Ella POV

I stood in the dimly lit hallway, waiting for my moment to walk down the aisle. My nerves were strung so tightly that I felt as though they might snap.

I had just watched Elizabeth depart, arm in arm with Michael who was Alexander’s best man. She looked absolutely stunning in her baby–blue dress, her hair and makeup done to perfection.

Now, it was my turn.

My father stood beside me, his hand resting gently on my back in a comforting gesture. The butterflies in my stomach were so intense they felt more like wild, fluttering birds, and for a moment, I worried I might be sick.

The last time I’d done this–marrying David in the original timeline–I had been excited and love–struck. But this… this was entirely different.

My feelings were a storm of intensity, overwhelming and raw. It unsettled me to have such a strong reaction to a wedding that wasn’t supposed to be about love.

The faint sound of the string quartet drifted through the hallway, the soft strains of their beautiful music marking the moments until my cue to walk. My dress–a breathtaking snow–white gown embroidered with delicate golden roses–felt strangely heavy, its weight pressing down on me.

The sweet fragrance of my bouquet wafted up to me, and I took deep, deliberate breaths in an attempt to steady my nerves. I couldn’t understand why this felt so final. It wouldn’t last, that was our agreement.

Yet, I felt like my life would never be the same again.

“Are you all right?” my father asked gently, his voice a quiet anchor in the chaos of my thoughts.

I nodded, but words escaped me. Thankfully, he didn’t press further.

Steeling myself, I took a step forward and peeked around the corner. The aisle stretched before me, a path lined with elegantly arranged flowers and flickering candlelight.

Elizabeth stood beside my place at the altar, a reassuring presence. Michael was next to Alexander, who waited at the end of the aisle, tall and commanding in his perfectly tailored suit.

The room was packed, filled with guests from across the kingdom. This was exactly what I had envisioned–a grand display, a spectacle to rival any royal wedding. Yet the idea of standing before them all, with their eyes fixed. on me, filled me with an almost suffocating anxiety.

The music shifted, signaling that it was time.

I turned to my father.

He placed both hands on my shoulders, his gaze steady and full of pride. “You can do this,” he said, his voice warm and unwavering. “I’m right here, whenever you’re ready.”

I smiled, grateful for my father’s steady support, and with one last deep breath, I linked my arm with his. Together, we stepped out onto the aisle.

A ripple of sharp intakes of breath greeted me as I entered the room, the sound soft but unmistakable. The long train of my gown trailed gracefully behind me, and the flickering candlelight cast a warm, golden glow over the space.

The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of the flowers, giving the room an almost dreamlike quality.

But none of it mattered. My eyes were fixed solely on Alexander. He stood at the altar, his gaze unwavering and his smile so genuine it made my heart skip a beat.
