Alden and Serenity set off on a short trip to Santorini. They left Emma and Laura in charge of the kids, ensuring they were well–protected by a top–tier security team that Alden himself had hired.

Alden knew how much Serenity loved photography, and Santorini was a paradise for capturing breathtaking shots. The moment she had once mentioned wanting to visit the island, he had made up his mind–this would be their improvised honeymoon.

Ironically, Santorini was the same place where, twenty–three years ago, Mary and Maximus had spent their own disastrous honeymoon. It was the same destination, but not the same people. Mary had never told her daughter about that part of her past–she was ashamed to admit that she had almost betrayed her father.

“Where are we going, Alden?” Serenity asked curiously as they arrived at the airport.

“It’s a surprise! I know you’re going to love it.“”

“Hmm… Don’t tell me we’re going to Valentia?”

“Of course not! You’ll find out in six hours.”

Serenity laughed as they boarded a private jet. Once they settled in, Alden turned to face her.

“My love, you’re my wife now, and I want to make you happy–every single day that we’re together. I know we didn’t get the big ceremony you might have wanted, but I want to make it up to you with our honeymoon. I promise you’re going to love it.”

“Alden, I’m already happy just being with you. I’ve been happy ever since I chose you to be in my life. You, me, and our baby–we’re about to start our own family. Even if our parents don’t agree, we’ll be fine, because as long as we’re together, we can build our home anywhere.”

Alden gently lifted her chin, bringing her face close to his before pressing a tender kiss to her lips.
