The day dawned golden; the skies clear as though heaven itself had spread a blessing. The venue was a magnificent cathedral adorned with white roses, lilies, and cascading chandeliers. Guests poured in dressed in their best, the atmosphere thick with expectation and wonder.
Adrian stood at the altar in a finely tailored suit, his usually cold, commanding face softened, his eyes glistening with moisture. Then the doors opened.
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
Talia appeared—radiant in a white, flowing gown embroidered with crystals that shimmered like stars. Her veil framed her glowing face, and as she walked on her father's arm, Adrian's composure broke. Tears streamed down his cheeks, his lips trembling in disbelief.
(Murmuring to himself): "That's my queen… my everything."
Guests whispered and smiled, moved by the rare sight of the iron-hearted Wolfe undone by love.
Her parents walked her to the altar, her father's eyes wet with pride. Her mother clutched her hands together, whispering prayers under her breath. As they handed her over to Adrian, both parents wept openly but smiled with joy.
Her Father (to Adrian, voice shaking):"Take care of my daughter."
Adrian (with a bow of his head):"With my life, sir."
The vows were exchanged, the rings slid onto trembling fingers, and when the priest declared them husband and wife, Adrian kissed her deeply, pulling her close as the entire hall erupted in cheers.
The Celebration
The reception was nothing short of extravagant. Tables overflowed with delicacies—continental dishes, local cuisines, endless wines, and champagne. A grand band played, and the dance floor stayed alive.
Souvenirs with the couple's initials were handed out—golden fans, handkerchiefs, custom cups. Employees from Wolfe & Co. filled one corner, whispering amongst themselves.
Employee 1 (laughing):"Can you believe this? The boss that never smiled is blushing like a teenager!"
Employee 2 (grinning):"We always suspected this would happen with that girl… look at him crying and dancing. Who would've thought?"
The night roared with laughter, dance, and pure celebration.
Talia's parents sat at their table, holding hands tightly, and tears in their eyes as they prayed silently. Their daughter was not only safe but celebrated, elevated, and loved.
Her Mother (softly):"Lord, thank You… for answering beyond what I asked."
Her Father (smiling through tears):"This is our miracle."
