Alexander's POVI stood at the altar in the small botanical garden chapel feeling my heart pound so hard I thought everyone could hear it.The venue was perfect. Intimate and beautiful without being too formal.Just fifty people we actually loved instead of two hundred business obligations.The garden setting felt right for Lily. Natural and artistic and full of life.Flowers everywhere creating something that looked like a painting. Soft music playing. Afternoon sunlight filtering through the glass ceiling.Everything exactly as we'd planned during those late-night conversations about what we really wanted.No press. No cameras. No Victor threats.Just us and the people who genuinely cared celebrating something real.James stood beside me as my best man looking proud and emotional."You good?" He asked quietly."Terrified." I admitted. "What if I cry during my vows? What if I forget what I wanted to say?""Then you cry and forget and Lily loves you anyway." James smiled. "That's the

Alexander's POVI listened to Lily's vows and felt my heart break open in the best possible way.She talked about thinking I was everything wrong with the business world when we first met.About how I'd surprised her by showing layers she didn't expect.Every word reminded me of our journey from enemies to this moment."You challenged me to be stronger than I knew I could be." Her voice shook with emotion. "You refused to let me hide behind self-doubt or fear."I remembered those early board meetings where I'd pushed her hard.Too hard sometimes. Cruel in ways I regretted now.But she'd pushed back instead of breaking. Stood her ground instead of running."You fought beside me when my life was threatened." Lily was crying openly now. "You believed in me when the board doubted."Those months of Victor's threats felt like a different lifetime now.The fear and danger and constant vigilance all worth it because we'd survived together.We'd become stronger through the battles instead of l

Alexander's POVThe reception unfolded in the beautiful garden setting exactly as we'd planned.String lights created a warm glow as the sun set. Music played softly. People danced and talked and celebrated.Everything felt magical and intimate and perfect.I stood with Lily watching our friends and family enjoy themselves."This is exactly what I wanted." She leaned against me. "No big production. Just people we love having genuine fun.""Me too." I kissed the top of her head. "Though I would have married you anywhere under any circumstances."We'd been through so much to get here. The fake wedding. The courthouse ceremony during Victor's threats. All leading to this real celebration.James found us and pulled me aside for a moment."I need to give my best man speech now before I'm too emotional later." He was already tearing up."You're already crying." I laughed. "But go ahead. Say your piece."James stood and tapped his glass to get everyone's attention.The crowd quieted and turn

Alexander's POVThe morning after our wedding, Lily and I packed for our honeymoon while our phones buzzed constantly with congratulations and well-wishes."We should probably check in with the office before we leave." I said looking at yet another email from a board member."No." Lily grabbed my phone and set it down. "We're going on honeymoon. The company can survive two weeks without us.""But what if something comes up? What if there's a crisis?" Old habits of needing to control everything were hard to break."Then James and Catherine will handle it." Lily came over and wrapped her arms around me. "That's why we built a team we can trust."She was right but letting go still felt unnatural.I'd spent my entire career being the person who handled everything. Who controlled every detail. Who couldn't trust anyone else to make important decisions.But Lily had been teaching me slowly that real leadership meant building a team strong enough to function without you.An hour later we met

Alexander's POVThe Tuscan villa exceeded every expectation I'd had when I booked it.Rolling hills covered in vineyards stretched in every direction. Olive groves dotted the landscape. Complete privacy with no neighbors for miles.This was exactly what I'd wanted for the second week of our honeymoon.No distractions. No other tourists. Just Lily and me in this beautiful place."This is incredible." Lily spun around taking in the view from our bedroom window. "How did you find this place?""A client owns several properties in Italy. When I mentioned our honeymoon, he offered this villa." I came up behind her wrapping my arms around her waist. "Said it was the most romantic spot in Tuscany.""He wasn't wrong." She leaned back against me. "It's perfect."We settled into the villa quickly, unpacking our bags and exploring every room.The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals. The library was filled with books in Italian and English. The terrace overlooked vineyards that
