When Rhiannon woke up and found herself at a ward and saw both Mary and Yadira sleeping on the couch, she was shocked as she couldn’t understand how she had survived.
She had witnessed how crazy Cecily was and didn’t believe that the poison dosage as little as she had felt her organs starting to fail her.
She coughed waking the women.
“Sister, you are awake?” Yadira asked happily while Mary poured some water into a glass and handed her to drink.
After drinking, Rhiannon felt that her throat wasn’t as hoarse as before.
“What happened? How am I still alive?” she asked looking at the two waiting for them to explain what had happened as she had been involved in a car accident.
Yadira and Mary told her everything that had happened in the hospital and also the news about the organization being completely wiped out by her father. She was shocked to hear that.
“Guess we should have included her from the beginning then. We would have suffered a lot of energy,” Rhiannon said causing the two to chuckle.
After a while her family walked in one by one and they surrounded her talking to her.
The king was shocked when he saw the latter and immediately knew that Ernest wasn’t exaggerating when saying that both Yadira and Rhiannon resembled each other.
“My child, you have suffered so much,” he said as his eyes were filled with tears.
“Rhiannon Sanders greets his majesty,” Rhiannon said with her head lowered.
Although she couldn’t stand up and kneel to show her respect, she still did what she could do.
“Oh child, you are my daughter and there is no need to greet me like that! You are Princess Rhiannon Brooks not just Rhiannon Sanders,” the king said as he patted her head but tears covered Rhiannon’s eyes too.
She remembered when she had always wished that she would receive fatherly love but it was only Kaylee who always managed to get it. Now, her biological father was present and he was showering her with love as she could feel it.
“Thank you,” she said.
The family talked after the elders left and before they knew it, it was already dark outside.
They bid Rhiannon a goodnight forcing her to rest as the latter was reluctant feeling that everything was a dream since she had thought she was going to die. After a while, it was decided that both Yadira and Mary would accompany her making her feel relieved while the men went to the emergency room after forcing the hospital to give them a ward to sleep claiming that they were weak due to a loss of blood making them speechless.
The next day.
Immediately Rhiannon woke up, she saw her eldest brother's face shocking her. She rubbed her eyes as she thought she was dreaming only to realise that it was reality.
“What is it?” Gustavo asked her with a smile on his face.
“You are back?” Rhiannon asked in uncertainty.
“Yeah. Got back yesterday late at night. You were already sleeping,” Gustavo said making her nod her head.
He then walked to the table and placed a tray in front of her so that she could start eating her breakfast as she had medicines to take.
“Have you met up with father?” she asked after a while.
“Yeah. We talked about a lot of things yesterday causing us to sleep very late,” Gustavo answered with a smile as he could tell what she was afraid of.
“The mission was successful and those countries are grateful to us. The teams from other countries were of help to us and later the fourth royal brother joined us making the chances of us winning increase. Then…” He halted when he saw the confused look on Rhiannon.
“Fourth brother? Wasn’t he here all the time?” she asked causing him to chuckle.
“Well, I am older than Ernest, am now the Second royal prince, him third and the third fourth,” he explained and Rhiannon nodded in understanding.
“I know, father later sent people to help you defeat the opponent then you came back home immediately,” she completed what he wanted to say.
“Yeah. Now that you are awake and have had breakfast, there is someone who came very early and wants to see you,” Gustavo said and Rhiannon stared at him waiting for him to tell her who it was.
“Your husband. His family and he were here yesterday but were chased away by royal father when he found out that Cecily got to know you because of your photos at their house and your husband’s office,” Gustavo said making Rhiannon sigh.
She had thought of how she would meet Octavius again but never had she thought it would be like this. She felt embarrassed but knew that there wasn’t anything she could do.
“I will go and tell him to come in,” Gustavo said shocking Rhiannon as she had not expected him to decide for her.
Before she got a chance to say anything, the door was opened and Octavius walked in.
‘Hae,” he asked her with a smile and she nodded her head not sure what to say.
“I am sorry. It's my fault that you are here. If only I resisted grandfather so much. Cecily wouldn’t have recognized you,” Octavius apologized as he thought Rhiannon was angry.
‘It's okay,” she replied after a while.
“I am so sorry. If I only admitted how I felt for you that day, none of what happened would have happened,” Octavius said shocking Rhiannon.
“What did you say?” she asked in disbelief and Octavius looked at her in confusion before he understood what was going on.
“I love you, Rhiannon. I love you so much and I want you to be my wife,” he said nervously.
Rhiannon stared at him for a while before reaching out and holding his hand.
“I love you too Octavius so much. And yes, I want to continue being your wife,” Rhiannon said with a reassuring smile making Octavius relieved.
“Well, I know you already are but I want us to get married again. Let’s get married after you recover and then get kids as we don’t have other enemies coming after us,” he said making her nod her head.
“Okay,” she said with a smile before they sealed with a kiss.
Two years later.
Rhiannon stared at their wedding portrait and their daughter who was sleeping softly in her crib and smiled. Happy that they had finally gotten their peace and happiness.
THE END!!!
