"And the fake IDs and guns," she reminded him. "If you add them all up together, surely you can see why that would make me think—-"
"—-I'm working for the FBI?" Ryu drawled.
"—-you're a mob boss?" she finished at the same time.
Oh.
Wait.
Did he just say what?
Epilogue
THE WEEKS THAT FOLLOWEDher discharge had Summerine feeling very much like a bride getting to know her groom for the first time. It was like having a new beginning for her marriage, now that there were no secrets between them.
She had always thought him the serious type, but Ryu turned out to be more wicked in the way he would do everything possible to make her blush. He would accept every interview request just to have the pleasure of seeing Summerine squirm or wince as he lazily dished out one outrageous compliment after another.
My wife is the hottest woman alive in my eyes,he had once told a reporter.
And of course, the reporter had no choice but to accept this, never mind if it was plain as daylight to anyone that the only time someone as ordinary as Summerine could be considered 'hot' was when she was running a fever.
Another thing Summerine hadn't expected was when her husband admitted to paying off her parents to keep their distance if they only meant to cause trouble.
I didn't stop them from visiting you. I only said it wouldn't be a good idea if they were to make you cry.
While it was both painful and sad to realize that her parents had chosen to stay away because of this, Summerine wasnotwithout hope. The way God had saved her had changed her life completely. She might not be able to change her parents' hearts, but God could if He so willed.
And so she would keep praying until that day happened.
But in the meantime...
Summerine was so,soexcited that her husband finally agreed to let her try his favorite sport. She had even bought herself the latest set of workout gear, with all the fancy features any athlete could hope for. A perfect fit for maximum airflow and flexibility. Shoes that increased one's agility and speed. And she even bought herself a smartwatch to track—-
Oh.
Her husband had finally joined her in his personal gym in the basement, but...why was he only dressed in a robe?
