Two days later, Seth sat in the chapel of the funeral home. He sat toward the back as to not draw attention to himself. He watched Alexia's family and saw their grief. While he hated that they were going through this, he was glad he stopped Alexia from having Bianca killed. He sat there as the casket rolled by and he watched as her family walked behind it. He kept his head down as they did. He followed to the cemetery and stood in the back as the preacher finished the prayer and they lowered the casket. Once he had, he headed toward his car. He stopped when he heard someone calling his name. He turned to see Alexia's parents coming his way.
"Susan, Grant." He said to them. "I'm sorry about Alexia."
"Thank you, Seth." Susan replied. "You could have sat with us. You were still her husband after all."
"I didn't think it was appropriate for me to sit there given that Alexia and I were almost divorced."
"You still could." Susan replied.
"No, he couldn't." Grant replied. "I don't want him anywhere near this. He should have been home with Alexia and then this wouldn't have happened. But no, he was with his whore. How dare you come here and pretend to be sad? You are free now so leave and go be with your whore."
Seth looked at them. He was tired of everyone saying that about Bianca. "You are all ones to talk. Alexia told me all about your affairs. You, Grant and Susan have cheated on each other over and over again through the years. And I know Cory and Rebecca have cheated as well. So, I wouldn't be surprised if Alexia had cheated on me too." He sighed. "But I'm not doing this here. I will leave and my association with your family is done." He turned his back to them and walked to his car and drove away.
He pulled into the parking lot of the law office and headed in. Randy had called him and told him he had everything done for his and Alexia's finances. With her dead, Seth would get everything now. He walked into Randy's office and sat down.
"How was the funeral?" Randy asked him.
"It was sad. I mean yeah I didn't love Alexia anymore but I'm sad she's gone. I feel for her family though." He replied.
"Yeah I know." Randy replied. "Well, with Alexia dead, the divorce papers are withdrawn and you are entitled to everything with the exception of what Alexia left in her will for her family." Randy said as he handed Seth the will.
Seth looked it over and then back at Randy. "This seems fine. I mean Alexia just left her family her personal assets. Everything we shared together as a married couple is mine and has no bearing on this."
"That is true." Randy replied. "So, I will contact Alexia's family and get them what they need for her assets."
"Great. Thanks for handling this." Seth said as he stood up. "I'm going to my office." Randy nodded as Seth walked out.
Seth walked to his office and smiled when he saw Bianca there. "Hey, how was the funeral?" She asked him.
"It was a funeral. Sad for the family. I feel bad for them." He said to her. "But life goes on. I just met with Randy about everything so it's all done. I have all the marital assets and the house but I think I will sell it. I just don't want it."
"I understand that. I mean it is where Alexia was killed but I wouldn't tell the people who buy it that."
He couldn't help but laugh. "No, I think not. Well, I have some work to do. How about a long lunch?"
She smiled. "Yeah sounds good." He nodded and headed in his office.
He picked up the phone and called Paul. "Yeah."
"Thanks for cleaning up that matter and handling it so the police would think they have the person." He said to him.
"Well, the boy owed me a lot of money and he didn't have it. So, he took jail over death. I heard the DA offered him a deal and he took it. So, he gets jail time for a few years and no death. So, you're in the clear."
"Thanks." Seth said. "Goodbye." He said hanging up. He turned his chair to look out the window of his office and smiled. Everything had worked out like he wanted. He was free of Alexia and he still had all the money he was going to give her for a settlement. He could be happy with Bianca and their child. He couldn't thank Brock enough for telling about Alexia's plan and giving him the information to stop her.
When lunch came, he and Bianca headed to the hotel nearby. He wanted to talk to her about them getting married. He had picked out the ring a few days before. Once they got to the hotel room, Seth wasted no time in making love with Bianca. Afterward as they laid there, he decided to ask her.
"Bianca, I have something I want to talk to you about." He said to her as he got up and walked over to his coat.
"Alright." She replied.
"Well, I was hoping that you would marry me." He said as he turned and sat down on the bed.
Bianca smiled when he did. "Of course I will marry you." She smiled as Seth slid on the 2 carat princess cut diamond engagement ring on her finger. She kissed him passionately and they were soon making love again. With Bianca having no idea what Seth had done to make sure they stayed together and he was going to make sure she never did.
