Chapter 6
That day, Rebecca and Haggai were talking in the living room of Rebecca‘s new house. Rebecca had just turned eighteen and he realized that this was the right time to get married and start a family.
“Do you think that it‘s too soon for us to get married, Haggai?” she said. “I mean I know we fell for one another really intensely but we‘ve only known each other for a little over a year. I reckon that we‘ve had a beautiful relationship. You‘ve respected me all this time. There was no kiss, nothing, just dates, movies, popcorn…”
“The fact that we met not too long ago, that doesn‘t mean that we don‘t know each other. We‘ve known each other our whole lives. We‘ve been dreaming of each other, living our lives separately for years, meaning that I‘ve dreamt of everything you‘ve done in your life and you‘ve dreamt of everything I‘ve done in my life.”

That day, Dawn applied for the job that Rebecca had applied for before and she got accepted. She figured that Rebecca didn‘t need it because all of Haggai‘s fortune was now hers, but Dawn wasn‘t about to get married to a multimillionaire, so she did need that job. She would apply for another part-time, work-at-home job to be able to finish college and she would place all the money earned on one job in a savings account and all the money earned on another job in a checking account. Luckily for Dawn, she found another work-at-home job that would pay fifteen dollars an hour and she got accepted. She would be working eight hours a day and earning a lot of money.
Three days later
Haggai and Rebecca exited the court room as a married couple. All of the guests applauded. The local and international press were capturing every moment with their cameras. Dawn was the one that told them that Rebecca and Haggai would get married today. Haggai and Rebecca both knew this, but they wouldn‘t confront her about it because they knew her intentions were not bad. A few minutes later, they went to Haggai‘s mansion together. She was wearing a white dress with
