The celebration wasn't over until midnight , everyone slowly made their way home.
Ivanie sat on the couch exhausted, her eyes barely willing to stay open, her mother kissed her goodbye also making her way home.
She was left alone with Vlad who bid the guest bye.
He walk over to her and picked her off the couch carrying her up to her room.
Ivanie slurp tiredly turning to mushroom in his arms.
He place her on the bed and cozy up close to her, Ivanie snuggled up against him.
"Thanks Vlad" she said to him.
"For what....." He mumbled to her hearing.
"For today " Ivanie replied sleepily.
"Don't thank me, you deserved the best" Vlad told her kissing the top of her head.
He held her more closely and closed his eyes.

Britney jolted awake she look over at Malachi who cradled her in his arms, he seem very peaceful when he sleeps.
She got up slowly covering her self and climb off the bed to get her things.
Looking Malachi for the last time she stepped out the room.
Mr Shanks has his head buried in some files on the desk back at home, Mr Shanks made her way into his office.
He look up to see her walk into his office with a frown.
"You really didn't show up at the celebration today did".
"It went well, my presence wasn't very much needed." He replied her.
"Do you know what is going on in your daughter life Shanks? Do we have to argue about this everyday, I can't keep covering up for you, Ivanie needs you, you barely shower her with your fatherly love" Mrs Shanks said.
"Don't drag this matter, I have a severe headache," Mr shank said taking off his glasses, he rub his temple.
"Why? have you ever cared about what happens to our daughter and I, after all you never really loved me if it wasn't for the miserable arrangements between the families there wouldn't have been a relationship to begin with !!!" Mrs Shanks shouted.
"Enough woman what is the reason for all this nonsense you are uttering".
"Shank I have tried believe me I have tried to under you, to be obedient all for this family prosperity but what did you give me in return? Endless pain and suffering, you couldn't be a good father back then and now you are still not making up for it, instead you are watching over your bastard children you had with your mistress nineteen years ago". Mrs shanks said.
Mr shank back stiffen, when ever the matter was brought up it remind him of the past.
"You ungrateful bastard you are nothing but a total bastard....."
