as some of the animals run. Others are too scared to move.

I react instinctively and start pulling her out of the room. It's challenging to get my arms around her because she is cradling a giant lizard to her chest. Nevertheless, I guide her quickly through the burning wreckage.

Finally, we are outside on the sidewalk. Mylah stands there clutching the lizard. I can't help myself. I burst into laughter. My laughter intensifies as some of the other firefighters walk out of the building carrying odd animals, including a giant Macaw. You don't see this kind of stuff every day.

Mylah turns to look at the burning building and starts sobbing. I immediately stop laughing and wrap my arms around her. “Shhhh, it will be okay,” I say, consoling her.

I am so glad that she is okay and grateful that I could see her again. She looks just as beautiful as ever. Pregnancy suits her nicely.

I walk with her to the firetruck since the paramedics have just arrived. They rush over to check her out. But, before they do, Mylah turns to me. “Will you stay with me, Kyst?” she asks in a tearful voice.

I stroke her hair. “Of course. I am here. I am never going to leave you again,” I promise her. I mean that. I don't want to let her go, despite everything that has happened.

She nods and turns to the paramedics. They are all set up for her. I wait by her side as they check all of her vitals. They feel her stomach as well.

“Ma'am, do you want us to notify the father of the baby that you were in a fire? For safety reasons?” the paramedic asks.

Rather than look, Mylah points her index finger at me. “He already knows. He’s right here.”

My jaw drops, and I turn to stare at her, shocked into silence. She won't look at me. Could she be telling the truth?

Chapter Twenty - Mylah

“Okay, ma'am. You and your baby are both okay and safe to leave,” the paramedic says.

“Thank you.”

They pack up their gear and walk back to the vehicle. Before I have a chance to think about what is happening, Kyst gets my attention. I turn to look at him. He is just as handsome as I remember.

His eyes are wide with shock as he speaks. “I thought this baby was Grayson's!” he blurts out.

It's my turn to be shocked. I'm emotional and crying once again. Just the thought of that. “How could you think something like that?” I sob.

Kyst hugs me. I can hear regret and shame in his voice. “Grayson told me that when I came to the clinic to return your snake the day of the dog adoption. I was stupid to believe it. A part of me knew it wasn't true, but I ignored that.”

I stop crying and dry my eyes. I am so relieved to hear him say that. I look up into his gorgeous face. “You are the only man that I have ever been with,” I admit honestly.

I see the relief on his face. I know he believes me. I feel better now that I am with him and we are talking.

“Mylah, I am sorry for being stupid and acting the way that I did. I was the cause for all of this. Can you forgive me?” Kyst asks. I smile softly at him as I nod. He smiles back. He reaches for my hand. “Would you come and live with me?” he asks without hesitation.

My heart skips a beat. I had been waiting for him to say those words. I was worried that he was never going to. “Of course!” I reply happily.

Kyst smiles and pulls me closer for a gentle hug and kiss. I feel like I'm on cloud nine.

The fire chief approaches us and clears his throat. We both look at him.

“What's the news?” Kyst asks.

“Well, it looks like the fire was deliberately set,” the chief says, looking at his notes.

Kyst and I look at each other then back at the chief. “Do you have any idea who could have done it?” Kyst asks seriously.

“Yes. We reviewed surveillance footage from a neighboring building and saw a man leaving the scene. We have identified him as Grayson Bell. The police are on route to his residence now,” the chief informs us.

“Grayson! So, they are going to arrest him?” Kyst asks, wanting confirmation.

“Yes. This is a grave matter,” The chief says before walking away.

I'm so glad to hear that. I actually sigh aloud with relief. Kyst looks at me and raises his eyebrows.

“It’s comforting to know I won't be bothered by him anymore,” I explain.

“Trust me, I hear ya.” Kyst nods. I laugh a little. Exhausted from the day, I give a small yawn. “Come on, let's go home,” he says.

I smile at him. I love the way that sounds.

Together we walk back towards the building. The fire is out. We collect all the animals and find space for all of them in the backseat of the car. Kyst is such a gentleman. He helps me carefully into the passenger seat before we drive away. We follow the familiar road back to his ranch. It feels so good to be going this way again. I sneak a glance at Kyst. I missed him so much.

We arrive at the house faster than I expected. Kyst opens the front door then comes back to help me with the animals. It takes us nearly an hour to get them all situated in the house. Afterward, we both collapse on the couch, ready to relax. It's been such a long day.

As we sit there, I feel Kyst watching me. I turn to look at him as he reaches out and caresses my cheek. I place my hand over his. Slowly he leans forward and gives me a tender kiss. All those old feelings rise to the surface. He is about to pull away, but I hold onto him. With familiarity, he lies me
