she took hold of my hand, planting a chaste kiss on my palm. My anger melted right there and then, as she snuggled closer to me. I tightened my arms around her, as she played with the buttons of my jacket.

"I know I do lot of crazy and unbelievable stuff, but it's for you. Because I want you to enjoy your life, like all of us do. For years, you only made painful memories, so now with our new beginning, I wanted you to have a crazy and rocking start that you will remember forever. But still I am sorry for spoiling our night".

Her sudden confession took my heart away, as a deep sense of affection, and warmth coaxed into my system. Can anyone love me more than this? More than me, this girl had suffered since she was a child but here she always did things for me and for my happiness.

Can I get luckier than this?

"I love you so much, Serena!"

"I love you too, Daniel".

And sitting in each other's arms, we watched the stars twinkling from the small ceiling window, assuming it to be my parent's and siblings' blessings on us.

My plans for my wedding night were of course put to a halt, but I don't think I would have enjoyed on the bed more than I was enjoying having her in my arms, sitting on a small bench; with nowhere to go.

Because I have realized that sex isn't the world in a relationship, it's the heart and feelings that count, and nothing can be more blissful than having Serena's love.

Isn't it so?
