CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Vincent
M y beautiful little raven was distraught when she came home two nights ago after dinner with her mother.
My heart breaks for her, but relief sits above it all because she is still going ahead with the wedding despite her mother’s disapproval.
She hasn’t spoken to me about it yet, about why her mom is so against it, and I’ve decided that the best thing I can do for her is to not mention it unless she wants to talk to me about it.
I think it is especially best to wait until after the wedding to face that drama and try to smooth things over with her mother.
I think once the woman meets me, I will charm her into seeing that I am good for her daughter.
Regardless, her daughter belongs to me. With or without her approval.
I won’t let some old bitch stand in the way of my happiness.
She was quiet the whole of yesterday too and I just gave her the space and reassurance she needed to process things.
My little pet left early this morning. The wedding is tomorrow, and she has a few things she needs to do before then, so she asked Neve to help her with the last-minute arrangements. I’m happy she is integrating herself into my family. It means a lot to me.
The more she shifts into my world - the less she will even need that mother of hers.
Still, I will try - for her sake - to win the mother over when the time is right. But from tomorrow, my family is her family.
Today my task is to finalize everything for our honeymoon and our wedding night.
I’ve booked a yacht to meet us on the beach after the reception.
We will sail off into the sunset, and our first night as a married couple will be spent beneath the stars on a luxury yacht just off the shore, where we can still see the beautiful city lights glittering.
I can’t wait and I know Misha is going to love it. She loves the ocean and the beach.
The next morning, we are sailing to Majorca in Spain where our around-the-world trip will begin.
A full year of traveling with the love of my life. That is how retirement should be spent. Exploring, adventuring, all with the most beautiful girl by my side. We can choose our next destination based on our mood. We can go anywhere and do anything.
It’s perfect.
And I can’t wait.
