"You can probably now guess why I gathered you all here today." Anatoly says as I stand tall beside him. "You're here to witness me getting married to this lovely lady." He takes my hand in his own. "When we get married she will become your queen and you will treat her as such. Any disrespect against her will be disrespect against me and I won't tolerate it. You will welcome her and her son with open arms."

"Repeat after me." The lady tells him. "I, Anatoly King..."

"I, Anaoly King." He copies.

"Take Reyna Levna." She continues. The reveal of my real name earns some murmurs from the crowd.

Anatoly ignores the whispers and I try to too. "Take Reyna Levena."

"To be my wife."

"To be my wife." He says.

"Reyna." The lady addresses me. "Repeat after me. I, Reyna Levena..."

"I, Reyna Levena." I copy. It feels weird to use my real name in front of so many people again.

"Take Anatoly King."

"Take Anatoly King."

"To be my husband." She says.

"To be my husband."

Anatoly turns away from the audience and gets handed a fancy looking pen. He signs the marriage document on the table in front him before handing the pen over to me.

I guess this is it.

I feel kinda rushed with all the eyes on me so I briefly read over the clauses before signing my name on the dotted line.

Anatoly takes my hand back in his before placing a kiss on my knuckles. He holds out his other arm and calls for Aiyden to come over.

Aiyden comes running over and Anatoly sweeps him up in his free arm and holds him against his hip.

"Aiyden is now my heir so I suggest you treat him as such." Anatoly speaks authoritatively."You may now all get on with your days. Me, my wife and our son will be going out to celebrate."

He keeps his hold on my hand as we walk out of the room while he's also still carrying Aiyden.

"Where are we going?" I ask him. We hadn't really had time to discuss what would happen after.

He removes his hand from mine and instead places it over my shoulder in a more intimate way.

"I thought I'd take my wife out to dinner." He states.

"Where to?" I ask.

"You'll see."

The three of us get into the back of a leather seated car with plenty of room and one of Anatoly's drivers drives us to a tall building. Anatoly says his name at the reception and the woman's face instantly pales. We're immediately lead upstairs to our seats and past the already waiting queue of people.
