Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 2 What Was She Up To

"My name is Elyse Lloyd. If it's all right with you, we can get married today," she proposed confidently.

Her bold proposal left the crowd in shock, prompting several to capture the moment with their phones.

"Miss Lloyd, are you certain about this decision? Given my disability, I may not be able to provide the future you envision," the man replied openly, without hiding his condition, and gently urged her to think it over.

"I've made up my mind," Elyse responded with determination.

"I'm Jayden," he introduced himself.

Seeing her resolve, Jayden Owen grasped her hand and shared his concern, "I fear you might regret this choice later on."

Elyse chose not to respond. She was sure of her decision. She had once been solely focused on marrying Theo, who never truly reciprocated her love. Now, who she married seemed inconsequential.

After efficiently wrapping up the wedding formalities at City Hall, Elyse and Jayden were now bound by matrimony, officially united as husband and wife.
