Third Person's POV

Asteria is confused about why Sorin is her groom. Why Sorin? Cyra secretly chuckled at Asteria's reaction. It's all part of the plan to make Asteria believe Sorin is her groom when she is actually marrying Kian, her wife.

Another photo of Kian and Kate is included in the plan. Kian and Kate have already discussed everything. Kate has come to love Raze, which is why she will not interfere with Kian and Asteria's marriage anymore. She is making amends for her past mistakes and wants to contribute to the couple's happiness.

Asteria, unable to think clearly, expressed her confusion with a simple "Huh?" Cyra comforted her by patting her on the shoulder.

"You're getting married again," Cyra said with a smile. Asteria turned to face Cyra.

"I can't marry Sorin. Kian and I are already married," Asteria explained, prompting a sad look from her mother.

"I'm sorry, my daughter. But you and Kian are not legally married," her mother revealed as part of the plan.

Before Asteria could protest, her best friend intervened.

"Don't say anything. Put this on. Turn around," her friend instructed, blindfolding her. As she felt someone grab her waist, she assumed it was her wife's hand, busy with something else. Maybe it was just Sorin, no one else.

Meanwhile, Kian was nervous. It was the day she and her beloved woman would marry again. Watching Asteria approach while blindfolded, held by someone guiding her, Kian couldn't help but laugh weakly at the unexpected turn of events. Her former rival, Sorin, was playing a surprising role in the orchestrated plan, much to Kian's amusement.

Asteria Celeste Averix Levington POV

To this day, I am still baffled by the situation. How did this happen? How can I escape when so many eyes are on me? Kian might be upset when she discovers I'm supposed to marry Sorin. Even as my blindfold is removed, I keep my eyes closed, afraid of the prospect of marrying Sorin when I love Kian.

"Open your eyes," whispered Sorin.

I reluctantly opened my eyes, only to realize it was not Sorin but Kian who spoke. Overwhelmed with emotions, I hugged her tightly.

"Kian, I thought I was marrying Sorin. I love you," I confessed tearfully, the confusion of the moment clouding my thoughts. The important thing is that she is here with me. I vowed never to marry anyone else but Kian, the love of my life. She gently stroked my hair, comforting me.

"Shhh. Don't cry. It's all part of the plan," Kian reassured me, hinting at a hidden agenda.

"A plan?" I inquired, seeking clarification. She nodded, promising to explain after the wedding. We proceeded to the priest for the ceremony.

Late into the night, Kian and I found ourselves at a hotel for our honeymoon. As we settled in, I couldn't help but question the events that had transpired.

"Please explain," I asked softly as Kian lay on the bed. She playfully requested a kiss before answering my questions.

"I was confused," I admitted, seeking clarity on her actions and the orchestrated events.

"Why were you with Kate? Why were you distant with me? Why was Sorin chosen for me? Why did Mom say our marriage wasn't real?" I questioned one after the other. Kian gently guided me, kissing my neck affectionately.

"Asteria, it was all planned. A surprise wedding for you," she explained, urging me to face her as she initiated a moment of intimacy between us.

A year passed...

I turned to Kian with concerns about Zyrone, our young son.

"Leave Zyrone be. He's growing up," Kian reassured me, sharing a light-hearted moment together.

"You're right here," Kian acknowledged, drawing me closer for a loving embrace. We shared a tender kiss, but our moment was interrupted by the sound of crying. I rushed to our baby Athara's crib, comforting our daughter as Kian and Zyrone joined us.

Our family moment was filled with laughter and joy, with Zyrone excitedly including us in his imaginative play. The love and bond within our family brought a sense of happiness and fulfillment.

As we navigated parenthood and our evolving family dynamics, I found solace and hope in the love we shared. Despite the challenges we faced, our relationship had blossomed, and I felt content and grateful for the joy and love we experienced together.

The pain of the past had faded, replaced by the joy of our growing family. Our parents' guidance and trust had led us to a place of happiness and completion. I realized that my marriage to Kian, despite my initial doubts, was a testament to our love and connection.

With Kian by my side, I felt secure and loved, knowing that she was the one who truly owned my heart.

"Always you, Kian Calen Levington."

THE END.
