My grandfather renovated the entire management floor so it would reflect the new leadership and have the same feeling as the building on Wall Street.
It feels better to me. Not because my father and Bastian aren’t here.
Everythingfeels better than ever. Because I’m going to be a father.
It was only eighteen hours ago that I sat with my wife in the restaurant that first saw us come together and she told me the news. I haven’t stopped smiling since, and I still can’t believe it.
Me, a father.
I get to do it now and be the kind of father I would have wanted for myself.
I get to doeverythingthe door to marrying Aurora has opened, and I simply can’t wait.
I’ve come to learn that it really didn’t matter that I had such a horrendous relationship with my own father. I had the prime example in my grandfather, one I’ll definitely be following.
I never knew anything more could make me as happy as having the woman of my dreams at my side, but now I have her and my baby growing in her belly.
Our child and the host of others to come will be remnants of our love. Until then, we’ll live the life we always wanted.
Jericho walks through my opened door, carrying two Cohiba cigars—our way of celebrating everything.
He’s moved over here now too. Butonlybecause we work together and it made sense for him to come with me. His position as CFO is still pending the final criteria of marriage.
Jericho has three months from today to find a wife, and he has to stay married to her for another six before he’s given the highly-desired position.
It’s clear that my grandfather has used all obvious tactics to make sure my brother takes his demands seriously.
“Great view.” Jericho nods as he walks up to me and hands me my cigar. “And you are still beaming like a spotlight from your baby news.”
“I can’t help it.” I chuckle. “It’s the best news.”
He flicks on his lighter and lights up my cigar, then his. “It is good news, foryou. I’m happy to be the uncle. There will be no kids in the cards for me.”
“No?” I’m joking. I totally believe him. I’m just happy Grandfather didn’t include the stipulation of an heir for Jericho. That might have been the only thing to change his mind about getting his position and share of the company.
“Fuck no. It’s bad enough I have to find a wife. But I’ll do it.” He gives me a mirthless smile and a devious nod. “I’ll do itmyway.”
“And what does that mean?”
“Let me worry about that part.” He puffs on his cigar and taps my shoulder.
“Youaregetting married, right?” I quirk a brow.
“Of course. You know me.”
“I do.”
“Great, so may God help the woman who marries me.” He smirks. “She’s in for one hell of a ride.”
I don’t doubt him, but I think back to what he said to me that day about losing his girl.
My wish for him is to find a goddess like mine.
A woman who will complete him and help him find his way back to himself.
That’s what Aurora did for me. She was the light in the darkness of my world.
If Jericho is lucky enough to find a girl like mine, then it’s him who’ll be in for one hell of a ride, but I guess we’ll have to see what happens next…
