Aira stood there as she waited for her father to come up when Grace popped her head inside.“May I come in?” She asked“Of course. God, you look beautiful!” She said upon seeing the dress her sister was wearing.“I know,” she answered naturally, “I had my doubts when Paul insisted I wear it, but, I can’t believe it looks like this.”“That guy is a genius when it comes to things like this. Look at my dress!” Aira said and Grace looked at her and gave her a soft smile.“You look beautiful. Vincent is going to lose his mind when he sees you,” she said“Thank you,” Aira said“I’m going to miss you,” Grace said,“Why would you miss me? It’s not like I’m moving out of town,” she told her.“I know but, it feels like you’re going to be Vincent’s from now on. And we won’t be able to share you with him,” Grace said and Aira sighed mentioning for her sister to come and sit beside her."Listen to me carefully," She said taking her sister's hand in hers, "Never think that anything or anyone is goi
Vincent's POV "They say the ones who fall last fall hard. No wonder you wouldn't settle down for anyone before you met her," Said one of the two women who stood before him carrying their bags and placing them into the trunk of their cars,"Was Aira okay?" He asked worried that they might have told her something. It wasn't the best idea to have two of his exes take care of her makeup and hair on their wedding day. But this was his way of showing her what kind of life he lead and that he wasn't a heartbreaker as everyone seemed to think her was."She's more than okay. Vince, your wife is a masterpiece," Lanna said as she winked at him"You didn't touch her did you?" He growled at her,"Of course not, her friend was watching us like a hawk. She wasn't fond of the idea of bringing us there. Not that your wife seemed to mind. She's super cool. I wouldn't mind having some fun with the two of you if you're down to it,""And this is why I didn't want to bring you two here, seriously go away b
As Aira was walking down the aisle, the only thought on her mind was to get to Vincent. She clutched her father's arm as closely as she could and tried to put one foot after another.That nervousness had lasted until she saw Vincent standing there his eyes only on her not leaving her as she slowly walked toward him to the beat of the music. His eyes couldn't hide the passion in them as he looked her up and down and she felt a shiver go down her spine then her cheeks redden in embarrassment. She looked down and then up at him to find him laughing as he kept his gaze on her .She kept walking until she reached her husband who waited for her father to give her a kiss and a hug before handing her hand to him."Take care of my daughter, Valory," He told him"Dad," Aira said with a smile,"I will cherish her with my life, sir," He said looking at Aira with a soft smile and she smiled back at him.Then he took her hand up to his lips and softly kissed them then and there in front of everyone
“I heard he got her a vintage car…”“Didn’t they recently remodel his townhouse, they’re going to live there,”“That dress was made by Paul… Can you believe it? After he refused to make that actress’ wedding dress. He did it for his cousin,”“They say Vincent Valory fell in love with her in his dreams and kept looking until he found her,”“Did you see how he was looking at her earlier? I wish my husband would look at me like that from time to time,”“I heard that Gina Lee will give them this manor as a wedding gift. After all that mess with her ex’s family because she refused to let them marry her. Gina had probably been vying on someone like Valory to marry her favorite granddaughter,”Aira sighed as she leaned against the wall stretching her legs out to rest them from standing on high heels for too long. Was this recaption ever going to be over?“My. there really are all kinds of rumors out there. And the way Vincent actress during the wedding earlier didn’t help to tone them down o
"You must have met your husband right after you met William. Poor Will didn’t stand a chance against the CEO it must have been an easy pick for you…”Aira remained silent as she watched the woman talk her lungs off to them. Vincent on the other side, couldn't let it slide and he stepped forward."Excuse me?" Vincent said.The impertinent woman looked back at him with an attitude that didn't match her ridiculous argument."What I'm saying is that she didn't hesitate to move on from my brother to you. But now I can see why. Although my brother could buy you a vintage car, there's no way that he would be able to afford to make this kind of wedding for you," She said."First of all, ma'am. The vintage car you're talking about is one that I chose for Aira because she was too busy to go pick another car with the insurance money from her previous car crash. And this wedding is something that we both made, just look where you're standing and think about it a little bit more. This is Aira's g
Vincent stepped back awkwardly as Astrid, Aira’s cousin, made another attempt to feel up his arm. Aira was beside him again trembling while trying ro keep a straight face.She was wearing a long light grey dress that had long stylish sleeves and an uncovered back. She looked gorgeous.Throughout the evening, Vincent got to slowly introduce her to his familly members while her familly members attacked them on eccentric artist after another.While she’d acted exactly like she should have with his familly, being courteous and entirely distant as if their status was far beneath hers.Which it was in terms of money and power dynamics in this city. Aira rarely showed it, the day he met her she’d acted so normal and down to earth that he though she was really just a normal girl from a middle class familly. But when he had her background checked he realised how wrong he had been, and he had been impressed.Women with Aira’s status and power, people like her who had trust funds that would las
Aira looked at the huge room before her in wonder. It was a huge room occupying most of the third floor with a panoramic view looking into the city.“What do you think?“ Vincent asked behind.She turned around to look at him with a bright smile and found the hotel manager who personally showed them to their room looking at her expectantly. “I love it! The view is wonderful. And the decoration, I love how personalized everything is,”“I’m glad you like it, Mrs Valory. Mr Valory prepared this room, especially for you to suit your tastes,” the manager told her and she looked at Vincent who gave her a wink,“Do you like it, Mrs Valory?” He asked grabbing her waist and pulling her to him.“I like it very much, Mr Valory,” she said smiling and lifting her hands putting her arms on his shoulders. “O will take my leave them. Please let us know if you need anything,” the manager said as he stumbled outside.Aira waited for him to close the door behind him to chuckle leaning to the side to loo
Aira sighed as she patted Vincent on the back."Can you look up for a moment?" She asked and he mumbled a response that she couldn't hear,"What?" She asked gently as she stroked the back of his head as it rested on the brook of her neck."I want to stay like this," He mumbled"We can't stay like this the whole night," She told him with a sigh and he finally leaned back from her neck and looked at her."Do you hate it?" He asked"No, I don't..." She answered honestly and he smiled and leaned forward again with her still in his lap and pressed his forehead to hers. "You're driving me crazy, Aira Valory," He whispered,"As you do... Vincent Valory," She responded, "But we need to be careful around each other. We have to make this work for the next three years and this could complicate things a lot," "I know..." He answered, "I know, Aira," He said with a deep sigh as he leaned forward into her making their position even more intimate. There was nothing sexy about this, nothing seductiv
