  Three months later.
      &quot;I love you. Take care.&quot;
      &quot;I love you too.&quot; I responded, giving him a bright smile.
      He blew me a flying kiss as he shut his car's door. I shut the door afterwards.
      My phone rang so I picked it up.
      &quot;Hey, Nichole. Has he left?&quot;
      &quot;Yea.&quot;
      &quot;Good. Just stay there. We'll be coming over.&quot;
      &quot;Ok.&quot; I responded smiling and ended the call.
      It's Xander's birthday tomorrow and I'm very excited. It's so funny how time flies pretty quick. It's been almost a year since I met him and months have gone by since I became his wife.
      Just last week, we had celebrated the new year in a grand style with our families so now, even I want to do something really special for him and on this mission, I'll be needing Agent Zac and Claire.

  He held my hand and went on his knees. Then, the spotlight was on us.
      &quot; Nichole, I'm not the best at giving emotional speeches but all I know is that you complete me, Nichole Winston. Ever since you became a part of my life, my life has become really beautiful. I love you so much. I love everything about you. Your smile, your laughter and your every move. I love watching you. I love hearing you speak. I love being with you. Life without you is meaningless. I agree we've had to go through alot in the past and maybe in future too but I assure you that together, we'll face the beautiful life ahead. Please make me the happiest man on earth by agreeing to be my wife once again. &quot;
      He opened the ring box and in it was the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen. I closed my mouth in awe as soft tears rolled down my cheeks.
      &quot;Nichole Winston.... sorry Nichole Reynolds

  Xander
      (Next morning)
      I have been up for sometime now and busied myself with staring at her. She is so beautiful and all mine. The thought and reality of that fact brought an unwavering smile to my face.
      I love her so much. Few days without her has made me realise how incomplete I am without her. I missed her alot.
      And the reason for that is that Lara. I gritted my teeth at the thought of that woman. Lara tried her level best to separate us but I'll never let that happen again. I'll have to do something to keep her away from me and my family forever.
      She scurried her eyebrows and I know she's about to wake up so I closed my eyes in pretence.
      Nichole
      I yawned and rubbed my eyes. I tried removing the duvet only to remember that I was completely naked under the sheets and so is, Xander.
      Xander?
      I looked to the side and saw him sleeping
