The Daring Billionaire’s Wife by Lypstical

Liam

This is finally it, the moment I make Aileen my wife and she only needs to walk down that aisle and come to me.

As Josh stands behind me, he can't stop whispering.

"Last night was awesome at the club!"

I shut my eyes, wondering why he has to bring that up now.

"Why would you-"

"Shush! Your mom's here!"

"I know. I can see her." I force a smile, watching her walk down the aisle so she can take her seat. The camera flashes constantly go off, everyone wanting to take pictures of her in her gorgeous dress.

She elegantly takes her seat beside my father, who looks dashing and stole the spotlight when he just arrived.

Movement along the aisle catches my attention, making me look back and I'm in for a surprise when I realize it's Stephanie. I haven't spoken to her since the day she left. Even my mother said she wouldn't make it. Did they want to surprise me? Well, it worked.

In her body hugging lavender dress, she makes her way to the front, taking a seat beside her mother. It has brought me so much relief that her parents hold no grudges and understand that some relationships just can't be forced.

After a few more faces walk in, they seem unfamiliar at first but I soon recognize them when I also recognize the clothes they have on. It's Abigail and Patricia. Where's her husband?

My question is answered as soon as I ask myself that because there he is, walking beside my gorgeous bride as Meryl accompanies her behind.

Everyone is in awe at Aileen's gorgeous wedding dress embroidered with diamonds. What a beauty, I think to myself as she keeps her eyes on me.
