~EPILOGUE: 10 YEARS LATER~
~ROSE AND DIMITRI~
"Caroline breakfast!" I yelled while packing her lunch bag "Your sister takes forever to get ready." I told 6 years old Nathan before giving him a slice of apple. "Morning." Dimitri said, pulling me into a hug "Hi love." I said before giving him a kiss. "Where's Caroline?" I laughed at his question and he rubbed his forehead "Caroline Elizabeth Hathaway Mazur Ozera Belikov!" Dimitri yelled and Nathan giggled "Oh no!" Caroline came down the stairs brushing her hair and she glared at Dimitri "I said 5 minutes." Dimitri crossed his arms and said "That's what you said last week and then the week before that, you can't be late again young lady, the principal is tired seeing our face every week."
"I'm tired of seeing your faces as well." Caroline said grinning and I laughed "You are definitely my daughter!" I said and Dimitri shook his head "Carry!" Nathan whined and Caroline gladly picked him up "You are growing so fast bub!" Caroline said before eating her breakfast. "Hey I'll pick you up at 4pm,okay?" Caroline nodded her head and Dimitri frowned "Your classes are until 4pm?" I wiggled my eyebrows at him and he glared at me "Trevor huh?" Caroline blushed and said "Come on I can't be late you said it yourself the principal is tired of seeing your faces."
I gave Caroline the car keys and she went to the car with Trevor and their bags. "Trevor and Caroline?" Dimitri asked "Best friends....for now." I said smiling and he groaned "Caroline will follow your silly rule of no boyfriend until she becomes 18." I said drinking my water "Silly? It's not silly." Dimitri defended and I smirked at him "I don't know if you can remember but I became your girlfriend before I was 18 years old." he smiled widely at me and said "Of course I remember, I remember every detail of our relationship." I giggled and snuggled closer to him.
Beep Beep Beep
Dimitri and I laughed at what Caroline did and grabbed our bags before closing the door. We got in the car and Dimitri drove to the Academy. Once we arrived we parked the car and Caroline quickly kissed our cheeks before running since the Principal is waiting for her at the entrance of the main building "She's not late, she's actually 5 minutes early." I said shrugging before dropping Nathan off to his class.
"Wow, she's not late." I laughed and gave Principal Mia Rinaldi- Voda a hug. Kirova retired as principal 5 years ago and she is now part of the monarchy council. "How are you?" I asked and Mia shrugged staring at Owen who is playing with Nathan "My husband and my daughter died 7 months ago because of a stupid car accident and I still miss them, every single day. It's hard you know, waking up without the person whom I thought would be with me for the rest of my life." I rubbed Mia's back and she smiled "But I gotta be strong not just for me but for Owen as well, he misses Alexander and Diana so much. The Voda Clan checks up on me as well, I thought they would leave me but they didn't. They stayed with me, 3 Voda Family moved here you know so that they could be with me and Owen, I am so thankful for that."
"Mrs. Voda, Mr & Mrs. Belikov you are requested at the throne room." Igna said and we smiled at him "You could move in with us you know." Dimitri said "I know but I don't wanna leave the house, maybe a sleepover?" Mia asked and we nodded our heads "We got you Mia, I know you know that." I said and she smiled at me "Lord Ozera you requested our faces?" Mia asked and Christian laughed "Oh yes I did, sit."
~CHRISTIAN~
"Oh yes I did, sit." I said closing the laptop and placing my legs on the table stretching "I visited Alexander and Diana this morning by the way." Mia smiled and said "Beautiful flowers." I smiled at her and squeezed her hand "Want me to send some flowers to Your Majesty as well? Oh wait- that's right, she ghosted us." I gave her a small smile and she looked down "Sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." I shrugged and said "It's been 7 years since she left me, I've moved on and I think she has as well." Rose scoffed and said "I still don't get why you're choosing to stay and follow her orders, I'm so mad at her she left without saying anything, not even a single word."
To be honest though I don't even know why I chose to stay here, I could have left court with Trevor and live a normal life but my gut said no, maybe I'm still hoping that Lissa would return to me one day but I know that's impossible, she's never coming back, maybe I'll see her again in a different life but I know that won't be soon.
"So why did you summon us?" Dimitri asked "Queen Vasilissa Rhea Dragomir- Ozera has forfeited the crown, she placed me as her successor, the coronation will be in 2 weeks." I said and Rose dropped her glass "SHE DID WHAT?" Rose yelled and I bit my bottom lip "Do you know where she is? I want to talk to her now! She can;t just forfeit the crown and not say anything about it!" I sighed and said "I don't know where she is, I tried to call Jill but she's not answering her phone."
"Jill left with Eddie 3 years ago even Adrian and Mason don't know where they are." I said and Rose leaned back on her chair stressed, silently crying and Dimitri held her in his arms while Mia stared at her hands. "Lord Ozera, I'm sorry to interrupt but you are requested at the meeting room." Igna said and I sighed "Tell them I'm cancelling the meeting, move it to tomorrow afternoon instead." Igna nodded his head and we sat in complete silence.
After a few minutes Rose stood up and said "I gotta go, I have a meeting in 3 hours." I hugged her and Dimitri before letting them leave and once the door was closed Mia looked at me and said "Take me to her." I nodded my head and I told my guardians to leave me and Mia alone. Mia and I walked 30 minutes into the forest and I unlocked the gate to the tomb vault. We went in and I locked the gates. "Is this really the right decision?" Mia asked lighting up the candles and I stood in front of the stone table running my hands through the table, feeling every detail of the engravement "Rose can never know, no one can never know except us." I said
~LISSA~
Where do I begin? How can I justify myself for the actions I have done? The actions that I did that have hurt the people that I love? There's no justification for the pain I have caused. Maybe Viktor Dashkov is right, maybe I am not fit to be Queen, but at least I did something good before taking my last breath. I never wanted things to end this way but this must have been God's plan all along. London Institute served me well, it gave me a clearer perspective in my life. It healed me and gave me the peace I've been yearning for all my life.
You're also probably wondering did I come back after therapy? Yes, I did. Christian was so happy when I came back, I was happy, but some things aren't just meant to be. Christian wanted a child with me but I couldn't give it to him, I couldn't conceive one due to the cysts in my ovaries. It shattered his heart and I felt like I failed to be a wife for him, so I left again. I left without saying anything to our friends or to the council. I simply left a note "You deserve better." I stayed in London again, until Alexander came asking me to come back.
So I did, I left London again and went back to Portland 2 weeks after Alexander visited me, he even picked me up from the airport with his 4 years old daughter Diana. The drive back to court was smooth, until a deer came out of nowhere causing the car to fall off the cliff.
We were rushed to the hospital and while I was awake I begged the doctors to only call Christian Ozera and Mia Rinaldi. Yes, I was in the car accident as well. The doctors did everything they could to help Alexander and Diana but they were too far gone. Mia was devastated. I was devastated, if only I didn't come back. Alexander and Diana would still be alive and Mia could have gotten the happy ending she has always desired.
I remained at the hospital for 2 weeks until Rose came to the emergency room, an accident happened in work and her organs were slowly shutting down. Abe and Tasha couldn't save her in time since they were in Turkey, but then the doctors came saying I have a bleed in my brain and that I need another surgery, in that moment I knew that I won't make it out of that operation room alive, so I talked to my doctors that if I don't make it out, I want them to collect my organs and give it to Rose.
I talked to the head of the council Mrs. Conta about my decisions and what I want to happen in case I die and she respected my wishes. I spent every minute with Christian who's heart I broke again. Operation day came and the doctors operated on my brain, they tried to stop the bleed but I was already too far gone. They harvested my organs and gave it to Rose, it was an anonymous donor, if Rose knew I was the donor she would never accept it and she would never recover from my death.
Christian and Mia gave me a private funeral, here they are now running their hands through my gravestone. I miss them badly, I miss everyone, but what matters is Rose got the happy ending she has always wanted, I did something good in my life, the monarchy will thrive without me, Christian would do what is right and what is best for everyone, "I miss you my love." Christian said and I placed my hand on top of his even though he won't feel it "I miss you more."
One day my Christian, you and I would have the happy ending we deserve, but for now the monarchy needs you and our friends need you, you won't be alone. I promise you that, I would be with you every single step you make. I may be gone physically but I won't be gone spiritually, I would wait for you in the paradise I have made for us in my mind waiting for you until you come.
