At the corner of my eyes I spotted Claire heading in our direction. She was wrapped in an off shoulder beige gown that gave emphasis to her tall and elegant frame. Her beautiful curls loosely hung on her shoulders and it framed her face. She looked good tonight, good is even an understatement. She looked stunning. She'd always been a beautiful woman but tonight she looked ethereal. Who would have guessed that she's Ace's mother and also the grandmother of two lovely children..

Regally standing beside Claire was Alexander. His right arm protectively draped around her elegant shoulders. Father looked equally good in his black tuxedo, a couple of eyes followed him as he walked past the guests. The two looked good together, almost like a perfect couple. Though Father and Claire haven't announced their status yet, obviously they were smitten with each other. First love never dies after all.

Lucas and Ace suddenly fell silent. Turning my gaze to them, I saw them looking at the approaching couple. But it was not Father and Claire Ace was looking at. It was Vien who was shyly hiding behind his mother where his gaze was nailed at. My lips parted in surprise. I didn't see her at first and it took me a moment to realize that she's even there.

"Vien…" The word trailed out of Ace's lips. His eyes were all wide and misty. He stepped forward but stopped as if he suddenly changed mind. He was breathing heavily as he waited for the three to reach us.

My hands reach to his arm, trying to give him comfort with the soft caress of my fingers against his skin. His gaze remained locked on Vien. His deep blue eyes flickered with tears. I could see with clarity as various emotions swirl around them.

My heart swelled inside my chest. The scene made me want to weep too. Watching the reunion between Ace and Vien touched my heart. It's been a long three years—or was it four—since the last time Ace saw her. Seeing her now still shocked him. That's how exactly I felt the first time I laid my eyes on my daughter.

When I thought it's going to take forever, Claire and Father reached our spot. Vien remained hidden behind Ace's mother but her wide, unblinking eyes remained glued to Ace as if she's trying to figure out if he was indeed her father.

"Come here, Vien." Ace spoke, his voice cracking. He cleared his throat and swallowed hard. Vien stood still in her place, her exquisite blue eyes— a perfect replica of her father—flickered with tears. "Papa is here baby." He added. This time a tear fell down his cheeks.

"Papa." Vien said, the words sounded more of?a question than a statement. For a split second she remained silent as if contemplating the words. I held my breath as I waited how she would respond.

The room fell into a deafening silence. Even the orchestra stopped playing.

Vien took a step closer and closer. When she was a couple of steps away from Ace, she pulled into a stop and looked up to him. Her eyes stretched wide as it wander to his face.

"Papa." She spoke again but this time it wasn't a question anymore. It was a word spoken without a tinge of doubt. She crossed the distance between them and jumped into Ace's arms. Sobbing.

I lose control of my emotion and a sob bursts into my lips. Only a statue would feel nothing while watching the scene. I dried my tears with the back of my fingers but the tears won't stop falling. I gave up wiping them and continue to look at them with a wonderful feeling in my heart.

Ace hugged Vien so tight with his eyes firmly close. Tears fell down the smoothness of his cheeks. The emotions swirling inside me made my chest so tight that I could barely breath.

Ace and I waited for so long for this moment to come. When we thought Vien died on that night on the car accident, we'd given up hope meeting her again. But god is good, he let my daughter live so we could have her with us and be a whole family again. And now the most awaiting reunion between Ace and Vien slowly takes place, I almost couldn't believe it myself.

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up. I would rather die than realize that everything had been only a dream.

I sniffed and wiped my eyes with the back of my palms to clear my hazy vision. And when my eyes finally moved to the crowd, it took me a moment to realize everyone was crying too. My whole family and so the guests were wiping a tear in their eyes. Everything that happened to us was in the news and?every soul inside the room knew the hardships we've been through because of Ace's family. Our story touched their hearts and now they're happy to?share this wonderful moment with us.

Ace wiped the tears on Vien's face with his hands. He looked deep into her eyes and began caressing her face. "Papa will never allow anyone to take you away from us again." He vowed and landed a soft kiss on her forehead.

Finally I crossed the small distance that seperates us and joined them. Ace pull me into his arms and hugged the two of us. I mometarily freed myself out of Ace's hold when I spotted Elisa in the crowd. She was holding Faith in her arms. I went up to her and took my baby into my arms. Faith was asleep. The party must have exhausted her.

When I return back to Ace, he laid a soft kiss on Faith's temples and wrapped me back into his arms. The room erupted into a round of applause. Camera's start to flash in our direction.

At last, after all the hardships and struggles we are finally reunited.

Today, on my birthday, everything I ever needed was given to me; Ace, my daughters, and my whole family. I have nothing more to ask. Everything I ever needed to survive was right here with in my reach.

To my wonderful readers,

MR CEO'S PREGNANT EX-WIFE is finally coming to an end. A few more chapters and the story would be finished soon. First, I want to thank you all for your patience for waiting for each update. To those who are not aware, the reason I wasn't able to update for so long is because I'm still under treatment during those times. Taking five tablets daily drains my strength and makes me feel dizzy all the time. I was depressed too that I couldn't write a single chapter. Now that my treatment was over I'm planning to return to writing again and continue my unfinished works.

Thank you all for supporting me on my writing journey! I love you all….

To those who is interested in Lucas (Ace's best friend) I will be writing his story soon (after I finish MCPEW) The title of the story is?THE DUKE'S VILLAINESS WIFE IS AN IMPOSTOR. I'm hoping you will like it too.
