The EMTs spoke to his wife when she started to regain consciousness, and after a round of questioning, and a still-groggy Cat also inadvertently letting slip that she was hoping she had swooned because her husband was such a gorgeousromantic—-
That wasn't the case either.
Because apparently, his wife had been so lost in her heartbreak that she had forgotten to eat in the past twenty-four hours, and that was it.
Swoon.
Epilogue
EZIO MADE SURE TO FEEDhis wife on the morning of their wedding, which this time was made known to the public and held aboard the same yacht that they had first met. Their guest list was an incredible mix of celebrities and (alleged) criminals, billionaires and FBI agents, and the worst thing of all was that it also included the Beast of New York himself, who was the sole reason Ezio wasn't taking any chances with his wife's appetite.
He had to make sure she would not go hungry in the next few hours and have her accidentally swoon in another man's arms.
Least of all Lorenzo Anghileri, whose dealings withLa Stregahe and his brothers still weren't privy to.
When they were pronounced man and wife, and an evening of music and dancing followed, Ezio also made sure to keep his wife as far away from the railings as possible, not wanting to risk having her fall overboard.
Cat reached up to cup her husband's face. "I really,reallylove that you're acting like Kevin Costner'sThe Bodyguardright now, but...this is our wedding, so please stop worrying about me, and let's just enjoy ourselves? Please?"
He was about to say no.
No fucking way would he enjoy himself while someone like Lorenzo Anghileri was around, ready at any moment to pounce on his wife the moment he had the chance.
But then he saw it.
In the corner of his eye.
The Beast of New York, staring at Ezio's baby sister.
Things finally started making sense.
And Ezio started breathing a little more easily.
Cat was stunned when her husband suddenly smiled down at her, and he looked so, so beautiful at that moment it took her breath away.
Wow.
How could she be so lucky—-
"Yo, quiet down, everyone!"
It was the same DJ they had invited five years ago, and just like before, he reigned over them from the pool deck like a modern-day pied piper.
"Will you all be so kind and raise your glasses to our newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Ezio Marchetti!"
Cat couldn't help but blush as all eyes turned to them. She still wasn't used to being the center of attention like this, and she doubted she would ever be so.
"And for this very special occasion, we've even got our groom writing a surprise message for his beautiful bride, and it is my absolute pleasure to read it out loud for everyone."
My Dearest Cattleya,
I thank God for choosing me to become your husband.
And even though I was too blind a fool not to know what you meant to me five years ago—-
Thank you for waiting for me.
I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
