On their way home, Cayenne received a message from Luiz stating that he was leaving with his brother and his father to have a men’s night out. She wasn’t the least bit suspicious about it since it was very seldom for the three of them to go out. It was only natural that she would agree to give them space.

“Elena messaged me that I need to finish the work I left at the company tomorrow. It was the project for St. Martin. We are already in the final stage and it is crucial.”

“How about the photoshoot?”

“I already told Monet about it and she said she can adjust my time. I’ll be there for the finale.”

.....

“Oh. Okay. Monet told me that I should leave early tomorrow morning. Do you want to grab breakfast with me?”

“I’ll cook early tomorrow.”

The next day, the house was very quiet and Cayenne felt a little melancholic. Her brothers and her stepfather were not around. Erwin set out early to pick someone really important which was Sabrina, who came for another week-long vacation. Justin went home yesterday. Daisy and Dalia were busy watering the plants at the back of her house. Lucia was doing the laundry. The only noise she could hear was the clanking of pans and kitchen utensils which was most likely caused by Stefan.

“Good morning.” Cayenne greeted and hugged him from the back. “My feet still hurt.”

“I’ll give you a massage before you leave for work. Just sit there. I’m almost done.”

“Stefan.”

“Hm?”

“I feel nervous. I don’t know why but I feel really anxious. You won’t go anywhere else today, right?”

“Nope. Right after my work, I will follow you to City C.”

She ate her breakfast slowly, wanting to spend more time with him before leaving the house but then, she received a message from Monet that they were on their way to the next site. She was left with no other choice but to hurry.

Assigning more bodyguards to her, Stefan watched his wife leave the house with complicated emotions. He felt a little guilty for doing this to her at the same time, he was excited that the day he has been waiting for has finally arrived.

“Lucia? You can leave the house around 9:00 in the morning. Make sure to lock the doors before you leave.”

“Yes, sir.”

Stefan went upstairs and took something from the jewelry boxes before leaving.

“I’m so excited about the wedding. Let’s hurry up and go.” Dalia told her sister while watering the vegetables. “I wonder what the gown looks like. I’m looking forward to it.”

“I also want to see Ms. Yen’s gown.”

While Cayenne sat gracefully in the backseat of Stefan’s white Mercedes Benz convertible, which was rather odd because he never let anyone use this except him, all the people invited to her grand wedding were also preparing.

Her entourage was composed of many people close to her and Luna was obviously her maid of honor. Dominic was Stefan’s best man and as expected, Kyle and Luiz were part of the groom’s men. Jade was obviously joining in the fun and Chloe; Justin’s little bride was also part of the flower girls.

“You and Stefan are birds of the same feather,” Jillyanna commented while wrapping up their gift box. “You guys love to spend so much money on a one-time event.”

“It is once in a lifetime event. That is why we will spend money to make it the most memorable.”

“But it’s not the most memorable for me.”

“No?”

“Nope. The most memorable for me is when you got into an accident. No matter how I try to forget it and tell myself that you are fine and doing well beside me, I still couldn’t forget that day.”

Travis could only hug his wife and apologize to her for what happened. Although it wasn’t his fault, he felt responsible for causing her this endless worry about his safety.

“Mooooom!” Jade came in running with a diaper in hand while still wearing the bathrobe that Cayenne gave her last time. “I need to get changed. I have helped Rai drink his milk already. You have to help me change his diaper.”

“Thanks, honey.” Jillyanna took the diaper from her daughter and kissed her little girl’s cheek. “Your dad got the dress already. Ask him to help you with it and do your hair as well. I’ll help you with the light makeup later.”

“Alrighty. Dad – ”

When Cayenne arrived at the venue for the final day of the photoshoot, Monet was already there waiting for her with the final gown. Cayenne couldn’t understand why but she felt a deep attachment to this gown that Monet saved for last. She even thought that she’d ask Stefan to make a reservation for this if they really want to have a wedding.

“After I’m done with you, I’ll have to leave and meet with Stefan to make sure that he matches with your look. You will be in different stations. I already briefed you on what will happen, right? We also watched many wedding videos for your reference.”

“Monet.”

“Hm?”

“Are you hiding something from me?”

“Like what? Oh, well I suppose Stefan didn’t tell you about the modeling fee?”

“Ha?”

Monet told Cayenne about the changes in the payment which was also a lie because there was no payment, to begin with. Cayenne never read the contract because she trusted Stefan to check on it.

“Is it normal for me to get nervous? I feel like I’m having cold feet.”

“It’s probably because this is the finale.”

Cayenne laughed nervously as she watched herself in the mirror again. Last time, she thought that Monet needed to make adjustments on this gown as well but surprisingly, it was an exact fit. The way it hugged her body was comfortable as if it was a custom-made gown for her.

“It feels like I’m going to have my own wedding. Why did you even think about advertising it this way?”

“Uhh...well, I always love wedding gowns since I was young. Whenever someone gets married to my relatives, I would always go with them when choosing their gowns. I thought it was best to showcase my work with wedding videos and ask a married couple to model for me.”

“I have not seen the other models, too.”

“Thomas and I decided to shoot separately since you all came from different places.”

Cayenne nodded her head in understanding and little by little, she started to relax.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Ma’am, the bouquet for the bride and bridal car has arrived.”

Cayenne looked at the flowers and she felt her heart thump loudly. The bouquets were made of her favorite flower – tulips. They look really fresh and invigorating.

“Where did you get those flowers? They look really great.”

“We ordered this from Holland.”

“Oh.”

“Why do we need bridal car?”

“For props. Right, uhm, Tess, can you ask if we can borrow a car to place that bouquet?”

“Yes, ma’am.” Not long after, her assistant came back with a dejected expression. “Ma’am, the cars outside have dark colors. I saw a white car but they said that it is from Sir Stefan.”

Since the wife was there, Monet turned to her, “Can we use it, Yen?”

“Let me ask Stefan about it. It is my first time seeing someone use the car other than him.” She called Stefan right in front of them and after getting his approval, the assistant left in a hurry.

Two hours later, when she was ready to go, her hands trembled when she saw the bridal car. She turned to Monet but she was no longer there. “Hey!” She called out for everyone’s attention and pointed at herself from head to toe. “I’m dazzling. I have a bridal car and there is a bouquet. Stefan is not here, too. Do you guys know something? This isn’t my real wedding, right?”
