Epilogue: The Last Scandal – In which they draw up a betrothal contract
Hindi alam ni Cassandra kung paano sasabihin sa asawa niya yung balita, ou masaya siya sa nalaman niya pero haggang ngayon hindi niya alam kung paano ito sasabihin kay James.
Gusto niyang masopresa si James ng sobra, alam niyang sasaya rin ito sa balita niya. Ilang taon din ba nilang plinano to at ngayon eto na.
She was pregnant. Yung mga pagpunta niya at ni James sa Obando, Bulacan para magdasal na magkaanak kasama sila Veronica at Somerset ay gumana na sa wakas. Buntis na siya. Masaya siya dahil sobrang tagal na niya talaga itong hinintay pero hindi sympre mawawala yung kaba at takot na baka may mangyaring masama at mawala na naman ang baby niya.
Pinuntahan na ni Cassandra si James sa study kung nasaan ito ngayon, binuksan niya ang pinto at pumasok, sinara niya ang pinto. Tinignan siya ni James pero diretso lang siya sa may desk nito at nilagay ang PT sa tuktok ng desk.
Tinignan lang ito ni James ng saglit bago ito tumayo at lumapit kay Cassandra. Agad nitong niyakap si Cassandra t nagsisigaw, “Thank you.” paulit ulit nitong sabi kasama ang, “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
At masaya nilang pinagdriwang ang pagbubuntis ni Cassandra.

Today, they found out that Cassandra was carrying a girl. They were both so happy with it though they’d still be happy for a boy but a girl, that was what they had always wanted. Not to replace their little angel that died years ago but because it was just a girl seemed to be perfect for them.
Magkakasama sama sila nila Anya at Roderick sa garden ng estate, bumibisita yung dalawa sa kanila dahil nga nalaman nilang buntis si Cassandra.
“I know!” Anya spoke, they all looked at her, “Alexi should marry your little girl, Cass!”
“That’s ridiculous Anya.” Cassandra said chuckling.
“No it’s not! It’s a way for us to finally be a family one day. It’s perfect.”
“I agree with Anya, it is perfect.”
And that was how they agreed upon that Alexi would marry the first daughter of Cassandra and James.

“Are we really sure about this?” tanong ni Cassandra habang hawak hawak ang pen para pirmahan yung betrothal contract na inihanda ng mga lawyers nila.
The contract stated that Crown Prince Alexi would marry the eldest daughter of the Lord and Lady Rosslyn when they both reach of age. Dowries were settled along with everything else. It was all drawn up to the betrothal contract.
