Your constant support helped me to complete this book even though I just started it without any planning or proper plot in my mind, but it's time to wrap up this book and to end all irregular updates and waiting... I wanted to write few more chapters maybe bonus chapters will come in future along with epilogue coming up next.

Susan's P.O.V.

2 years later

"Mum, stop crying, I'm not leaving you for forever. Dad, please tell mom its just business trip I'll be back from London within a week." Mothers are so dramatic, sometimes that it gives you a headache, a very bad headache.

"Honey, let Suzi go, she can walk now and it's not like she will leave her settled life here and go back to London for one and a half year again." With that mom actually started staring at me like I'm the worst kind of human ever born.

Fine I left so what? I fractured my left leg and hand, slipped into coma for one month. I lost lots of things with that accident. I lost my position in the company apparently news of me being arrested leaked out. The Board has been already upset with scandal Adrian created and this gave them a good enough reason to vote me out. Dad has no option, but to accept his position back.

"Dad, please not again, look London has been good me plus grandpa and grandma are caring, not that guys are not, you know what I mean right?" After six months of rehabilitation program I was free to go home Xavier was all set for me to come back, but I was not, I wanted him to realize that he is part of my life, not my life.

I went home with my parents on the day of discharge, he didn't say a word his parents created fuss about it, but he handled them. He came with me to my parents home. We didn't talk with each other whole ride. It was awkward silence.

We were like ticking bomb ready to explode any second. It happened at night after dinner when we were alone on the balcony of my room.

"Susan look I'm sorry I know what happened was all my fault I should have let you handle your matter on your own, after all you really are master mind." First day out and I was treated with sarcasm.

"I know I am but it's worthless to sore my throat explain that to you, right?" I asked him, he stared at my face while controlling his anger. Good, because I'm done with his attitude.

"Of course, it's worthless after all when you were in prison and I was the one who was trying to get you out, and find the loophole in the situation." Wow taunting me now.

"Really? Last time I checked I would have not been in the prison that if you would have not interfered I keep telling you to back off, but you have been your proud self thought I'm trying to save my ex who I don't even give a damn about." I'm so losing my temper now.

"How would I know that? All we do was fight about it and you keep bringing that asshole in our conversations." He said while pointing his finger at me.

"And for god sake sit down if you keep standing like that you'll hurt your leg, your therapist told you not to keep standing for longer duration and you are on this balcony for the past hour."

"I know that and guess who is the reason behind my this condition." I replied sarcastically. Immediately his expression changed from anger to guilt. I shouldn't have said that. He is not completely responsible for it, but I still shouldn't have said that.

"You think I'm responsible for your this condition?" I was about to say no but he stopped me.

"Don't say anything now, I still remember that day clearly, I went to Ryan's place to confront him why did he you send to prison, to make him withdraw case against you. But as soon as reach to his place I got news that you are in the emergency room and you're in really critical condition. I was there when police came running to arrest him for charges of attempt to murder. Your murder. I came back you New York that very night. That was the second time in my life when I... when I cried." I can hear the pain in his words clearly, I tried to reach out for him but he steps back. So I stopped there and let him continue.

"I didn't knew you planned ahead, hell no one guessed. You planned it all together. You knew he was gonna attack you, you had tipped someone who to blame if you were attacked or something happen to you. You just didn't expect it to happen that night." The way he is saying it feels like he thought I'm a fool who doesn't know how to handle situations. News flash Mr Xavier you have a smart wife who use her brain way too much.

"I always knew it'll come to this, I was stopping everyone to take action against Adrian because I suspected he'll open his mouth sooner or later. So as soon as I received warning I acted on my impulse and called someone who might take action if something happens to me. In fact, I was waiting for something to happen just I didn't think about the severity of it." Honesty is what he wants so that'll be what he will get now.

"You could have died, have you even thought about us, our family? You should have told me."

"So that you can ruin my plan again, I was planning to catch him red handed, and I'll say it again, I didn't think about the severity of the situation I might end up in."

"You caught him indeed just you were in hospital for six months and missed all the action" he said sarcastically.

"Who said I missed it, his trial is day after day tomorrow and my lawyers will do their best to make his life hell as much as possible because I'm not my dad who worries about reputation it's time he suffer for my misery and sleepless nights." He deserves it. With that I plan to let Adrian go free too, I always wanted to show him my gratitude towards his support for me when I was going through a dark phase of my life.

"The hell you're going if you're going anywhere that would be home with me." He said anger flashing from his eyes.

"You can't stop me, and I'm not coming back Xavier not until I'm ready." I said calmly.

"Don't test my patience Susan, I came here because I didn't want to upset you since you're still healing. But this can go on for so long. Just pack your bags or I'll do it, we will leave tomorrow I can't stay here and you know it." Woah, I must have pissed him a lot to call me Susan instead of Rose.

"Then don't stay, I didn't even ask you to come here in the first place. You let me stay here before and you didn't even ask me to come back before what changed now?" I was standing in this same balcony back then missing him that day when Lisa had a baby.

"That was past, I love you Susan and I almost lost you I can't let anything happen to you ever again." He is holding my hands in his.

"I do love you too Xavier. Nothing will happen to me here." I said.

"So you won't come back?" I just my head. Immediately he dropped my hand.

"Susan stop being a child, I'm going to sleep and in the morning I want you ready to come back." Order order order that's all what will happen if I went back.

"I am coming back, you can't force me. I can't please." With that he just stares at my face and didn't reply back to me instead went to bed.

The next day he left without me, saying I can do whatever I want and doors are always open for me and whenever I'm ready he will be waiting for me with open arms.

Mom and dad keeping asking me what happened, why is he leaving. I lied saying he had some important matters to attend. They didn't believe me and soon enough tabloids published papers saying we are separating. We didn't comment on it. Soon another tabloid was publishing a news saying Xavier is back with his bachelor days and moving on. I didn't believe it because I know he is fully committed to me. And we are very much married legally. I didn't want to comment on this nonsense, but things are getting out of hand.

Day of court trail came and what I was expecting happened Ryan got what he deserved. I pretty much sealed his deal as soon as I got hurt in that accident he planned.

My parents actually supported me that day. It was moment of my life I will never forget. He did not even regret what he did to me, but he'll be there for good.

The same day I talked with my lawyers and decided I want to drop all the charges against Adrian. So they proceed in that direction I was actually waiting for Xavier to blow up my phone that day, but he didn't.

Few days followed all charges against Adrian was dropped and he was free to go anywhere.

All my works were completed I can go back to Xavier now, but didn't want to because I'm no one now. I don't have my designation in the company that's something big for me. I lost something which I'm entitled to do from the beginning, which I finally got to hold and grasp and made something good out of it but one mistake could take it all away.

I believe in saying whatever happens there is some reason behind it. I found that reason one fine morning when my cousin came from London his name is Mark and he does leave a mark on my personality. We talked and I told him everything because I just want to let it out and he is ready to listen. Plus, he is family and he is willing to keep it between us.

He asked me to go London saying a change of scenery is something I'm craving for and it might help me figure out my future. I definitely want my future with Xavier I'm sure, but not when I can't be myself first. I agreed with him so left saying my parents I'll be back within 15 days or so.

I guess I could say I got a little carried away when I reached there. Mark helped me settle at our grandparent's place. Where my life changed my grandfather was titled Englishman and my grandmother is a true lady with fine etiquettes. They took me with them to everywhere, gardens, sometimes to tea parties. Even Mark joins us and then one day I found my true passion car racing.

Mark took me to the stadium where racing track was, we went there to see his friends Vice, Jackson and Timmy, who are professional racers and we all end having a friendly match because why not. I didn't win, but I was first runner up. I was motivated that day all those months pile up frustration does that to me. As soon as the race started I to accelerate my car's speed. I did flawless turns because lets face the truth street racing does that to you and I have some experience.

Even if I'm not behind the wheels all the time Douglas did let me have my fill. I loved it back then I love it now too the rush and excitement it gives me. All of them were impressed with my performance so they asked me to join their practice sessions regularly.

It really helped me, I learned lots of new things and safety techniques.

I didn't race professionally, but these friendly matches grabbed me some sponsors who wanted to bring me to the track. I refused because this is something I love to do, but not enough to make a profession out of it. So I start going to office headquarter we have in London. Working there is comforting because I finally learned to balance official and personal life equally. I realized how I neglected responsibilities as a professional because of my new life as Mrs Susan Williams. I do wear my rings and adore them. I miss cuddling with Xavier in night, I miss arguing with him over small things. I miss how we used to spend our Sundays playing board games. I miss how he used to kiss me like I his only one.

He changed a lot he is giving me time to make up my mind. I used to receive gifts from time to time from him. On my birthday, I got a key with address, he bought me a home. I always used to tell him that if we are gonna settle down and have our own little family, I won't live in a penthouse. This is the same house we both liked, but I refused to buy it because the owner refused to sell stable attached to the property.

And message saying

Happy birthday Suzi,

I am waiting for you to come back don't give up on us, but don't give up on yourself, do what you must to help you find the peace.

I am ready to go back, but not until he comes back to take me home. So here I'm sitting at the back seat of my dad's car with his driver driving me to the airport. This time I want him to chase me for once and for all.
