Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Saturday Wedding Vows

Caleb’s POV

After the medical team departed from our penthouse, I pulled Ivy against my chest, pressing my lips to Max’s forehead as he rested in her arms. The terror that had consumed me during those hellish days finally began to recede, replaced by fierce relief that burned through my veins like fire. Never again would I allow them to slip through my fingers into enemy hands.

"My beautiful queen, you cannot comprehend the agony that tore through me these past few days. Knowing my entire world was trapped in Roman’s filthy hands nearly shattered what remains of my sanity. The rage consumed every fiber of my being, threatening to burn down everything I had built if it meant getting you both back," I whispered against her hair, threading our fingers together as we found ourselves alone in the sanctuary of our home.

"I descended into madness the moment we discovered Roman had taken our son," Ivy’s voice trembled with residual fear, her emerald eyes still reflecting the shadows of our recent nightmare.

I brushed my lips across her temple before carefully lifting Max into my arms, guiding Ivy to settle beside me on the leather sofa. Here we were, a complete family unit forged in blood and violence, basking in the overwhelming love that crackled between us like electricity in the storm. Sleep gradually claimed our boy, his soft breathing creating a gentle rhythm against my chest while his small fingers splayed across the fabric of my shirt with complete trust. The warmth of my woman pressed against my side, her head finding its natural place on my shoulder, created a perfect moment of peace in our world of chaos and gunfire.

Family had been nothing but a distant memory since my parents fell to Roman’s car bomb. How desperately I had craved this solid foundation, someone who could look past the blood on my hands and the bodies in my wake, who would stand by my side through any war while loving me without conditions. Gratitude and possessive joy swelled within my chest as we existed as one united force against the darkness.

"Tesoro, I need to make you my wife immediately. We should take advantage of your parents being here in the city. If you want anyone else from your hometown to witness our blood oath, I will have them flown in within hours," I murmured, placing another reverent kiss atop her silken hair.

"What exactly are you suggesting? A wedding this week? Because I seriously doubt my father has any intention of extending his stay beyond that timeframe," Ivy responded with that sharp edge I had grown to adore, though my expression remained deadly serious.

"I want to marry you today. Tomorrow is the absolute latest I can tolerate." Her eyes widened in shock at my declaration, surprise painting her beautiful features.

"You cannot be serious."

"I am completely serious," I stated with the same finality I used when ordering executions. "You mentioned wanting a garden ceremony at our estate. I have the resources and connections to orchestrate everything according to your exact specifications. But I refuse to wait any longer."
