Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 123: The Real Ending

..Not sure if you know this but when we first met, I got so nervous I couldn't speak. In that very

moment, I found the one and my life had found its missing piece...

Walking our daughter to the altar and towards the man who promised us to take care of her, happiness

and joy filled my heart. I simply glanced at my husband and a smile spread over my lips.

"Take care of my Sabrina, son," Daniel said while giving his daughter's hand to her husband a few

minutes from now. "Be sure to keep your promise. Love her and be his partner in all the things and

decisions you will make." He even patted him on the shoulder.

"I will, Sir---I mean, Dad."

I just hugged them both and kissed my daughter's cheek before letting Kian lead her to the altar. I don't This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

have many words to say as I have already talked to him. I know how much he loves my daughter, I

witnessed that in my two eyes.

Daniel took my hand and led me to our designated seats. The moment the ceremony began, I looked

at our intertwined fingers, oblivious that my husband wasn't looking at our hands but at me. I smiled

when I finally noticed him. He returned that smile with eyes that shone with emotions I have first seen

30 years ago...during our wedding.

He kissed me on my forehead before we silently agreed to focus on the ceremony.

45 minutes later...

"Kian, you may now kiss your bride."

Kian didn't wait any seconds as he took Sab's veil and kissed her passionately in front of everyone.

Sets of happy tears started to flow down my cheeks as the day of my own wedding flushed back to my

memories... as if that day had just happened yesterday and not 30 years ago.

It was when my Mom and my brother went with me to the altar and gave my hand to the man I had

promised to stay with for the rest of my life, but now we were the ones who walked with our daughter

and entrusted her to her new partner in life.

Now we have just witnessed the union of their hearts and nothing can compare to the happiness we felt

seeing how our children grew independent and happy with the choices they made in life... especially

our eldest, Neil and the youngest, Sabrina. But of course, there's still one left whom I believe that

'getting married' or finding 'the woman to marry' isn't listed in his vocabulary... that's our Luke.

When the ceremony ended, Kian and Sab drove with the new expensive car that Daniel gave the

couple as their wedding gift.

"Let's go, sweetheart," he said taking my hand and we walked towards the entrance hand and hand.

He opened the passenger side for me and helped me fasten my seatbelt before closing the door.

I couldn't help smiling when we were finally alone driving to the reception. I keep on glancing at him

and smile every time he looks in my direction. I have many things in mind, things that I want to share

with him. Little did I know, that at that moment we have the same thing swirling in our mind.

"W-Why did you stop?" I asked him as he suddenly pulled the wheel on the side of the road.

But he just ignored my question and unfastened his seatbelt. I furrowed my eyebrows, copying his

moves and about to ask again, but my lips were suddenly sealed with a pair of warm and soft lips in a

hungry and a bit aggressive kind of kiss. I was confused at first, but in the end, I let that confusion be

stifled by the excitement we felt at that moment.

It seems like the old days. I felt my heart pounding faster inside my rib cage as I returned the kiss. His

hand automatically encircled my waist and I gasped when he lifted me into his lap...without breaking

the kiss. But as long as I want us to stay in that romantic situation, I can't allow him to continue what

he's doing because first we have to go to our daughter's wedding reception, and secondly, I'm sure

Alfred and his men were now puzzled as to why we stopped and what we are doing.

Alfred is the new head of our security as our former security head, Ben has already retired 5 years ago.

"What is going on with you, Daniel Kelley?" I asked, still catching my breath as I pushed him.

"Nothing. I just missed your soft lips, sweetheart."

I rolled my eyes trying to contain my smile. Senior years are now waiting on our way, but I don't know

why that kind of words can still affect me to the core as if I were still the young Sophia who has just

received her first kiss.

"You really know how to make my heart clap and jump out of my ribcage, Mr. Kelley."

"That's just a sign that you're still head over heels with me, my wife." He chuckled. "Well, I can't blame

you for that. I still have those killer smiles and oozing sex appeal that you once dreamed of being yours

30 years ago." And he winked at me.

Goodness!

Guess what I did?

Nothing! I just fake a smile and stared at him.

See? Things haven't changed. My husband always knew how to brag out himself.

"I think we should go. I'm sure the kids are now waiting." I tried to go back to my seat but he didn't let

me and tightened his grip. "Hey, let me go, Daniel! I know what you're thinking, don't be silly!"

"Argh! Sweetheart, let's just stay for a moment---"

"No! Your daughter is waiting and I'm sure they will ask why you'd come late at the reception."

"And so if they ask---"

"Huh! If they do, what do you want me to tell her? That her father suddenly stopped the car to kiss her

mother because he missed her lips?"

He shrugged. "Well, I don't see anything wrong if you tell the truth."

"Oh, gosh! You're unbelievable!" This time I really tried to escape from his hold to return to my seat. I

noticed him pouting and I secretly rolled my eyes. "Haist... age is really getting into you now, Daniel

Kelley." I murmured softly but I frowned when he suddenly burst out laughing.

"I heard that."

My head snapped towards him.

"Yeah, you're right, I'm getting old, but I can still perform my job well... (he glanced at me)... especially

at night, I can still make you scream." He said those words proudly before finally starting the engine.

"Argh!" I felt my face heating up in awkwardness. "You're so annoying!"

And he gave me the most annoying laugh that turned my face into crimson red. The car filled with his

laughter as he continued to drive to the reception.

I just decided to turn on the radio so that I can at least turn my attention into something unrelated to the

previous topic and hide the redness of my face. But the song playing on the radio made him stop

laughing. I glanced at him and noticed that he too has the same smile that I have on my lips.

**Through the years, you've never let me down. You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've

found, I've found with you. Through the years, I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we made and

I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you... through the years...**

He held my hand and with a love shining in his eyes, he brings it to his lips.

"You know how much I love you, right?" I smiled, nodding. "Thank you for staying with me all these

years, for being the best partner I could ever have and, of course, for being the best mother for our

children. I know it wasn't easy to stay, but you've always had a lot of patience with me, so thank you. I

appreciate all your efforts and sacrifices in this family, sweetheart." He kissed my hand again.

"Well, you're right about patience, Daniel Kelley, because having an arrogant and possessive husband

has really drained my blood every day, but I'm glad I stayed... we both stayed. So thank you because

despite being possessive, you always make me feel secured. You always reassure me that I'm the only

apple of your eyes and that your heart truly belongs to me. And don't worry about 'staying' because like

what I've promised you, I'm willing to stay for another set of 30 years in this marriage or more, as long

as I have your last name. I love you. And... I know I haven't told you this often, but you also did a great

job of being a father to our kids. They are lucky to have you as their father and I'm lucky as well to have

you as the most handsome husband in the world."

I ended my speech with a wink, exaggerating the last five words. Of course, knowing my husband, I

already expected hydrocephalus to grow in his head just by hearing that simple praise about him... and

he just proved my expectation...

"Whoah! I love you more, sweetheart! By the way, you really don't have to mention it. I was born

handsome, I grew old handsome and I'm sure I will die handsome!"

And that's it.

Rolling my eyes, I gave him the most hilarious laugh I could ever do. Honestly, we no longer have to

express those praises towards each other because deep in our hearts, we knew that our love doesn't

measure only by those words.

Our love is deep and perhaps deeper than the ocean. Everything we've been through was just proof

that falling in love isn't a choice and it will never be, but staying in love is.

In 30 years of being married, I've learned a lot of lessons in life and one of them is that 'Love' is not

finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have at the

beginning, but how much love you build 'till the end.

We know that our marriage and relationship are not perfect. We have discovered a lot of similarities

over the years, but we have also realized that we have differences... differences that I guess are much

more than the things we have in common.

For sure, there will still be many arguments, pride battles, expectations and problems through our

journey to forever... a simple argument that will sometimes turn into a serious one. There will be hurting

that may fade the magic sometimes, but the test of true love is how we hold on to each other, fight for

what we have and make each other as our strength and inspiration when the battle seems to be losing

one.

I finally tamed the cold and arrogant businessman, but I can't deny the fact he also tamed the wity and

stubborn me.
