Chapter 116 Epilogue Part 2

• Smiles, tears, disappointments, and the deep love found in Simon's arms passed through her mind as the distance to the church was overcome. She was fully aware that she was no longer the same woman hired to be Simon's housekeeper. Now she had her own company, which, after two months of intense renovation, had opened its doors and secured its first clients. She had married a man who loved her intensely, so crazy about her that, once again, he had invaded her room the night before. And with him by her side, she would achieve several other dreams.
• When the limousine stopped in front of the cathedral, she was ready and eager to seal - once again - her life with Simon's. And have her second chance to undress the groom, she remembered, her cheeks warming at the thought and an intense smile adorning her rose-painted lips. Paola handed her the bouquet of white orchids with purple centers before leaving and positioning herself for the entrance. Paulina circled the reliquary on the stem of the flowers, threw the translucent veil over her face, and accepted her father's outstretched hand with a smile.
• With measured steps, Paulina followed to the altar, smiling and discreetly waving to her friends seated on her side. As her relatives were reduced to four people (father, sister, uncle, and cousin), she invited her employees and the friends she had made throughout that year. She saw Amara at the end of a row, who quickly waved, smiling, her hands moving a handkerchief back and forth across her face to contain the tears. A few chairs ahead, Isaque, who had agreed to work for her, whistled and winked at her, taking an elbow from his wife, who ordered him to be quiet and wished Paulina good luck. Even the broker Vasques was present, alongside his son and grandson, increasing the vibrations of happiness that surrounded Paulina with each step.
