Calix's eyes locked onto Scarlett's, his gaze burning with intensity. "I want to be with you, Scarlett," he said, his voice low and husky. "I want to commit to you, to be your partner in every sense of the word."
Scarlett's heart skipped a beat. She felt a rush of excitement, a sense of joy that she hadn't felt in years.
"Calix, I want that too," Scarlett said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want to be with you, to explore this connection we have."
Calix's face softened, his eyes filled with love and adoration. "I promise to always be there for you, Scarlett," he said. "I promise to protect you, to support you, and to love you with all my heart."
Scarlett's eyes filled with tears. She felt a deep sense of commitment, a sense of knowing that she was exactly where she was meant to be.
"I promise the same, Calix," Scarlett said, her voice trembling. "I promise to always be there for you, to support you, and to love you with all my heart."
Calix's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity. "Forever?" he asked, his voice low and husky.
Scarlett nodded, her heart overflowing with emotion. "Forever," she said.
As they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, Scarlett knew that she had found her soulmate. She had found the one person who would always be there for her, the one person who would always love her.
And as they sealed their commitment with a kiss, Scarlett knew that their love would last a lifetime.
As they pulled away from the kiss, Calix smiled, his eyes shining with happiness. "I love you, Scarlett," he said, his voice filled with emotion.
Scarlett's heart swelled with love for him. "I love you too, Calix," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
Calix took her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. "We're in this together now," he said, his eyes locked onto hers. "Forever and always."
Scarlett nodded, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that she had found her partner, her soulmate.
As they sat there, hands entwined, Scarlett felt a sense of excitement for their future. She knew that there would be challenges ahead, but she was ready to face them with Calix by her side.
"Let's do this," Scarlett said, a smile spreading across her face.
Calix grinned, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Let's do this," he repeated, pulling her into another kiss.
As they kissed, Scarlett felt a sense of joy and happiness that she had never felt before. She knew that she had found her happily ever after, and she was grateful for every moment she spent with Calix.
Their love story was just beginning, and Scarlett couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.
Scarlett's eyes locked onto Calix's, her expression serious. "How are you going to handle Victor and Bastian?" she asked, her voice firm.
Calix's expression turned resolute, his jaw clenched in determination. "I'll report Victor to the police," he said. "I'll make sure he pays for what he's done. And as for Bastian...I'll protect you from him, Scarlett. I promise."
Scarlett's heart swelled with emotion. She felt a sense of relief wash over her, knowing that Calix would take care of Victor and keep her safe from Bastian.
"What about the evidence?" Scarlett asked, her mind racing with questions. "Do you have enough to take Victor down?"
Calix nodded. "I have everything I need," he said. "I've been gathering evidence for months, Scarlett. I have records of Victor's transactions, witnesses who are willing to testify against him...everything."
Scarlett's eyes widened in surprise. "You've been planning this for months?" she asked.
Calix nodded. "I have," he said. "I knew it was only a matter of time before Victor slipped up, and I wanted to be ready. I wanted to make sure that when the time came, I could take him down and keep you safe."
Scarlett's heart swelled with emotion. She felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Calix, knowing that he had been working tirelessly to protect her.
"Thank you, Calix," Scarlett said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you for everything."
Calix's eyes locked onto Scarlett's, his gaze burning with intensity. "Scarlett, I've been thinking a lot about our future," he said, his voice low and husky.
Scarlett's heart skipped a beat, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What about our future?" she asked.
Calix smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he said. "I want to build a life together, to explore the world and make memories that will last a lifetime."
Scarlett's heart swelled with emotion, her eyes filling with tears. "I want that too, Calix," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Calix's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity. "So, I was thinking...after we graduate, maybe we could..." he started, before trailing off.
Scarlett's eyes sparkled with curiosity, her heart pounding in her chest. "Maybe we could what?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Calix took a deep breath, his eyes locked onto hers. "Maybe we could get married," he said, his voice low and husky.
Scarlett's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filling with tears. She felt a deep sense of joy and happiness, knowing that Calix wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
