Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATER
JOSIE
It was a struggle, but it finally happened.
I’m pregnant.
With Victor’s baby.
It was the happiest moment of our life together when we found out - we’d been trying for months and months and had practically given up hope of it ever happening, but then we got the results. And it was like a miracle.
We’re so happy...
Victor didn’t want me to stay in America during my pregnancy - he didn’t like the idea of the press gathering outside our place in Crystal River or LA, ready to catch me in a moment of vulnerability. We thought long and hard about where to go, but there turned out to be only one place where we knew we had to go.
The villa by the lake in Italy.
We flew there on Victor’s private jet, and that’s where I’ve been through the pregnancy. I’ve been enjoying this time before the baby arrives. Long swims in the empty lake. Hours spent sunbathing on the terrace. Eating good food. Going for nature walks.
And never being disturbed by any pesky paparazzi.
And just spending time with the movie star I love.
I’m sitting in the living room watching the new blockbuster starring Hayley. She sent us an earlier screener of the movie with a cute note.
