Married by Midnight (The BAD BOY BILLIONAIRES Series, #12) (22 page)

For the first time in a long time Eugenia was truly free.  It had taken Dunstan Manchester’s final act – locking her daughter in the cellar – for her to realize the true nature of the man. Golden didn’t know where she found the courage but her mother kicked him out of the house so fast he was probably still wondering what happened.  And as if that weren’t bad enough he had a court case coming up within the next couple of months.  Apparently he hadn’t known it, but forcible confinement was a criminal offence.

With Dunstan gone Eugenia would be alone but she would be independent and free to live her own life.  And, of course, her days would soon be full, running after the grandbabies she’d demanded.  Little did she know that Golden planned to have at least four of them.  Eugenia wouldn’t have time to scratch her head.

The sound of the organ pulled Golden out of her reverie.  It was the signal for her to march down the aisle with her husband by her side.  She did so proudly, waving to Duke and Max sitting beside her mother and father-in-law and smiling at Reed’s crowd of still zany college friends.

Then, just like in a fairytale, they left the church and climbed into an elegant carriage drawn by two white horses, their headgear adorned with majestic feathers, their trappings gilded in gold.

And so ends the story of Golden and Reed, as they canter off into the sunset with Golden finally freed.  Horses trotting down the street, the air filled with laughter, they will live and love - happily ever after.
