The wedding happened in the university garden behind the mansion.
Small.
Eighty guests.
No press.
Rebecca stood beside Marcus.
Victor beside her.
Adrian sat with Catherine.
Elena sent a card.
Marcus read it privately.
You finally found someone you cannot control and do not need to. Congratulations.
He laughed.
Sarah wore ivory.
Marcus cried immediately.
She whispered at the altar, “Already?”
“Apparently.”
Their vows were simple.
No grand promises.
Truth.
Choice.
Respect.
When the officiant asked whether anyone objected, Victor coughed loudly.
Rebecca punched his arm.
Everyone laughed.
No scandal.
No hidden document.
No fake death.
