Ex-Husband's Regret



"Definitely," he returns my smile just as Killian walks towards us.

"I'm here to steal my beautiful wife." His voice is raspy, and I can't help but melt at the timbre. It's just so darn

sexy.

"She's all yours." Calvin let's go of me and steps aside before walking away.

Killian pulls me into his arms, making sure that there is no space between us. "Are you okay? Is your back aching? Your legs?"

See what I told you? He's a shark as a lawyer but caring and loving as a spouse. I didn't even know I had a type until I met him.

"I'm okay, my love, quite worrying," I chuckle, pushing myself closer to him.

"Have I told you that I love you?" he asks.

I can't help but smile as I push myself on my tiptoes and whisper against his lips. "About a thousand times today, not that I am complaining."

"You are the best thing to ever happen to me, Emma. I can't imagine how my life would have been without you in it. I know we already said our vows, but I promise to always love and cherish you because you are my gift from above. I promise to be your sanctuary during a storm, to be your haven of peace and your source of unwavering support. I vow to love you unconditionally, to choose you every day from today till I take my last breath."

This time I can't help it nor can I stop it. My tears fall down my cheeks like twin rivers as his love fills and surrounds me.

"You are the love of my life, Killian, my sun, my moon, and all my stars. You are my favorite what-if turned reality. I promise to be your steady rhythm when life's song gets chaotic. I vow to be your soft place to land and your springboard to fly. I vow to love you with every beating of my heart and I vow to treasure every hour, every minute and every second with you till I take my last breath."

He leans down and captures my lips in a kiss that leaves me breathless even as happy shouts ring all around us. This is happiness, being in the arms of the man I love. The man who slowly seeped inside me and made his way to capture my heart. I never saw him coming, but I am happy nonetheless that he came.

"Would it be rude if we just left?" He whispers against my lips, his breath coming in fast as we both try to catch our breaths.

"Who cares?" I ask as he pulls me once again so that we are kissing.

I can't get enough of him. I can't get enough of his kisses.

We break apart and he grabs my hand. "Let's go."

I guess he has come to a decision. I smile as he pulls me away from the stage, his face a mask of determination as we head for the exit.

Almost everyone has a smirk on their lips, but who cares if they know why we are leaving early? I don't. In fact, we should have done this hours ago.

I look at my husband as I follow behind, joy and happiness mixing inside me in a bubble that threatens to burst.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I thank God every day that our paths crossed and joined to become one because Killian is everything I dreamed of and everything I never even knew I needed.

I love him with everything I am, and I am grateful that everything that I went through led me here. It led me to him.
