This is the last chapter to this Story. I hate to have this as their end but somethings are better off without each other. After all, not everyone comes into your life to stay. Some are there to teach you a lesson.

That's the case for Ryan in Jennifer's life and Savvy in Ryan's life....

See you soon with some other new stories!!!!

Arnie's POV

It's been two days since the eventful day. Ryan has not been able to cope up with anything. And how could he??

Within a span of time, he lost both, his newly born daughter and his..Love.

Yes, we all knew Ryan had fallen for Jenny. We were just waiting for him to accept it himself, but who knew, she won't ever be able to hear it.

Today was the day when we were supposed to cremate Angel and her mother, Jennifer..

Jennifer was never away from Ryan even though she left him.

She was still married to him and the irony was, without even consummating their marriage, she became the mother of his child. Their family was complete.

What else would a person need in their life?

But today when I look at the man standing in front of me, he's not the one that I saw happy with his family. He had lost everything. One step and everything got ruined.

Later that day, Police had captured Savvy but she slit her wrist in the prison and we received her news last night.

She was gone, too.

I felt bad for Jenny's family

I felt bad for Jenny's family. One moment they had everything, the next, they lost both their children and a granddaughter.

Didn't know that the rivalry between the sisters would cost each other's life.

Today, Ryan stood right in front of me, his face void of every emotion, as if someone had robbed him of it. He had lost all hopes of smiling, of getting his life back on track.

I looked at everyone surrounding us. Families, friends, everyone. Harry stood next to Ryan for support. Mr. and Mrs. William stood in one corner, consoling each other but the worst were Jenny's parents. Mr. Jonas was sitting lifeless on the ground while Mrs. Jonas was crying her heart out.

Soon, it started raining as if the God himself was crying.

We had nothing left to cry for My best friend, my problem solver, my agony aunt was gone. That little bird she got with her, took her away when she left.

My heart pained to see them like this. It hurt me to see the only person I always ran to, run away from me, to a place where no one could bring her back from.

Jay and Tiana were no better. They stood with the Jonas, trying to calm Jenny's mother but to no avail.

Soon, we all headed back home.

We all sat on the dining table, eating whatever we could ever so quietly. No body spoke. All ate in silence.

We were all at Ryan's house. He had excused himself from the gathering as he wanted to rest.

"Gracie, will you please call Ryan. He hasn't eaten anything since morning", Mrs. William said.

Gracie nodded and went upstairs to call him.

We all were busy eating when all of a sudden, we heard Gracie's scream.

Our eyes shot towards the room and we all rushed upstairs.

"What happened?", Harry asked as he was the first one to reach.

Gracie stood outside Ryan's room with her hand covering her mouth while she gestured him to look inside.

I followed Harry into the room and was shocked to see the sight in front of me.

There, on the bed lay Ryan, curled up like a baby. He held a photo of Jenny and him where he was touching her baby bump. Harry carefully turned him around, only to find a small smile on his lips and his mouth full of lather.

We all stepped back in horror

We all stepped back in horror. On the bed, next to him lay a bottle of poison which he had emptied.

We were shocked to see that! Minutes ago Ryan was standing with us. We knew what he was going through but never thought that he was so fed up with his life.

Harry checked his breathing and then his pulses. He turned around to look at us as his eyes lowered.

"He's no more"

His mother dropped to the floor on hearing it. Witnessing death of her whole family shattered her. I stood there, staring blankly at the now dead Ryan William, the once happy, chirpy business man who lost everything to the lady he once believed to love.

At last in some other world, he was indeed, reunited with his family.
