Tears won over laughter, and Eve suddenly couldn't stop crying again.
Thank You, God. Thank You.
Hunter could his chest tightening with defeat as he watched Eve's shoulders shake at the strength of her sobs.
He had lost her then. For good.
And so when she looked at him again, he could only brace himself for the worst—
"H-How—"
But instead, he found an impossible glimmer of hope.
"How do you know so much about God—"
I don't understand, God.
"—in so little time?"
But he knew he couldn't possibly dreaming this up...the moment he saw a teary smile wobble up to her lips.
She fell into his arms at the same moment he hauled her close, and it was heaven...
He knew this was God letting him feel how a fraction of heaven would feel, to have Evelline back in his arms, and knowing that this time...
"I love you," he said hoarsely.
This time, they would make it.
Epilogue
YOUR NOSIEST SOCIETYcolumnist is back! Did you miss me, my gossippy little lambs?
I do so hope you did because boy, do I have the freshest cup of tea to serve on this fine Saturday morning...
Well, maybe it's not so fine if you're one of the countless women in San Antonio who harbored ill-advised hopes of nabbing billionaire rancher Hunter Ferguson (and if you are, my deepest condolences).
I’m sorry ladies, but you have to remember a very important rule: home is where the heart is, and in his case, the heart was really close to home (you know what they say about keeping your loved ones within arm’s reach! *wink wink*)
Yes, our favorite silver-eyed rancher is officially marrying none other than his former stepsister Evelline Ramirez today.
And get this—she might become his stepsister again while also being his bride since their parents (June Ramirez and Boris Ferguson) have plans to remarry as well!
These rich people and their relationship carousels, I swear. Marry, don’t marry, then marry again. Couple, un-couple, re-couple. It’s enough to make this gossip columnist’s head spin!
But that’s not the only juicy tidbit about this power couple. Evelline Ramirez may sound familiar because her name was splashed across headlines a couple of months ago in that high-profile corporate espionage case.
I know it sounds sexy when we say it like that, but once you receive documents titled The People of Texas vs. Your Name Here? Yeah, not so sexy anymore, right?
And yes, that’s exactly what happened with our bride-to-be, but guess what? Billionaire former-stepbrother-turned-husband-to-be bought her old company, Thompson & Wright,de-classified everything, sicced the city’s top auditors on the books, and voilà.
Hidden truth revealed, and our former-stepsister-turned-wife-to-be’s name is now crystal clear. It’s now People ot Texas vs her former bosses (karma bites hard, ouch!).
And speaking of even more karma...
I’m sure we’re all familiar with dear Janelle Kemp, Hunter’s once-beloved cousin. Sadly, this one leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth, and that is saying a lot, for someone like moi.
But seriously, it’s just so not cool when blood turns against blood, you know?
