LILIANA POV
Every step I make walking to him goes with my heartbeat full of love and happiness. I could see him from a distance, he was wearing a simple white suit. His smile captivates my heart, he was handsome as always. The weather today was pleasant, we were surrounded by a lot of flowers. With more than 300 blooming species of flowers, Da Lat Flower garden is the perfect place for our wedding.
Today, I will marry the man who saved me, the man who loved me more than his life. Xavier was the man for me, I am sure of that. He had manly, peppered stubble. I like those stubbles. His smile sparkled with mirth as his blue eyes were a-fire with passion. They could resemble two liquid-blue pools of flashing fire, and I always blush when he looks at me. He had defined cheekbones and the lineaments of his face including his nose were in perfect proportion to each other. He might be taller than me, but I still want to reach for his lips and kiss him over and over again. His features were similar to that of an Arab man, maybe because his father's side came from the Middle East. It was funny, but I've been fantasizing about Xavier in silence. He was my lover and like a best friend to me. Walking on this path of petals and flowers, I can say that I am the luckiest woman in this world right now.
I tightened my grip on my bouquet, I feel a little bit nervous. Maybe, I'm just excited to marry him. I am closer to him now. Beside him is his brother, Steven. I just met Steven lately. He is a businessman too, but most of his businesses are in the Philippines. Mr. Richard Blaze, their dad didn't make it today, Steven said, their dad was too busy this week. He was also a business tycoon in the Philippines. I know Mr. Blaze didn't want his son to marry me. He was against our relationship, and Xavier told me about that. Xavier was just so hard-headed that he still insisted on this wedding. With the priest, Steven, and Xavier my groom, I think their presence was enough.
I finally stood in front of my man. He reached for my hand and I can see happiness in his eyes.
"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen love," he said.
"Thank you, Xavier" I replied.
The ceremony started as the priest welcomed us. I don't pay attention much to the priest. All I can see is Xavier. I could remember those days when I suffered much, after that tragic accident three years ago. I wished to die and end my life. It was difficult at that time to live in darkness. But he never left me, he stayed by my side. He gave me strength and inspiration while in the hospital. In my darkness, he served as my light. It took me two years before I was able to see again. It was his handsome face I saw.
"I've spent almost two years, living in darkness. My life is hell. The day I once saw the light, it was your face that came into view.
You never left me in times of my suffering. You helped me get back on my feet. To believe that I can live a normal life again. Xavier,
I thought that the car accident ruined my life. But you came and saved me from that hell. You became my strength. Thank you. I love you.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"In the name of God, I, Liliana Lan, take you, Xavier Blaze, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better,
for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow."
My voice almost trembles as I tell him my vow. I've prepared for it for days. I don't remember anything until now. I am still suffering from amnesia. All I could see in my memory was Xavier and his love for me. He was my savior and my protector. For the past years, he tried to hide me from my brother. He revealed to me, a few months ago that my brother wants to kill me. My parents are dead and my brother wants to claim all our wealth.
"Liliana, the first time I saw you, I knew in my heart that you were the woman for me. I will do everything just to keep you safe.
I will protect our relationship from people who wants to destroy us. I will never allow anyone to come between us. You are for me and I am yours.
Our soul and body will be as one. Even death could never hinder me and you from being together. Stay beside me forever Lily, don't leave me."
" I love you until forever is through and beyond death.
I, Xavier, take you, Liliana Lan Reed, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer,
for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, that even death can't tear us apart. This is my promise, this is my vow."
His words were like arrows hitting my heart. I am loving him every moment of my life. And from now until forever, I would love him more and more.
The wedding ceremony went well and the priest finally declared us husband and wife.
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said.
We kissed each other. Feeling his soft lips, I felt electricity all over my body. Fairy tales do come true. To marry my prince charming and now my King is a happily ever after. He touched my face, is it as if he wanted to cry right at this moment?
I laughed, looking at him this way, it was just so cute and lovely.
I heard his brother also laughing while looking at us. I hugged him tight, I just wanted him to feel how happy I was today.
"Congratulations and best wishes to both of you!" Steven spoke.
We turned to look at him with great joy.
"Thanks, bro. Thank you for attending our special day," Xavier approached his brother to give him a hug.
Steven patted his brother on his shoulder and turned to give me a hug too.
"Please take good care of my brother, Lily," he told me.
"Yes, Steven." That is my duty from now on as Xavier's wife. I will love him and will take good care of him.
"For sure my brother is so excited about the honeymoon, aren't you X?" he teased Xavier.
They both laughed and patted each other. Steven was like a best friend to his brother Xavier. He helped us and hide me from my enemies who always plan to take my life.
Xavier took my hand and pulled me into his car. We were on our way now to his mansion. Da Lat City is our new home. We just came to this place a few months ago and started our business, the Epiphyllum resort. The resort was open to all visitors who came from other countries except the Philippines. Xavier doesn't want anyone from my country to come to our resort. This is his way to protect me, especially since my life is still in danger.
Steven's car was right behind us. It took us a few minutes before we reached home. Xavier prepared a small celebration for the three of us.
From the huge balcony of my husband's mansion, I can see the beauty of the sea and of course, our resort. We ate some food and drank wine. Steven gave us a toss and more wishes for our married life as a couple.
It took us two to three hours of talking, drinking, and laughing at Steven's jokes. He was a little drunk now, he drank too much today. Xavier was just fine. He can handle it, he was just laughing seeing his brother's state. I just drank a little wine, and I'm enjoying watching them.
"Lily, I have an important thing to tell you. You listen," Steven sat in front of me. Xavier turned to look at me and gave me a wink.
"My brother is crazy in love with you.” Steven began as he looked at his brother and then at me.
“Do not break his heart, or else he would kill you," Steven continued.
His words struck me.
LILIANA POVSteven was sleeping now in his bed, god! He was so drunk. He has been talking a lot. And Xavier told me not to mind his brother. My husband brought Steven to his room as I went to our room to have a shower and to change my clothes. For the past months, since I left that hospital in California after my treatment, Xavier never touched me even once. We kissed a lot, but that was it. We never did more than that. He brought me to beautiful places in America before we decided to come to Vietnam. During those days, we were very careful. Xavier was scared that Philip's men might find us. He wanted me to see beautiful places and appreciate the beauty of this world after I lost my sense of sight for almost two years. I thought I would never be able to see it again. Thanks to those doctors who helped me.The warm water from the shower has a gently calming effect. I am loving this feeling after a very tiring day. To be nervous and excited at the same time for my wedding was mind-blowi
LILIANA POVI felt ashamed after Xavier caught me last night, looking at his phone. He just laugh and made fun of me, he said my expression was very funny. He teased me instead. He was like this to me, all the time. Every mistake I make, he will just smile and laugh. My husband was such a happy person. He told me, I was so cute while looking at him last night, with his phone in my hands. I was just shocked by his dad's message. I felt something creepy about that.He explained that his Dad was still against our relationship until now. Mr. Blaze revealed the truth in his message as something that Xavier did in the past. Xavier broke the rules of my parents and even compete with them in the business because he tried to prove to my family that he was capable of everything. He was trying to convince my parents that he was the man for me. I knew about my parent's disagreement in our relationship. I can't remember anything, I just believed everything my husband told me.My parent's died a fe
LILIANA POVI can't understand why my husband is becoming protective right now. I can't see any threat in the old man's presence."Xavier, who is he?" I asked calmly. I want to break the ice. I can feel the tension built within my husband."She is alive Mr. McKinley. What are you talking about? I think you are still sick," I felt Xavier's grip tighten on my hands."Sorry, Mr. Blaze. I think I heard before that this girl is dead," the old man laughed."She is alive Sir. After that accident a few years ago. She survived and now, she is my wife," my husband continued.The old man looked at me then at my husband."Sorry for the confusion," the old man rubbed his forehead."Being old creates a lot of confusion sometimes Mr. Mckinley, well, how are you?" Xavier pulled me closer again to wrap his hands around my shoulder."Yes, I’m good. By the way, this is my grandchild. My one and only grandchild, her name is Elsa," he introduced."Good day, ma'am and sir," she greeted politely.She is cut
LILIANA POVI was panting hard after I gave my sweet release. I didn't mind the splash of water that was wasted from the tub as I moved faster up and down in my husband's lap.I can't believe, I was able to make my husband cum with that. "I'm so proud of you love, you made me crazy a while ago," he whispered as we cleaned our bodies with a soft towel.I closed my eyes and tried to hide my expression from him. I don't know why I feel this way, I shouldn't be shy. We are husband and wife in the first place. I have to please my husband.I can't even look at him right now. He walked out of the bathroom to wear his clothes and I followed him.I was behind him and I could see his broad shoulders. He was already my husband, I can do anything I want to his body, but here I am, admiring his figure. His phone rang and he picked up the call. He walked to the balcony of our hotel room. It could be his father, brother, or his business partner. I always respect his privacy.I put on my nightgown
LILIANA POVXavier is busy at the moment. Since we arrived home, he never stopped reviewing the CCTV footage around the house, including those in our resort. He was angry with his men for allowing this to happen. Someone tried to get into our house and took some photos of the place.I am now outside my husband's office. He just finished his meeting with his security personnel. I believed they discussed a lot of things. I am sure my husband is tired right now. One of the attendants told me that he didn't eat dinner yet so I decided to bring him food.I knocked on the door and decided to come in.Xavier was sitting on his chair as his head rested on the table."Xavier," I called him and he raised his head to meet my gaze.He looks so tired. It is 11:00 p.m. now."I brought you some food, here, let's eat. You didn't eat dinner." I placed the tray of food on the table."Thank you, love," his voice sounds exhausted.He stood up and approached me. He hugs me tight and I hug him back.I want
LILIANA POVIt took more than an hour before we finished the meeting. Everything is in place, I hope my staff can finish all the tasks on time. I need to make sure that everything will be prepared. It is summertime in Vietnam, most visitors would come to this country by this time. This is considered to be the peak season for the resorts in Da Lat City.I was fixing some documents on the table when I remember the man I met earlier today. I was supposed to ask him a question but Rosie called me and reminded me about the meeting. He waved goodbye and I just smile and walked away from him.I can't erase him from my mind. Maybe I met him before or he could be a part of my life before the accident happened.I heard three knocks on the door and my husband came in. I smiled and I felt the butterflies inside my stomach. It was nice to see him after busy hours.I walked closer to him and kissed him."How are you love? Sorry, I need to start working early today. I left you in the bedroom before
LILIANA POVI almost jump out of my skin when Xavier spoke by my side. I didn't expect him to come back too soon."Ahm, well, it was one of our guests Xavier. That was Takashi. He just talked to me and shared his impression of the place. And he said he liked it hear." I explained.He moved closer and pulled me closer to him. I can feel the hardness of his chest."Yes, I know love. Sorry, I am not used to seeing you talking with another man. But that was good, at least they have a positive review on our resort," he responds.My husband looks so tired. It was indeed a very tiring day for both of us."Xavier, I think it is time to go home." I invited him. He agreed with me. I went back to my office to gather my things. Rosie will stay for a while to finish some remaining tasks.I went down the building and found my husband with the bodyguards waiting for me.It took us 5 minutes before we reached our home from the office. The distance between the mansion and the resort was just about a f
LILIANA POVI am in Xavier's car. He decided to drive for me while the bodyguards are in another car, behind us. I am looking outside from the car's window. Still, I can't forget the dream I had last night. It was so strange, it seems that the dream left a great impact on me. That even, until now, I can't forget about it. I remember the woman in that dream, she was in danger."Love, are you alright?" I turned to look at my husband."Sorry, Xavier. I just can't forget the nightmare from last night," I want to be honest with him."I told you, Lily, it was just a dream. You shouldn't take it seriously. Maybe, you feel that way, because it was your first nightmare. Maybe before the accident and before you lost all your memories, you had bad dreams too. So don't be bothered by that," he said."Yes, Xavier. I will make myself busy today. I need to forget that dream," I told him.He kissed my hand and then placed it on his chest. He always wants me to feel his heartbeat. The heartbeat that w
