Torn Apart (Jaele Fanfic)

Chapter 36

(Here it is. Final chapter. I was finished with it last week already, but decided to edit and stuff. Enjoy)

It seemed like a madhouse. Half-naked girls were prancing around, technicians and cameraman were all over the place. Riele was standing with her mother and sister, having a mini lunchbreak. She hadn't even seen or even heard from Jace for the past few days and she honestly didn't know if she had the strength to deal with him right now. Her mother and sister had flown over to come support her, and for now that was all she needed.

The media frenzy around her and Jace have died down a bit but now the focus has turned to Moretti.  Apparently he was now under investigation by the Italian Intelligence Service for fraud and money laundering. He was also under house arrest.
But even though things were calming down, the Jaele shippers were now on the uprise again. They were flooding social media and Riele couldnt open her phone without seeing stuff like "Is Jaele back??"
The press called them the new Mr and Mrs Smith.
Riele's mother found the whole thing hilarious.

Timeskip. Takes place at the end of the show.

Riele felt sad. The show was a roaring success. She had the world at her feet. The House of di Cento had a new star and European fashion gurus were in seventh heaven. Riele was standing on the runway with all her models. She wished that she had put on sunglasses, because the constant flashes going off was blinding her, but it still wasn't brighter than the smiles of her mother and sister. Right now they were standing up, chanting her name.

She felt tears of pride and happiness well up in her eyes. All sadness was momentarily forgotten. She could see some of her ex co-stars in the crowd too. Was that Beyonce?? The Queen Bey herself!

She was so lost in the moment that she didn't notice that someone was pushing through the models.

She was facing the crowd, smiling at her mother and sister and then she finally realised that something was happening when she saw her mother's eyes widened and heard a collective gasp go through the audience.

Suddenly they were on their feet screaming. She barely had time to register what was going on when somebody grabbed her around the waist from behind.

Her back connected with a hard chest and a familiar scent assaulted her senses. Suddenly her legs felt weak...she turned around shakily and came face to face with him.

"Jace... she whispered ...He was wearing an Armani suit that accentuated and complimented his lithe, toned body and gorgeous golden skin. He looked like the Prince Charming that young girl's dream of. He looked like the white knight in every lovestory ever written.  And as they gazed at each other, their eyes told the story of their love... A love that could not, would not be denied...ever again.

The voices of the euphoric crowd faded out.
"Riele...he groaned and lowered his face to hers and leaned in.
Her eyes closed as his mouth searched for and found hers.

The screaming went up a notch at that...but they were lost in their own world. Her hands went around his neck as her crushed her desperately tight against him. The blood rushed in his ears ... While their lips moved against each other as if they've been doing this forever.

He kissed her with all the longing and love that was kept bottled inside for so long. She felt him smile against her lips and felt her own heart surge with joy.
They finally had to come up for air and they just stood there in each other's arms, heads resting against each other. The next moment she almost fainted because Jace was suddenly on his knees before her.

The roof almost lifted this time, as the crowd went berserk.
From somewhere a microphone was shoved in his hands and he looked at the crowd shushing them. The noise slowly subsided . Her mother and sister was standing on the catwalk now...along with his dad, mother, brother and sister.. (when did they get here?)
Tears were cascading down her cheeks. "Baby, don't cry, he said softly. The crowd went "Awwww"
Now she was crying even more. She felt someone rub her back soothingly. It was her mom. His parents were also moving closer to her. Jace smiled up at her..eyes shining like the moon.

"Riele West Downs.. my love, my heart, my soul.
I have no words to describe how much you mean to me. But after years of being without your love, after years of stumbling on in the dark, God has shown me the way back to you and given me the strength and conviction to follow the path to my heart.. that is you, Riele. I've been suffocating Riele, slowly dying .. every minute without you was too long, too hard.
But, here I am. Here we are...amongst our family, amongst millions of witnesses and fans who adore you like I do.(screaming again).
And it is my honour to be able to ask you Riele West Downs, in the presence of God and everyone here; Will you do me the honorable and fulfill my heart's desire and become my wife?
Riele gasped and the audience screamed.
He shushed them again. "And the mother of my seven children?(laughter now).
The voices were chanting "YES, YES, YES...!"
She didn't hesitate ..
"Yes, Jace, I will marry you"
He was up on his feet in a flash and was swinging her round and round like she was a doll..
Their parents hugged one another and more than a few sniffles could be heard.

It sounded like a New Years Party inside the di Cento building.

"I love you,  I love you, I love you..
Jace and Riele was whispering over and over and over against each other lips.

EPILOGUE

The newlywed couple was lying in each other's arms in their honeymoon suite. Riele didn't know the woman's voice she heard that evening was actually their wedding planner. Jace had always planned to ask her to marry him at the show but decided that they should get married there too, so he wasted no time in getting their families in Venice and after the show. After the show they left their enthralled fans and flew to their wedding destination on an island close by.
Now, once again, the families were reunited and the children were playing together on the white sands.

Jace looked adoringly at his young bride, pulling her even closer to him. "I haven't smiled so much since our first date, Rie...my cheeks hurt.. he murmured against her neck.
She giggled and traced his toned abs.
"Are you happy, Rie? he asked.
"Oh Jace, you have made me the happiest woman on earth.  I can't believe it..I'm Mrs Jace Norman!! she squealed happily and looked again at the huge pink diamond on her finger.

Well, Mrs Norman... Remember what I asked you ..
"Hmm?"
"About our seven children??"he looked at her with a devilish look in his eyes.
"Oh come on, Jace,..seven...really?"
"That's right, wifey... Dawn,s ahead... So we better get cracking
She laughed as he pulled her in for a searing kiss...
