Chapter 184
Zendaya’s POV
The planning of the engagement party was extremely difficult for Aurora and I so we had to hire some people who would do it with us. It had turned into a disaster for us to do it ourselves so it was not bad for us to get someone who had the planning as a job.
Finally during the day of the party, we had arrived at the party on time to see how amazing everything had turned out.
“I never would have done this in a million years,” she said as I laughed.
“Me neither.” I was glad that I had listened to Asher or I would have been in serious trouble with the plans I was making.
During the engagement party, I had introduced the children to their grandmother which was an awkward moment.
“Children, grandmother,” I said to the triplets. “Mum, grandchildren.”
The woman was pleased to meet them and as they greeted her she turned to me and showered me with compliments on how I had raised three well mannered children.
I watched Aurora play with the children and my mum before leaving to get ready in the main house.
I dressed up in my dress which had real diamonds laced around the collars. This was something I was intrigued to see. The fabric was made from breathable fabric which was beautiful to touch.
When I was done dressing up, I looked in the mirror to see how amazing I looked before leaving for the main event.
Stepping into the event had everyone staring at me with awe. Asher stayed at the bottom of the stairs expecting me to show up at the underground party as a normal woman in a gown but I wowed him with the dress I had chosen.
I walked down to meet him with the press following me while taking pictures of the event, calling it a fairytale meeting.
Even with security being as tight as it could be, I was still very skeptical as I knew Delia was missing. She had not yet been apprehended by the police. This had me feeling worried as I knew she could pop out of nowhere and try to steal the show with her claws.
Every entrance was closed off by security, and we had chosen an underground hall in the mansion to have the party as we wanted it to be the perfect venue but also to be a very good place to catch her if she tried to jump in from the windows.
There was no way she could use a sniper even if she wanted to. We had gone through every vent to make sure she had not planted anything.
The drinks and food were placed in a food tester to check for poisoning and the security made sure to scan everyone for weapons as this was to be a private event and not a public one.
The lives of my children and my family were in danger so I had to make sure everything was perfect. Even Asher made sure to keep close to me from time to time and his eyes darted from side to side making sure to scan anyone who came close to me.
“Hey,” he said to me when he noticed I was getting too paranoid. “You should relax. I have this place wired to keep you safe and the security have their eyes on you. Nothing is going to happen to you.”
I smiled holding him as he led me to the dance floor where we did a romantic dance with everyone smiling at us.
“Everyone is looking,” I said, being self conscious as he chuckled.
“Let them look,” was his answer. He really has changed from that man who didn’t want me anywhere close to him to this man who wanted the whole world to know I was his.
I kissed him as the cameras flashed on us blinding me temporarily.
After the romantic dance, I took a family portrait with my immediate family, the first with just Asher and the children and the second with my siblings, mum and dad joining.
My dad came late so I could not introduce him but somehow he introduced himself, having the children to magically like him more than my mum. It was crazy but somehow he had made it happen.
Even Asher agreed that my father was a more likable person than my mother.
The party was going so great that I could not wait for the wedding to happen as I had so many plans. I knew something would happen at the wedding but I didn’t know what it would be.
After the party, I thanked everyone for showing up and immediately headed for the bathroom to shower and get rid of the makeup which was starting to stick.
He joined me, touching my naked body parts as he stripped.
He was erect and wanted to have sex but I stopped him.
“What? Is something wrong?” he was alarmed by my action.
“Let’s not have sex until our wedding day arrives.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“But that is a month away from now,” he sighed.
“It’s going to be our wedding season. Let’s enjoy it till the end. You’ll have me forever but I just want it to be special for me and for you.”
“But we have sex all the time. This is ridiculous.”
“I know, I’m so sorry, but rules are rules and we should follow them.”
“This is stupid. And who made that fucking rule anyway? We can have sex while single but not a month before getting married?”
He was mad at me but he decided to abide by it.
“Oh now you know how it feels. Remember when you told me to wait till I recovered? Yeah, that’s how it feels.”
I laughed at his face which was mushed into the funniest look I had ever seen. I could not hide my laughter while watching him frown at the game I had played with him.
“Fuck you,” he sighed walking out of the bathroom.
