Five chapters in one day? Dang, I'm on fire! Anyways, here it is; the one you have been waiting for. The final chapter of this story! It's been fun but all good things have to come to an end… Thank you guys for your support throughout the story… It always feels bittersweet to finish writing a story and as quoted by Count Ipolitov (God bless his soul): "Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all". And for this chapter, someone call the Dimya crew! We're having a party tonight in honour of this chapter!

Enjoy the last chapter, everybody!


Anya stood on the bridge, her chest heaving as she caught her breath. The streets of Paris were quiet and lonely at this hour… There he was! She wasn't too late!

Dmitri looked up as he heard footsteps, "Anya?" He wondered "What's she doing here?" The young man shook his head and scolded himself for believing this cruel game of fate "No, she was a Grand Duchess and he was a street rat. Princesses don't marry street rats."


Anya took another step and opened her mouth, before she could speak; Dmitri cut her off as he started "If you ever see me from a carriage again. Don't wave, don't smile." Before he looked away from her "I don't want to be in love with someone I can't be with for the rest of my life!"


The young woman tried to process these words as she realized their feelings for each other… "Goodbye." He continued, standing up and giving a bow "Your highness…" The young man took his suitcase and started to walk away.

"Oh no you don't!" Anya thought to herself, before impulsively saying "I always dreamed that my first kiss would be with a prince!" He stopped and turned around "I'm not your prince, Anya!"


"The Grand Duchess Anastasia would beg to disagree!" The young woman announced as she smiled and walked towards him, taking his suitcase and placing it at his feet. Stepping on top of it so that the petite woman reached his height, Anya looked him in the eyes and added "Dima."


She did not wait for an answer. There was no time for that! Instead, she was straightforward and their lips met before he could protest.

Dmitri was initially caught off-guard, but he quickly relaxed and wrapped his arms around her waist. He felt warmth, not just from her but from himself! He found himself liking the kiss; her soft lips touching his mouth and butterflies flew in their stomach. "So this is love…" Dmitri thought to himself happily.


Warmth rushed through her body and her heartbeat resounded loudly in her ears. She felt as if fireworks were set off and exploding around her and Anya's happiness soaring like a bird in her heart.

As they softly separated, he looked at her; a tender smile crossing his face.

"Maybe I could stay…" Dmitri chuckled "My little Natsya…"


They didn't say anything. They didn't need to. He simply lifted her in the air and nimbly set her down, offering her his arm. As she took it, his eyes met her own and her heart soared and fluttered in her chest.


"Dear Nana, wish me luck. Wherever I go, you'll always be with me…" The Dowager read the note Anya gave to her.

"They've eloped. Isn't it romantic? It's a perfect ending." Lily sighed romantically.

"No," The Dowager smiled "It's a perfect beginning…"


All was well. Anya found her family and her home, she discovered who she was and she had Dmitri, who loved her for who she was… he loved her and she loved him, and that was all that mattered. And as cliché as it sounds, they all lived happily ever after!
