Ella POV 

Just as I was beginning to lose myself in the kiss, the front door burst open. My mother’s surprised gasp cut through the moment, and I quickly pulled away from Alexander, heat rushing to my face in mortified embarrassment. 

Alexander laughed under his breath–a soft, warm sound–and when I looked up, I found him smiling fondly at me, completely unbothered. 

“My goodness,” my mother said, a teasing lilt in her voice I see the wedding is coming just in time–you two can hardly control yourselves.” 

“Mother!” I exclaimed, my cheeks burning even hotter. 

“My apologies, Mrs. Rowan,” Alexander said smoothly, his usual charming smile firmly in place. 

“No need to apologize,” she replied, clearly amused. “I assume from your goodbye kiss that you won’t be joining us for dinner?” 

Alexander shook his head. “Unfortunately, I have too much work to do. After all, we’re almost out of time.” 

“True enough,” my mother said. “Does that mean things went well today?” 

“Yes,” Alexander replied. “We’ve chosen the wine, and it will be delivered here tonight–if that’s still all right with you?” 

“Of course,” my mother said. “We have plenty of space to store it.” 

“In that case, I’d better stop procrastinating,” Alexander said, turning back to me with a soft smile. He leaned in and kissed me lightly on the cheek. “Have a good night,” he murmured, his voice low and intimate. “We’ll talk soon.” 

“Good night,” I managed to say, my face burning all over again. He gave me a knowing look before turning and heading back to the car, leaving me flustered on the doorstep. 

I went inside with my mother, feeling the weight of her amused expression. 

“Don’t laugh at me,” I said, my embarrassment still fresh. 

“I’m not laughing at you,” she replied gently. “I’m happy for you. Alexander truly seems to make you happy.” 

“He does,” I admitted, the warmth in my chest softening the sting of embarrassment. 

“Good,” my mother said with a nod. “Now, why don’t you get some rest? You look exhausted.” 

“I feel it,” I agreed, letting out a long sigh. 

The rest of the evening passed without much incident. Alexander and I exchanged a few texts confirming some final details for the wedding, but most of the work was done. 

All that was left now was to wait for the big day. 

Strangely, the waiting made me anxious, despite this not being my first wedding. Still, I managed to quiet my nerves as the night wore on, and by the time I crawled into bed, I felt more at ease. 

That is, until I was awakened by strange sounds in the night 

I sat bolt upright, my heart pounding. The muffled shouts of our guards outside reached my ears, and fear gripped

me like a vice. Throwing on my robe, I rushed downstairs, clutching it tightly around me. 

My parents were already there. My mother immediately wrapped her arms around me, holding me close as though she feared I might run headfirst into the unknown danger outside. 

I clung to my mother, my mind racing as fear coiled tightly in my chest. Whatever was happening outside, it was enough to rattle even our well–trained security. And that terrified me most of all. 

“What is it?” I asked, panic thick in my voice. “What’s going on?“”
