Chapter 21

Epilogue

"Be patient married lady" July teases with a nervous laugh.

"I have some news for you" Rachael pauses gradually making July's anxiety to rise drastically.

"I'm pregnant" Rachael said impulsively rubbing her stomach lovingly.

The marital life of others has settled but July seems unsettled. Few days later July visits Damien but met his absence thus she while away time by playing with Roxy and taking care of his supper.

July visits pregnant Rachael who is now the manager of Tony's café, she check and counter balance the records perfectly before sparing out time to discuss with July.

They sit on the empty seats at the reserved spot discussing randomly different topics as July occasionally complains of her unprogressive pet clinic.

For the first time after so many month or should we say months, July finally cross path with Michael Talman.

Michael walks into the café confidently with smiling Pamela.

"July...?" Michael calls politely with an astonish gazes as he approaches July and Rachael alongside Pamela.

Michael courageously introduces Pamela as his girlfriend to them, they exchange friendly pleasantries.

July who feels "must have missed out a lot in Michael's life" asks him tons of questions which he answers righteously without any flaws, one could easily tell he still has feelings for July.

While July mingles and visit offices concerning her novels, Damien was eating himself up in publishing and promoting July's pet clinic.

Damien sent his employees to distribute flyers to different individuals in the city while he promotes her pet clinic online discussing it prominently with his rich contacts.

Rose didn't step aside in July's business as she also joins her brother in advertising July's pet clinic to her friends and on her social media accounts while July and Rachael's hope towards the pet clinic were fading away.

One starry evening July and Rachael highlights from the designated cab walking towards the pet clinic when they pause speechlessly at a distance staring at the clinic entrance in great astonishment and shock.

"Julie, pinch me" Rachael commands absentmindedly in disbelief as unconscious July pinches her arm strongly.

"Arg!" Rachael squeals in pain facing July speechlessly with a remorseful grin.

"Is it crowd I see?" July asks sarcastically while Rachael nods her head sheepishly in responds.

The customers of about seventy five (75) line up orderly waiting patiently for direction from July. She made no effort, she is about giving up on her clinic, how did this happen? July wonders in astonishment as she treats the severely ill pets while some book an appointment for the next day with Rachael at the other edge of the counter.

"Our baby is back to life" Rachael teases excitedly falling slowly unto the chair while July yawns tirelessly on the counter facing Rachael.

For the night, July treated and attended to twenty (20) customers with thirty(30) pets who doubled the pay of their actual bill while Rachael book an appointment for fifty five (55) customers.

To celebrate their success, July and Rachael close the pet clinic and walks out of the building heading out to the club.

The next couple of weekend, July move out of her apartment into the huge estate of her father with the idea of cutting costs and expenses.

Sarah and Thompson were so happy to welcome back their daughter, they discuss till down as July informs them of her plights both the past and the goodies tomorrow is currently blessing her with.

Sarah apologizes for her past wrong advises while Thompson encourages the family to never separate during perilous seasons, coming back home to live with her parents is also a good experience for her as she missed the pleasant and delicious cooking of her mother.

"Mind the way you drink and randomly talk on the street with July"

"You are now a married woman" Tony scolds Rachael cautiously in the car while driving gradually.

"Before I met you, July has always been in my life"

"Don't try to ruin our friendship" Rachael snorts politely in an annoying tone while she faces the window.

Tony smiles sadly as he stretches his hand caressing Rachael's shoulder softly.

"I don't mean that baby, I just want to make sure you and the baby are alright" Tony said politely with a tough smile and she faces his direction with a small beam.

"I will be alright babe, July poses no threat to my life" Rachael assures with a toothy mischievous smile, Tony smirks nervously facing the road slightly.

"How many months is the baby?" Tony asks anxiously as his hand goes to Rachael's stomach, he caresses her stomach lovingly and she smiles.

Rose walks into the family mansion with confident strides dressed on a cooperate suit and gracious heels, she walks over to the spacious living room and surprisingly sees Diana sitting on the soft armchair with her long leg crossed on the other, she scoffs annoyingly as she takes her sit meticulously.

"What are you doing here Miss Diana?" Rose asks cryptically rolling her eyes in dissatisfaction.

"I'm here for Damien" Diana snorts vividly crossing her arms courageously, Rose laughs mockingly to the one that fits.

"It seems Miss latest news is poorly informed recently" Rose said apathetically with her hands clasped together in disbelief, Diana sighs annoyingly flapping her two long eye lashes quickly.

"My brother is already in a relationship with July and my parents love her so much"

"They are hell in support of it" Rose informs lovingly obviously trying to piss Diana off.

"That poor brat...? Impossible" Diana snorts rolling her eye angrily.

"Check your social media account for more information" Rose informs mockingly leaving the living room and Diana staggers annoyingly while standing up from the armchair, she storms out of the mansion angrily.

Blindfolded July walks cautiously on the soggy beach sandy soil holding the hands of Damien confidently, he smirks in admiration at every stagger she makes when moving.

"Are we there already?" July asks anxiously chuckling nervously.

"Patient lady" Damien responds lovingly stopping her at a spot thus she exhales in relief yearning to see her location and his surprise.

The starry night making the beach more beautiful as the water glitters to the reflection of the full moon.

"Will you marry me?" flashes on the sandy soil close to where July stands blinking lights display the text graciously as July steps backward shinning her eyes in admiration, astonishment and happiness.

"This is so beautiful" July squeals meticulously closing her mouth with her palms gradually, she faces Damien lovingly and he slowly knee on the ground pulling out a small box from his side suite pocket.

"This is surreal" July slowly step backward in astonishment and anxiety as Damien gradually opens the small luxurious box revealing a perfect sparklingly diamond ring.

"Please.... Marry me" Damien said politely in a flirtatious manner and tone.

"I would never reject you for anything"

"Yes" July said impatiently stretching out her hand for him to insert the ring on the right finger.

Damien slides the ring smoothly into her thin middle finger and the ring suits perfectly.

The ring was designed and customized specially for July thus it exist only on her finger, July admires the ring happily as she embraces Damien tightly.

Damien smiles happily caressing her back softly, July couldn't contend the massive joy in her heart.

The week roll gradually as July still finds it hard to believe that she is a celebrity in Rollan city, different people greets her courteously while some pay her bills either the fares of meals.

July sits on the street bench two blocks away from her pet clinic, she opens the Wattpad application on her phone. To her surprise, an orange positive check mark and an orange star mark shows clearly closer to her username which means she is now a verified Wattpad user and a Wattpad star.

July proceeds into checking her follows.

"10 million..." July mutters surprisingly to herself in a low tone stammering helplessly.

The comments becomes too much for her to reply, her conversation feed were bustling with loving and encouraging messages from fans, the votes on her novels were promising.

"I feel like crying right now"

"This is surreal"

"Are these my goodies?"

"Why is my tomorrow so fruitful?"

"I never pictured it to be this wonderful" July mutters impulsively to herself while pressing her phone softly to her chest, immediately the phone rings loudly disrupting her emotional moment.



Leaving group in the hands of Rose is more like casting it away to young adult (10-14), Rose didn't pay attention to pressing paperwork neither does she attend the daily business meetings. The board members, staffs and investors had to call in the attention of Mr. Victor Gerber to see to their critical issue thus Mr. Victor had to plea with Damien to step in.

Damien returns to G groups as the new chief executive officer (CEO) and everything went back to normal, in one week he was able to settle out the paperwork and pay off outstanding debts of Rose.

Damien stabilizes the company back to normal and also continues promoting July's clinic and novels without her consent.

July informs her parents of her fabulous engagement with a handsome billionaire thus they anticipate on Damien's arrival via giving July the permission to invite him over.

Meanwhile, Rachael's stomach has grown all big which makes her stay at home watching her health. July visits Rachael at Tony's resident, they tease and mock each other lovingly, discuss about tomorrow (their future) and July spill the news of her engagement with Damien.

"Oh my goodness!" Rachael exclaims surprisingly with her eyes wide open in demonstration while blushes flusters on the cheeks of July.

July discuss and did some minor chores for Rachael, later in the midday she leaves to the pet clinic since she has an appointment with rich customers.

"This is the pet clinic used by the Gerbers, of course I will use it too"

"No wonder Damien's pet looks so loving"

"Since Damien and Rose loves here, I will treat my pet here everyday"

The rich ladies discuss confidently in a loud tone between each other while July listens slightly.

"Damien" July mutters softly to herself in a low tone while checking the health of a little pet. She couldn't believe that upon his busy schedules, he still takes out time to promote her pet clinic.

This is unlike the arrogant "him", doesn't he feel embarrassed? She though because judging by the rich people's ideology, they feel owning a clinic is too poor and would ruin their reputation.

Damien being the gentle man he honored the invitation of Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Sarah Thompson.

The door bell rings loudly as impatient July hurriedly opens the door with a wide smile.

"Damien" July calls lovingly in a low tone as they embrace each other tightly, July ushers him sheepishly into the large beautiful neat and spacious living room where Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Sarah Thompson are already sitting patiently waiting for him in anticipation.

Immediately Damien walks into the living room Mr. Thompson stands up abruptly from the soft armchair while Damien pauses surprisingly at a distance, July and Mrs. Sarah stare at them in confusion and curiosity.

"What are you doing here?" Mr. Thompson asks nervously with sadden facial expression taking his sit gradually.

July rushes over to speechless Damien holding his arm softly with a bright smile.

"This is my fiancé"

"Damien V. Gerber" July replies cowardly with a wide sassy smile as Mrs. Sarah gradually stands up from the armchair looking all tense and surprise.

"What's wrong?" July asks politely while staring at Damien and her parents anxiously.

"Doesn't the name 'Gerber' sound familiar...?" Sarah asks apathetically with an annoying stare, July slowly faces Damien meticulously.

"They accused your father of being a thief, framed him and fired him shamefully" Sarah informs cryptically pointing at speechless Damien.

"I'm sorry if that caused you a lot"

"But it was the action of the board members"

"Please forgive us"

Damien pleas confidently with his hand tuck into his trouser pocket and Thompson smirks mockingly.

"Dad" July calls softly curving her beautiful eyes pitifully, Sarah rolls her eyes annoyingly.

"Damien must have made a mistake in the past but then... I love him" July explains lovingly to her adamant parents.

"Please let go off the past and focus on tomorrow" July pleas sadly approaching her parents on the armchair, Thompson clears his throat.

"Mr. Damien, please leave"

"Our daughter isn't getting married to you" Thompson said vividly leaving the living room angrily, July tries to plea with her mother but Sarah rolls her eyes angrily and leave with her husband.

"I'm so sorry Dammy" July approaches Damien sadly staring deeply into his sad eyes pitifully, Damien embraces her softly while nodding his head slowly.

"It's okay baby"

"Let's give them some time to accept the present situation" Damien whispers lovingly to her ear, she closes her eyes slowly nodding her head sheepishly.

Rachael had early cramp thus she delivered her baby in seven months and the baby was put into the incubator, July visits Rachael later in the hospital with Tony. She comforted and cheers her up while discussing Rachael and Tony concluded on naming the child "Avery".

Avery was welcomed into the family as July automatically turns to her Godmother, it was a blissful evening for them all.

The doctor instructed that Rachael and the baby should stay in the hospital for couple of days thus July leaves the hospital happily with Tony who keeps smiling helplessly.

Damien sends countless of apology letters to Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Sarah Thompson but his plea and wishes were declined rudely, he didn't stop sending neither did his feeling for July deteriorate.

July enjoys undying wealth and joy as she becomes a famous author and novelist and also the pet clinic stabilizes becoming popular in the city.

Though they are both happy going out on dates but they still have the last undying wish which was they yearn for.

July confidently walks into the G group coming in beautiful chiffon top, a long black skirt and sparkling heels. She ignores the receptionist heading courageously to the elevator when the receptionist excuses her politely.

"You can't see the CEO without an appointment Madam" the receptionist said professionally with a tough smile, July being an obedient child turns to leave.

"Are you leaving already?" Damien asks sarcastically smiling lovingly, July faces backward with a cute smile.

For years since they started dating and the whole engagement, no one knows Damien's bride thus the presence of July cut the curiosity of staffs, interns and board members.

Damien carelessly hold her stronger on her waist pulling her closer to his chest, July smirks nervously while others stare at them in admiration.

Damien sensually kisses July deeply and rhythmically in the presence of G staffs, she didn't withhold as she embraces him tightly meticulously enjoying the passionate kiss and emotional thrilling moment.

If not journalist staffs, then who?

Weeks later the news channel, breaking news and internet publish the latest couple in town showcasing July and Damien. July Thompson a low class and simple minded lady turned celebrity overnight, she starts dressing in hoodies and cap in other to escape from reporters and paparazzi while the ladies crushing on Damien felt humiliated and heartbroken.

July's future was indeed clear and one every young adult and adult would dream of, the determination she had towards being successful didn't stop in the middle of everything, she push on harder accepting every failure as a step to her success.

Damien's grandmother "Elsa Gerber" returns from Newyork on hearing the latest news sent an invitation to see her mysterious and beautiful daughter-in-law to be.

The Gerbers sent out family dinner invitation to the Thompsons but their invitation was rudely rejected even when July pleads pitifully.

Elsa at first sight fell in love with July, she couldn't face another direction as she stare at July deeply all through the dinner period discussing delightfully.

Damien singlehandedly hired Mr. Thompson back to G groups promoting him into a higher rank officer closer to the position of his mother before one could take a break, Mrs. Julliana Victor set aside her pride and visit Sarah with a clear conscience.

"We shouldn't let our past ruin the bright tomorrow of our lovely children" Mrs. Victor pleas and explains sadly yearning for Sarah's response.

Sarah impulsively agreed to the decision of Mrs. Victor thus the marriage between Damien and July had a head.

Rachael, Michael, Tony, Rose cordially participated on planning the perfect ceremony of July and Damien. Rachael choose a wonderful venue closer to the beach, Tony sets the tables, chairs and other decoration with the help of his crews, Michael was in charge of the meals while Rose focused on following July as the chief bride's maid. July specifically designed and baked her wedding cake personally while Damien sent out invite, send love messages to July and focus on purchasing the last edition Louis XIV suite for himself.

Rachael's phone vibrates loudly and she anxiously checks the message.

"I will be sending you a wedding invite soon" she read the text message on a phone and smile brightly in happiness.

Slow, steady, deeper, hard, harder, slowly. Damien passionately thrust into July meticulously as she moans his name flirtatiously in passion.
