TORMENTS OF LOVE ❤️

CHAPTER 21 (EPILOGUE)

ACE'S SANTOS POV

"You did the right thing, i am proud of you Ace." Amber states. "Chloe is so happy to have met her mom." She is right.

"Thank you." I smile before sipping my coffee.

"I am sure Ingrid would understand." She adds up as if sensing my worries.

"Really?" I ask curiously. She nods and shrugs.

"She just needs some time." She makes a point.

"Mhh okay if you say so... And where have you been the whole day?" I ask her curiously.

"Well..." she stammers before heaving a deep sigh. "I went to bid my farewells to my cruel of a dad and guess who i meet there. Mariano." My eyes widen in shock. Mariano? I thought the guy died in the accident.

"What? Mariano?" I ask with shock.

"I know it's shocking or rather surprising but turns out he survived the accident...." she starts explaining.

INGRID'S POV

"She is everything i ever dreamed off." I say while watching my daughter sleeping beside me on the hospital bed. She never wanted to leave me.

According to Melon, Ace sent over her nanny to look after her and some set of clothes and other stuff.

I still can't believe she is here with me; she is beautiful, adorable and very smart for her age.

"I am glad to see you happy Ingrid. You deserve it." Melons says happily.

"Thank you, best friend, for being here with me and for always being there when ever i needed you." I state with tears flowing down my face.

She comes and wipes my tears away before hugging me.

"I will always be there for you, bestie."

The next day, as i am having my lunch by the help of Melon of-course, we hear a knock from the door, and I wonder who that might be.

"I will check it out don't worry." Melons states before going to answer the door.

"Someone is here to see you, Ingrid." I furrow my eyebrows confused.

"Hi Ingrid." Amber? What is she doing here? Not that I hate her presence, but I am just surprised. She is holding a bunch of red roses flowers on her hands and a paper bag.

"Amber..." i state with utter disbelief. She smiles.

"I will just go get some water." Melon excuses herself before leaving us alone. I roll my eyes at her lame excuse i know she just made that up. I shift my gaze back to Amber and smile at her.

"Please welcome." I tell her sweetly pointing at the chair beside me.

"These are for you." She says referring to the flowers, how sweet of her. She hands me the flowers and i smell them in... So fresh!

"How sweet of you Amber, thank you so much."

"You are welcome... and i also got you this." She refers to the paper bag she is holding.

"Someone told me how much you love mac and cheese so i decided to make one by myself." Awee! I am literally in shock. Could it be Ace who told her?

"Omg, i love you already." I state excitedly making her chuckle. Then oh! I realize what i just said and oh my God! I am such a foodie...

"Thank you, Amber, it means a lot." I say seriously and she waves me off.

"Dont mind Ingrid. How are you feeling now?" She asks concerned. I smile, "I am feeling way better." I tell her. She smiles and wait... i see tears down her face oh no!
