Ethan realized Tim knew everything and would keep it quiet. They’d become close over time. A week later, Sarah was set for discharge.
Ethan picked her up in his car, bringing flowers and champagne. As he waited, a taxi pulled up, and out stepped Robert.
Their eyes met, and Robert shouted:
“Well, look who it is! Back to driving? Who trusted you with that fancy car?”
“Good to see you too, Robert,” Ethan laughed. “It’s my car. Yours, though, looks like it’s begging for a mechanic.”
“No way.”
Just then, Sarah appeared with the babies:
“Sweetheart, you tired of waiting?”
“Nope, darling, I’d wait forever.”
Kissing Sarah, Ethan turned to Robert with a smirk:
“How’d you go from boss to driving a cab?”
He didn’t wait for an answer, though Robert mumbled something. They didn’t care—they were living the best moment of their lives.
A week later, Sarah visited the lawyers to thank them. Her company was hers again. Tim had fast-tracked the paperwork.
He’d also defended her in court, proving how Linda and Alex fraudulently stole her business. Sarah restored her reputation and stopped the company’s collapse. She and Ethan decided to run it together.
To keep his driving skills sharp, Ethan agreed to be her personal driver:
“Works for me—no need to hire an outsider.”
“Fine, love, but only part-time. The rest, you’re my assistant.”
Linda got the maximum sentence for fraud and went to prison. Alex, deemed an accomplice but cooperative, got probation.
No one heard from him again. He moved to a rural town to farm. Soon, Sarah and Ethan applied to get married.
The city hall expedited it, and they wed within a week. The old woman’s words came true—they had their celebration. Good thing Ethan didn’t reject his happiness.
They invited Betty and the hospital doctor to the wedding, having no one else to call. Sarah had no parents, Ethan was an orphan. They shared one fate.
The babies were given Ethan’s last name. He insisted, saying they shouldn’t grow up in a broken family. Sarah didn’t object, seeing her future only with him.
Her resilience was enviable. She’d endured so much without breaking. They pulled the company out of crisis.
It’s thriving now, bringing in profits. They replaced nearly the entire staff, who were steeped in hostility toward Sarah.
Ethan hired new employees, putting them through his vetting process. Sarah didn’t forget her dad, making time to visit his grave. He was buried next to her mom, at least that was fitting.
She stood by the headstone, crying. Fate had been cruel, but it also fixed its mistakes. Or maybe her parents, from beyond, helped her find love?
