“Okay.”
I put my hand on the back of his neck, and to the applause and cheering of our friends, our family, I pull him in for a kiss.
The best kiss there ever was.
ANOTHER EPILOGUE
SEOJUN
Four weeks later
“It was a great day, wasn’t it, Paper Trail?” I turn to Kevin and he smirks, nodding.
“Sure was, boss.”
“You should have seen it, Rugrat. It was so cute and magical. I wore pink, of course. It’s my signature color. Lol. Get it? Signature?”
Rugrat shakes his head, grumbling.
“Anyway. It was a great day. You know, I never thought I’d get married. I don’t know. I was always kind of a loner. I guess I have Hana and Min to blame for that. They isolated me from the rest of the world and made me focus on providing for them. But I’m over that now. You know the FBI arrested them a couple of weeks ago? They got caught trying to cross the border to Canada.Idiots. Now, they get to pay for their crimes. And I got the last laugh. Thank God for the anonymous tip line. That did the trick.”
Kevin clears his throat.
“Right. I digress. As I was saying, it was a wonderful day. I mean, would it have been more wonderful at the Plaza? Sure. Yes. It would have been glorious, but my husband doesn’t like flashy things. And he wanted to avoid drawing any attention from our day. My signatures can expire quite randomly, and the last thing we wanted was to be interrupted mid-service and get kicked out.”
“I told you I could have taken care of that,” Kevin says.
“I know, Paper Trail. But you know Jack-Jack. He’s a goody-two-shoes.” I turn back to Rugrat, who’s glaring at me now. “So, yeah. I got married at city hall. Sue me. It was still fun. And we had the reception at my new apartment, the penthouse in Central Park Diamond, thank you very much. So yeah. My dreams are finally real.”
Rugrat huffs.
Kevin coughs again.
“Thank you, Paper Trail. I mean, all our dreams are becoming real. Lily got her job back and the school board members found themselves without jobs all of a sudden. I wonder how that happened.” I glance at Kevin, and we both snigger. “Zeke doesn’t need my help. He’s a big guy who can take care of himself. And so can Annie. Brandon decided to cry on camera, so now he’s a big TikToker that everyone tries to make laugh and feel good. And Robin? Robin has joined my criminal empire. They’re my intel person. Aren’t they?”
Kevin nods.
“They’re very good at unearthing information. They might not be able to use the internet to hack things, but give them a thread, and they can pull the heck out of it. Oh gosh, look at me. I’m saying heck now too. Did you know when you’re a couple, a married couple actually, you start copying each other. You become this mesh of both your personalities that you forget where one starts and the other ends? But I like it. It’s cute when Jack swears. Isn’t it?”
“It’s funny,” Kevin agrees.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Don’t tell Jack, but his exes have mysteriously found themselves in debt. I wonder how that happened.” I laugh and shush Rugrat. Kevin giggles too. “That should teach them for breaking my man’s heart.”
“If they hadn’t, you wouldn’t be married now,” Kevin says.
“Thank you, Paper Trail. You’re right. Anyway, what was I saying? Ah yes. I was saying my empire’s growing, and Robin discovered some very interesting things. About you.”
I point at Rugrat and twirl my pen in my hands as I approach the bound billionaire. He tries to lean away from me and call for help, but the handkerchief taped to his mouth isn’t helping.
“You forgot about me,” Kevin says.
“Oh shoot. I did. Well, Paper Trail here now owns this apartment, my old apartment, and he’s making money for a change. He’s got medical insurance, and he’s even found a doctor who thinks they can help him reverse the aging process. Did you know he’s barely thirty? I know, he doesn’t look it. Yet.”
“But I will.” Kevin peacocks a bit, and it’s so sweet to see him so happy.
“Damn right, you will. Now. Where were we, Rugrat?”
“Robin discovered?—”
