Chapter 134: Getting Married Again

It's been a month since Xavier was discharged from the hospital, and since all this time he has been on very good terms with Sarah and Richard. The first week after he was discharged from the hospital, Sarah spent the whole week at his house with Justin in order to keep an eye on him and also to be sure that he had recovered completely. It was during this period that she discovered that Xavier had another company aside from Quim Corporation that he had sold to her. Hearing this made her feel less guilty for everything she had done to him; if not, she was already feeling sorry for him and was even considering handing the company back to him, but Xavier had told her that it wasn't necessary and the company was doing much better with her as the CEO, so it would be better if she kept on managing it while he, on the other hand, concentrated on building up his new company.

When they announced their upcoming marriage which would be taking place very soon, it immediately became the top trending news in the whole New York City, some people were saying that the wedding was going to be successful while others were claiming that it wasn't going to be successful, that what happened during her wedding day with Charles is also the same thing that is going to happen, some went to the extent of posting videos in which they were advising Sarah not to get married to Xavier that he was just after her wealth, but despite all this their firm resolve to get married didn't quiver even a little bit, they were determined to get married and nothing was going to prevent them from doing that, and Sarah on the other hand knowing how rich Xavier was wasn't even affected by all the things been posted online, her life was hers to leave and whatever she decides to do with it is her personal decision not that of the people online.

In less than two weeks, Xavier had already rehabilitated completely and was already preparing for the wedding, which was programmed for the end of the month. During all this while Xavier was still working at the company as usual, only that he isn't always present like before because he has to take care of the charges of his new company and other things.

Just in the flash of an eye, the wedding day had already arrived, and it was also on a Sunday. Xavier was still sleeping peacefully when his phone suddenly started ringing, jolting him up from his deep sleep. Stretching out his hand, he took the phone, and since he was still sleepy, he didn't even look at the caller ID before picking up the call and placing it on his ear.

"Hello," he said with a sleepy tone.

"Good morning, babe, don't tell me you are still sleeping," Sarah's voice sounded through the phone.

"Yes, of course I'm still sleeping," Xavier said to her.

"What!!!" Have you forgotten what today is?" Sarah asked him through the phone.

"No, of course; today is our wedding day, right?" Xavier asked her.

"Yes, of course. I thought you had forgotten; if not, why will you be sleeping till this time?" Sarah asked him, and immediately Xavier furrowed his brows in surprise before lowering the phone to check what time it was, and to his greatest astonishment, it was still six AM.

"Come on, babe, it's still six AM, and the marriage is programmed for nine AM, so there's still enough time to prepare.". Xavier said to her.

"Okay, if you say so, no problem, but you better not be late; if not, I will simply cancel the wedding. Me, I have been preparing since five AM," Sarah said to him, and with that, Xavier smiled at her.

"Don't worry, darling, I won't be late; just take your time and make yourself beautiful for me," Xavier said to her.

"I will, baby; you can count on me for that. I have to hang up now; see you at the church," Xavier said to her.

"See you too, babe," Xavier said to her before hanging up. Once he hung up, he smiled at himself, and at the same time the sleep in his eyes suddenly disappeared. The only thing he could think about was how he was going to profess his love to Sarah before everyone at the church. It's true that he has done that before, but the only difference is that the first time it wasn't sincere; the reason why he married her the first time was so that she could bear him a child so that he could inherit his father's properties. But this time around, it's going to be very sincere, and everything he's going to say to her is going to be out of love, not out of pretense.

Around eight PM, he had already finished getting himself prepared for the wedding; he was putting on a white suit accompanied by a white Derby shoe.

Coming out to the sitting room, he saw Ben sitting on one of the sofas, looking at him in amazement. He too was putting on a white suit accompanied by a white shoe. He was Xavier's best man, and that was what Xavier had asked him to wear.

"Wow, boss, the suit really looks good on you," Ben said to him.

"Thanks, Ben, can we start going? I don't want this wedding to be cancelled because I came late," Xavier said to Ben, who smiled at him.

"Yes, of course, boss, we can start going," Ben said to Xavier, who nodded in reply before heading towards the exit with him.

In less than thirty minutes, they were already at the church, but on getting there, they were surprised at the number of reporters present to capture the whole event, and all thanks to the security guards, they were able to get inside the church without being stopped by the reporters.

Without hesitating, Xavier walked into the church accompanied by Ben, who was his best man, and as he was walking inside, everyone kept on cheering at him. Some minutes later, Sarah also walked in her whole glory, accompanied by Lucy, who was her flower girl. Once Xavier saw her, he heaved a sigh as a warm smile spread through his face. As she was walking towards Xavier, everyone kept on cheering at her, including Justin and Richard, who were among the audience.

Getting closer, the pastor now asked both of them to exchange their marital vows, and with that, the microphones were given to both of them.

"Babe, you know after everything I did to you, I don't deserve to stand here today wanting to get married to you again? Someone once told me that as humans we never know the value of the gold we have until the day we lose it, and that was exactly what happened to me; you were my gold, my treasure, but I didn't recognize your value, and I almost lost you, and that was why I was determined to get you back at all costs, and here we are again. As we are getting married today, I'm putting my life into your hand as a guarantee this time around; if I ever mess up again, do to me whatever you want, but believe me, I'm never going to mess up again," Xavier said to her, and immediately everyone burst into a round of laughter, and Sarah, who was already on the verge of crying, wiped away the tears that were about to drop from her eyes. "I promise to love you, protect you, and, if required, sacrifice my life for you over and over again. I love you so much Sarah, and I will always do," Xavier said to Sarah before taking her hand and sliding the ring into her finger.

"As you said earlier, you don't deserve to get married to me once again, but neither do I; I almost killed you myself," Sarah said to Xavier, and immediately everyone burst into a round of laughter once again. "But then you did something that no one would have ever done for me; you took a bullet for me, and from that day onward I was like, I'm forgiving this guy; I'm getting married to him again; at least if not for anything, he will be taking bullets for me," Sarah said to Xavier, and immediately everyone burst into a round of laughter once again. I love you, Xavier. I know we have gone through many things with our differences, but here we are getting married again, and I promise to be a good, supportive, and lovely wife just as I have been in the past, but if you mess up again, I'm killing you myself," Sarah said to Xavier before taking his hand and sliding the ring into his finger, and without even waiting for the pastor to ask them to kiss each other, they immediately started kissing each other, taking the pastor by surprise.

"Ooh, it seems like I wasn't fast enough," the pastor muttered, and immediately everyone burst into a round of laughter before beginning to cheer for the couples, including Richard, who couldn't withhold his tears as he was witnessing his daughter finally getting married. As they were still kissing each other, the cheering intensified, with everyone wishing that they lived happily forever after, like in the fairy tale stories.

Prologue

A Year Later

"Xavier !!! Xavier !!!" The name of Xavier echoed from the sitting room.

Once Xavier heard Sarah screaming his name from the sitting room, he immediately dashed out of the kitchen, where he was preparing a cup of tea for Sarah , and started running towards the sitting room.

Once he came to the sitting room, he saw Sarah wriggling in pain while holding her protruding stomach.

"Babe, are you okay?" Xavier asked Sarah .

"How can you be asking me if I'm okay? Can't you see that my water has already broken?"Sarah asked Xavier . Her voice was filled with agony.

"But, babe, I still don't get it. What do you mean by your water has already broken?" Xavier asked Sarah with a confused tone.

"Argh!!! The baby is already coming out," Sarah screamed in pain.

"Oh my gosh, that was what you were supposed to say instead of saying that your water has broken," Xavier said to Sarah .

"Argh!!!" Sarah screamed once again in pain.

"It's okay, babe, let's start going to the hospital," Xavier said to Sarah while carrying her despite her heavy weight.

Once he carried her, he started heading towards the exit door.

Before their arrival at the hospital, some doctors were already waiting for them with a stretcher. While arriving, Xavier had already called the hospital to inform her of their arrival.

Once the car entered the hospital premises, some doctors rushed towards them with the stretcher, and without hesitating, they laid Sarah on the stretcher and started heading towards the labor room.

Before entering the labor room, the doctor told Xavier to wait outside.

While waiting, Xavier couldn't help but stroll up and down while waiting for the doctors to come out.

After strolling around for some minutes, he took his phone and placed a call across Richard who picked up after some minutes of ringing.

"Hello Xavier, how are you doing?" Richard asked Xavier after picking up the call.

"I'm doing good Richard, what about you?" Xavier asked him.

"I'm doing good too, by the way, hope everything is okay, if not you are sounding a little bit restless," Richard said to Xavier through the phone.

"Well I'm currently at the hospital with Sarah, she already giving birth," Xavier said to Richard.

"Really? And you are just telling me about it now," Richard said to Xavier through the phone.

"Well that's why I called you, and it haven't been long since we arrived at the hospital," Xavier said to Richard through the phone.

"Okay Xavier, I will be at the hospital in some minutes," Richard said to Xavier before hanging up the call.

After hanging up the call, Xavier turned around only to see one of the midwives walking towards him.

"Sir please, your presence is needed in the labour room," the midwife said to Xavier who didn't hesitate before following her from behind.

Before getting inside the labour room, he was given a plastic attire that he put on like a gown.

Coming inside the labour room, he saw Sarah , who was still lying on the bed with sweat covering her whole face.

Meanwhile, the doctor and the midwives have been asking her to push, but she won't agree because the pain was unbearable for her and also it was her first time.

"Please, you need to talk to her; it's taking more time than required. We know that it's painful, but she needs to push for the baby to come out." The doctor said to Xavier who sighed heavily before walking to Sarah and touching her sweaty forehead.

"Babe, please, you need to push a little bit more. I know it's painful, but just try." Xavier said this to Sarah and immediately she glared angrily at him.

"No, Xavier , don't tell me to push; you did this to me; if I knew, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant; if I knew that it was this painful, I wouldn't have opened my legs for you." Sarah said to Xavier angrily, and immediately the doctor and the midwives inside the labor room bursted into a round of laughter.

"Ok, I apologize for getting you pregnant, but please, what has happened has happened, so please just add more effort." Xavier begged Sarah who was still glaring angrily at him.

"Babe, can I hold your hand?" Sarah asked Xavier , who didn't hesitate before agreeing.

Once Sarah took Xavier's hand, she started caressing it, and before Xavier could realize what was going on, his hand was already in Sarah 's mouth.

Xavier only realized what was going on when she started biting his hand.

As Xavier was screaming, so was she pushing, and in less than a minute, the cry of the newborn baby filled the labor room, and immediately Sarah passed out with Xavier 's hand still in her mouth.

Doctor is she okay?" Xavier asked the doctor with a worried tone while holding his hand, which was already bleeding due to the bite he received from Sarah .

"Yes, she is fine; she needs a little rest," the doctor said this to Xavier while carrying the newborn baby girl.

"Can I carry her?" Xavier asked the doctor, who shook her head negatively.

"Not yet Mr. Xavier, we need to clean her up, and also treat your bleeding hand first. So why don't you follow one of the nurses so that she can treat the wound also put some bandages on it before it gets infected," the doctor said to Xavier who nodded in reply before walking out with the nurse.

When he came back some minutes later, Richard had already arrived with Justin and he was busy discussing with Sarah who was already awake.

"Daddy!!" Justin ran towards Xavier to greet him.

"Hey my champion how are you doing?" Xavier asked him as he squatted down to reach his height.

"I'm good Dad, what happened to your hand?" Justin asked him while looking at his bandaged hand.

"Well that's what I got for getting your mother pregnant," Xavier said to Justin before looking at Sarah who was grinning ear to ear.

"Daddy is the baby my sister?" Justin asked before pointing at the incubator that was in a corner in the ward and that was when Xavier realized that the baby was actually in the ward with them and without hesitating he stood up and walked towards the incubator to take a proper look at the baby.

"Yes Justin, she's your sister," Xavier said to Justin as he got closer and at the same time Richard walked to him.

"Congratulations Xavier," Richard said to Xavier who was still admiring the baby that was sleeping peacefully in the incubator.

"Thanks so much Richard," Xavier said to him with a warm smile.

"Babe, so when are you finally going to buy me the Lamborghini you promised me when I finally give birth," Sarah asked Xavier from where she was lying and with that Xavier walked towards her while grinning ear to ear.

"Well I was planning to buy you a Rolls Royce instead, but then you injured my hand and now I have used the money I wanted to use and buy the car to treat my hand, but don't worry, when you give birth to our third child, I will get you both a Lamborghini and Rolls Royce," Xavier said to Sarah with a teasing tone and immediately she glared angrily at him.

"Never Xavier, if you don't fulfill your promise of buying me a Lamborghini, not only will we not be sleeping on the same bed, I will never allow you to touch me again talk less of getting me pregnant," Sarah said to Xavier who had already covered his two ears with his hand.

"I can't hear you," Xavier said to Sarah who was glaring angrily at him.

"Xavier!!!!" Sarah yelled his name angrily and immediately he bursted into a round of laughter.

Meanwhile Richard couldn't withhold his smile as he watched his daughter who have fallen in love with the same man she was once determined to ruin, and they have even went to the extent of getting married and having another baby together.

'Love is a very strange thing' Richard thought inwardly with a warm smile hovering over his face as he was watching the couple playing lovey dovey not even minding his presence.

The end..
