Antonio texted Janelle: “Since we’re having a baby, let’s get married soon. We’ll have a small wedding now. My family thinks it’s best since you’re pregnant and shouldn’t stress. Next year, after the baby’s born, we can have a big one.”

Janelle took the bait and replied with a heart emoji.

“Gotcha,” Antonio whispered with a smirk.

The Kaufman family’s suburban estate, usually kept for special occasions, was buzzing on Saturday night.

All of Antonio’s friends were invited. Chatter and laughter about the night’s events filled the venue.

“Hey, I heard Mr. Kaufman is getting hitched, but where’s his family?” one asked.

“You didn’t hear? He’s doing all this for the bride. He had a big fallout with his family over the marriage. After tonight, the Kaufman family will have to accept her, whether they like it or not,” another replied.

“What a move! Who’s the lucky girl?”

“She’s Antonio’s first love, a real Cinderella about to become a princess.”

Janelle basked in the whispered admiration. Her smile grew wider as she took in the vibrant roses around.
