“You can. If you’re sure you can win the fight.” Damiano said as he pulled me into him.

“Are you saying I’m weak?” Raffaele scoffed.

“No, but Renzo is a cage fighter. He has never lost a fight.” He added. Raffaele looked back at Renzo and rubbed his chin.

“I could always shoot him.”

“Okay, that’s enough. No one is punching or shooting anyone.” I gave a stern glare to both of them.

“I just tried to help.” Damiano shrugged.

“Yeah, by sending him to his death.” I replied.

“So far, I’m only getting insults from you both.” Raffaele gave us a sarcastic smile.

“Listen, she’s obviously doing this to get a reaction from you because she has been glancing your way throughout the evening. You don’t need to fight him, or freaking kill him. Just go up to her and show him she’s yours; show her you’re serious about her.” I smiled, and he nodded a few times, taking in the information.

“Okay. How do I look?” He straightened out his dress shirt and made sure his hair was in place.

“Handsome! Now, go get her tiger.” I smiled.

Raffaele’s gaze shifted towards Ava, who was still deep in conversation with Renzo.

“Ava!” He shouted, attracting attention to him, and practically stormed towards her. My jaw hung open as this was not how I meant he should do it.

Ava turned around to look at him, and Raffaele grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. It didn’t take long before Ava wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

“Huh… I guess he could do it like that.” I said in surprise.

“Took him long enough.” Damiano commented, and I chuckled in agreement. As I glanced around, something caught my eye. I looked across the other side of the water, and my gaze fixed on the mountain that curved around.

“Damiano, look!” I gasped and pointed.

Luca was down on one knee!

I waited in anticipation as we could only see them and not hear them. It felt like the longest moment before Cecilia leapt into his arms.

“About time. But I still did it better.”

“Not everything is a competition.” I laughed at his comment.

“You’re right. No one can compete with me.” He looked at me with a teasing look. I shook my head with a playful roll of my eyes and leaned into him, sighing blissfully.

Everything is perfect.

Althaia

I made one last round of checks in the massive banquet hall before the wedding ceremony. Everything looked like it belonged in a fairytale, and Cara deserved every single moment of it.

Her wedding was being held in a gorgeous castle, and the reception banquet was exquisitely decorated in all white; even the floor featured a beautiful glossy white design. The ceiling was stunningly adorned with flowery chandeliers, and long white vine flowers hung down, almost creating a beautiful curtain of white blossoms.

Pleased with the work that had been done, I walked up the stairs and down the long hall in the direction of the master suite to check on Cara.

The moment I opened the door, I was struck speechless by the breathtaking sight that greeted me.

Cara in an off-shoulder Cinderella-esque wedding gown with gorgeous streaks of silver design. It had beautiful diamonds and pearls stitched to it, making the entire dress sparkle.
