Chapter 456 - Epilogue...

Five years later…

The whole mansion was decorated beautifully as if someone's wedding was going on..

A five year old boy was standing in the middle of the big hall, having a wide smile on his lips as he blew the candle off excitedly..

"Happy Birthday to you..

Happy Birthday to you, Benver..

Happy Birthday to you.."

Yes! It was the fifth birthday of Reuben and Veronica's precious son who was everyone's apple of eyes.

Veronica who was standing on his left side, took a slice of cake and fed him while wishing, "Happy Birthday, baby.. Mumma loves you a lot."

Benver smiled brightly when his mother kissed him on his cheeks and said, "I love you too Mom.."

"What about me, champ? Don't you love me?" Reuben who was standing on his right side with a seven months old baby girl in his arms asked, making a sad face..

"I also love you a lot, Daddaa.." Benver said excitedly, hugging his father tightly.

Reubica Smith who was both Reuben and Veronica's princess, blabbered some incoherent words while laughing and clapping loudly as if she too was wishing her elder brother.

"Look your baby sister is also wishing you, champ." Reuben said pecking his daughter's cheek.

Benver kissed his sister on her cheek and said, "Thanks, baby sis. Your brother loves you too."

Reubica laughed merrily and dropped a sloppy kiss on her brother's nose, making others chuckle at her cuteness.

Veronica had given birth to her and Reuben's second baby, Reubica seven months ago who had successfully owned everyone's heart in a whip of a second.

"Guys.. Can we have a family photo of you four now?" Jack who took the responsibility of taking photographs for the evening, asked the couple.

Myra grinned, seeing her husband's passion for photography while feeding her elder adopted son a piece of cake while her four years old son was sitting on his grandmother's lap.

"Is this even a question to ask? Today we all are good going to have a small family photo session." Reuben said cheerfully.

Denver jumped on his feet like a happy birthday boy and exclaimed jovially, "Yayy! We're going to click lots of photos.."

Veronica chuckled, seeing her son's reaction and said, "Cool down baby.. Otherwise, you may get hurt."

"Okay Mumma.." Benver said sheepishly with a stupid grin on his face.

Reuben and Veronica took lots of pictures with their friends, family members and their clients who were also invited in the grand celebration of their baby boy's birthday..

"Our baby had grown up so much that's he's already five now!" Lucinda said, peppering his whole face with kisses.

Henry who was holding both Jacob and Jennifer's hands who also turned five one and half months ago, said, "Really buddy! You've become so handsome that all the girls are only ogling at you."

Both Henry and Lucinda decided to not have anymore children as two were enough for them.

Neil who had his twin one year old daughters in his both arms said, "Yeah.. Our Denver is really popular among girls."

Willa wiped the five year old Michael's face which was filled with cake and then said, "Well, our baby Reubica is not any less. Look, how beautiful she has become in this small age only."

Alonzo came with Amelia, his four and half years old son was in his arms and said, "Yes Reuben! You will definitely have a hard time in future in keeping boys away from this little angel."

A frown appeared on Reuben's face as he said in a disapproval tone, "Why would I have hard time? I'll just warn every single parents to keep their son away from my princess...

Otherwise, they'll have to face the consequences. I'll not let any leach roam around my baby girl. Hmph!"

The moment these words left from his mouth, he yelped in pain as Veronica had stomped on his foot angrily.

"Dare you act like a possessive father to my daughter. Then I'll send you to dog house for one month!" Veronica warned him with a hard glare.

Reuben gulped visibly in fear of getting kicked out of their bedroom, but his little son saved him from his wife's wrath as he spoke out in his anger, "No Mumma! No boys are allowed near sisso. I'll break every boy's bones who will dare to come near Reubica."

Listening to his little man, Reuben felt extremely proud as he praised him with a pat on his head, "Good job champ! I'm trusting you with my princess then. You have to protect your sister from every single boy.. okay?"

Benver nodded his head with his chest up, acting like a grown up when he was actually a Lilliput, making others chuckle..

"Like father, like son!" Veronica murmured angrily, seeing the possessiveness of the father-son duo.

Andrew who heard him couldn't help but reply, "We, fathers can't help it Vero."

Veronica looked at six years old Olivia who was literally clinging to her father and sighed heavily.

Rose too shook her head and said, "I'm handling this from past six years. So just imagine my situation."

"Well, I can also relate with you. Just look at my husband for once and you'll understand the reason of my worries.." Diana sighed, looking at Louis who was glaring at every single boy of his three years old daughter's age..

Veronica nodded her head in understanding and turned towards her parents who were now playing with both Reubica and Benver and a smile crept on her lips.

She went towards the balcony from where she could be able to see her whole family and friends enjoying the party to the fullest while laughing, chatting and joking with each other.

Her smile grew wider when she noticed how her kids were getting love and pampering from every single person.

Their giggling faces were making her sigh in extreme content and satisfaction. She just prayed to the God to keep her family always happy and healthy like this...

Reuben who noticed his wife lost into deep thoughts, knew exactly what was running inside her mind..

Walking towards her, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, making Veronica lean her back on his chest..

"Thinking about the past, wifey?" Reuben asked in a soft tone, kissing the side of her head.

Staring at her beautiful family who were laughing and smiling contently, she mumbled, "Hmm.. I was thinking how everything changed in this past six years.. isn't it?

First we were secret lovers, then we became world's favourite REUNIC couple. Then you gave me the best proposal, making me your fiance. We then solved Alonzo's problem and reunited with Andrew bro...

Our best friends got married and had their own children. We too had our dream wedding and now are living with our life blissfully with our two beautiful children. Though we had lots of ups and down in our life, but the end result was always good.. right?"

Reuben smiled hearing her words as he said, "Yes.. Life is indeed great because you're there for me. Today we have everything that a man can ever wish. An understanding wife whom I love the most in the world, two beautiful children who are our everything now and a happy family which only lives for each other.."

Veronica turned around to face Reuben who was now looking at her with love filled eyes and said, "You know what Bennie! I thank God everytime for sending you in my life. You're a blessing to me. Really! Please stay by my side like this always.."

"Where will I go leaving you? My soul stays in you. My breath only whispers your name. And there's no existence of Bennie without his Ica.. We'll always stick together till death do us apart. No one can change this fact." Reuben muttered while cupping her face.

Veronica smiled and tiptoed herself a little so that she could reach Reuben's height.

Realising what she wanted, Reuben too dipped his head down and pulled her into a heartwarming kiss..

They sucked each other's lips so gently as if they were treating a porcelain doll. Their tongues mingled with each other and danced in the wave of passion..

Their eyes were closed while their arms were wrapped around each other as the couple kept enjoying their kiss sensually..

Through this kiss, they had sealed all of their promises to love each other for the eternity and grow old together till they take the last breath of their life..

Panting heavily, they pulled out of their passionate kiss and stared into each other's orbs which were filled with unconditional love for each other..

Giving the most tender smile that anyone had ever seen, they voiced out their most yearning feelings for each other while whispering lovingly in a perfect sync…

"My Heart Beats Only For You…"
