~Alexander's POV~
I had stood against my own blood, sacrificed my pride, and risked my entire inheritance to ensure that he would be standing where he was about to be.
The room went silent. The heavy oak doors began to creak open.
My breath hitched.
I had seen Alis every day for years, but in this moment, the anticipation felt like a physical weight pressing against my chest. I didn't see the guests anymore. I didn't see the expensive flowers or the decorations we had spent millions on.
None of it mattered.
All I saw was the door slowly opening, light spilling through the gap.
I straightened my shoulders, my eyes fixed on that entrance, waiting for the man who was both my beginning and my end.
Waiting for my husband to walk toward me, so we could finally, officially, begin the life we had bled for.

The music played softly in the background.
The double doors finally swung wide, and the room seemed to lose its breath.
