Chapter 314

Author: Kayla Sango
Nathaniel's POV

The next hour passed in a haze of police procedures with statements, toxicology tests, and evidence collection. I stayed beside Annie the entire time, holding her hand while she told the detectives what had happened. Her voice was still slightly slurred from whatever had been slipped into her drink, but she managed to give every important detail: the man who introduced himself as Klaus Reinhardt, the conversation that started out professional and slowly became personal, the glass of wine he offered, and then the blank space in her memory until she woke up in the hotel room.

I watched her closely as she was forced to mentally revisit those moments. Every expression that crossed her face twisted something in my chest. Sometimes she paused to take a deep breath or sip water, and each time I squeezed her hand gently, trying to ground her, to let her know she wasn't alone. It was painful to hear her describe how she'd grown dizzy and disoriented, how her movements stoppe

    Madeline's POV The first thing I noticed when I settled into the first-class seat was how completely at ease Apollo looked, surrounded by all that luxury. While I was still trying to figure out how the seat controls worked, he had already ordered an expensive wine from the flight attendant. Not just any wine, but something specific like he knew it by heart.“Champagne?” he offered when the attendant returned with a bottle I didn’t even know existed.“Please,” I replied, watching how naturally he handled the glass, as if drinking Dom Pérignon at thirty thousand feet were part of his everyday routine.I had thought he was just some random biker who showed up at the right place at the right time. But the way he moved in this environment, like he belonged here, made me wonder if I’d completely underestimated who this man really was.“So…” I let slip, watching him chuckle genuinely at something he was reading in the airline magazine. “I’m guessing you’re used to traveling like this.”

    Marcus' POV Leaning against the glass wall overlooking the runway, I watched the constant flow of people around me. Couples laughing as they scroll through their phones. Entire families loaded down with suitcases and excitement. Executives checking last-minute emails. Solo travelers lost in books or headphones. Everyone seemed to know exactly where they were—and where they were going. I, on the other hand, was standing here waiting for a woman whose name I didn't know, about to board a honeymoon that wasn't mine, based on a promise made after a night of sex that still felt unreal. I slipped my hand into the pocket of my jacket and feel the crumpled piece of paper she left had behind in the hotel room. The flight details, gate number, and time were all written in hurried but careful handwriting. "This way we don't have to exchange numbers or accidentally learn each other's names at check-in," she had said, wearing that mysterious smile I couldn't get out of my head. Any rational

    Madeline's POV I shifted comfortably in bed, feeling the soft mattress beneath me like it was hugging me, trying to pull me back into peaceful sleep. I was completely ready to give in and return to that world where there were no problems or worries, where everything was exactly as it should be. So I decided that twenty more minutes of sleep wouldn't hurt anyone and tugged the comforter closer, wanting to shield myself from the pleasant chill of the air-conditioning. But the comforter didn't move. I pulled harder. Nothing. It was stuck on something. Annoyed at whatever was keeping me from slipping back into dreams, I stretched my arm back, ready to shove whatever was on the bed out of the way. I froze. My eyes flew open when my hand hit something warm, solid, and very real. Yesterday came rushing back all at once, not giving me even a second to think. My head throbbed painfully, and I couldn't tell if it was from the memories or the aftermath of far too much alcohol. "Crap

    There we were again, in business class. We were seated side by side with our hands intertwined over the armrest. The only difference was that now I wore a gold band that caught the cabin light with a soft glow, and the man next to me was no longer an attractive stranger I'd just met—he was my husband. A few months ago, sitting in this very position, I never could've imagined I'd be married to the man who had taken the seat beside me on a plane. And now, here we were, about to have one child, and about to adopt another. Already blessed with the most loving little dog in the world. Ginger had flown back on a private jet with Oliver and Sarah playing babysitters. The rest of the family took advantage of the fancy ride too. But Nate and I chose a commercial flight. We still couldn't have an official honeymoon until we went through the proper tests and got the doctor's approval, but we could allow ourselves a little nostalgia. "Still afraid of flying?" Nate asked, giving my hand a gen

    The chapel doors opened, and the first thing I heard was the soft sound of the organ echoing through the stone walls. The familiar melody filled the air, but it was the sight in front of me that truly stole my breath. Nate stood at the altar, flawless in his black tuxedo, his hands clasped in front of him. But it was the look on his face that sent my heart racing. His green eyes were locked on mine with an intensity that felt powerful enough to stop time itself, a gentle smile playing on his lips as if he were watching a miracle unfold right before him. "Ready, my daughter?" my father whispered at my side, offering his arm with that mix of pride and bittersweet emotion only fathers of brides ever seem to carry. I nodded, still unable to take my eyes off Nate, and we began our walk down the center aisle. Ahead of us, Ginger trotted proudly, a small velvet pillow strapped to her back, carrying our rings as if she fully understood the importance of her mission. Her golden fur glow

    The small chapel was only a few minutes from the mansion, but the trip there would be made with all the pomp a family like ours deserved. A row of classic cars was parked in front of the main entrance. There was a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom, two vintage Bentleys, and a classic 1950s Mercedes, all impeccably restored and decorated with white ribbons and small floral arrangements. Zoey stood beside me, making the final adjustments to my dress with professional precision. She carefully arranged every fold of the train, making sure the fabric wouldn't get caught in the car door when I stepped out. Her hands moved with meticulous care, as if she were preparing a work of art. "Done," she said, stepping back to admire the result. "You look perfect." The uniformed drivers waited respectfully, and I saw Bianca heading toward the second car with Sarah and Tori. Everything around us moved in an elegant, coordinated flow, like a perfectly rehearsed dance. Zoey was about to follow the others
