AFTER THE STORM
EPISODE 18 (FINALE)
Some minutes after, I was waiting in our car, watching what was going on with Lawrence and Dafina. He had called her to meet him so he could apologise and explain in person. I was surprised when I saw her slap Lawrence as she got close to him, I just laughed.
Later they continued to talk and for a while, I felt sorry for her, she was in tears… then they later embraced before she left in the car that had brought her.
“What did she say?” I asked after he got back into the car, rubbing his cheek.
“She said she saw me when I kissed you at the hotel and she wanted to see how long I was willing to keep the secret from her, She slapped me …as you could see and which I could tell you enjoyed seeing….”
I laughed and rubbed his cheek as he continued-
“….but she said she understood I don’t love her and she was happy she wasn’t going to marry someone who wouldn’t love her. Later she thanked me for being honest and that was that.”
“Well, thank God, is there anything else we want to do here?” He asked and I shook my head.
“So we are free to leave this country for good ?”
I nodded.
“Well then, are you ready to become Mrs Lawrence ?”
I smiled and put on my glasses before turning to face him.
‘I am ready when you are!”

*A Year Later*
EPILOGUE
“Francis, don’t play with mummy’s sketches.” Lawrence shouted at their three year old boy. (which was adopted)
The little boy quickly dropped the papers and grinned at his father… Just then a phone began to ring…
“Baby, your phone is ringing.”
“I’m coming.” Scarlett replied, now coming out of the room, heavily pregnant. She had a hand on a baby bump and she slowly but carefully walked to sit beside her husband . Who was going through their wedding pictures.
“Careful darling.” He said, assisting her to sit, before giving her the phone.
“Hello, yea, okay. I will call someone to handle that.” Then she ended the call.
“Who was that?” Lawrence asked.
“It’s my office at Dubai, we just got a partnership with Gucci directly.”
“Wow! That is such a good news. Congrats baby.” He said, kissing her while the little boy threw a pillow at them.
“See this boy o.. you don’t want daddy to kiss mummy?”
The boy nodded but Lawrence playfully ran to him and carried him on his laps, tickling him while he laughed excitedly.
Then he stopped and was looking at Scarlett’s tommy.
“Tistar.”
“Yes son, you are going to have a little sister very soon.” Lawrence said, placing a hand on the baby bump.
“How is my little princess?”
“Oh she’s fine, she’s been kicking me since morning.” Scarlett replied, now kissing her husband.
“Look how far we ‘ve come baby…God has been kind to us. We adopted Francis and now we are having our own baby.”
“Yea, God has been nothing but kind, please increase the volume of that song.. Francis come, let’s dance.”
The little boy jumped from his father’s laps and began to dance with his father as the music played on…..
I’m so glad we made it
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday…….
