A flicker of surprise ignited in Cherise’s eyes, quickly replaced by a spark of curiosity.

She immediately strolled over and gently clasped Charisa’s hand. “Mom,” she inquired, her voice laced with eagerness, “tell me about yourwedding to Dad. Grandpa always said you two were childhood sweethearts, so it must have been a magical day, right?”

“Our wedding…” Charisa trailed off, her gaze drifting into the distance, her eyes reflecting nostalgia.

Her wedding to Beckham was a memory etched in her heart, a vivid recollection from twenty- one years ago.

Back then, she was brimming with youthful exuberance and dreams of a shared future. She envisioned growing old with him, hand in hand, theirlives intertwined in a tapestry of happiness.

They had stood before God, exchanging vows of eternal love, promising to remain inseparable, their hearts entwined in an unbreakable bond.

But fate, in its capricious nature, had other plans….

Charisa covered her mouth, a cough racking her body. The white handkerchief came away stained with bright red blood.

Mandy, standing nearby, couldn’t bear to watch. She turned away, discreetly wiping away tears that threatened to spill over.

Cherise’s heart ached. Life, she knew, was a cruel mistress, bringing with it aging, sickness, and, ultimately, death. Neither the doctors nor shecould alter the inevitable course of nature. All she could do was provide comfort and support during her mother’s final moments.

Soon, the door burst open, and Damien and his groomsmen charged in, their faces flushed with excitement and anticipation.

With a sly grin, Lucy stealthily tied one of Cherise’s shoes to her ankle, the voluminous skirt of her bridesmaid’s dress concealing the cheekyprank from anyone watching.

But even the most carefully laid plans couldn’t escape Damien’s eagle eyes. With a swift, practiced move, he pinned Lucy to the bed andreached under her skirt, retrieving the hidden heel.

Neither Damien nor Lucy had anticipated Mandy and Jacob’s quick reflexes. They captured the entire scene with a click and a flash, foreverimmortalizing the moment Lennon pinned Lucy

Lennon and Lucy stood there speechless, their faces burning with embarrassment.

Cherise’s brow furrowed as she turned to Damien. “There’s no way any embarrassing photos of you and another woman will be making anappearance at my wedding today, right?”

Damien smiled reassuringly and took the heels from Lennon. Kneeling before Cherise, he gently slipped them onto her feet. “The only photoslike that are with you.”

After saying that, he looked up at her with a playful glint. “If you want everyone to see, I could…”

His expression didn’t suggest he was joking.

Cherise’s heart raced as she quickly raised her hand to stop him. “Don’t even think about it!”

“I wouldn’t dare, Damien reassured her with a subtle smile. Standing up, he effortlessly swept her off her feet and into his arms. “I’ll be on mybest behavior from now on.”

“If you disapprove, I wouldn’t dream of it,” he added playfully.

Cherise’s cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink.

Damien scooped her up in his arms and strode out of the room, her wedding dress trailing behind them, the stark white fabric intermingling withthe crimson carpet, creating a captivating
