Royal Ceo by Seerat Kaur (the best novels to read .TXT) 📕

           The nightmares have disappeared, and I am smiling again. It's not always true what we see. The fact that Edward is there for me, gives me a sense of empowerment and reason to live life again. He has put his imprint on my heart. 

      We were on the private island of Marcus. Aerial has picked this place for uncle and Andria's wedding. I wanted to marry him again at this beautiful place.

      A chuckle fell from Andria's lips. She was looking adorable in her mermaid wedding dress. Aerial was hovering around her like a little girl. Her pink puffy gown was giving her a princess look.

     I was wearing a royal blue gown with thin stripes. The ends of my hair were curled, falling down my back. I released a soft sigh as I spun on my plump heels. Edward was against me wearing them. But I promised him to be careful while walking. He took care of us. I smiled, glancing down at my stomach. I was still scared but things turned easy with Edward. 

     "We should go. Are you ready?" Aerial asked Andria giggling. 

     "I guess," She said and looked at us. 

      Mom was always beautiful but she was looking so beautiful today in a red silky gown. She was her bridesmaid. She held out the bouquet of lilies and roses for her, "Do you really think? I should be your bridesmaid, Andria?" Mom asked. 

      She wanted us to do it. So she could sit next to dad and enjoy the wedding. We used our pregnancy as an excuse. I smirked inwardly. Though she understood, she didn't object.

      "Yes, I won't feel nervous when you'll be with me. That's what friends are for?" Andria said. She looked scared as mom would deny it at the last moment.

      "My wedding is hovering over my mind," Mom chuckled

      "Our husbands are looking for us," Elisa said, walking into the room. She was wearing a dark grey gown and a beautiful piece of jewelry around her neck.

      "Yes, let's go." Aerial responded gently and turned to the elder ladies, "After five minutes, Okay?" She asked, with a huge grin. 

      They giggled and nodded, exchanging looks. 

      "I can't wait to see dad," Aerial said, giggling.

      "Our presence would give him some relief as it's gonna tell him that..." I glanced at them. 

      "He's a few minutes away from completing the ceremony." Elisa smiled. 

      We paced out of the room. My face lit up when I saw Edward waiting for me. He should be with guests. He cleared his throat and sauntered forward. His gaze met Aerial and Elisa's before landing on me. He adjusted his tie and held out his arm for me, "Can I have my wife?" He asked, gently. 

      I blushed. Elisa and Aerial giggled and nodded, "Of course, but don't miss the ceremony." Aerial said. 

      "Yes," Edward nodded.

      They began their pace without me. Aerial winked at me before turning. 

      I blushed harder. I watched him under my lashes, he shifted on his feet, moving closer. He cupped my cheeks and pressed a kiss on my lips, "My angel. So beautiful," He whispered huskily under his breath. 

      I grabbed his wrist and looked into his eyes, "Edward, Mom, and Aunt are inside the room. I don't want them to catch us. Let's go." I giggled. 

      We're married. There was nothing to fear. I wanted to spend time with him but I also didn't want to miss the wedding.

      He slithered his hand at the side of my waist. I inhaled slowly. He's already in love with our baby. I'm too) He understood me without words. 

      "You're fine, right?" He asked, his nose touching my cheek. 

      I nodded. I asked him to stay with me. He did. Most of the day, he stayed with me and only went out when it was compulsory. If I wasn't wrong. He was always with me. When I was thinking to myself alone. He was always next door to me. I was so stupid to not trust my husband. 

      When you love someone, he's loyal to you, you can trust him blindly. I've learned from my mistakes.

      "Thank you for believing in us." My emotions started to bubble over, and my throat tightened. I lowered my eyes. I will never forget that I hurt him. When he showered only love over me.

      I wrapped my arms around him, and he embraced me in a hug, "You were harsh on us. On me." He chuckled, " But we have crossed that path. Take everything as an opportunity. It created a bridge between us. So we could walk together. Forever, hon." He placed his chin over my head, softly.

      Laughing through my emotions, I pushed his chest with a broad smile on my face, "Yes, my king." I gestured at the path with my eyes. 

      He flashed an amused grin with a cocked eyebrow. He curled his arm around my waist and we walked together. 

      The sky was clear blue. I could smell the Jasmine scent of flowers and salt in the air. Uncle's eyes were glued to the aisle. Aerial was grinning next to her husband, who was smiling softly at his wife.

      I stared at the ocean with a smile, "It's a beautiful place. Better than a hall full of royal people." I smiled, recalling our wedding day. 

     He opened his mouth but stopped when the music began to play. All gazes turned to the Bride. 

     Andria was blushing, her gaze directly shot at the altar.

     "I'm glad. My stupid step didn't affect their love life." I released a slow breath. My brows furrowed when I didn't get any reply from him. My gaze jerked to him. He was looking at me with a warm smile. At that moment, I knew. No one could love me as he did. I wanted to give him everything, my soul and my body. I drew my face closer to his ear. So he could hear me clearly, "I love you, Edward Rhodes." I felt heat crawling my cheeks. 

     He gave a little tug closer to him with a breathtaking smile, "I love you, " He pressed a kiss to my forehead, "Life's perfect now," He took me in a side hug as we watched the wedding ceremony. His second hand rested on my stomach.
