“Of course I had to be here,” came the deep, enchanting voice, paired with his signature charming smile. He stood there, effortlessly captivating, and for a moment, Emily forgot she was the bride
Without hesitation, she ran forward to hug the man adored by millions, yet still here to bless her on her wedding day, despite his busy schedule.
“Adam!” Emily hugged him tightly. “I never imagined the famous superstar would actually come to my wedding.”
“Come on,” Adam chuckled, hugging her back with a fond smile. “How could I miss it? My friend is getting married. I always show up for my friends, Emily Yang.”
Aria watched their exchange with a smile. She’d known about Adam’s surprise but had kept it under wraps because he’d insisted on surprising Emily himself.
Emily had always thought of herself as a common woman, someone who wouldn’t be on the radar of a movie star like Adam Whitmore. So, when she sent the invitation, she never imagined he’d actually show up. But to her astonishment, the superstar arrived with his wife, Claire, turning the wedding into an event that was already causing a stir.
“And if I hadn’t come, who would have walked you down the aisle?” Adam teased with his trademark alluring smile.
Emily blinked, her mind racing as she tried to process what she’d just heard. She turned to Claire, standing next to Adam, who gave her a subtle nod of confirmation, mouthing a congratulation.
“Oh my god,” Emily gasped, her hands flying to her mouth, her eyes widening in disbelief. “The Adam Whitmore is going to walk me down the aisle?!”
She jokingly staggered as though about to faint, but Adam quickly caught her arm, laughing. “Careful now don’t actually faint. Wouldn’t want to steal all the attention on your big day.”
Adam’s expression softened as he looked at her, sincerity shining in his gaze. “Emily, I’m genuinely happy for you,” he said, his voice gentle but firm. “From everything I’ve heard and seen about you and Matteo, I can tell he truly loves you. But…,” he paused, his tone carrying a subtle warning, “if he ever gives you trouble, remember–you have a friend in Adam Whitmore who will shake the whole world to protect you.”
Emily’s heart swelled, emotions brimming as she looked at Adam. “Aww, I know, Adam,” she managed, her voice thick with gratitude. “But trust me, Matteo would never break my heart.”
Adam raised his eyebrows playfully, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Ah–huh! Someone’s in love!” he teased, drawing out the words in a singsong tone. Emily laughed, lightly punching his upper arm in mock
annoyance.
“Adam, did you forget us?” Gia and Maximo stepped forward, placing their little hands on their hips, striking a playful pose.
“Never, my little angels,” Adam grinned, bending down to their level and opening his arms for a hug. Gia and Maximo ran into his embrace, sharing a sweet moment that tugged at Adam’s heart. He still felt a special bond with them, almost as if they were his own and his eyes lifted toward Mia. Despite knowing she didn’t love him and had married Alessandro Valentino, he couldn’t deny that a part of his heart would
always hold a place for her

Claire overheard her husband’s words–oops, her contractual husband–and felt a stir in her heart. He wasn’t the arrogant, rude man she had once known when she worked as his PR manager. She had never seen this softer, sweeter side of him before. As she stood there, watching him with Emily, she realized how different he was now. In this moment, he wasn’t the arrogant, untouchable celebrity she’d once known- he was genuine, protective, and kind. As she watched him make Emily’s big day even more special, she realized there was so much more to him than she had ever imagined.
The black tuxedo clung perfectly to his exquisite sculpted frame, exuding elegance and confidence, while the handmade Italian shoes gleamed with a polished finish. A subtle burgundy tie added a touch of richness to the ensemble, while the diamond–studded cufflinks caught the light, sparkling like tiny stars under the bright ceiling fixtures. His face, smooth and clean–shaven, highlighted the sharpness of his features, and his dark brown hair was styled back with an effortless precision, giving him an air of undeniable sophistication. He was the picture of a modern Greek god who radiated both power and grace, effortlessly drawing all eyes to him.
Emily couldn’t take her eyes off her man as he looked so incredibly handsome. Her heart raced with excitement, and her mouth went dry with the realization that this deliciously handsome man was hers forever.

Emily pressed her lips to suppress her smile, while Matteo shot the officiant a sharp glance, though he said nothing, simply nodding in agreement. The officiant moved on, addressing the guests who had gathered for the ceremony.
Then he turned to Emily and asked, “Do you, Emily Yang, take Matteo Vinci as your husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, for better or worse, until death do you part?”
Emily looked deeply into Matteo’s eyes, her heart overflowing with love. With a steady voice, she answered, “I do.”
The officiant then turned to Matteo, asking, “Do you, Matteo Vinci, take Emily Yang as your wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health; till death do us part?”
Matteo didn’t hesitate for a moment. “Yes, I do,” he said, his voice filled with certainty, as he pulled Emily
into his arms.
“Now, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may… kiss your bride,” the officiant began, but his words trailed off as the couple kissed, not waiting for his cue. The officiant sighed and shook his head with a knowing smile, stepping aside to keep the register open for them to sign when their romantic moment had passed.
The guests and audience cheered, whistling and clapping, but suddenly, everyone stopped as the spotlight
