##Chapter 35

Hugh Mikhail



The next day, in the morning, I went to Diana's store with a tight chest, the night before after sending her the message, I turned off the cell phone in fear of the answer and didn't turn it back on until then.

As I walked, I started to think about what I would do with my life now, that after the goal of winning her back, all I had left was Charlie and I didn't have the heart to do anything but be a good father to him. I wondered if I would ever be able to forget about his mother.

Almost arriving at the door of the store, my heart suddenly started beating strangely fast, as soon as I entered, to my surprise it was not Chelsea holding my son, but her.

Diana.

She and Charlie were sitting on one of the plush upholstered reception desks while she fed him a bottle and looked into his little face. Diana was as beautiful as ever, I didn't know another who could beat her in beauty, at least in my eyes and that was all that mattered.

I stood looking at them for a few more seconds, until Charlie seemed to get agitated and wanted to go to the ground, my boy found me and said: Daddy! Smiling at me.

Diana looked towards the entrance of her shop and saw me, her eyes went to Charlie following him running until I picked him up.

“Hugh. He pronounced my name very low.

- What are you doing here? I questioned.

“It's my shop. He gave a half smile.

- I know. But you know what I'm talking about.

"Didn't you read my message?"

I remembered that I had turned off my cell phone so I wouldn't read your reply to my message.

- No.

"Can we go to your house?" I need to talk to you and I don't think it's appropriate for us to talk about something so serious here. My body stiffened .

- Clear. I shook my head and waved her through.

The short walk to the car and the rest of the way was silent. As soon as she parked, we got out and entered my humble home. Diana rubbed her hands together nervously, her face a little red. I dropped the baby on the floor who started to move things and I sat on the couch inviting her to join me.

"I wanted to know if you've given up on me yet." Of us. Diana asked suddenly. She looked like she was about to cry.

"If I gave up on us?" My tone was sarcastic even though his question surprised me.

"Just tell me if you've already given up." Her lower lip trembled.

“No, Diana. I didn't give up, I just didn't want to insist anymore. My tone was angry. “Why are you asking me this now?

— I thought all that was too strange and when I left the gym, I stayed inside my car a little far away, just to put my head in place, deep down I knew you hadn't done anything but still fragile with everything I went through, I acted like that way without thinking. And then I saw this Carla girl getting into a car, but not just any car, it was Caleb's car. I immediately realized what was going on, it was a setup by the two and when I went to confront him, he confessed.

"Son of a bitch, I'm going to beat the shit out of that motherfucker!" —even though I was already aware that Caleb had set it up, I felt anger overwhelm me and I ended up punching the couch.

Luckily my son was too entertained making a mess.

- To be continued. She swallowed hard.

“Later I went to your house to apologize to you and tell you what really happened, but then I saw a different car outside and when I went to the window I saw you with a nearly naked woman kneeling in front of you.

Holy shit! But what a big shit!

- I didn't want to stay to see what was already very clear before my eyes, but what could I demand after the way I treated you, distrusting and saying what I knew would hurt you? But I felt what I had never felt before, it hurt more than a knife wound and when you sent that message I thought I had lost you forever, that I had given up on our family and when I tried to call you and messages that went unanswered, I had certainty.

"Diana, do you trust me?" I asked lifting her chin to look her in the eyes.

- Yes I trust. I feel terrible for having suspected, forgive me for that. But now I just need to know if you gave up, if you were with that woman in your house...

"I promise I will never lie to you." I've never lied, all I've done before is omit something to save you from worse things, but no lie.

“Then tell me the truth.

— After the way you left the academy, I was very pissed that you thought I would be capable of doing such a thing to you, I was very angry and I was determined not to look for you anymore. Later I went to visit my father and on the way out I stopped at a bar to drink, I stayed until I dropped and when the bar was almost closing, the bartender offered to take me home, I, induced by alcohol, let her. As soon as we arrived, she took off her clothes and came at me but I stopped her before we could do anything.

"Promise you're telling the truth?" Please... - the distress was stamped on his face.

“Yes, I told her I couldn't and didn't want to do that.

Diana placed her hand over her heart and let out a sigh.

- Thank God. I thought I was going to die of jealousy, of anger at myself. I don't wish this on anyone, seeing the person you love with someone else. It's horrible.

“Now you understand how I felt when you wanted to hide me from Caleb or couldn't decide whether to give me another chance or not.

— I never gave you the answer in words, but didn't my actions show how much I love you and want you close? I was just scared of surrendering totally and losing you again because I love you so much, I really love you.

- I love you too princess and I'm sorry for being disappointed in a man again.

“Caleb may have been a good person to me these last couple of years but he shouldn't have set something that low. You need to know that from the moment you came back, I never thought about another man, I never thought about anything other than being with you, there was never a real doubt if I would forgive you or give you another chance, that was already decreed. I was just scared.

My head then began to understand everything that was happening, I began to understand all their attitudes, my chest was relieved at the same time as full of joy.

"Princess, so you're telling me...

— That I'm here, I'm yours if you still want me. All my stuff and Charlie's are in the trunk of the car, home is wherever home is.

- Do you want to live here? A huge smile flashed across my face.

“Anywhere with you. I don't need anything else, my son and I just want you.

My chest was about to explode, I lifted myself up to her and kissed her on the lips, a thirsty and passionate kiss. When I pulled away, her eyes were filled with tears.

- I love you so much. Hearing it come out of his lips made my mind spin. It felt so good that my chest grew in size with so many feelings.

"I love you too my princess."

"Did I mention how much I've always loved you calling me princess?"

“No, he never said it , but I always knew.

— Convinced! She kissed me.

"How about we put a certain baby to sleep?" I looked at her with malice.

“I think it's more than fine. - smiled .

In a hurry I made Charlie sleep and laid him on the bed, as he still didn't have a crib, we were going to make love on the couch again.

"I want to be yours, my love." she said and my cock got more than hard.

"And I want to fuck you hard."

Grabbing her waist with one hand and her hair with the other, I took her lips biting and sucking them like it was the end of the world.

“I love it when you act wild and say such rude things. - pronounced in the middle of the kiss with panting breath and swollen lips.

"Take off your clothes for me." I ordered sexy.

She took off her dress without any hesitation and threw it away, then took off her bra and panties. Before my cock ripped through my boxers, I took all my clothes off as well. Diana looked down at my body and bit her lip excitedly.

— You are the most beautiful, sexy and hottest woman in the world, princess. Cum. I groaned seeing his tanned skin completely stripped of hair and so perfectly mine.

“And you're the hottest, most delicious, sexiest man in the whole wide world.

I wanted to lick her skin but at that moment I just wanted to fuck her hard .

I grabbed her waist and pulled her to sit on my lap on top of the couch, her throat let out a loud moan as I fit my cock at her entrance and thrust hard inside her.

The sensations of being inside her were always one better than the other, if I'd ever had another woman as hot as that, I couldn't remember. She was hot and tight and wet, the best.

For twenty minutes we didn't care about anything else, our moans mingled together as I thrust in and out of her relentlessly taking her to several intense orgasms that had her begging for more.

I felt her legs tremble and then I noticed that she was going to come again, I couldn't hold back anymore, I was about to explode inside her.

- That's princess, enjoy. I bit his shoulder, feeling his muscles tighten around me.

I thrust my hips hard and squirted all of my liquid inside her. I really hoped that there was already a brother or sister for Charlie there.

We stayed together with our foreheads touching as we caught our breath.

“I love you, Hugh Mikhail.

- I love you princess.

##Epilogue

Diana Markovic



Two days after we made up, Charlie, Hugh and I were at the hospital reception to meet his father who was pining for his grandson. As we walked in, the middle-aged man was sitting up in bed with a nurse running some medicine into his drip.

I stayed away leaving that special moment just between them, just watching the happiness and emotion stamped on her face wet with tears.

“I can't believe I have a grandchild. - the man said raising his arms to take the baby.

My son was always an incredible child who would go on everyone's lap and when he didn't go, I even found it strange. The boy went smiling into his grandfather's arms.

— He's identical to you when you were little, he even looks like the same person! — I smiled thinking how unfair it was that my son didn't look like me at all.

— I've already got a lawyer to try to make sure you don't go to jail. That he at least get house arrest, considering all the facts and also his state of health.

- Thanks son. Thanks. — father, son and grandson embracing was the most beautiful scene of that day.

“Father, I want you to meet Diana. Hugh beckoned me closer.

- Hello how are you? I said sympathetically with a smile on my face.

"Oh, so this is the famous Diana?"

“Famous?

“The love of my son's life. Hugh looked at me with shining eyes.

"May you know that he is also the love of my life." I looked in love at my man beside me.

He held my hand and together we stroked Charlie's head as he played with the buttons on his grandfather's hospital gown.

“I'm so thrilled! You make a beautiful family.

“Thanks, we're all one big family now. - I declared .

— Exactly father, Zarah is coming to the United States, she insisted on taking care of you when I spoke to her and said that she intended to hire a nurse.

"Ah, Zarah... Always looking out for me and my offspring." I will be forever grateful.

“All of us will be. She's an angel. I said, remembering how good she had always been to all of us.

— Now we need to go, I have my first fight at six in the afternoon.

"Go my champion." Bye my grandson and bye Diana.

- Bye see you later.

- Bye dad. Come son. “ I let Hugh take our baby and then we left.

At six o'clock I was already on the verge of biting my nails in the room where Hugh was getting ready, I was so worried but at the same time confident that my Viking descendant would win the fight. We left Charlie with my parents, none of us wanted to bring him to a place where there would be so much punching and blood.

— Friend, friend! I almost fell over in fright when Ramona approached, euphoric.

- There! Are you trying to kill me? I placed my hand over my heart.

“I'm sorry, but I really need your help and it has to be now.

"Okay, what happened?" I started to worry about her.

"Rick is here and so is Hunter!" I widened my eyes.

That was a long story...

"And what do you want me to do?"

"Distract one of them so I can leave, please."

"But why would you want to sneak out of them?" Is there something you haven't told me?

"No... Yes... Shit!" In fact, Rick and I kissed.

"But what does that have to do with Hunter?"

“Rick acted crazy after the kiss and said he'd never hook up with someone his brother already hooked up with and Hunter suddenly decided to look for me and we ended up hooking up again.

“My God, Ramona! Did you keep both?

"It was just a little kissing." Problem is, I'm in love with one of them.

"And why is it?" I asked but when she was about to speak, Hugh appeared ready to fight.

- It's time. They are calling me.

And just then I heard the voice of the "presenter" shout: Mikhail the Viking.

Who named it? For God's sake!

— I think that with the beginning of the fight and the rise of Hugh in the ring, I can leave. But thanks anyway, bye friend, bye Hugh! the crazy woman exclaimed and practically ran away.

Ramona had always been such a well-resolved woman after everything she'd lived, I'd never seen her so disturbed like that, really, whoever she was in love with, it was serious.

- Princess. — my love gave me passage and I walked in front of him with a silly smile on my face.

“Win this fight and don't let him hit you too hard. I asked nervously and got a kiss on the lips.

- I will win. — and went up.

With each blow I cowered in some corner and closed my eyes. At a certain point I started to see a movie pass before my eyes...

Ever since he'd reappeared in my life, I'd never had a question whether it was between Caleb or him. How could? Hugh has always been the love of my life, at first I was afraid of suffering again, of going through a pain that was so difficult to overcome. I could hardly believe he was there again, but he was, he fought for me and won me, gained something he never truly lost.

Some time later it was time to announce the winner, and my champion was there with his arms outstretched. He won. I opened a huge smile full of pride for him, an immense joy invaded my heart, he was so happy and that made me even happier.

The first thing he did after being announced as the winner was come up to me, kneel down in front of me, pull a mini box out of his pocket and almost make me have a fit.

"Princess, will you marry me?" My heart was racing, tears were streaming down my face.

I brought my hand to my mouth in surprise.

- Of course! I replied smiling and crying at the same time.

Everyone around us started applauding, I stopped hearing anything as my lips were taken in a sweet kiss full of love.

"I love you so much it hurts." I confessed in the middle of the kiss.

— You are my life, you and our son. His words made me even more emotional.

After the end of the fight and he had received all the possible greetings, mainly from Sean, Hunter and Rick, we went back into the small preparatory room to get all our things, we were already missing our baby crazy, so I drove quickly to my parents' house.

My ring on my right hand was shining, my fingers were intertwined with my lover's, and we were smiling like fools all the time. When we rang the bell, it was soon opened by one of the employees.

- Hello goodnight. Hugh said as we walked in, I just smiled.

- Daughter! Arrived early. Hello Hugh. My mother appeared in the room with a glass of champagne in her hand .

- And yes. Where's Charlie? — I went straight to the point.

“He's upstairs with his father. — she said walking to the foot of the stairs — Dário!!! he yelled and I laughed.

- I'm going down! - my father replied and then appeared with my little one in his lap.

— Good night sir. - my fiancé said to my father, going towards him to pick up the baby. — I miss you son.

We both filled him with the kiss.

— Where's Diego? — I asked because I didn't have any more news from him after the end with Caleb who, by the way, also disappeared.

— Travelled. He must have found something very interesting in Brazil, in just one month he already went there three times. my father said.

“I'm glad he found something good there. I sincerely wished .

— I want him to buy a jet for himself, every time he takes the family one and when we need it we can't use it, just like when you needed Di. said my mother.

“In a way, it's a good thing he wasn't here with the jet. Otherwise I would never have this here. I looked at the two men in my life and showed my parents my ring.

"Are you going to get married?" they asked in unison.

- Yes. Hugh replied happily.

— Let me prepare everything, please, little girl, I've always wanted to prepare my girl's wedding! — she was thrilled.

"Of course mom!" I accepted overflowing with joy.

My parents hugged us, wishing us all the happiness in the world, I let them prepare everything, the party was the last thing when what mattered most was that I was getting married to the love of my life.

Two months later...

I got out of the car accompanied by my father and we stopped in front of the white chapel decorated with yellow roses. My skin crawled because everything we experienced seemed to have happened yesterday, but it had been two and a half years.

We took the first step to enter the chapel and the sound of the bridal march began to sound, nostalgia invaded my mind as I walked to the altar, I felt sad for the time we lost together but it was for a greater reason.

Hugh was standing there at the front waiting for me, his eyes loving. I was so lucky to have found a man who loved me so much, cared for me so much. With each step taken towards the altar, I saw the faces of the participants in our history.

The first I saw was Zarah who came to take care of my father-in-law who was at his side all emotional, Hugh had made enough money from the struggles to get a good lawyer who happily did what he could so his father didn't go to jail. With Hugh's testimony and also the time he was imprisoned "unfairly" for the crime, and the state of health, the judge in the case granted house arrest, maybe my parents being judges also influenced the decision, since I asked for help them for that.

In the front seat were Ramona with a huge smile on her face, Rick and Hunter. They seemed to have hit it off and my friend finally chose who she was going to be with.

I asked my mother for it to be a simple ceremony, that the godparents didn't have to stand, so they were all sitting in the small chapel. My mom couldn't contain herself and wouldn't stop crying for even a minute, Diego was serious but he smiled at me as soon as I looked into his eyes, he was also accompanied by an incredibly beautiful young black woman.

I was happy with my new big family.

Chelsea and a few other friends from the store were also there to share the joy with me. And then I finally got to my love, who received me trembling, beautiful and moved.



"You are very beautiful princess. I thanked just smacking my lips.

We lost ourselves looking at each other feeling our love overflowing, every word spoken by the priest was not heard, we seemed to be alone.

"Diana Markovic Carlucci, do you accept Hugh Mikhail as your lawful husband?"

- Yes! I replied without blinking.

"Hugh Mikhail, do you accept Diana Markovic Carlucci as your lawful wife?"

- Yes! He had the most beautiful smile in the world.

Sweet new music played as our little Charlie walked through the doors carrying our rings and eliciting gasps from all around him . I didn't hold back and cry, I wanted to see this scene forever before my eyes. It was the most beautiful thing in the world to see my son come in to hand us our wedding rings.

"Before you kiss, would you like to say standard or personal vows?"

“I have something to say. I said, surprising him.

The night before I had spent hours trying to write something that was already engraved in my heart.

When the word was given to me, I began:

— Hugh, when we met, it seems that a spell was cast over me, I fell in love so fast and gave myself to you so fast that what we lived in a week was more intense than a whole life I had before you. When I lost you, I thought I couldn't take it, but I got over having that little piece of you in me, by the way, I thank you for that. The moment you came back into my life and fought for me until the last moment, even with my reluctance, I knew that I could never live without you, that you were the one I wanted, that I loved you and never stopped loving you. There was never competition, there was only fear. I am very grateful to life for allowing me to meet you, we are soul mates, true love, I want you forever. I love you my love.

I don't think I've ever seen Hugh cry like that, his eyes were filled with tears as he muttered the only thing he could manage at the moment:

"I love you, I love you very, very, very, very, very, very much."

"By the authority given to me, I now pronounce you husband and wife." You can kiss.

Hugh lifted me into the air and kissed me like there was no tomorrow. He was my husband, officially we belonged to each other, all these sensations made me go to heaven and back.

Everyone applauded and Charlie ran over to share the joy together, the piece of both of us. Of our beautiful love. Later we discovered that inside me there was someone else, a fourth person who arrived to brighten our lives even more.

Some time later, Hugh decided to stop fighting, he had already won enough awards and just wanted to enjoy his time with the kids and me, he continued working only as a trainer at the gym. Charlie was three years old and Arthur was one year old, they were the most precious things in our lives .

My shop was getting better and better, Zarah, Ramona and Chelsea helped me with everything, with work and with the kids. My husband's father was still with us and gave all the affection and attention to his grandchildren and also to his son, making up for all the lost time. My parents were always with us whenever they could, but recently they had traveled deciding to live new adventures.

I gave Hugh a second chance and he made me the happiest woman in the world. How lucky I was when he appeared and reappeared in my life.

END .
