Hello, hello my lovelies!

So...it's been a while. Please forgive me...and I hope you still remember me.

I wrote a little announcement many days ago, but in case you didn't see it, here's a summary. My life's been crazy for the past several months. At first it was writer's block, then mental health struggles, then just being busy, then courses, then a multi-week trip, another course, a wedding (not mine lol), and preparing for another upcoming wedding (my brother's). Things are finally starting to settle down and I'm so thankful for that.

But I'm also thankful for all of you readers who haven't forgotten about me and this book and bless you for still hanging around.

Please don't forget to vote and comment, because I love reading the little things you have to say.

I do hope this chapter makes up for all this time I've been missing though. It's a long one!

So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this one, my darling rosy tulips (gosh I missed saying this) 🌷

Serenity.

The past couple of months have gone by incredibly fast.

Our trip to London was beyond successful, and I don't think I've ever seen Harry happier since. It was like a massive weight had lifted completely off his shoulders.

I would imagine so, because it mainly had to do with Harry's father; he hadn't heard from him since that day.

What surprised me was when Harry contacted Valentina and met with her for coffee the day after we arrived. He told me to come with him, and I didn't know who we were meeting until she arrived. Apparently, he wanted to tell her what happened with Eric in person. Seeing him wasn't something she ever expected him to do. The way that Harry told her, "he doesn't have a hold on you anymore," made tears fall down her cheek.

He also grabbed her hand to squeeze it when he saw how emotional she got.

Harry began to have the true family he's always wanted.

"Thank you, Harry."

There was so much pure gratitude with her reply.

It was easy to say that he was beyond content that day, and I also had to stop tears from falling from my eyes when I saw him like that. It was such a heartwarming time, and I did everything in me so I wouldn't cry.

Exactly a month later, he invited her and Estela over for dinner — Mateo wasn't in the mix because Harry was still a bit petty with Mateo, and I didn't blame him. He had every right to be upset with him.

He also knew that Mateo wasn't on my list of favourite people because of how he treated him for that Christmas dinner. He was a "right fucking prick." Harry's words, not mine.

What surprised me was when Harry called his father to tell him that he was now a multi-billionaire. I was still stunned and taken off guard by how rich he was. It wasn't the first time — one being on New Year's Eve, but that was in a different context.

I did annoy him a tad further with one of my favourite nicknames for him: rich bitch.

Which in all honesty, it should now be richest bitch.

He seemed to take it well that time, just grinning widely, so proud and happy.

Harry was also very surprising with multiple things after that freeing day; he also gained more confidence in the bedroom.
