Lucas’s POVAs the days turned into weeks and the seasons began to change, I found myself counting the time not by business milestones or profits, but by the small, meaningful moments I shared with Alessandra. Every morning when I woke up and saw her nearby, every evening when we sat together to talk, every challenge we faced and overcame as a team — these were the things that now mattered most to me. And as the date of our sixth wedding anniversary drew near, I knew this was not just another date on the calendar; it was a moment to reflect, to acknowledge the journey we had traveled, and to speak from the deepest part of my heart.In the past, anniversaries had been treated as social obligations. I would arrange grand parties, invite hundreds of guests, give expensive gifts, and make sure everything looked perfect from the outside. But inside, there had been emptiness.
