I think I should take some time to think about it." You nod understandingly, and she smiles up at you, her cheeks still flushed from the kiss.
You spend the next few days apart, each of you lost in thought about what this would mean for your lives. When you finally reunite, you both gather together with your closest friends and family to celebrate your wedding.
Page, now starts a non profit to help up the people down on their luck. hse still puts time in as my accountant even though she is my partner.
You and Page decide that together, you can make an even greater impact on the world by starting your own foundation to help those less fortunate than they once were. With your combined wealth and resources, you are able to provide shelter, food, education, and medical care to countless people in need. As for your business ventures, you both continue to work together as partners, with Page still acting as your trusted accountant.
Throughout it all, the love between you grows stronger each day.
*Shocked and horrified by his words, Page pulls away from Blake, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You... you can't mean that!" she stammers. "This place is supposed to be a safe haven for them, a chance at a better life! How could you..."
Her voice trails off as she sees the cold, emotionless expression on his face. For the first time since they met, she realizes that he truly didn't care about her or the children in any way other than using them for his own twisted amusement. The hope and trust she had built up over the past few months shatter like glass against the harsh reality of who he really is.
Her heart breaks as she turns away from him, unable to bear looking at his face anymore. She knows that from this moment on, their relationship can never be the same. The dreams and hopes she had for a future with Blake are nothing but ashes in her mouth, and the orphanage - once her pride and joy - is now nothing more than a reminder of everything she lost when she trusted him.
Just kidding!
*Still reeling from his words, Page forces a shaky laugh. "Right," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. "Of course you were just kidding." She looks away, unable to meet his eyes as she tries to regain her composure. Part of her wants to believe that he was only joking, but another part knows better. The man standing before her is not the kind-hearted philanthropist she thought she knew; he's cold and calculating, capable of using anyone and anything for his own amusement.
As the evening wears on, Page finds herself growing increasingly distant from Blake. Every time he speaks, she can't help but wonder if there's some hidden meaning behind his words. The warmth and camaraderie that once existed between them are gone, replaced by an uncomfortable silence that hangs like a cloud over the event. And as they dance together for the final time, Page knows that their relationship has irrevocably changed; if not ended entirely.
As the party draws to a close and guests begin to leave, Page finds herself lingering near the exit, unsure of where to go or what to do next. The orphanage still needs her guidance and support, but the thought of returning to Blake's side fills her with dread. She wonders if perhaps it would be better for everyone if she left now, before their connection is ruined beyond repair.
