Chapter 18 - THE WEDDING

We married beside the lake.

There were no reporters.

No business associates.

No armed men standing around us.

Just family.

Lena wore a pale pink dress.

She carried the rings.

When she reached us, she whispered:

“Don't cry.”

I laughed through my tears.

Lorenzo looked at me.

“You look beautiful.”

“You're nervous.”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

He smiled.

During the vows, he held my hands tightly.

“I once believed a family was something a man had to protect with power.”

He looked at Lena.

“I was wrong.”

Then he looked at me.

“A family is something you protect with love.”

I cried.

We exchanged rings.

When we kissed, Lena clapped loudly.

Then shouted:

“Finally!”

Everyone laughed.

For a man feared throughout the city, Lorenzo looked completely helpless.

And completely happy.
