UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 281 – THE END
|• ARIEL •|
Dad and Gray stare at each other for what seems like eternity.
It’s been five days since he returned, and I’m still in awe. I mean, I thought I lost him, and then he just showed up at my penthouse at such an ungodly hour and surprised me. The mob was grateful he was back—and also surprised.
So probably Alexa was right when she said he was in a coma somewhere, trying to fight death. He called his mom, and she wouldn’t stop screaming.
And then I went behind Gray’s back and told his mom we were visiting Canada soon.
And Kennedy? She really freaked out, screamed, and wouldn’t stop hugging Gray for a whole day.
My dad stays on his own now. He, Aisha, Gray, and I are having dinner at his house, and yet they haven’t said a word to each other. Just a staring competition.
“I’m sorry,” Gray breaks the silence.
I dart my head to look at him. He didn’t just apologize.
“I’m sorry for betraying you and taking what’s yours. I’m sorry for backstabbing you and being a little shit. I’m truly sorry. And also, if we can still work together again, I’d be honored,” Gray says.

Dad sighs and leans back in his chair. He looks at Gray, then at me.
“And why should I forgive you?” Dad asks.
“Because I’m truly sorry, and I know I messed up. And also…”
Gray looks at me and then back to Dad.
“We’re in love, and she’s carrying my baby. And I want to marry your daughter.”
What the—!
Wait, what? Marry? What’s he saying?
“What?” Dad asks as Aisha smiles at me.
Gray brings out a box from his jacket pocket, and I actually lose my breath.
No, he’s not about to do that.
He opens the box, and I see it.
Of course, he’s about to do that.
Aisha’s smile broadens, and Dad stares at him in shock.
I’m also in shock, ’cause I literally can’t close my mouth anymore.
He takes out the diamond ring, and I stop breathing.
Gray turns to look at me.
“I suck at all this cute speech stuff, actually. I’m really sorry if I didn’t say any,” he says and looks at my left hand before meeting my eyes.
“Tinkerbell, will you marry me?”
Damn. He just said the words.

“What’s up with you, Ariel?” Piper beams as I slide into the booth next to Brandon.
Piper and Alexa sit across from us at our usual restaurant, Sands and Winches. It’s been so long since we last hung out together here. All thanks to life.
“I’ve been good,” I say with a big smile as I adjust my yellow sundress. “What’s up with you guys? I swear, I miss college so much.” I sigh and bite my bottom lip.
“Fuck college. It’s just been the same boring shit. How are you holding up with online classes?” Brandon asks.
“It’s been great,” I say.
Alexa stays quiet as she eats her fries.
“Sup with you, Alex? You’ve been quiet,” Brandon says.
“No, I’m good. I miss this so fucking much…” She moans with fries in her mouth and gestures toward her plate.
“You’re sick as fuck,” Piper says, and we chuckle.
The waitress walks to our table, holding a menu. She extends it to me, and I shake my head sideways.
“Thanks. I’ll have water,” I tell the waitress as she leaves.
“What’s that on your finger?” Alexa asks as she stops eating.
“What?” I smirk and chuckle.
The guys stare at me with wide eyes as they look at my ring finger. Yup, I told Gray yes—that I was going to marry him and live in his world. And it’s kinda hard to believe that I’m actually getting married.
I really didn’t expect I was gonna get pregnant, let alone get married. To Gray Carter.
