Chapter 28
The news spread… fast.
Too fast.
Keifer was getting married.
And not just to anyone—
To her.
Jay.
The girl who walked into his world…
And became its center.
Within hours—
Everything changed.
Phones ringing nonstop.
Meetings being canceled.
Orders being shifted.
Because this wasn't something small.
This was his wedding.
And that meant—
The most powerful people…
Were now involved.
A large hall filled with men in suits.
Voices low.
Serious.
"We need the best security."
"Every route must be sealed."
"No risks."
Not even one.
Another voice—
"The guest list?"
A pause.
"Only the most important."
Because too many people—
Meant too many dangers.
But too few—
Would be an insult.
Balance had to be perfect.
Meanwhile—
Inside another room.
Designs spread everywhere.
Dresses.
Jewelry.
Decorations.
Each more extravagant than the last.
Nothing ordinary.
Nothing simple.
Because she—
Wasn't ordinary anymore.
"She should wear something no one has ever seen."
"Custom made."
"Unique."
"Perfect."
Every detail mattered.
Every choice discussed.
Every mistake… unacceptable.
Because this wedding—
Wasn't just about love.
It was about power.
Control.
Respect.
And a message to the world.
Elsewhere—
Jay sat quietly.
Watching everything unfold.
People coming in and out.
Talking.
Planning.
Moving around her.
Like she was the center of a storm.
Her fingers lightly touched the fabric placed beside her.
Soft.
Beautiful.
Unreal.
"Do you like it?"
She looked up.
And there he was.
Keifer.
Standing at the doorway.
Watching her.
Jay smiled slightly.
"It's too much."
A small pause.
Then—
"It's not enough."
His reply came instantly.
She let out a soft laugh.
"You're impossible."
"And you're getting married to me."
A beat.
Her smile softened.
"I know."
Silence wrapped around them.
But it wasn't heavy.
It was… calm.
Real.
Amidst all the chaos.
"All of this…"
Jay looked around.
"Does it have to be so big?"
A pause.
Then—
"Yes."
She raised a brow slightly.
"Why?"
He stepped closer.
Slow.
Certain.
"So everyone knows."
A small silence.
"Knows what?"
His gaze locked with hers.
"That you're mine."
Her heart skipped.
Then softer—
"And I'm yours."
That addition—
It mattered.
It changed everything.
Because this wasn't one-sided anymore.
Not control.
Not possession.
But mutual choice.
Outside—
Preparations only intensified.
Security doubled.
Arrangements perfected.
Details refined.
Because when the day arrived—
Nothing could go wrong.
Not for him.
Not for her.
Not for them.
And somewhere in the middle of all that power…
All that control…
All that planning—
Two people stood quietly.
Looking at each other.
Smiling softly.
Because beyond everything else—
This wasn't just a wedding.
It was their choice.
Their story.
Their forever.
