“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” I repeat, whispering against his chest, as I wrap my arms around him and squeeze him as tightly as I can. I sob into his chest for a few minutes, and he wraps his arms around me, making me feel completely whole.

“Can Luke come with us?” I finally ask Roman, pulling away from his now soaked shirt.

“Of course. Xander wants him to work with Ivan. I’m thinking he can come and stay with us until we find him a place of his own.” I’m a little taken back why Xander would want Luke to work with Ivan but I’ll ask him later. All I care about right now is having Luke back in my life.

“Is that what you want?” I swing around to look at Luke, who is smiling.

“I want to be wherever you are Sophie. You’re my sister, my only family.”

I can’t believe how this day started out with so much pain and worry and somehow ended up with so much joy and happiness. My heart is so full right now.

“I love you baby and I promised you that I would make things right. I promised you that he would pay for what he did, and I trust me...he paid.”

I kiss him, knowing I don’t need all the gory details. Roman always has been my knight, my guardian, my savior.

Ivan enters the room a moment later, knocking against the french doors that lead into the living room. “You guys want a drink?” He lifts a thick brow, and Roman and Luke move their gazes to him.

“Of fucking course I do,” Roman answers.

Luke merely shrugs. “Sure. I’ll take a soda. I’m not much for liquor or beer.”

“I’ll miss you,” I tell Elyse while I hug her as tight as I can. “But I am so happy for you.”

“And I am happy for you, so happy you found Roman. I’ll come and visit you soon, I promise. Roman already told Hero that we are more than welcome to come and stay at your place.”

“Really? I’m surprised they get along so well now. Could have fooled me after that first night.” Elyse and I laugh. Oh, does it feel good to just laugh with my sister. I give her one last squeeze before releasing her. We say our final goodbyes, thanking Xander and Ella for their hospitality, and walk up the small stairwell leading up to Xander’s private jet he insisted we use to get back home.

I fall into the plush leather seat once we are inside the jet. Roman takes the seat next to me and I snuggle up, and into his shoulder right away. I close my eyes almost drifting off to sleep when Roman’s voice rings in my ear.

“I need to tell you something.” My heart starts to beat out of chest. I’m not sure what more he could have to tell me that he hasn’t. “I’ve been thinking about not telling you, but I love you too much to keep anything from you.”

“What is it?” My back straightens as I peer up at him. His green eyes glimmer and I sense a nervousness rolling off of him.

“You weren’t the only one Joseph did this to. There were other girls he took in just to sell later. There was a whole list of them. Some of them have been sold in the past and some of them were still to be sold at a future date. I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want you to worry, but I feel like you should know. You grew up there, and most likely knew the girls.”

“What’s going to happen to them now?” I blurt out.

“I’m not sure exactly but I know Xander is going to make sure they all make it somewhere safe. No one will ever be sold again in the two territories ran by my brother and Xander and we’ll do what we can to stop it from happening in nearby territories as well.”

I nibble on my bottom lip. There’s nothing for me to say. I have the greatest man ever. I got to see Elyse, after thinking she was dead, and found out Luke who I considered to be a brother is actually my twin brother. An entire cult was brought to the ground today, and I can’t feel a single thing but happiness.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay you,” I whisper leaning into his lips.

He grins at me. “Oh, I think we can come up with a payment arrangement.” His tone is seductive, and sparks of pleasure zing through me.

“No fucking on the furniture,” Ivan teases, and my cheeks heat at his accusation. As if we would actually do that right here in front of everyone.

“We wouldn’t,” I say.

Just as Roman says, “We will.”

Ivan and Roman burst out into laughter at the same time while Violet and I all but roll our eyes. My gaze moves over to Luke who is sitting in a window seat, his eyes are glued to the window. I snuggle deeper into Roman’s side knowing there is no way this could get better.
