Chapter 419: The Wedding

The air was thick with anticipation as Demetri stood at the end of the aisle, his heart pounding. For the first time in his life, he was nervous, though he had no idea why. His eyes kept going to the closed doors, wondering how long it would be till he would be able to see her walking towards him. Only then would his heart calm down.

Behind Demetri, his groomsmen—Ian, Erasmi, Seb, Lucien, and Gabe—huddled together, engaged in a spirited discussion. Their topic of choice: contingency plans for his potential escape or, more humorously, what they'd do if Nora decided to make a break for it. Demetri fought the urge to roll his eyes at their antics. As if Nora, would ever consider such a thing.
