Regina got happy news that she was able to go home. She worried that she would have to go back to the clinic, but the nurse informed her that would be going home, not the clinic.

“I can’t believe I’m going home.” Regina said elated, as Jaden wheeled her out of her room and down the hospital corridor to the nurses’ desk to sign out.

“Well, milady.” Jaden said, as he held his hand out for her to grab, as he walked her out to his car and helped her get in.

Regina was quiet on the ride home, which made Jaden a little worried.

“Penny for your thoughts?” Jaden asked her, worried.

“I was just reflecting on my life the last few months.” Regina said, reassuring him.

“No regrets?”

“No regrets. Just thankful.” Regina said, as she held his free hand and squeezed it tight inside hers.

Regina and Jaden enjoyed each other’s company for the rest of the drive home to Regina’s apartment. Jaden pulled into Regina’s parking spot about 30 minutes later, and grabbed Regina’s bag while she headed inside her apartment.

Regina lay on her bed, thankful to be alive. Jaden lay down beside her as they both fell asleep in Regina’s bed, tired from the last couple days.

A few hours later, there was a knock on Regina’s door, alarming them both. It was the delivery boy, delivering Jaden’s surprise. Jaden completely forgot about the surprise he had delivered to Regina’s apartment on this day.

As Jaden signed the delivery boy’s pad, he tried to hide it from Regina. He didn’t want to stress her on her first day back, but Regina wanted to know what it was and took the box from Jaden, and opened it up to find a diamond stone with two garnet stones on each side.

“Oh, Jaden, it’s lovely.” Regina exclaimed.

“I totally forgot I had this delivered today.” As he got down on one knee. “Regina, I know this probably isn’t the right time, but will you…..”

“Yes.” Regina said ecstatically before Jaden could finish his proposal.

“But I didn’t finish my proposal?” Jaden said, who was met with happy kisses across his face.

“I don’t care.” Regina exclaimed. “I will marry you. As soon as possible.”

Regina and Jaden rejoiced in their happiness as someone watched from outside the window. Little did they know, their happiness would be short-lived?

The engagement party was in full swing as Jaden and Regina danced to Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” No one seemed worried and was oblivious to the danger that was about to take place at the party.

“Are you sure you want to marry me?” Regina whispered in Jaden’s ear.

But he wouldn’t get to reply when Parker’s mother came into the club brandishing a gun and waving it around the room.

“You!” Geri screamed at Regina as Jaden stood in front so Geri wouldn’t hurt her.

“What do you want!” Regina asked Parker’s mother.

“You killed my son!” Geri screamed. “And I’m here to make you pay!”

“It was an accident!” Regina tried to make Geri realize, but she was too distraught to see Regina’s point of view. She wanted to make Regina pay—no matter what!

Geri fired into the crowd of party guests, where she hit Jaden’s father, injuring him in the leg. As guests scrambled to help, Geri kept Regina at bay, preventing her from helping.

“No you don’t!” Geri yelled at Regina and held her back from helping.

“Jaden’s father needs help!”

“Let someone else do it!”

“You have bigger things to worry about!”

“Like you?!”

“Oh, yeah, Regina! That shot was just the tip of the iceberg of what I have planned for you!”

“You’re insane!”

“Well, when you’re son’s girlfriend kills your son, what you would do!”

“For the last time, Parker’s death….” Regina started to say, but was interrupted.

“It’s okay, mom, I’ll handle it from here.” Parker said, laying his hand on his mother’s shoulder as Regina took one look at him and went unconscious in Jaden’s arms.

“Parker?” Geri said, surprised to see her not-so-dead son.
