The next few weeks passed in a blur for Evelyn. Between work, the rising tension with the rival company, and her personal life, it was a whirlwind. But through it all, Leo was by her side.
They had become unstoppable—both in the boardroom and in their private moments. Each time they were together, it was like time stopped, the world outside no longer mattered.
And then one evening, as they sat together in the office, everything changed.
Leo looked at her, his eyes full of love, yet filled with something else. It was the look of a man who knew exactly what he wanted. And what he wanted was her, always.
"Evelyn," he said softly, his voice steady but full of anticipation. "I've been thinking."
Evelyn raised an eyebrow, curiosity lighting up her face. "About what?"
He took her hand in his, the action so tender it made her heart skip a beat. "About us. About our future."
Evelyn's breath caught in her throat, her heart racing. She knew exactly where this was going, and she wasn't sure if she was ready. But Leo's gaze softened, and all the fear she had melted away.
"Evelyn, I want you to be my wife," Leo said, his voice full of certainty. "And I want us to start our family. You and me... and our twins."
Her eyes widened, a mix of shock and joy washing over her. "Twins?" she whispered, unable to believe what she was hearing.
Leo smiled, his hand gently caressing her cheek. "Yes, twins. I know I'm asking a lot. But I want it all with you. Every part of it."
Tears welled in her eyes, the weight of everything they had gone through, the ups and downs, and the struggles with Damien, all coming together in this moment. She had never felt so sure about anything in her life.
"I... I want that too, Leo. I want you. And I want our family."
Without another word, Leo pulled her into his arms, their lips meeting in a kiss that was slow, full of promises. They were building something beautiful—something that nothing, not even the shadow of Damien, could tear apart.
Months later, as they stood in front of their friends and family, exchanging vows in a quiet ceremony, Evelyn couldn't help but smile. Her heart was full, and as she looked at Leo, she knew this was it. This was their forever.
Leo took her hand, his grip strong, just like his love for her. "I love you, Evelyn. Forever."
"And I love you," she replied, her voice steady, knowing that their bond was unbreakable.
And as the ceremony came to a close, they shared a final kiss, sealed with love and the promise of a future filled with everything they had ever dreamed of.
