He was glad about that too. He’d met Reina’s parents that first night when they announced their engagement to them, and since then, he’d met them twice. They were genuinely good people, and he was grateful to them for giving Reina a stable upbringing. He’d even been introduced to Rajiv and Sheena’s adorable kids. His family was really growing.
Vedant gave her a sheepish look. “I also did a thing.”
Reina narrowed her eyes. “What thing?”
“There’s a small hospital close to our house here in Dubai, and I spoke to the director there. They have an opening for a general surgeon, if you think you’d be interested. I mean, I know it reeks of nepotism, and I also know you hate that. It’s not a very big hospital, but I know you love working?—”
Reina launched herself in his arms. “Thank you. That sounds perfect. I love it. I can’t wait to get back to work. For the longest time, I didn’t look for a job here in Dubai because it never felt like home, not until you returned here. You are my home, Vedant. I can work anywhere as long as you are by my side.”
He held her close. “I’m so happy to hear that. I can’t wait to be alone with you in London. I’m going to make love to you in every room and on every surface.”
She laughed. “I think your brothers won’t like us using their rooms that way.”
“Oh, well, except their rooms then.”
Reina kissed his smiling mouth. “I love you.”
“I love you too. Now, let’s go convince your parents that you’re going to return to London with me.”
He linked her hand with her left one, pausing to stare at the matching stone in their rings. Just last night, he’d gifted her the engagement ring she was wearing. Set on a platinum band with a five carat round blue diamond, it sat on a bed of smaller diamonds. Now they both had the same stone on their fingers, just like she’d wanted.
She looked at her ring. “You know, I just realised that I got my happy ending. Just like in those romance books I’ve been reading.”
He shook his head. “Not just a happy ending. A never ending. You and I will never end, Reina.”
“Never ever.” She gave him a brilliant smile.
Pulling her with him, Vedant led her out of the sports club and to his waiting car. He knew they had to face many challenges in the days ahead. It was going to take a while until they were fully safe, but that day would come soon. His brothers would ensure it. He’d ensure it. He’d found love, and he’d protect it with all he had.
That was all that mattered.
THE END
