Sold To A Billionaire

Finale: She Finally Said Yes

“Life is ironic. It takes depression to know happiness. It takes stress to understand calm. It takes absence to value presence.” *** ZOE’S POV Standing in the hallway, in front of the open door… is Helios. He was holding our daughter’s hand. Is my third eye open as well? I did the sign of a cross and closed my eyes. Lord, God, I may badly want to see him, but this shocked me. I opened my eyes, and he was still there. I also heard the seemingly suppressed laughter of those with me inside. He smiled at me, which made my heart thumps so fast that I could even overhear it. Astonishment registered on my face. Confused… What is this? "Mommy, daddy!" Hela shouted. I looked down at the bouquet of roses that he was holding. It has assorted colors. What’s going on? I turned my gaze to my parents to find an answer. But they just nodded. I backed away when Helios started to walk inward. Our daughter was still next to him, smiling. Helios’s face remains calm as he slowly walks toward me. He stopped a few inches away from me. "Baby," his soft voice almost feels so unreal. I shook my head. My vision started to blur again. My heart pound-fast, and it brought pain into my chest. I didn't know what was happening, and I hated this feeling. Why does it seem like he was real? That he was not gone? That he doesn’t leave me. "I want to tell you about this man, a little secret of him not so long ago, way back in your college days," he started. "I have a twin brother, but he was already dead years ago. He was your first—” “What?” Helios smiled. “I know I’m such a jerk. I don’t want to dig into the past anymore. I am so sorry. I know it’s not enough. Knowing this truth, you can leave me—” “What are you talking about? I don’t care about the past. I don’t even think about it. All I ever

wanted is for you to wake up!” This moment... our moment... it seems like we're the only ones who existed. With all his revelations, my almost broken heart because of the taught that he had already left me... slowly mended and been brought to its original shape. “I know it’s so foolish. But I’m truly, deeply, madly in love with you. That day, when something happened between you and my brother, I followed you. I meant everything. I swear to God, I tried to stop myself not touching you. Not to own you that day, but your presence didn’t stop me from doing it, and God knows how I regretted it so bad that I needed to kneel right in front of your mother, asking her forgiveness that I took her precious daughter—" “It’s true, sweetie. But I never get mad at him because I started to trust him after hearing all about how true his love for you is. I started to entrust you to him,” said Mom. “Mom…” is all I can utter. “Helios.” And quickly crossed our distance. I hugged him and cried out love. He hugged me back, but that didn't stop him from continuing his words. "And I promise to myself that I will always take care of and love you," he loosened the hug, kneeled, and lifted his head, and the shadow of fulfillment filled his eyes. I gasped because of the sudden thought that came to my mind. Tears started to fall down my cheeks. I can't believe that this is happening. Helios smiled as he held the bouquet of roses. "This bouquet of roses, behind each color, gives the meaning of my undying love for you. Red roses are often considered the universal symbol of love. This red rose conveys my deep affection, such as desire or longing for you." He pointed to the red rose and remained to kneel. “Pink roses suggest gentleness, But I can’t promise to be gentle to you… in bed.” I hit him on the shoulder. She’s pointing out different things again. Those with us inside also laughed. “I’m pregnant, Helios.” "I know, baby, I know," he said and kissed my tummy. "Pink roses also serve as a token of admiration for you. Me, admiring every bit of your endless beauty." That made me blush. "They say purple roses are often associated with royalty and splendor and were often given to

queens and kings. But I said these suits us... you are my queen, and I am your king. And I want you to know that you are exceptional." Tears glow as it flows into my cheeks. It seems to no end. It looks like I am going to faint because of astonishment. I can’t process it all. "This rose," he pointed to the orange rose, "indicates enthusiasm and passion. They almost have the same meaning as the red rose. It also conveys romance... but not as valuable as the red rose. And lastly…” I looked at the white rose that stood at the center of the other roses, “the white rose. White has always been a symbol of purity, innocence, and in some cases, chastity, and for roses, it is no exception. But you're not innocent anymore, because I took it from you," he let out a soft chuckle. "For that reason, white roses are often given at weddings," he pulled something at the center of the rose, and it surprised me. It's a promise ring! “I promised to marry you, and here I am, kneeling in front of you, wanting to ask for your assurance to be with me for the rest of your life.” He smiled at me. "Zoe Levine, are you willing to be my wife, even if I have a difficult life? Do you still want to be with me?" “Yes, Helios. It’s a yes!” I said happily. His tears fell as he put the ring on my finger. He stood up and hugged me tightly before pressing his lips into mine. We then receive praise and renewed applause from those with us inside. To have hope is to want an outcome that makes our life better somehow. It can help us make a tough present and eventually improve our lives because envisioning a better future motivates us to take steps in life and make it happen. Who would have thought that the almost-failed ending we have would turn into an unexpectedly magical and memorable one? Realizing that our life is ordered by learning how to love as God loves has profoundly impacted the way we approach things. The world would have us believe that life has no purpose and that our existence was a universal anomaly or even an accident. Thus, we disagree. We know and believe that our lives have a sense and are on a journey. As we progress, we learn more and more about how to love as we are prepared, with all the people of God, to spend eternity with He who loved us

into existence. May God always be on our side as we open a new chapter of our life.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
