The Silencer: A Bad Boy MMA Romance (39 page)

As promised, as soon as we got off the boat, Liam was on the phone with the wedding designer. There was going to be some things we’d have to do in order to get married legally. The first thing we needed to do was get in touch with the American Embassy for a marriage license that would be recognized in the United States. Normally, we would have to live in France for 40 consecutive days before we could get married there but Liam was able to contact some people and pull some strings.

By that evening, the two of us had exchanged vows and were officially husband and wife. The ceremony was small and quaint. It took place right outside a little cafe and we had someone snapping some pictures for us. We’ve decided to hold off on telling anyone. Liam still wants to give me a big wedding in the states and I’m excited about that. Even if this little ceremony was all we had, I’d still be a happy woman for the rest of my life.

EPILOGUE

Lexi

Sarabelle and Christian are the only ones who know that Liam and I got married in Paris last year. Some people suspect it, especially since I refuse to take the huge rock off my finger, but we keep promising that a wedding is coming. I’m sure it will at some point but he seems to want it more than I do. I’m happy just having him. He thinks I need all of these amazing things like a big wedding with beautiful gowns and lots of food but all I need is him and one day he’ll see that.

Watching my sister walk down the aisle on her wedding day was the second happiest day of my life. It’s always been her dream to find the perfect man to settle down with. I have to admit that I was a little surprised when she told me she was dating Christian Wilde.

Okay, I was more than a little surprised. I was stunned. He’s always been the playboy who collected women like it was a hobby. I asked her all the time if she was sure that he was what she wanted. He was the bad boy and the bad boys can never change. At least, that’s what I used to think.

Being with Liam has taught me that you can’t always judge a book by its cover. I always assumed Liam was just an all-around nice guy. A little geeky, sure, but nice. Never in a million years would I have dreamed that he had such a dark side to him.

I love that he can turn it off and on whenever he wants. There are some nights when I love that side of him and I want him to punish me and make me his little bad girl. Other nights, I want to lay beneath him while he kisses me and makes love to me slowly. Whichever mood I’m in, he has no problem giving me what I want.

There is no better example of someone being able to change than me. I was always the bad girl and didn’t have any intention of changing. I didn’t care what anyone thought of me and I was going to do whatever I wanted, regardless of who I had to step on to do it. Liam coming along changed something in me. He showed me that my bad girl persona was not who I really was.

I was hiding my true self underneath layers because I was scared to get hurt. He came along and showed me that not only could someone love me, but that I deserved to be loved. I owe him a lot of gratitude for putting the good girl back into me. I’ll love him forever for that.

At Sarabelle’s wedding reception, my sister came up to me with Christian by her side to whisper in my ear that she was pregnant. She was going to be making an announcement near the end of the reception but she wanted to make sure that I was the first person who knew.

She’d only found out about two weeks prior and wasn’t showing yet. I gave her a hug and cried, something that I would have never done in public before. I was going to be an aunt and I was very excited.

“There’s one other thing I wanted to talk to you about,” Sarabelle said. “We’re not going to go on our honeymoon to Christian’s villa.”

“What? Why not? It’s so beautiful in the Alps!”

“I know, but we’re both so tired from all this wedding stuff. I don’t feel like flying anywhere and would rather spend some quality time with him at home. I also don’t want the tickets to go to waste and know that you and Liam haven’t gotten a honeymoon. We’d like to give you our tickets so you guys can get away and enjoy yourself.”

“Are you serious?” I asked as she handed to tickets over to me. “You’re the best. I love you so much!” I said, hugging her once again. “Come on, you guys had your first dance. Now you get to dance with your sister.”

The rest of the night was spent partying and celebrating with my sister. For so long, we’d been two entirely different people. We had our own sets of friends and rarely did we ever do anything together.

Yet, in the end, we were closer than we had ever been before. The good girl and the bad girl, more alike than anyone ever dreamed we could be. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
