Owned By a Greek god

A MONTH LATER

**** RYAN P. O. V ****

IN CALIFORNIA

We put our bags down in front of the new apartment that Jason had already bought for us. Anna looked at me, and I held her hand and kissed her right in front of the house.

Due to the bullet I took, I couldn’t stand on my own for a month. Trust me, I’ve been through hell.

Agnes has helped me, though. She kept doing what she was good at, kept believing in me, and never gave up.

I want nothing more than to be with her for the rest of my life. When I opened the door to the mansion with Agnes, I saw Jason and Melina in the living room, smiling big.

He gave me a hug and said, “Welcome to California, brother.” Melina went to give Agnes a hug.

Agnes laughed and said, “I can see your stomach is already big,” and Gracie nodded and laughed, too.

Melina hugged me and said, “I’m so glad to see you back on your feet, Ryan. I missed you.” I hugged her back.

“How is my baby?” I asked as I looked at her stomach.

She said, “She missed you, too,” and we all laughed.

“Now that we’re all back together, we need to have dinner. All of the Emersons should be in the same place. At last, there are no more worries, and we can be happy,” Agnes said, and we all smiled.

“We’ve already told them that, and I’ve made different kinds of food for them to eat tonight,” Gracie said with a smile, and we all laughed.

Agnes told her, “I’ll meet you in the kitchen,” and they both went there. When I looked at Jason again, we both smiled.

I said, “Look who’s going to be a dad,” and we all laughed.

“I can’t run away from the people I love the most, so I’m going to be a husband, father, brother, and friend,” he said, and my happiness knew no bounds.

It was like a miracle to hear him say those things.

“What do you plan to do about Been a husband?” I asked. He looked around to make sure they weren’t nearby.

He pulled out the ring and said, “I’m going to ask her to marry me at dinner.”

“Oh my god, Jason, that’s so brave of you to finally take responsibility! Hun?” I asked him, and he happily nodded.

“Yes, brother. I don’t think I need anything more than having her in my life for the rest of my life,” he said, and I saw his eyes get hot.

“I’m glad to hear that from you, Jason,” I told him. “My little brother is finally growing up.”

“And what about you, big brother? You should get married before me, or even have a family before me,” he said, and I smiled.

“I do have a family now,” I told him, pulling out a piece of paper from my pocket and handing it to him.

He asked with a smile, “What is this?”

I said, “It’s up to you to find out. Open it up.” He started to open the paper, and I could see a big smile on his face as he read.

“Agnes is a month pregnant?” he asked in shock. “Yes,” I said with a laugh, “she is.”

I told Jason, “You won’t be the only one starting a family soon,” and he hugged me.

“That’s great news, brother,” he said. “If this happens, you should get two proposals tonight.” I nodded.

“I made sure of that,” I told him, pulling out a small box from my pocket to show him.

“Always one step ahead, Hun?” he asked. I gave him a wink and a shoulder shrug.

“I wish my mother was here to see this. She would be the happiest mother on earth, you know,” he said sadly, and I sighed and bowed my head.

“Mother, wherever she is now, will be happy and proud of us. Don’t worry, little brother,” I told him, and he nodded.

Melina and Agnes said, “The food is ready to eat, so we can save the brotherly talk for later.” We smiled and stood up.

I looked at Jason and said, “I can’t wait to eat this dinner!” He laughed, too.

As we walked toward the table, I held Agnes’ hand and Jason held Melina’s.

“Hmm,” I said, “I love what I see and understand.” Agnes smiled.

She told me, “Don’t get too excited until you try it,” and I nodded. Melina was sitting next to Jason, and Agnes was next to me.

**** MELINA P. O. V ****

When we started to eat, my cheeks hurt from how much I blushed. I am so happy that my best friend Agnes is going to be a mom soon.

I have the best boyfriend in the world. I’m also glad that she won’t have a premature birth like I did.

When Jason told me that, I didn’t feel like myself for three days. I couldn’t think straight, and I felt sorry for my baby who wasn’t even born yet.

But he kept telling me it would all be okay. She will be kept warm, and after two months, she will be fine.

I just don’t know if I can stay in the hospital for two months while she is hooked up to a machine. What should I do? It’s the only way to make sure the baby will be healthy.

“Melina,” I heard Jason say. That woke me up.

“Hey.” I said smiling.

He said, “You looked lost. Are you okay?” and I said, “Yes.”

“Of course I am. I was just thinking about our lives again,” I told him, and he smiled.

Ryan asked, “Where does our ruggard live?” and I laughed.

“Almost that, all in all,” I said, and Jason reached out to hold my hand.

“Don’t worry, Melina. We’re all safe now,” he told me, and I smiled and nodded.

Even though we are safe now, we will keep hurting because Jason killed innocent people, and that is affecting our baby too.

But I won’t stop loving him or staying away from him because of that. I love him, and I’m willing to stand by him no matter how dangerous and dark his past was.

As we kept eating, Ryan reached for his cup, lifted it up, and hit it with his spoon.

He said, “I want it to be more official,” which made us all laugh.

He told Agnes and me, “Today is one of the happiest days in the lives of the Emerson Brothers. We’ve found the people we want to spend the rest of our lives with.”

“Not only with them, but also with our unborn children. There is no greater joy than this,” he said, and Jason nodded while holding my hands.

He said, “So, we want to make this official. We want it to be permanent, and we don’t want you to leave.” I furrowed my brows, trying to figure out what he meant.

“Agnes,” he said as he dropped to his knees.

“OMG,” Agnes and I said together. I looked over and saw Jason holding a box out to me.

When he opened it, I saw a lovely ring inside. As soon as I saw the ring, my eyes got very hot. It was beautiful.

“Melina, I don’t have much to say, but I know I never want us to end. Will you…” he started, but before he could finish, I heard a gunshot, which scared and surprised me.

I watched Jason die in his own blood.

“Jason!!!” I yelled as I got on my knees next to him. I was so surprised that that was all I could remember.
