Emma laid a hand gently on my shoulder before handing me a mirror.

“You look beautiful, Evie.” She trailed off with a smile. I did look beautiful. Rather than a makeover, she enhanced my features.

“I know you're nervous and it's normal, but girl, you're in an expensive white dress that could buy my whole family. Own the shit girl. You're a fucking billionaire’s wife now.”

I nodded. “I am a fucking billionaire’s wife.”

Oddly, saying it eased my nervousness— something Gwen, and Mrs. Thorne had tried to do. They were here a while ago but decided to give Emma and I some privacy.

We both giggled softly before relenting into the silence. I glanced at my friend again.

“Thank you, Emma,” I whispered back, my voice hoarse with emotion.

“Thank you for everything and for being my friend.”

She placed her hand gently on my cheek. “It is my absolute pleasure. Thank you for being my friend too, Evie.”

She blinked back tears as she leaned forward to throw her arms around me. My heart felt so full I was scared it would explode.

Wedding had always been my fantasy growing up. And this was exactly how I'd dreamt of it.

A perfect day with my loved ones as I took a step towards my happily ever after.

When she pulled back, she glanced at the time and gasped.

I held my breath as Emma picked up the veil. She flashed me a smile before placing it gently on my head.

“Let's go meet your prince charming.”

I rubbed my little bump before obeying.

As soon as we walked out of the room, I saw Dad, standing in the hallway.

“Thank you, Emma.” He acknowledged Emma who beamed at him as he took my hand in his arm and started to walk towards the wedding hall.

“You look very handsome, Dad.” I managed to say, ignoring the crack in my voice.

His eyes moved to mine, and I noticed they were red. Had he been crying?

Dad lifted my hand and planted a kiss on it. “You look very beautiful, my angel.”

He gave me a wink and leaned sideways to gently kiss my forehead.

“If your mother was here, she’d say the same. You’re a woman with incredible strength, and I'm proud of you, Evie. I know your mom is too.”

I blinked, fighting back the tears.

God, why was everything making me cry?

The hallway led outside, and we were now standing in front of the doors.

The nervousness slowly seeped in again.

I barely had time to prep myself when the doors were pushed open by two men dressed in black suits. They gave us a small bow before ushering us in.

The first thing I soaked in was the beauty of the hall. Accompanied by soft light and melodies, crystal chandeliers twinkled down the path I started to tread. White roses snaked across the ceiling. The pillars were snaked in white roses and other green decorative flowers.

This was just how I wanted it, simple yet elegant.
