While Xavier was regretting his life choices, I was in Paris,, finalizing a location for opening our new brand showroom when my secretary cleared his throat with a smile.
“Madam, let us do this much work, you have already done everything”
“Ah no. I can do this much wait w who is that?” I was going to argue for more work when I saw the visage of the man who had been occupying my thoughts all moming and night strolling through the office gandens looking at the window with a black mask on his face. My heart fluttered and without another word, I rushed out in the office garden with a big smile.
“Killian!” I laughed happily shouting his name in disbelief that he would come here after just going through a rigorous meeting.
My husband didn’t say a word and instead just opened his arms wide open for me to run into them.
The world melted away at that moment and the long tiring week of Paris fashion week filled with flashing lights and models with tedious amounts of work all vanished. It was just Killian and me X
“Weren’t you supposed to be in Italy today? What about the success party of your company?!” Lasked softly, still in Killian’s warm embrace, for he refused to let me go..X
“What party? My secretary will attend on my behalf. I am just married and cannot live without my wife..”
He kissed the top of my head sweetly drawing gasps from the workers in the office who watched us attentively.
“God, I want a love like that tool”
I
“See, didn’t I tell you they were perfect! If this goes we don’t need models for our shoot, they are just perfect for the commercial!” The office workers gossiped
“Baby, this time we were apart for a month, I have brought this as an apology gift. Killian said with a little smile before presenting a small velvet box with an infinity sign.
“What is this?” I asked, smiling gently before opening it only to realise it was a small necklace pendant with a blue sapphire.!!
My childhood token.
Given to me by my dead grandmother that I had sold after being so miserable and helpless for getting money for Xavier’s business.
To see it now when I almost lost all hopes made me feel like it was a dream, without another word I clutched Killian and cried.
“I know you missed it baby” he said cupping my cheeks and gently swiping the tears dribbling down my eyes.
He never gave me things just to impress me. Every gift meant something. Every gesture came from knowing me, really knowing me.!!
It was at this heartfelt moment that a professional photographer from our firm recorded our video and clicked beautiful photos.
“Madam Ana and Mr.Gray are so perfect that no model will be able to top this. We will launch our designs with them as inspiration,”
Later, that photo would become the cover of a major jewelry campaign, the perfect moment, the perfect couple
When we flew back to Italy at our home that very evening, I saw a dress lying on the bed.
Not just any dress, it was the one I was awed by at the Paris fashion week some days ago. I hadn’t even said I wanted it.
But he remembered.
He always did.”
Killian walked in a moment later with a plate of freshly made pancakes for carved them badly.X
“It looked like it was made for you”
I shook my head in disbelief. “I didn’t even say anything.”
“You looked at it Twice.”
That was Killian
He noticed the things I didn’t say out loud. He know I loved to cook and thus he diligently tried to leam so that he could cook for me too.X
I laughed eating a bite of the pancake before bile rose my throat and I rushed to the washroom with Killian calling the maids and rushing
after me
“Baby are you okay?” The man who was not afraid of anything looked terrified at this moment yet the old maid beside him was more pleased than ever.
en at Killian.
“Madam, if you won’t mind me asking, when was your last period?” My eyes widened as I looked at her and then at
“T Two months ago
“Madam then can it be that you are pregnant?“))
