Two Weeks After Returning from Honeymoon

Married life in the brownstone established its own rhythm distinct from their previous cohabitation. This was their space, designed together, every choice deliberate and shared. Seraphine woke most mornings to find Damien already in his home office on calls with international markets, but now he’d leave coffee ready and a note about when he’d surface for breakfast.

    Three Months After the Wedding - Late SummerSeraphine woke feeling distinctly off. Not sick exactly, but wrong in a way she couldn’t articulate. The smell of Damien’s morning coffee usually appealing made her stomach turn unpleasantly.“You okay?” he asked, noticing her expression as she entered the kitchen.“Fine. Just slept poorly.” She grabbed water instead of coffee, willing her stomach to settle. “What time is your first meeting?”“Nine. But I can push it if you need”“I’m fine. Really.” She kissed his cheek quickly, avoiding the coffee smell. “Just tired. Toronto prep has been intense.”He studied her with that analytical attention she’d learned to recognize as concern disguised as assessment. “You’ve been tired a lot lately. More than usual.”“It’s festival season and production ramp-up. I’m allowed to be tired.”“You’re allowed. I’m just noting the pattern.” He didn’t push further, but she felt his attention tracking her as she moved through the morning routine.By noon, the

    Two Weeks After Returning from Honeymoon Married life in the brownstone established its own rhythm distinct from their previous cohabitation. This was their space, designed together, every choice deliberate and shared. Seraphine woke most mornings to find Damien already in his home office on calls with international markets, but now he’d leave coffee ready and a note about when he’d surface for breakfast. She’d taken over the third-floor office overlooking the garden, turning it into Ashton Productions headquarters for the days she worked from home. Currently, she was reviewing submissions for their next development slate while fielding excited messages from her team about Toronto Film Festival preparations. David: We need to coordinate travel for the team. Should we book hotels now or wait? Seraphine: Book now. Festival hotels fill early. Budget for five people plus whatever talent attaches. Tessa: The immigration drama is getting serious Oscar buzz already. Trades are calling i

  • Billionaire Romance: Mine Tonight   CHAPTER 32: HONEYMOON AND HOMECOMING

    Two Days After the Wedding at Santorini, Greece They’d chosen Greece for the honeymoon private villa in Santorini, two weeks of complete isolation from work and responsibility. Damien had wanted to disconnect entirely, no phones or laptops or contact with the outside world. Seraphine had agreed on the condition that they check messages once daily for genuine emergencies. “This is the most relaxed I’ve ever seen you,” Seraphine observed from the pool, watching Damien actually read a book for pleasure rather than information. “I’m practicing. You said I need to learn to relax.” “You’re reading a book on behavioral economics. That’s not pleasure reading.” “It’s pleasurable to me.” But he set the book down, joining her in the water. “Fine. I’ll relax your way. What does that involve?” “Floating. Thinking about nothing. Just existing.” “That sounds impossible.” “Try anyway.” They floated in silence for several minutes before Damien spoke. “I’m thinking about the brownstone renovat

    The Wedding Day - At Marcus Chen’s Estate Seraphine woke in the guest suite to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows and the immediate realization: today she was getting married. Film Maya was already awake, coffee in hand. “The bride emerges. How’d you sleep?” “Surprisingly well.” Seraphine accepted the coffee gratefully. “Is it raining?” “Clear skies. Seventy-two degrees. Your weather luck is perfect.” Film Maya opened the curtains fully, revealing the estate gardens below where staff were setting up ceremony chairs. “Damien’s been up since five. Marcus said he’s stress-pacing in the library.” “Of course he is.” Seraphine smiled despite herself. “Is he okay?” “Marcus says he’s fine, just processing that this is actually happening. Very on-brand for Damien.” The morning became a blur of activity. Catherine arrived with the makeup and hair team. Lizzie and Elena brought breakfast and champagne. Chloe documented everything with her camera, capturing the chaotic joy of pr

    Ten Weeks Before the Wedding The Brooklyn brownstone was even better in person. Five stories of original architectural detail, a private garden, and enough space for both of them to work from home when needed. Seraphine walked through the empty rooms imagining their life here dinner parties in the dining room, winter mornings in the sunlit kitchen, eventually children running through the halls. “You’re smiling,” Damien observed. “I’m imagining our life here. It feels right.” “Then we should make an offer.” He was already texting his real estate attorney. “I want to close before the wedding so we can begin renovations immediately.” “You’re going to need to learn patience. Real estate doesn’t move that quickly.” “Everything moves quickly when properly motivated.” He made several more calls while Seraphine explored the garden overgrown but salvageable, with an old magnolia tree that would be stunning in spring. By the time they left, Damien had made an all-cash offer significantly

    A few weeks After the EngagementWedding planning was proving more complicated than either of them anticipated. Catherine Ashton had descended on New York with binders full of ideas, Pinterest boards, and opinions about everything. Seraphine loved her mother but was discovering that wedding planning brought out an intensity she hadn’t prepared for.“She wants ice sculptures,” Seraphine told Film Maya during a production meeting break. “Ice sculptures shaped like swans. At an outdoor spring wedding.”“That seems impractical.”“That’s what I said. She said they’d be ‘elegant.’” Seraphine rubbed her temples. “Damien’s been surprisingly patient but I can see his control issues activating every time she suggests something elaborate.”“How’s he handling it?”“He retreats to his office and makes lists. So many lists. Vendor options, contingency plans, security protocols. I think wedding planning is his nightmare.”“Because he can’t control it?”“Because there are too many variables and other
