Chapter 524
My throat tightened. I’d forgiven Liam a long time ago for everything that had happened between us, but hearing him actually say the words… It meant a lot more than I expected it to.
“I only ever missed you for those ten years you were gone, you know,” I whispered. “Nothing could change that.”
“I know.” He took a step closer, taking my hand in his, and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. “Thank you for always being there for me. Even when I couldn’t be there for you.”
I laughed thickly and pulled my hand away. “Don’t make me poke you in your wound, Liam.”
“I know. I know.” He chuckled, then pulled me in for a hug. I embraced him immediately, sinking into him. “I love you, Ella.”
I blinked back tears. “I love you too, Liam.”
Anya returned a moment later, breathless and flushed. “Okay, we’re ready. Everyone’s in position. The officiant is waiting. Are you ready?”
I looked at Liam, then at Anya, then down at the dress I was wearing. My hand drifted to my belly, where my daughters were growing. Maria and Lilith. Two souls given a second chance.
“Yeah,” I said. “I’m ready.”
Anya handed me a bouquet–white roses mixed with blue forget–me–nots. Liam offered me his arm, and I took it.
“Let’s go get you married,” he said with a wink. “For real this time.”
We walked back out to the square together. The crowd had rearranged themselves, creating an aisle down the center. Chairs had been set up in rows, and people were still scrambling to find seats. At the front of the aisle, Alexander was waiting beside the officiant.
When he saw me, his face lit up.
Music started playing, and Liam and I began walking down the aisle. People were staring, some crying, others smiling. I saw Hunter near the front, holding Lucien in his arms. Our son was reaching for me, babbling excitedly.
