Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." Nobody objected. Michael and I breathed out in relief in sync- and laughed at each other. Had we really held our breaths and expected the worst?

Lucas leaned against the headboard, his sharp eyes locking onto mine. "Not now," he said, a slow smirk playing on his lips. "Why rush? We're living like the perfect couple."

"I will!" … Three months later, Caleb and I held a grand wedding in Mordova. With tears in his eyes and a tremor in his voice, he vowed, "The first time I met you, I dreamed of becoming your husband.

"You didn't fix him. He wasn't broken. But you made him better. Made him want to be better. That's what real love does." Chloe was crying. Happy tears streaming. "Chloe, my little sister. The person I helped raise. Protected. Worried about constantly." He smiled. "Letting you grow up was hard. Watching you fall in love was harder. But watching you marry the right person? That's easy. Because Marcus is right for you. Completely. Perfectly." He took a breath. Looked at both of them. "Marriage isn't about perfection. It's not about never fighting or never struggling.

Patrick had made up his mind, and I wasn’t sure anything I would say would make him reconsider his decision. As my eyes darted toward the divorce papers, a lone tear dropped down from my eye.

Kayla agreed to Lucian's proposal. She told herself that this might be the price of finally leaving the Hudson family and Luke behind. Looking at the big picture, only the Graham family could rival the Hudsons now. Once she married Lucian, there was no way Luke could forcibly take her, no matter how he refused to accept it.
