Chapter 203

Alexci’s proposal was understated, but the wedding itself was magnificent.

Before the ceremony, he signed an asset transfer agreement for her.

“I’m not certain how long love’s shelf life truly is. Even though I’m confident our love will last forever, I won’t wager on the fragility of human hearts, not even my own. As the saying goes, interests are the most reliable allies. So I entrust to you everything I own, everything I am. If I ever betray you, you can walk away with this, leaving me penniless and utterly defeated. Natasha, from this moment on, you are the rightful master of the Turner family. I am merely your knight, sworn to serve you,” Alexei said.

This was Alexei’s vow of loyalty, his binding covenant.

If marriage were a gamble, then Alexei had wagered his entire being.

Natasha smiled in response, “Aren’t you afraid I might regret it first?”

The agreement was written entirely to bind him.

“If you ever regret it, it will mean I have not done well enough.

“But wherever you go, I will find you,” he swore.

“Alexei,” she said, holding the contract as she sat in his lap, smiling as she pinched his face, “you could just say you won’t let me take it back.”

Alexei let her have her way, affectionately brushing his nose against her cheek. He murmured, “Would you?”

“No,” she answered solemnly. “Once the die is cast, there is no turning back. I would rather go all the way.”

Alexei chuckled softly in response, “It seems we both have great faith in ourselves.”

Only Natasha and Alexei could make this marriage endure.

Natasha signed the agreement.

Fortunately, through the decades they shared until the end of their lives, the contract lay forgotten, gathering dust in a corner, never once needing to be brought forth.

Alexei personally oversaw every detail of their wedding, obsessing over perfection in every respect.

Shawn watched the exhausted wedding planners, run ragged by Alexei’s meticulous demands, and could not help but pity them.

‘Mr. Turner treated this wedding with even greater caution than deals worth hundreds of billions.

‘So much for those who said it was only business, not love, he pondered.

With Alexei tirelessly managing every aspect, Natasha, the carefree bride–to–be, spent her days happily enjoying herself with Sadie and her friends.

Yet, as the day drew near, Natasha noticed the man at her side becoming increasingly anxious.
