Chapter 138
‘I’ll never get tired of watching you chase that spoiled dog!”
Billy stopped a little further away, wagging his tail like he knew exactly what he was doing.
Dante finally walked over, retrieved the sandal, and returned to me.
“He just wanted a little attention,” he says, slipping an arm around my waist.
We return to the water again.
With the soft breeze, his warm body against mine, and the soothing sound of the waves.
We sit on the sand once more, watching the calm sea in front of us. He wraps an arm around my shoulders, pulling me gently closer.
“How about a trip to celebrate our sixth anniversary that’s coming up?” he suggests with a
mischievous smile.
“Really?!” My eyes light up with excitement. “We could even invite Fox… or, better, Noah and
Thomas to join us.”
He laughs and nods at the idea.
I lean in to kiss him, but before our lips meet, Billy jumps on his back, knocking him face–first into
the sand.
I burst out laughing as he spits out sand and wipes his face.
“That spoiled mutt… Billy!” he grumbles, getting up quickly and chasing after him.
Billy dashes down the beach, making Dante run after him with a half–smile.
Watching the two of them play makes me smile even more.
Who would’ve thought I’d be married to a man someday… and that man would learn how to love?
At first, it was all obsession.
But deep down, it was love disguised as possessiveness.
Dante changed.
He learned.

He grew.
He became an incredible man, an even better husband.
And I love him.
I love this life we built together.
I look at him getting tackled again by Billy, who starts licking his face mercilessly.
The sight makes me laugh like a fool completely in love.
I lift my face to the orange sky of dusk and take a deep breath.
I hope the universe hears me and grants my wish: that our love lasts forever.
That in other lives, I’ll find him again.
That we’ll love each other again, live it all over again” and that he’ll always be my soulmate. Yesterday, today, and always.
My husband.
My love.
My own paradise.
Suddenly, I gasp as I’m lifted into the air.
“Dante!” I shout in surprise, laughing immediately afterward.
He spins me around, making me laugh like a kid.
I wrap my legs around his waist, gripping his shoulders tightly, still laughing in joy.
“You’re insane!” I say between giggles, kissing him with happiness.
“Crazy for you,” he whispers, with that look that makes my heart race.
I kiss his cheek as he carries me toward our home.
I hold him tight and close my eyes for a moment.
If this is a dream, I never want to wake up.
“Love… I love you,” I whisper, opening my eyes slowly as he sets me down, still holding me by the

waist.
He smiles, and the light in his eyes leaves me breathless.
“Elijah,” he says, his voice low and steady. “If the universe ever fades, the light in your eyes will still be enough to guide me. Even if everything disappears, what I feel for you will remain. Because my love is eternal. Infinite. Like the galaxies you adore so much.”
My eyes fill with tears, and a lump forms in my throat. All I can do is smile, resting my forehead against his.
“I love you so much.”
1 pull him into a tight embrace, wrapping him completely.
“And I want to spend all my lives loving you again. I want you to be my home in every existence.”
“And you, my universe.”
Dante isn’t just the man I chose.
He is my shelter.
He was my past, he is my present, and “if fate allows “he will be my forever.
I hold him tighter, smiling with teary eyes as one unshakable truth warms my chest:
I will never be alone again.
The End.
