Elisa captured the arrival of a hundred cars with her phone. The other bridesmaids drew close to the window to take videos too. After Elisa took a video, she walked back to the bed and showed it to Serenity. Serenity said with a smile, “Send me a copy of the video. I want to save it and watch it later.” Serenity would cherish the sweet memories of this day every time she was to think back to it.Zachary was true to his word. He was giving her the wedding of the century and she became the envy of every woman in the city. In fact, all women wanted to be her ever since Serenity married Zachary. Serenity felt blessed to have Zachary and his love. Zachary said that he would promise her a lifetime of love and happiness. Those were the most romantic words she had ever heard. It was the sweetest promise he could ever give her. Elisa sent a copy of the video to Serenity and said, “The photographer has been taking pictures too. You can go over them later.” Serenity replie
Knock, knock.Knocks were heard and the people inside the house commented, “That was quick.” Somebody hurried to look out the window. Zachary's bridal convoy had pulled up at the driveway, but Liberty’s driveway was too narrow to accommodate the long line of cars, especially with so many guests already parked there.Hence, half of the fleet had to park outside the estate. From above, the driveway and entrance looked like a car show, packed with fancy cars.Zachary’s usual Rolls-Royce was the wedding car. It was beautifully decorated with a large banner that read “Just Married” in bold letters.Dressed in a black suit, Zachary looked tall and handsome. He was usually solemn and unapproachable with his bodyguards surrounding him. Today, he was beaming at everybody. No wonder Elisa said Zachary would be on his best, most tolerant behavior today. The bridesmaids were free to do whatever they wanted to him. Of course, Elisa was not going to take the lead. She did not want Zachar
Since Sonny was in the room with the bridesmaids, Elisa decided to put Sonny as the first line of defense. She told Sonny, “Zachary will be up soon. Sit outside the door and stop Zachary from coming in, okay?” Sonny did not get it. He lifted his face and asked, “Uncle Zak is here to pick Aunt Ser up. Why can’t he take Aunt Ser to the ceremony? I want to see Aunt Ser walk down the aisle.” He could not be the page boy and ring bearer if Zachary did not take Serenity to the wedding ceremony. Elisa explained, “Zachary can take Serenity to the wedding, but we can’t make it easy for him. We should let him go through some hoops to get to Serenity to make sure he will cherish and be nice to her.” “But Uncle Zak is good to Aunt Ser. Why must we make things difficult for Uncle Zak?” Elisa was speechless. She slapped her hand to her forehead and said to Serenity, “Why don’t you talk to Sonny, Seren? He doesn’t need to do anything. He can just sit outside the door and stop Zachary fr
“How much is the fee?” Sonny played along because it was his favorite game to play. The boy would not say no to money. “You can collect the fee until you are satisfied.” “I don’t get satisfied easily.” Elisa grinned. “It’s all up to you, Sonny. Watch the door. Call me if you need me.” She then closed the door. Sonny looked at Zachary and said, “Uncle Zak, I need to collect the fee until I’m satisfied before you can see Aunt Ser.” Zachary took a few steps forward and gave Sonny a few bills. When Sonny took the money, Zachary picked Sonny up and said, “Sonny, I don’t want to be late to the wedding ceremony with Serenity. You’re our page boy and ring bearer. You have to go with us too. “You must help me. Don’t make it hard for me, okay?” “But I like the task Aunt Elisa gave me. I want to collect the fee. Aunt Elisa said to collect until I feel satisfied. I’m not satisfied yet.” “Come on. Here’s my fee, Sonny.” Julian gave Sonny some cash. The other groomsmen did
Zachary’s breath was taken away when he saw Serenity sitting in bed with a bright smile. He knew that his wife was beautiful, but Serenity was not one to dress up often. Today, she wore her tailored wedding dress and the jewelry he had given her. He could not take his eyes away from her lightly painted face. “The groom is blown away.”Everybody snickered. “Zachary, you must look for Seren’s glass slipper before you can whisk her away,” Elisa spoke, referring to Serenity’s wedding shoes. Zachary approached to give his wife a loving hug. After releasing her, he felt Serenity’s jewelry and asked, “Does the jewelry feel heavy?” Serenity was like the display unit of a jewelry store. She nodded her head with a smile. “I can still handle the weight.” There were a lot more jewelry pieces that she could not put on. She kept the pieces in the jewelry box, which was open for everybody to see.When Serenity first found out about Zachary’s identity, the anger of being lied to drove he
Today, Wildridge Manor opened its doors to a multitude of guests. Everybody had big smiles on their faces. The Yorks rarely hosted parties, and even if they did, the event would be held at Wiltspoon Hotel. The late Old Mr. York built Wildridge Manor for his beloved wife. Only the wedding of Zachary’s parents was held at Wildridge Manor while the rest had their weddings at their hotel. Now that it was Zachary’s turn, Grandma May insisted on having her eldest grandson’s wedding at the manor. Wiltspoon Hotel would not be open for business either. Nevertheless, York Corporation employees were invited for a celebration at the hotel. The employees could enjoy the buffet at Wiltspoon Hotel and wedding favors from attending the joyous occasion. Zachary was generous. He spread joy throughout the company to celebrate his marriage.Quinn did not know anyone, but Julian asked a lady friend to watch over Quinn for him. Of course, Quinn was not supposed to find out that he was the heir of
“Mr. Queen.” Quinn came to know from Julian that Hayden was the President of Queen Enterprise in Jensburg.Hayden was Kevin’s rumored boyfriend.Quinn was surprised that Kevin was gay. Besides, she was surprised that the Yorks were open-minded about Kevin’s sexual orientation, and the family did not even try to break them apart. Nevertheless, Quinn had to admit that Hayden was a hunk. A man of power and wealth like Kevin must have seen it all. Perhaps Hayden's aloofness was what attracted him in the first place.Quinn studied Hayden for a while, debating in her mind the reason Kevin would fall in love with Hayden. “Ms. Crawford.” Hayden was older and wiser than Quinn, having dabbled in the business world for years. She quickly picked up what was going on in Quinn’s mind. She did not try to explain anything, though. Hayden was there to attend Zachary’s wedding as the President of Queen Enterprise, not as Kevin’s girlfriend. She was representing her family. Besides, Ha
Hayden pursed her lips and said, “Next year is far away. Things don’t always go as planned.” Quinn smiled. “That’s true. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Nothing ever goes as planned.“Do you mind if we walk together, Mr. Queen?” Hayden thought about it and declined Quinn. She was blunt. “Everybody sees me as Kevin’s rumored boyfriend, and you’re Mr. Bucham’s guest. It might not look good on you to walk with me.” Quinn was not expecting Hayden to say such a thing. She replied with a smile, “I won’t insist then, Mr. Queen. You’re not what I thought you’d be, Mr. Queen.” “Were you surprised that I admitted I am Kevin’s rumored boyfriend?” Quinn nodded her head. “Yes.” Hayden smiled and said, “From the moment Kevin pursued me, people started seeing us together. The public has seen how relentless he was in his pursuit. I can give that to him.” “Mr. Queen, have you accepted Kevin as your boyfriend?” Seeing that Hayden owned up to reality without running away or get
