As Lily Whitemoon departed when her creative work completed, Heaven found herself standing before Jacob, who was now dressed in a striking white tuxedo. His transformation into the perfect groom was undeniable, and he looked exceptionally handsome. The aura of charisma that surrounded him was appreciable, making it evident why people were drawn to him. Yet, Heaven couldn't help but wonder why he had chosen her, a simple girl with nothing to offer compared to the beautiful and wealthy women who surely pursued him.
"Come on, my little love, let's hurry now," Jacob urged, guiding Heaven toward his luxurious limousine. The chauffeur was waiting for them, and the gleaming white vehicle was unlike anything Heaven had ever seen. She admired at its elegance as Jacob carefully assisted her inside, her nervousness intensifying.
"I'm going to marry Jacob Knight," she thought, closing her eyes briefly to steady her racing heart.
Meanwhile, at the church, Heaven stood in her beautiful white gown, clutching a bouquet. Nancy and Rose, her supposed friends, were with her, but they maintained a cold silence. It was clear they had irritation, and Heaven felt their disdain keenly.
The music began, signaling her cue to walk down the aisle. With her father at her side, she descended the path lined with family and friends. Jacob, standing tall and handsome at the altar, smiled at her with a warmth that made her heart flutter. She couldn't help but question if it was real or a dream.
As she drew closer to Jacob, he kissed her forehead, sending a surge of mixed emotions through her. His words of happiness and dreams left her wondering about his true intentions. Was he genuinely concerned about her happiness, or was it all an act?
The priest performed the ceremony, and it was time for Jacob to deliver his vows. With unwavering sincerity, he spoke, "I, Jacob Knight, promise to love you, protect you, cherish you, and respect you as long as we both shall live. I will shield you from the bad and surround you with only the good. I vow not to let a tear roll down your cheek, and I promise to keep you happy until my last breath in this world."
The priest turned to Heaven and asked, "Do you, Heaven Emir, take Jacob Knight as your husband, to have and to hold, till death do you part?"
Heaven, nervous but resolute, replied, "I do," her nervous smile reflecting a mixture of emotions that left her feeling thoroughly bewildered.
With the final pronouncement from the priest, Jacob gazed into her eyes with intensity, whispering, "I love you, Heaven, and I'll always protect you." He sealed his promise with a deep and passionate kiss, and Heaven felt an overwhelming mixture of emotions wash over her.
Nervousness, confusion, and a sense of safety intertwined as Jacob's lips met hers. In his strong arms, Heaven found a sensation she couldn't resist, melting into the moment, even amidst her uncertainty.
After the wedding ceremony concluded, Jacob's eagerness to take her to his home was palpable. Their journey into the unknown had begun, and as the newlyweds left the church, Heaven couldn't help but wonder about the path ahead, the complexities of her feelings for this man, and the secrets that lay hidden beneath the surface.
Emotions swirled within her, and the true nature of her new life with Jacob Knight remained a captivating enigma.
As a random guest approached Jacob and Heaven with an authoritative air, Jacob acknowledged the message with a nod of gratitude. With his arm around Heaven's, they made their way to the grand dinner reception that awaited them. The ballroom was a stunning spectacle of purple and white, adorned with elegant chandeliers, cascading curtains, and tables adorned with fresh flowers.
Their entrance was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the approximately 100 guests in attendance. Jacob and Heaven, the newlyweds of the evening, took their seats at a central table, surrounded by both their families. There was no first dance, but Jacob compensated with a grand toast that expressed his love and commitment to Heaven.
The luxurious dinner commenced, featuring a gourmet feast that included lobster, lamb, and chicken. The delicacies on offer were extraordinary, but Heaven couldn't fully enjoy the luxurious meal. Emotions swirled within her, and it was impossible for her to be genuinely happy. She was overwhelmed by a sense of unease and uncertainty about her future with Jacob.
Throughout the evening, Jacob noticed Heaven's distant demeanor but couldn't fathom the cause of her inner turmoil. He continued to play the role of the charming and attentive husband, though, beneath the surface, he couldn't help but wonder about the complexity of his new bride's emotions.
After the reception, they left the grand ballroom and entered the awaiting car. Jacob gazed at Heaven with a sense of awe and contentment.
"I can't explain what I'm feeling right now. I feel like the luckiest person in the world. Today, I married you, and now you're Mrs. Heaven Jacob Knight, my life partner, my wife. I have everything I wished for, and I don't want anything else. I just want to make you feel my love and have you love me as much as I do. Finally, Heaven, you are mine."
Heaven met his gaze, a myriad of emotions swirling within her. As they drove to their new home, Jacob couldn't help but engage in conversation. "You don't have any questions about our new house, Heaven?"
She replied nervously, "I don't have any questions about your house, Jacob."
Jacob, determined to make his point clear, pulled the car to a stop and addressed her sternly, "What does that suppose to mean, Heaven?"
Startled, she stammered, "Nothing."
Jacob's tone grew firmer as he asserted, "Don't you dare look down. Look at me, Heaven!"
Her eyes met his, and he continued, "It's OUR house, Mrs. Heaven Jacob Knight. Understand or not?"
Heaven nodded, her innocence endearing to Jacob. "Whose house is it?" he asked again.
"Ours," she replied, her voice soft and obedient. Jacob couldn't help but smile at her response, pleased with her compliance.
When they arrived at their new home, Heaven was in awe. A massive front gate bearing the initials "J" and "K" welcomed them, signifying Jacob Knight. The sprawling mansion was a breathtaking sight, with lush greenery and a two-story mansion that looked like a modern-day castle.
They entered the house, and Heaven couldn't contain her astonishment. The interior was a stunning blend of modern design and luxurious furnishings. Jacob guided her through the transparent staircase to their bedroom, which was larger than any room she had ever seen. The bed was a grand centerpiece, surrounded by opulent decor and rose petals.
Heaven explored the room, noticing the scent of fresh flowers and the lavish surroundings. Jacob's question about whether she liked it was met with a hesitant nod, though she struggled to convey her emotions fully.
Jacob's smile faded momentarily, but Heaven reassured him, saying, "I like it, Jacob." She was cautious not to reveal too much, but her words seemed to ease his concerns.
Their eyes met, and in that moment, something shifted between them. As they stood in their luxurious new home, the air was charged with unspoken emotions, and Heaven couldn't help but feel a growing connection to him who had entered her life so unexpectedly.
