Thanks so much guys for the comments!! Here's the next chapter!!

Chapter 61

A few weeks later

Abby and Luka got married in a small ceremony a couple of weeks later as neither wanted a big ceremony. Just close friends and Luka’s mam and sister.

Couple of days after the wedding.

"Please state your name for the court."

"Abigail Kovac."

"Mrs. Kovac, how long have you known the defendant, and in what capacity?"

"Um, I've known him for a little over two years. First, I was his nurse, and then we began dating, and then we were engaged for a little over four months."

"And can you tell us why you broke off your engagement with Mr. Lockhart?"

Shifting uncomfortably in her seat on the witness stand, Abby allowed her eyes to fall on Richard for just a brief moment. She looked for signs of remorse or fear, but all she saw instead was his signature smug grin.

"I ended our engagement, because he, because Richard had begun beating me."

From where he sat toward the front of the rows of spectator benches, Luka felt his hands tightly ball into fists. He did his best to swallow the hatred he was feeling toward the man that sat no more than a few feet away from him.

Instead, he met the eyes of his wife, and gave her a small smile and a nod. He hoped it would give her strength to be able to do what she was about to do.

"Mrs. Kovac, can you please expand on that. What do you mean when you say he was beating you?"

Luka listened, his heart wild with both hatred for Richard and love for Abby, as his wife proceeded to tell in-depth accounts of her dealings with the crooked politician for the next 15 minutes.

It was all Luka could do to keep the bile that had been forming in his throat from spilling over as he heard things he would have never wished to hear.

Sure, Abby had told him various stories here and there about her time with Richard but for the most part, it was a topic they avoided, and much of what he was hearing today was brand new to him.

When she had finished her harrowing tale, she looked exhausted, Luka thought. Staring in her direction until she met his gaze, he mouthed the words, "I love you," and gave her the best smile he could muster considering what he had just heard.

When they were finally able to leave for the day, Luka waited patiently as Sandra Cromwell talked to Abby for a few moments, prepping her for the next few days ahead.

When she finally left the court room, he immediately engulfed her in his arms, holding her with a ferocity that spoke of his intention to always protect her.

"Luka, can we get out of here?" She spoke quietly into his chest as he continued to hold her.

"Yeah, baby, come on, let's go home." With that, Luka led her out of the courthouse.

[suzanne]

Thanks guys!! Here's the next chapter!

Chapter 62

The next few days of the trial would prove equally as exhausting for both Abby and Luka, as Abby was interrogated over and over, often forced to re-tell parts of her story that she would have gladly never spoken of again. Through it all, though, Luka remained with her, giving her strength just from his existence in the courtroom with her.

After two long weeks, the trial had finally come to an end, and Abby and Luka arrived to hear the verdict pronounced. Clutching his wife's hand, Luka had to control himself from letting out a cry of victory as Richard was pronounced guilty of every charge levelled at him.

They didn't even wait around to hear the judge tell Richard when his sentencing hearing would take place. They simply ran out of the courtroom, Luka grabbing his wife and swinging her around, as tears fell freely down her cheeks.

"Tonight, we're celebrating!" Luka declared as they drove away from the courthouse.

"Where are we going?" Abby raised a curious eyebrow.

"I'm taking my wife out for a victory dinner," Luka smirked as he slid one hand off the wheel of his truck so that he could reach out and grab Abby's hand.

Pulling into the parking lot of a quaint Italian restaurant declaring it-self to be "Manuelle's," Luka led his wife through the front door, mentioning his name to the hostess, who promptly seated them.

"You made reservations?" Abby inquired with a grin, "But what if he hadn't been found guilty?"

Reaching across the table for her hands, he gently rubbed them. "Abby, it doesn't matter. I am so proud of you. What you did took a lot of courage. You stood up to that bastard and now he won't ever be able to hurt anyone else because you were brave enough to do what you did."

Luka looked reflective a moment before continuing. "Ab’s, when I was sitting there today, I couldn't help but think that this wasn't just a win for you, but a win for my mom and every other woman that's ever been beat by an asshole like that. You should be really proud of yourself."

Update soon again

[suzanne]

Thanks for all your comments guys!! This story has come to an end, this is the final chapter!! I enjoyed writing it and am starting to work on another one this weekend!! Thanks again for all the comments!! Enjoy!

Chapter 63

Blinking back tears that burned warm in her eyes, Abby stood up and moved from her side of the booth to his.

"Luka," she placed on hand on his leg and one on his arm. "There is no way I would have been able to do this without you. When I came to you that night when I was running from Richard, you took me in and made me feel safe. You loved me past my hurt, and you gave me the strength back that Richard had tried to steal from me."

Not sure of words that would be adequate to express his emotions in that moment, Luka simply cupped Abby's face in both of his large hands, and pressed his mouth to hers for a gentle yet passionate kiss.

When they parted, she rested her forehead on his and simply sighed. She felt safe, she felt content, and she felt loved.

"Abby, I have a surprise for you," Luka grinned at her, a twinkle evident in his light eyes.

Abby pulled back to examine him with a grin. "Oh yeah? And what would that be?"

"I'm taking you on a honeymoon. We leave next week." Luka's eyes searched her face, anxious for her approval.

Married only a few weeks, Luka and Abby had been unable to take a honeymoon right after their wedding because of the impending trial.

Luka had promised her that he would make it right one day, but she had been so euphorically happy that she hadn't even cared. Getting to be Mrs. Luka Kovac for the rest of her life was enough for her.

"Seriously?" Her eyes widened and a toothy grin began to split her lips.

"Yup," he nodded, clearly pleased by Abby's reaction to his surprise. "I already talked to Susan and she got you the time off, and David's going to cover for me at the shop. Figure he owes me for this crap he's trying to pull with my sister."

Abby giggled. Somehow, Lexie's drunken make-out session had left him wanting more of the younger Kovac, and they had been carrying on a long-distance relationship for the past few months. Things had even progressed to the point that Lexie and Joann were now seriously considering a move back, much to the delight of Luka and Abby.

"Where are we going?" Abby squealed, her face taking on a child-like quality as she leaned into Luka in anticipation.

"Does it matter?" Luka smirked as he slid his arms around his wife and drew her close to him. "You get to have a vacation with your extremely sexy husband, who promises to be naked all the time. What else could you want?" His eyes twinkled as he kissed her cheek and trailed his lips down her neck, kissing the spot he knew sent shivers down her spine.

Sighing in contentment as she relaxed into his embrace, Abby smiled. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing."

The End.
