Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return

Another year passed.

"Winfield, do you take Sarah to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?" The officiant asked.

Looking into his wife's eyes, Winfield Davis answered, "I do."

After the priest asked the same Sarah Davis, she smiled back at her husband and answered, "I do."

"May your love be eternal and undying. In witness of your love and commitment, it is now my pleasure to introduce you to those present here as husband and wife. In honor of your entrance into holy matrimony, you may now kiss the bride," the officiant closed, encouraging Sarah and Winfield to face the crowd.

Smiles could be seen between Winfield and Sarah as they officially remarry after a year of moving to their new home.

Cheers and hoots could be heard, coming from their friends and family who came to witness their second marriage.

"A five-minute kiss, Mom!" Encouraged Samantha, who sat at the front rows.

"Go for it, Sarah!" Hooted Amanda while giving a clap.

It did not take long for Sarah and Winfield to lock lips, sealing their renewed vows.

While the adults were encouraging Sarah and Winfield, the children had their eyes closed. Kate and Kaleb, on the other hand, were utterly oblivious.

The entire time, Samantha was teary-eyed for her parent's decision to have another wedding ceremony on their anniversary.

She felt so nostalgic, seeing her mother wearing a beautiful wedding gown, exchanging vows again.

Samantha felt, indeed, the love of her parents had finally been rekindled. It was a long process, but ultimately, they made it back into each other's love.

For the past year, Samantha and Ethan helped Sarah put up a cake shop from inside the First Diamond Hotel. Winfield, having retired, was Sarah's number one supporter, helping her manage the shop. Sarah's number one customers were her own grandchildren.

Following their decision to live at the hotel, it became a daily routine for Kenzie and Kyle to stay with their grandparents after school, only to come home with Samantha at the end of the day or with Ethan. Winfield and Sarah's newfound love was not the only thing that went well throughout the year.

The Wright Diamond Corporation's theme park in Braeton was a massive success! It became the most visited theme park resort on the entire coast. Profit was skyrocketing for the company, and Ethan could not be more proud of his accomplishment.

In everything, Ethan attributed it all to have a wonderful family; a loving and supportive wife and parents, plus he claimed to be driven by the smiles of his children.

Like Ethan, Samantha also brought the First Diamond Hotel to new heights. While it was still under review in getting a Michelin Star rating, the property's restaurants had become popular for their mouth- watering dishes.

Ethan also opened a branch at the theme park, allowing tourists to have a taste of Samantha's dishes.

Samantha and Ethan ultimately decided that four kids were enough. They were happy and contented and thus, proper family planning was now in place. The couple's only challenges, as of recently, were dealing with their new twin's tantrums and demands, as well as coping with their busy schedules.

Still, it was fortunate that Samantha technically worked for her husband. It was easier to leave work and find him, allowing them quality time in between. Other than that, life had been blissful for Samantha and Ethan. They could not ask for anything more.

With all this in mind, Samantha

could not control the tears that were

flowing down her face. She

delighted in watching the love from

her parents and thinking about the blessings she had received

Ethan put an arm around Samantha and asked, "Honey, are you okay? This is your parent's wedding, not ours."

Samantha chuckled and wiped the wetness on her face. She said, "Hon, I want us to have our vows renewed like this -Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"We will. I'm planning on it... in one of our future wedding anniversaries," said Ethan with a smile. "If only it were feasible, I'd marry you again and again, every year." She wound up scoffing and told, "You are silly. It doesn't have to be every year. Besides, we always celebrate our anniversary and I like the fact that you never forget." "Oh, I won't ever forget, honey. You know how I like surprising you," Ethan proudly revealed. "Mark my word, on our 5th year anniversary, I will surprise you." "Well, since you told me, I won't be surprised anymore," Samantha answered, rolling her eyes.

With a grin on his face, Ethan answered, "Oh, I doubt that."

Another two years passed.

Ethan established The Second Diamond Hotel on another location in Braeton and it was there where Samantha reported for work one day.

The Hotel's General Manager (GM) approached her as she entered the hotel, telling her, "Mrs. Wright, did Mr. Wright tell you that both of you will be posing as models for the hotel?"

Samantha frowned and said, "What? Me? A model?"

"Well, basically, the Wrights. Since the Diamond Hotels does technically belong to the Wrights," revealed the hotel manager.

"Mr. Wright will be here soon to fit his suit before the photoshoot will begin, and you need to get changed," told the GM.

"He will be here? I thought he was busy?" Samantha asked, utterly bemused.

"Oh, he was, Mrs. Wright. The idea of having both of you model for the

a

hotel was a last-minus het

by the board of directors. He

probably did not have the time to tell you. The manager guided her to the lift and said, "Please, this way."

That day was their fifth wedding anniversary, and they had purposely celebrated it the night before because Ethan told her, he had an important appointment that day. When Samantha arrived at the suite where she was expected to get prepped, she was stunned to see make-up artists and the same stylist that had worked on her in the past. What was even more shocking was how she found an elegant, Sapphire embellished gown. She frowned as she muttered, "Wow, it - it looks like a wedding dress."

"Ah, No. Mrs. Wright. This is a regular, yet exquisite ballroom gown," told the general manager. "Please get changed soon, Mrs. Wright. The photoshoot will start in three hours."
