Chapter 31: The Wedding (Part 4-Rehearsal Dinner Cont…).

Nova-“You look beautiful.”The low sound of Nicolai’s voice sent a pleasant shiver racing down my spine.The dangerous kind.The kind that made me question whether showing up late to our own rehearsal dinner would really be that terrible.After a morning of shopping, the girls and I spent the afternoon at a luxury spa, followed by hair, makeup, and enough pampering to make me feel like royalty.By the time Chloe and I returned to the penthouse, it was nearly two in the afternoon.Nicolai was already home. The second I saw him, my entire mood lifted.“Soooo...” Chloe announced dramatically. “What do you think, future brother-in-law? Doesn't her hair and makeup look flawless?”She proudly placed both hands on her hips. Nicolai's eyes immediately found mine. His smile was warm.“She’s gorgeous.”The look he gave me made my heart skip.“I take it you and my sister played a huge part in this masterpiece?”Chloe beamed.“Absolutely. Every second of it. I swear, Perra is my spirit animal.”

Chapter 32: The Wedding (Part-5: The Country Club).

Julia & Patrice-The Day before the rehearsal dinner…Julia Pierce sat at one of the premium tables inside Crown & Crest Country Club, delicately stirring her tea while the monthly Garden Club meeting carried on around her.“Julia, you must be buried in wedding planning right now!”Whitney Moore laughed as she leaned forward.“Oh, absolutely,” Marla Howard agreed. “The dresses, the flowers, the cake, the venue—I'd be exhausted!”A pleased smile appeared on Julia's face.“Well, Tanya certainly has elegant taste. We're actually visiting a few venues next week.”The women nodded approvingly. Then Olivia Taylor, the Garden Club president, tilted her head.“Isn't Nova getting married in two days?”The smile nearly slipped from Julia's lips.“Have you not been involved in her wedding?”Several heads turned toward her.Julia froze.Of course it had to be Olivia.Olivia Taylor wasn't just the wife of Senator Jonathan Taylor. She was also Carolyn Banks' closest friend, and neither woman had ev

Chapter 33: The Wedding (Part-6: Rehearsal dinner finale).

Nova-“Nova! You look absolutely beautiful!”A familiar voice cut through the crowd just as I stepped into the dining hall.“Joyce!”I laughed and threw my arms around her.“I'm so glad you made it!”Joyce Bryer had been one of my closest friends at Lexington University. Seeing her standing here felt like a piece of my old life walking into my new one.“Are you kidding?” she said. “There was no way I was missing this.”I smiled and pulled Nicolai closer.“Joyce, this is my fiancé, Nicolai.”Nicolai offered his hand.“It's a pleasure to finally meet you.”Joyce shook it, though she looked slightly overwhelmed.“Y-You too. And please...” Her smile softened as she glanced at me. “Take care of this one for us. We love her very much.”Nicolai's expression immediately warmed.“You have my word.”His eyes found mine.“I'll take great care of her.”Heat rushed to my cheeks.Immediately.The rehearsal dinner was already off to a perfect start.Patrice and Perra had gone above and beyond. Not o

Chapter 34: The Wedding (Part 7-The Ceremony One)

Nova-I woke up just after nine the next morning with a dull ache behind my eyes.Yep.I had definitely drunk too much last night.Since neither Nicolai and I had wanted separate bachelor and bachelorette parties, we’d decided to celebrate together with a pre-wedding karaoke night.And celebrate we did.There had been singing, ridiculous challenges, nonstop laughter, and enough alcohol to keep an entire wedding party entertained for a week.Most of my friends had stayed the night, along with several of Perra’s and Nicolai’s closest friends and cousins.The whole thing had been absolute chaos.Wonderful chaos.“I didn’t know she could actually sing!”Jamie had shouted when I started belting out a popular R&B song.“Wait a damn minute, Nova!” Perra yelled. “You can sing?”“Yesss! My Honey-Bee is the best!”Chloe’s enthusiastic cheering had only made everyone laugh harder. The entire evening felt unforgettable. In fact, I wasn’t even sure how I’d made it back to my room.The last thing I
