Elena's POV“Elena Edwards, will you do me an immense honor of becoming my wife?”“Jake? Is this true? Are you sure?” I asked him in my shaking voice.“I’ve never been this sure for anything in my life before,” he answered.I stretched my trembling hand forward, chanting yes. He didn’t waste a single second in slipping the ring onto my finger and wrapping his arms around my waist.“You have made me the luckiest man on this earth tonight,” he said.I cupped his face and pressed my lips on his, kissing him passionately. His hand was resting on my waist while his other hand was in my hair, pulling my head closer to deepen the kiss.Our kiss was sloppy, fanatical, not perfect, but the passion we were feeling was beyond any fairytale description. It felt like we couldn’t get enough of each other.Suddenly, someone yanked me away from him. I looked at the intruder to see furious Brandon glaring at us.I was confused, shocked, and angry at the same time. Jake grinned, looking at my brother n

Elena's POV“Can I have your number?” I said stopping her and handing her my phone. She took my phone and typed her number hastily before leaving.My parents looked upset but relieved at the same time. Brandon still had a frown on his face. Madeline, Alyssa, Noah, and Eric were relieved too. On the other hand, Jake was standing like a monument with his hands inside his pocket and looking at the ground.I walked to him and placed my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me then gave me a soft smile.“Are you okay?”“I’m fine. I’ll just go inside and freshen up.” He said making his way inside the manor.“Do you think it’s a coincidence that Hanna’s twin sister appeared here?” Brandon asked breaking the ice.“I think it is a coincidence,” I said.“I agree with Elena,” Madeline said.“Me too,” Alyssa said.“I think it’s pretty late and we should leave. I am really tired,” Mom said.Everyone agreed with her.“So are you coming with us?” Noah asked me.“I think I’ll stay with Jake tonight,” I

Jake's POV I held my breath as Bryan, my almost eight years old nephew, handed me a ring with a cheeky smile. I returned him a grateful smile as he made his way back to Brandon. I put the ring on her finger with a kiss on the back of her hand. “I give you this ring as a symbol of my promise.” Elena took the band from Madeline’s hand and slipped it on my finger with trembling hands. “I give you this ring as a symbol of my promise,” she repeated. “They have pledged to be loyal and loving towards each other in our presence and sealed their promises by exchanging the rings. Therefore, it is my pleasure to pronounce them husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!” The officiant said stepping away from us. Without wasting a second, I grabbed my lovely wife from her waist and pressed her to my chest. A gasp in shock escaped from her mouth. “Aren’t you too eager to kiss me, Mr. Jake Carter?” she mumbled, her breath fanning against my lips. “I’ve been dying to taste these luscious li

Jake's POV A ticklish sensation on my face ruined my peaceful slumber and forced me to open my eyes, but bright sunlight coming through the parted curtains blinded me momentarily. Groggily, I sat up on the bed and stretched my arms then opened my eyes again. The first thing that came into my view was the new room that Veronica and Jacob had renovated personally. They had done a pretty good job by keeping the contemporary elements and merging it with modern design. The memories of the last night put the huge smile on my face. My eyes went to the chair where her wedding gown was sitting — she looked like a goddess in that dress yesterday. When I saw her I wanted to take her home and do some unimaginable things to her. Unfortunately, it was mandatory for the bride and groom to attend their wedding reception. I turned to my left and found my wife snuggled in the pillows. Her beautiful face was glowing, her cheeks were still flush, her pink lips were in a natural pout, and her bare tor

Elena's POV:I took the glass of champagne from the waiter and made my way towards the man, who had decided to empty every single bottle of alcohol available in the bar."Look who has graced us with their presence, " I said standing beside him–close enough to smell his enchanting cologne with the hint of scotch."Did you really think I would miss the opportunity of seeing my best friend getting life-sentenced?" He said taking another swig of the scotch."But I thought you were here for the free whiskey," I mumbled.His green eyes finally landed on me and he looked at the champagne glass in my hand with the frown."Are you even old enough to drink, princess?" Jake said, his voice suddenly sounded huskier.​The grip of my hand tightened around the glass that I was holding in a desperate attempt to stop myself from hugging him.I didn't know why I'd always loved hearing this endearment from him. Whenever he called me a princess, it gave me shivers."I am old enough to decide when to sto
