Chapter 221
The sun peeked through a cloudless sky, painting the city in hues of gold. The scent of fresh blooms filled the air, mingling with the sound of cheerful chatter as the morning came alive. Evelyn stood in front of the full-length mirror in the penthouse suite of Stone Palace Hotel-- the same room where she and Derek's love story had begun-staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her wedding gown was a dream-a cascade of soft blush satin with silky lace adorning the bodice and sleeves. The gown flowed gracefully to the ground, its soft fabric catching the light as she moved
As she turned, the layers of tulle and silk gently swayed, revealing a subtle glint that sparkled like the stars in the evening sky. The blush hue of the dress complemented her glowing complexion, adding a romantic touch to her overall look.
A diamond tiara and a bouquet of white lilies and blush roses completed her enchanting appearance. At that moment, she truly looked like a vision of love and beauty, ready to embark on her new journey. Samantha stood by her side in a matching flower girl dress, her eyes wide with excitement as she clutched a basket of flower petals.
"Mommy, you look like a fairytale princess!" Samantha exclaimed, spinning in her own dress.
Evelyn laughed softly, crouching to her daughter's level. "Thanks, baby. But you are the princess here," she said, adjusting Samantha's flower crown. "Are you ready to be the best flower girl ever?" Samantha nodded with excitement, twirling around.
Rayna and Maya entered the room with a wide smile on their faces. While Rayna was elegantly dressed in her maid of honor gown-a mauve gown, Maya was dressed in a soft lavender gown. "Ready, bride-to-be?" Maya asked, her eyes shining with happiness.
In the weeks following Derek's proposal, Maya had bonded well with Evelyn, Rayna, and all the others, and now she didn't feel as out of place as she had initially felt.
"As ready as I'll ever be""" Evelyn replied, her voice steady despite the fluttering butterflies in her stomach.
"Even if you aren't, you will be fine. Derek has been ready to marry you since the day you met," Rayna said, and Evelyn laughed softly.
"Evie, it's time!" Claire called from the doorway.
Evelyn took a deep breath, her heart racing. "Okay, let's do this."
"You've got this, Rayna said, squeezing Evelyn's hand.
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite, Derek was flanked on both sides by Ethan and Liam, all of whom were dressed in sharp suits.
Like Maya, Liam had also spent some time bonding with the guys over sports and drinks, and now he could say he had friends in Ludus.
Ethan, whose casts had been taken off, adjusted Derek's tie.
"Nervous?" He asked with a smirk.
"Not at all" Derek said confidently, though the slight tremor in his hands as he fastened his cufflinks gave him away.
"Your hands are shaking," Liam pointed out with a laugh, and Ethan joined in.
Derek scowled at him, "If you were marrying Evelyn, your whole body would shake, too. But you wouldn't know because she friend-zoned you," Derek said, and Ethan chuckled while Liam glared at Derek. "How many times do I have to tell you that I wasn't friend-zoned?
Do you think you would have stood a chance had I asked her out while we were in Husla?" Liam asked, and Derek snorted.
