After they said the vows and exchanged rings, Matthew kissed her. Everyone stood up and applaud. They took pictures and then he helped her towards the car. She waved at all of them as the car moved gently out of the arena.
"Today is the happiest day of my life." She said to Matthew.
"It is," he agreed. "I'm going to miss Toriola."
"She'll be fine." Julie assured him.
"I'm sure."
They got to their hotel suite soon enough.
"I'll use the bathroom." Julie went into the bathroom to shower and change her clothes. Then she stared into the mirror and smiled at her reflection.
Matthew removed his tie and sat on the bed. He reflect on all that had happened. He'd forgiven his father in his heart and he'd forgiven Nanny Morry, but he still hurt when he thought of Steve. He'd loved Steve as a brother ever since they were little boys till they grow older, not knowing he really was his brother. If only Steve had not done what he did, he would still be alive and what great brothers they'll be!
"Toriola." He whispered and smiled. The name did fit. Toriola - because of wealth. All the incident that happened were indeed because of wealth. He'll make sure to tell Toriohe story surrounding her birth and early childhood.
Thinking about the child now make him miss her so much. They'd handed her over to his mother and Nanny Morry to care for her till they got back from their honeymoon. The two women and Julie's father were going to pamper the child with love, and he would miss out on the fun. He'd agreed to let her stay back only because Juliana insisted. Left to him, he'll bring his baby along with them so they'll honeymoon together.
"Matthew." Julie called him.
He turned to his beautiful bride and embraced her.
"What are you thinking?" She asked.
"We should have brought Toriola with us." He grumbled.
"Stop complaining." She slapped his back playfully.
They laughed and tumbled into bed together.
