Eric's POV

FIVE MONTHS LATER

The judge’s final sentence had echoed through every major news outlet in the country. The law finally caught up with Julian and he was sentenced to life imprisonment for assault, financial crimes, gang-related crimes, conspiracy to commit murder, and murder.

Hearing the charges listed aloud still felt unreal because despite everything he did, he's still family.

His associates were all identified and punished accordingly too. But Derrick Brown—the inmate who murdere

    Sienna's POV TWO WEEKS LATER"Jessica Maya Jones."The name echoed through the auditorium, followed by a burst of applause. My heart swelled instantly with pride."There she is!" Mom exclaimed beside me, already halfway to standing from her seat.I laughed softly as Jessica confidently walked across the stage in her graduation gown, her dark brown curls bouncing with every step. She looked so proud of herself, which was completely expected.If there's one thing Jessica excelled at, it's making sure everyone knew when she had accomplished something.The hall erupted into louder cheers when she accepted her diploma. I was certain half of them came from us, especially Mom.I glanced sideways and saw tears gathering in her eyes. For a moment, my chest tightened. Dad should have been here too. He should have been sitting beside her, shouting embarrassingly loud while Jessica rolled her eyes and pretended not to know him.His absence still hurts, even months later. Some losses really learn

    Eric's POVI sat still as Julian continued talking.“When I joined Macmillan Holdings six years ago, and later became Head of Strategic Expansion in Emerging Market,” he continued.“I thought maybe people would finally see me differently for the first time in my life,” he added and leaned forward slightly.“I worked for months on an expansion strategy into Southeast Asia.”His voice sharpened slightly.“I barely slept. I researched everything, built projections, carried out risk assessments, and growth structures.”There was small pride in the way he spoke about this.“But when I presented it to the executive board…”His expression darkened again.“They rejected it.”I remember that meeting clearly now that he mentioned it.The board had considered his proposal too aggressive and risky.Julian laughed bitterly.“And then,” he said slowly, “you spoke.”My brows furrowed in confusion.Julian’s gaze was piercing now as he looked directly into my eyes.“You looked me dead in the eye and

    Eric's POV FIVE MONTHS LATERThe judge’s final sentence had echoed through every major news outlet in the country. The law finally caught up with Julian and he was sentenced to life imprisonment for assault, financial crimes, gang-related crimes, conspiracy to commit murder, and murder.Hearing the charges listed aloud still felt unreal because despite everything he did, he's still family.His associates were all identified and punished accordingly too. But Derrick Brown—the inmate who murdered Jason in prison—received a lesser sentence after claiming he acted out of fear because Julian threatened to harm his family if he refused to obey. He was sentenced for manslaughter.What disturbed me more was the fact that Julian could orchestrate murder so casually and that people feared him enough to obey.I saw the relief in Sienna’s eyes when news headlines carried details of his sentencing. There was no more fear that Julian would somehow escape the consequences of all his actions.Even M

    Sienna's POV The reception somehow felt even more magical than the ceremony itself. The rings were already sitting perfectly on our fingers and Eric was officially, publicly, completely my husband again.The outdoor reception was held beneath a massive luxury ivory tent set up at the far end of the garden. Warm chandeliers hung from the transparent ceiling, casting soft golden light across the space as evening slowly settled.Round tables decorated with white roses, candles, and crystal centerpieces filled the tent beautifully. Soft music floated through the air while waiters moved elegantly between guests carrying trays of champagne and expensive wine.Laughter echoed everywhere as people danced, talked and celebrated.I stood near the dance floor with Eric’s hand wrapped securely around mine while Jessica dragged Connor into an argument about whether she was a better dancer than him.“You’re literally all confidence and no coordination,” Connor told her.Jessica gasped dramatically

    Eric's POVI never thought I’d be nervous on my wedding day, but standing beneath the floral arch in the middle of a private garden, surrounded by family and close friends, my hands were pressed together tightly in front of me and I could loudly hear the sound of my own heartbeat.The late afternoon sun casted a warm glow across the entire venue, the garden was breathtaking. Elegant white roses and soft blush peonies lined the aisle in full bloom, their scent drifting gently through the air with the evening breeze. Tall glass candle lanterns stood between the flower arrangements, flickering softly despite the daylight.Rows of ivory chairs curved slightly around the aisle in a semi-circle, allowing every guest a perfect view of the ceremony.Above us, crystal chandeliers hung from transparent canopies woven between trees wrapped in tiny golden fairy lights.This was exactly what Sienna and I wanted. No reporters or cameras shoved in our faces, just the two of us surrounded by the peop

    Sienna's POV 2 WEEKS LATERI used to think getting married to a Billionaire would definitely mean a loud wedding—a huge hall, hundreds of guests, cameras flashing and endless speeches from people you barely know. But Eric and I decided to do the opposite because we wanted today to be about us and the love we have for each other. And in exactly one hour, I would be walking down the aisle to marry Eric Macmillan.For real this time.A smile slowly spread across my lips at the thought.“Don’t smile too hard,” my stylist warned playfully behind me. “You’ll ruin the lip gloss I just fixed.”I laughed softly.“Sorry.”The hotel suite was buzzing with energy. The large windows allowed warm sunlight to spill into the room, bathing everything in a soft golden glow. Somewhere behind me, I could hear Jessica humming dramatically while taking pictures of literally everything in sight.And I mean everything—my shoes, bouquet, jewelry box and even my veil.At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised i
