Prologue
Excerpt
"You were my strength when I was weak,
You were my voice when I couldn't speak,
You were my eyes when I couldn't see,
You saw the best there was in me,
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach,
You gave me faith 'cause you believed,
I'm everything I am,
Because you loved me!"
The slow rhythms of the soft music sang in the background as the young lady walked down the aisle, her flare-off-shoulder white gown flowing on the ground, she was walking towards this young man that she had met unexpectedly at a time when her life was almost in turmoil.
In the moment when she had given up on everything, Lucian had stood with her and showered her with love, the one person that has always been there for her in the past three years, he was there for her through thin and thick and seeing him standing on the alter waiting for her Krystie could not help the tears that were brimming her eyes.
This would not be the first time for Krystie to walk down the aisle towards Lucian, the first time it was only a contractual marriage, yet here they were with feelings attached, their love for each other very pure and passionate with longing to be in each other's arms.
Lucian too had tears at the corners of his eyes but he would never want anyone to see those tears, he is always the cold ruthless king of the business world, so he blinked those tears back immediately.
"Those times I always thought that my life was such a failure, everything was crumbling down and the pressure was weighing me down, I nearly gave up on love, amid my downfall you gave me strength, lifted me to see the potential within me that even I could not see."
"Initially I had thought that my life was more like a drama, where I was the villainess in my own stories, I had my demons to fight with that I had no strength left, and at just the moment when I had lost hope, you came in like a ray of light at the end of the tunnel, brightening my life with the strength of your love, I know I didn't deserve all this, I could only live this life and do everything that I have done today because of you."
'Because you loved me!'
Krystie ended this story as the tears ran down the audience's cheeks, everyone had a wipe to wipe the tears from their eyes, this was such an emotional story even though it was only a glimpse of what Krystie had gone through.
On the other side, Lucian too could not contain himself anymore when he heard her, he let the tears run freely down his cheeks, he didn't know why exactly he was crying but maybe because whatever that she had said was touching.
"I love you so much my love, and I promise to always love you, death would not be a separation for us because even if there's an afterlife I would still be waiting for you, to love you again and cherish you because you deserve it, you deserve the world and I am ready to bring heavens down just for you," Lucian amidst the tears pulled his bride and hugged her tightly as they cried in each other's arms, only that they were tears of joy.
