“I love you more, Star.”

What more can I say? My heart is full and my life—finally complete.

EPILOGUE

Twinkle

(Two Years Later)

New York is every bit as amazing as they say in the books and movies.

Everyone is chasing a dream, hurrying down the streets in a variety of outfits, addicted to the hustle and bustle of the city.

Just a mini stroll on the sidewalks invigorates me.

However, none of it would be as amazing or exciting if it weren’t for the man I built a life with after uprooting myself to be here a year ago.

Kingston Bucher.

My rugged hunk of an obsessed stalker who stole my heart like it was his to claim.

Ever since I fell head over heels for him, I’ve been the happiest I’ve ever been. He adores the ground I walk on. Loves me unconditionally. Encourages me to chase my dreams.Showers me with countless orgasms every night. Owns my body like it’s a treasure.

Kingston is the other half of my soul.

He taught me that love really makes people brave because otherwise, I never would’ve decided to move to another country. Much less for a man.

Figures Kingston would be the one to prove me wrong.

After spending another week in Switzerland, it was time for us to enter the real world and burst our romantic bubble. We both had to fly back to our respective homes. It devastated me and I cried when I said bye to him at the airport.

The first six months of our relationship were hard as we juggled the highs and lows of a long-distance relationship. Kingston flew to meet me once a month but his hectic work schedule always took him back to New York.

We video-chatted, texted, and called each other daily, but the time difference made it difficult.

I hated the lonely nights. My days were spent distracted with my business, which was growing amazingly, but the lonesome evenings were the worst. Thankfully, I wasn’t completely alone throughout the whole ordeal. Another great thing that happened was being able to repair my relationship with my parents.

I also told Tina everything as soon as we met up after she returned from New York. Her reaction was pure ecstatic and she cried hearing about me falling in love. Although she was pissed that Julian pulled the same trick as her, it turned out to be lucky for me.

Meanwhile, Kingston’s company’s plan for a merger was still in the talking and strategizing phase and wouldn’t happen for a while.

When he told me that, I was crushed.

A fear grew in my chest that we wouldn’t work out. That the distance would kill our love and we’d grow apart. It felt like we were at an impasse. While my business was great, I couldn’t afford to fly to New York often, nor could I allow Kingston to always be the one to visit me.

I thought I was hiding my fears from him, but he knew my moods. Even through a video call, he knew I was panicking inside and imagining the worst-case scenario:

Him finding a girl who wasn’t so much trouble.

Except, I forgot the depth of his love for me because the same weekend, he showed up on my doorstep and declared he was moving to India, going as far as to leave his company and take a prestigious sports coach job just to be with me.

All to be with me.

Any lingering doubt I harbored that our love would fizzle out or we’d break up evaporated into dust.

There was no way I was going to let him walk away from the company he poured his blood, sweat, and tears into and made it what it is today.

I also knew with clarity that I didn’t want to be apart from him for even a second.
