LOGINFinally, it was my wedding. I was both nervous and excited. I was getting married again. This time, to the love of my life, and the weight of the realization both thrilled and terrified me.As I sat in the bridal suite, I could hear the soft chuckles coming from the other room, where Catherine and Ma Jane were busy fussing over my wedding dress. Their laughter was infectious and it brought a smile to my face, despite the tension coiling in my stomach.I could only imagine how beautiful my dress looked, hanging there waiting for me. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart.In the meantime, the makeup artist was busy applying the finishing touches. She worked with precision according to request while I focused on the mirror, admiring how beautiful her makeup has turned it to be.After the makeup, I was gently guided into the next room, where my wedding dress awaited me. The moment I stepped inside, my breath caught in my throat.The dress was so breathtaking. It was a mas
“You're a terrible matchmaker” Lucas blurted out with humor in his voiceI couldn't help but laugh, the tension from earlier on, easing just a bit.Just then Catherine walked in with the maid trailing behind her, holding Lucas favourite dish“There you go sweetheart”She said, placing the meal on the table“I need to find that woman who broke my little boys heart” she said, affectionately rubbing Lucas' head as she set the dish in front of himLucas looked embarrassed“Mom, I am no longer your little boy and you don't need to feed me. It's embarrassing”Catherine feigned a dramatic gasp“You're ashamed of me now?” she said, placing a hand on her chest as if wounded.“How can I be embarrassed when we are the only ones here?” Lucas shot back, trying to keep the mood light, but Catherine was relentless “Oh I'll feed you anyway” she declared, shoving a forkful of food toward him while parting him on the head“We are going to find that girl who broke your heart and make her fall in love w
As I was going about my task at Eclipse Enterprise, I caught sight of Lucas's tall frame through the transparent glass of the entrance.My curiosity piqued and I stood up to see what had brought him to the office.As I got closer, it became clear what he was up to. He was holding a beautiful, vibrant and colorful bouquet of flowers which made my heart warm at the sight.Just then, Ethan emerged from the office, clearly wanting to talk to Lucas. But I quickly signalled for him to keep quiet, not wanting to interrupt the moment Lucas looked a bit nervous as he constantly adjusted the flowers in his hand.Ethan raised a confused eyebrow but was willing to comply as he watched the interaction unfold.Lucas walked over to Racheal's desk, with his movement reflecting a noticeable uneasiness.Racheal looked up and was surprised at the sight of Lucas“Hey, what are you doing here?” She asked, but her gaze fell to the bouquet of flowers in his hands, and I could sense the shift in her counten
I stared at him in short of the right words“Okay, okay, I'll be bold” Lucas said with a glint in his eyes“But if it doesn't work out, I'm blaming you” he said in mock seriousness and I laughed through his expression. Just as Lucas and we were wrapping up the conversation, the door slowly opened with Ethan and Micheal rushing in with a panicked and concerned expression.“Avery, what happened?” He exclaimed, quickly scanning through me for any sign of distress. Micheal immediately took charge.He moved swiftly to my side, and began checking my vitals and making sure I was okay.“I took care of it, she's okay now” Lucas said, trying to ease the tension Ethan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to Lucas who immediately stopped talking, creating more tension around usI quickly intervened in a bid to reassure everyone.“It was just a minor cut and I promise am okay” I said, with a smile on my faceOnce Micheal was done with his checks, Ethan stepped closer as his expression softened
I was in the kitchen making dinner when I suddenly felt a presence behind me.Before I could turn, Lucas sneaked up on me and in my surprise, the knife I was holding pierced a little into my skin. “Ouch!” I exclaimed quickly, dropping the knife and instinctively clutching my arm.Lucas panicked“Hold still” he said as he rushed me to the sick bay in the mansion Once we arrived, he gently sat me down and began to access the small cut on my arm.“I never knew a place like this existed in the mansion” I said Lucas smirked looking up at me with a teasing glint in his eyes“It seems like you only know the bedroom, kitchen and sitting room” he quipped as he wrapped a bandage around my arm carefully I rolled my eyes but a smile crept unto my face“I guess I have not explored the mansion as much as I thought” “Exactly!” Lucas urged as he finished up the first aid“You should explore the mansion even more, especially since you're the soon to be Mrs Blackwood”“Again..” he
After leaving the agency, I decided to treat myself to dinner in a nearby fancy restaurant.The day had been long and I hoped a nice meal would clear my head.I arrived and settled into a cozy corner.Just then, I caught sight of a couple nearby.They were laughing and sharing intimate glances, and the glint of wedding ring in their finger caught my eyes and made my heart flutter I instinctively looked down at my own finger where my engagement ring still gleamed. My face flushed as I realized I hadn't set a date for the wedding yet.Suddenly the urge to get married surge through me.I imagined the day, the ceremony and the promise of the future with Ethan.“Maybe being Mrs Blackwood again isn't such a bad idea” I thought to myself as a smile crept to my lipsAt that moment, I pulled out my phone and immediately texted Ethan.Ethan arrived at the restaurant almost immediately.Without hesitation, I began to feed him a bite of my meal, a playful gesture that surprised him.He looked a
“Shall we?” Ethan said as he pulled out his hand for me to take.I looked at the flowers he bought me and my heart rejoiced a bit. I handed it to Ma Jane who received it and wished us a wonderful dinner date.“Take care, my Child” she said“Have fun, Avery. I mean real fun” grandma pelle
Ethan climbed into the driver's seat and checked that I was settled “Let me be your chauffeur for the day” he winked as he teased me.“Oh please, Ethan” I said, letting out a sincere smile “Am serious. I'll take you wherever you want to go” he said, in a playful professional tone “Okay,” I said,
