It was the most exciting moment of their lives so far, having two weddings to plan. Camila couldn't be more excited to have Thea be her maid of honour.

Both Thea and Cassandra had been invested in the wedding plans, helping her choose her wedding dress and the rest.

Florentine had been very helpful with Casimir. She loved babysitting him while Camila had the freedom to plan her wedding.

Angel and Knight had also been very invested, assisting Caspian with everything he needed.

The only thing that saddened Camila was the fact her brother, Theo, could not attend her wedding. She hadn't even seen her nephew in close to two years.

She had prayed for the day he'd be a free man, free from his former boss who wanted to end his life.

Even though Caspian could easily save Theo and bring him back home, it would mean a war breaking out with their cartel and the gang run by Theo's former boss.

The cartel would easily crush them, but that would be injustice and killing innocent men to protect Theo.

The men believed that Theo had to pay for betraying his boss like that, and he could only return when his boss was finally appeased.

The wedding day finally came. Caspian had been taken to a hotel to prepare for his wedding, while Camila prepared at home.

They were minutes away from their wedding service holding, and Camila had been fitting into her dress after Ari, the makeup artist, was done with her face.

While she was fitting into her wedding dress, Thea came in with her phone, handing it to her.

"Camila, it's Caspian," she said, and Camila quickly picked up the phone. A blush had crept up her face, and she answered the call.

"Hey, wifey," Caspian said in the most seductive tone over the phone. Camila almost bit her lips from the sensations she felt from his voice, but remembered she had lipstick on. She kept playing with the diamonds on her wedding dress as she enjoyed the sound of his voice.

"I'm not your wife yet, Caspian," she teased.

"You were already my wife from the moment you accepted my proposal," he said, making his claim strong.

They spoke for a while before she heard Angel and Knight on the other end teasing Caspian to end the call, except he didn't want to get married.

Thea had also brought to her notice that if they didn't end the call soon, they could run late for the wedding.

Before they left for the church, Thea, Cassandra, and Florentine had spoken to her, telling her how beautiful she was and wishing her well. They brought tears to her eyes, but she did everything possible to keep them from falling.

They finally got to the church and were outside the gate, waiting for the doors to open and usher them in.

While she's about to enter the church, she hears her name. It sounded very familiar, but she thought it was impossible that it was whom she thought.

"Camila..." the voice called, more audible, and a wave of shock enveloped her. She froze, and her heart began racing. Her eyes stung, and she could feel tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Camila..." he called again, and she turned slowly to see him. Her breath hitched, and she held her wedding gown and bouquet more firmly. Her hands shook in her flower, and a gasp left her throat as she trailed her gaze up and down her brother Theo.

He looked so fine, clean and healthy. Then she looked behind him to see his wife and son. Another gasp left her throat, and she blinked back her tears. She held her hand to her head and tripped, but Theo rushed to her to hold her. She looked at him as he brought her up.

"Theo..." she called.

"Don't cry, you'll ruin your makeup," he said, smiling. She could see the spark and joy in his eyes.

She began to touch his arms to feel him. It had been almost two years since she last saw him after Caspian had helped him escape the fury of his former boss for stealing his woman.

"How are you here?" she said, and looked to his wife and child.

"Is that Jasper? My nephew?" she asked, and the lady brought her nephew to her. She cups the little boy's face, seeing the resemblance with Theo.

"Oh, Jasper... How you've grown." She hugs him, and he tries to pull her hair.

"Jasper, stop," Theo's wife says, trying to pull his hands from her hair. He was trying to kiss her, or so it appeared.

"I guess he misses you so much," Theo's wife said.

"I'm so sorry, Laura..."

"Don't even start, Camila. Don't even try to feel guilty. Today is your happy day. Enjoy it." Laura said, stopping her from feeling more guilty.

"I didn't treat you right." Camila said.

She shakes her head. "You didn't compromise your morals to support your brother and me. You're strong and an innocent soul." Laura said and Camila pulled her in for a hug.

"At this point, we'll be late," Thea said interrupting their emotional moment.

"Don't mind me, Camila," she said, laughing. "Take your time," Camila laughed as well before turning back to Theo.

"But how?" she asked, still curious to know how he was able to make it to her wedding. "Did you risk your lives coming here?"

Theo smiled. "I did not risk my life to come here Camila and I came here as a free man."

"What?" She was shocked beyond words.

"Caspian pulled some strings. It's been two years already. My former boss got himself a new mistress, but Caspian was able to pay him off to forget about his revenge plan towards me," he said, and she was even more shocked to learn that.

"Caspian never told me."

"Then it wouldn't be a surprise," Theo said.

"Oh, Caspian." She muttered, feeling so grateful.

"You have no idea how happy this makes me."

"I better lead you to your husband-to-be before he rushes out in search for you," Theo said, and they all laugh.

Thea decided to stay low, allowing Camila to enjoy her moment with her family.

Camila and Theo shared a long lasting hug before finally pulling away.

"I'm so proud of you, my little sister," Theo said, his eyes glistening with tears. He appreciated the sacrifice she made to save his life, and it landed her right in the arms of the man she loved.

"I love you so much, Camila."

"I love you so much, Theo."

They hug even more and before finally breaking it off.

"Alright, I'm ready," she says, and tries to wipe her tears.

"Uh-huh... Don't," Thea says, stopping her from messing up her makeup.

"Ariana, come out here," she says, and Ariana rushes in. Camila laughs, realizing Thea knew about Theo coming and the fact that she wouldn't be able to stop herself from tearing up.

"You knew all along?" Thea shrugs.

Ariana was wiping her tears as well, being moved by the interaction between Camila and her brother.

"Forgive me. I'm sorry. It was just too emotional to watch." Ari said causing them to erupt in laughter, and she touches Camila's makeup.

"You're the prettiest bride, Camila. I want you to know that. I love you," Thea said, and she nods and then turns to Theo, who took her hand and began escorting her to the church.

The church gates open after alerting them that the bride was ready.

The instrumental began playing, and she walks in, looking at Theo until they stepped into the church, and Theo looked at her back, feeling very proud of her.

She sights the love of her life, Caspian, from where he stood, and her heart fills even more with so much love for him.

The way he looked at her made her feel like she was on top of her wings. She was skating with feelings.

She walks into the church, smiling widely, but could see Caspian struggling to hold his tears. Angel rubs his shoulder and whispers something to his ear.

"You better let those tears roll. That's the kind of thing love moves you to do. It moves you to tears, even if you were once a heartless Mafia man." Caspian lets his head fall slightly and lets out his tears. Camila stops, moved by his tears too. Tears well up in her eyes, and she continues walking. Thea is shedding tears already, because she was so happy for Camila.

To her Camila was the purest at heart and deserved all the happiness.

Camila sighted Florentine with Casimir. He was a good boy, not tearing up. She went to where they sat and cried as she placed a kiss on his forehead. She couldn't believe how much she could love such a little being. He came and changed the direction of love for her and Caspian. Loving him made them see life more deeply, and it made them love each other more.

"You be quiet my little prince, okay? Mum is going to get married to Dad today and the good thing is, you get to witness it. Not all babies get that privilege."

She continues to move and sees Florentine tearing up but trying to be demure about it. Cassie smiles, her eyes glinted with tears, but she held them back. Knight was beside her, rubbing her shoulder.

She finally got to the altar and stood opposite Caspian as Theo handed her off.

She smiled at her brother, and he moved to his seat.

Angel had finally given Caspian a handkerchief to wipe his tears, after allowing him to soak in tears.

She looks at him, and he looks at her. It was like a trance that clicked immediately she stood before him. They couldn't tear their gaze away from each other.

The priest had begun talking, opening the ceremony, and Camila and Caspian just kept staring at each other, reflecting on how far they had come.

Now it was time for their wedding vows, and the priest had started the call and response.

It was such an emotional moment for them, and they did everything to hold back tears from spilling.

With every word that left their mouths as they spoke their vows, their hearts and souls agreed to it and bonded with one another, and in no time, they were declared husband and wife.
