Jeff’s heart was heavy as he stood in the dressing room, staring at his reflection. His silk white tuxedo fit him perfectly, the long tails brushing the floor. His long hair had been styled flawlessly, cascading down in soft waves. Everything was perfect, except the empty space in his heart.

His parents were in jail, paying for the sins that had nearly destroyed their family, and his brother had refused to attend the wedding. Jeff had begged, pleaded, but his brother’s parting words still stung. “How can you love the man who destroyed our family? You’ve betrayed us.”

But Jeff couldn’t turn away from Bible. Not now. Not ever. His life had been cold and isolated until he met those dark brown eyes—eyes that burned with intensity and obsession, yet softened only for him. From the moment Bible saw him, he knew he had to have him.

“You should be mine,” Bible had declared, and against all odds, he was right.

Bible stood at the end of the aisle, his powerful frame commanding attention. His dark brown eyes were locked on Jeff, filled with an emotion that was rare for a man like him: pure, unyielding love. Jeff’s heart ached as he saw the slight red tint on Bible’s cheeks, a rare moment of vulnerability that made him even more beautiful.

Their love story had begun in darkness, forged in pain and misunderstanding. Bible had been cruel, taking Jeff as his captive, his obsession pushing them both to the edge. Yet, Jeff—an angel in every sense of the word—had saved him.

Bible had always believed he didn’t deserve Jeff. How could he? Jeff had given up everything—his freedom, his family, his peace—for a man who had kidnapped him. But Jeff had smiled at him, comforted him, and shown him a love so pure that it melted the ice in his heart.

“For you, I’d die or kill myself. Whichever makes you smile,” Bible had once whispered.

Now, standing at the altar, Jeff walked down the aisle with Bible’s brother by his side. The absence of his family was a sharp pain, but he reminded himself that this moment wasn’t about them.

It was about Bible.

Bible, whose gaze stayed locked on him as if the rest of the world didn’t exist. Bible, who had turned his life upside down and shown him what it meant to be truly loved.

When Jeff finally reached him, Bible took his hand, his grip firm but gentle. His voice was low as he spoke.

“You’re gorgeous,” Bible whispered. “I don’t deserve you, but I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to.”

Jeff smiled, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. “You already have, Bible.”

The vows they exchanged were filled with unspoken truths, a promise to care for each other’s hearts. Jeff would heal Bible’s cold, broken soul, and Bible would protect Jeff’s pure, untainted love.

And as they kissed, sealing their bond, Bible knew one thing for certain: his angel had saved him, and he would never let him go.
