THE NEXT MORNING CAME, AND THEY WERE READY TO FINALLY TELL HIM. They didn't realize that he already knew. It didn't help that Anthony wasn't very discreet when leaving her room this morning. He's never been good at being sneaky, so Vincent watching him try to tip toe out of the room was comical.
Right now, Victoria was pacing back and forth in her room. She had absolutely no idea how she was going to tell Vincent.
"Hey, I've been with your best friend behind your back for most of the summer?" She said to herself quietly, before face palming.
"I can't believe I said that," she muttered. "Okay, we can do this," she said to herself for a final time, taking a deep breath and walking out of her room.
Upon entering the kitchen, both Anthony and Vincent were already there. She shared a look with the former, who discreetly nodded in approval as she sat down.
"Vincent, we need to talk," she started. He looked up from his cereal, maintaining his always calm demeanor and smiled.
"You know I'll always listen. What's up?"
"Remember when you said that you'll always support me?" She asked tentatively. When he nodded, she took a deep breath. "I have a boyfriend, and I love him so, so damn much."
Vincent smiled knowingly, but nodded as if he didn't know.
"I love that for you, Victoria. Does he make you happy?"
"The happiest I've ever been," she gushed. "He treats me like I'm a queen."
"Good, as he should," Vincent said, nonchalantly patting Anthony's shoulder and went back to eating. The two exchanged a look, making him look up again.
"Anthony, you're my best friend. What would that make me if I didn't trust you with Victoria? If anything, I couldn't be anymore proud. You're an amazing guy, and I couldn't ask for anyone better for her."
Victoria got up and hugged her brother, smile never leaving her face. She exchanged a very elated look with Anthony, who had the same look in his eyes.
They made it.

"Marcus, what happened with your brother?"
Marcus Rodrigo, their four year old, shrugged his shoulders.
"You have no idea how Stephen got out of his crib?" Victoria gave him a knowing look, making him giggle and shake his head again as he continued to play with his two year old brother.
"No, mama!"
"Alright then," she shrugged. "I'll just tell daddy when he gets home."
He looked up at her and giggled again, making her smile. She saw so much of Anthony in her two boys, which made it so hard to even try to be stern with them. She knelt down to their level and began to play with their blocks with them.
"He's not big yet, darling. It isn't safe to take him out of his crib by yourself. Daddy and I don't want you two getting hurt, okay? So can we work on making better choices?"
He nodded. "Yes, mommy!"
She kissed his forehead and smiled. Just as she pulled away, Anthony came up the stairs, clad in his suit from when he had to go to the office. He put his finger to his mouth, indicating to Victoria not to acknowledge he was in the doorway yet.
He quietly snuck up behind the boys, both of them oblivious until the point he was tickling Marcus.
The laughter of her three favorite boys filled the room, making Victoria smile as she watched them. She couldn't be anymore happier.
Their life was absolutely perfect.

I'm not crying. My eyes are just sweating. And yes.. an early update. Wild.
Anyways, this is the end of Velvet! Thank you so much for your love and support. I combined the last chapter and epilogue because they were both like, kinda short?
I made a one shot book, because I don't know how to let things go lol. They will consist of all of the smut scenes here, along with new ones that I feel like writing. It will also contain the family tree and timeline, so as I add onto the series, be sure to check it out!
Book two, Silk, will be published 12/4/23, as I'm taking a small break to get motivated again. The first five chapters of course will be what's uploaded first, and it'll have the same update schedule as Velvet. Anyways, here's a blurb:
