Take on the world

14 - Epilogue

(Note: Hey, sooo, Take on the world is coming to an end, there isn't going to be a sequel, it's simply a stand alone book, however, I will possibly make it so you guys are happy with the ending, but this is potentially the last(?) chapter in this book, it's been a long time coming, I've known this was not going to be a long book, but hope you guys love it.)

Max smiled as he kissed VJ's head, "And that's how me and your mummy met, but she lives on in you, and you're aunt Clary helped bring you into this world for mummy and daddy, and I love you so much, my little lion." He spoke as he kissed her head of dark hair, before he headed inside his Monaco apartment, from where they had been on the balcony.

Max had finished telling her the story of how he had met her mother, and how they had married young, it had been three years since Cassie had died, and Max had finally begun to date again, he had fallen for his friend Kelly, she had a little girl the same age, if not a year and a but older than VJ, named Penelope with her ex Daniil Kyvat.

Kelly smiled as she saw Max with VJ, she knew that Max would never love her the way that he had loved Cassie and she was okay with that, she knew that Cassie was Max's first love, and you never forget your first love, she also knew how special the girl had ben, meeting her once at her and Max's wedding.

"She would be proud of how far you've come." Kelly spoke as Max smiled as he placed VJ down, letting her toddle around the room as he noticed how much she looked like Cassie, "I know, the more VJ looks like Cassie, the more I miss her, but I promised myself that I would tell VJ about her mother, so she would know her." He spoke as Kelly nodded her head as she kissed his cheek.

"You've done a pretty good job so far, and P loves Veej, calls her, her little sister, they're best friends for life, just like Cassie and Clary were." She spoke as she smiled.

2029 10 Years later

VJ rolled her eyes as she walked into the house she lived in with her dad, her step mum Kelly, her step sister P and her younger brother Casper. "Victoria-Jade Grace Verstappen! Don't roll your eyes at me." Max spoke as she turned to look at him, the 13 year old placing her hands on her hips, "Dad, just leave me alone, I don't want to talk to you." She spoke, before she left going to her room.

Max didn't realise that she was missing her mum, he hadn't realised that she had found the video that Cassie had made for her, when she was older, Max sighed as he ran a hand over his face, "I don't know what's going on with her." He spoke as Kelly smiled softly, "Just let her cool down, she'll talk when she's ready." She spoke as he nodded.

VJ was in her room, she looked at her computer screen, before she pressed play, she smiled softly as she saw her mum, she now knew what everyone said, when they would say she looked exactly like her mum.

"By the time you're born, I won't be here, but I always told your dad, if we had a girl her name was to be Victoria-Jade Grace." Cassie spoke as she sniffled, "I was sick for a very long time, your dad and I married young, but we had a good life together, even though we were only married for a few weeks." She explained, before she wiped her cheeks, "When you watch this, I'll be gone, but you have to go easy on your dad, he's trying his best, he wants the best for you, and so do I." She paused as she played with her rings.

"Being your mother, is the greatest gift I could ever have, but I need you to not be angry, or be sad, because I'm at peace, I'm happy, so you have to live for me, don't waste time, but most of all, find something you love to do and do it." She spoke as she smiled before she looked at the camera once more.

"There will never be enough time in the world, so take on the world."
