GETTING THE HEART OF THE CEO

The long-awaited day arrived for Lindsey and Kyle. She was happy, even though they had already been married, it wasn’t as pleasant for both of them; now, it felt like they could truly celebrate out of love.

She had asked her grandfather Hugo if he could walk her down the aisle. Since she didn’t have a father to represent her, who better than the man who had shown her affection that she never experienced in her family.

Grandpa Hugo was excited about giving his granddaughter away at the altar. Lindsey was ready, and her friends were there with her.

“Stop crying, Luan, you’re going to make me cry on my wedding day,” Lindsey exclaimed while looking at herself in the mirror.

“But you look so beautiful. I have so many mixed emotions. I love weddings, and I know it’s challenging for someone like me,” Luan said through tears.

Stefany hugged him from behind. This extroverted and demanding friend of theirs never hesitated when it came to supporting the couples.

“The right one will come, brother. We should be happy for the bride, so stop crying; you’ll look terrible for our friend’s most important day. Besides, we, the bridesmaids, have to look impeccable.”

Lindsey chose Janna as the matron of honor, and Luan, Stefany, and Isa were the bridesmaids. The girls wore red dresses with white details, halfway fitted to the body and knee-length. Luan wore a suit with a shirt and pants with the same details as the dresses.

Lindsey looked like a princess in a white dress off the shoulders with a sweetheart neckline, fitted to the waist, and a long skirt with lace.

The girls’ dresses were almost similar to their mother’s, but theirs had sleeves and frames.

“We’re ready; now let’s go. The groom is waiting for us,” Janna said to snap their friends out of nostalgia.

“Let’s go; the limousine is waiting for us. The grandmother and the kids have arrived at Kyle’s mansion,” Isa said, ushering the women out of the room.

Antonella went ahead with the children to coordinate with Sussan the bride’s entrance.

The wedding would take place in the garden, decorated with white and red flowers. The celebration would be held inside the mansion, and with the help of employees and hired personnel, they managed to set everything up in a day.

Sussan and Emilia were proud of the result. In the end, they took charge of the decoration and the banquet.

Kyle found a tuxedo similar to the suits his three children would wear.

“Kyle! Can you keep your nerves calm? It seems like it’s the first time you’re getting married. This is your second marriage; you should be used to it,” Freed joked behind the groom in front of the altar.

“This woman still hasn’t arrived. She should have already started.” He didn’t finish his sentence when the bridal march started playing.

Their five children acted as flower girls, marching while spreading flower petals on the red carpet, followed by the bride, who was hanging onto her grandfather’s arm.

As they approached, Kyle gave the bride a smile from ear to ear. To him, she looked like the most beautiful fairy his eyes had ever seen.

Lindsey walked toward the altar where the man she loved from the first day her eyes evaluated him stood.

Upon reaching the altar, Grandpa Hugo handed her over to his grandson.

“I give you my granddaughter, and this time, you’ve done things right. Take care of her and value her as the precious gem she is.”

Kyle’s eyes showed emotion, he took his wife’s hands, and nodded to his grandfather.

The priest began the ceremony, and the godfather handed the rings to Kyle. They exchanged their wedding vows and were finally declared husband and wife. Kyle approached his wife and gave her a tender kiss amid the applause. Grandma Antonella was the first to come and congratulate them.

After the congratulations, they walked towards the celebration area and raised a toast to their union. Kyle, with a satisfied expression, whispered to his wife, “Now I am your husband, as it should have been from the beginning of our love, when I fell in love with a noble and kind soul. I am captivated by your presence.”

“I love you, my love. You are perfect!” She replied with a big smile.

Suddenly, Kyle took away the glass she was holding, placed it on a nearby table, and led her to the dance floor. The music began, and they had their first dance to the rhythm of Sin Bandera’s song “Que Me Alcance la Vida” (“May Life Reach Me”).

Lindsey, with her head on his shoulder, shed a few tears upon hearing him stammer.

‘I ask God to grant me enough life and time to come back, even if it’s just a little of what you give me. I ask God to grant me enough life to tell you everything I feel thanks to your love.’

Their children interrupted this magical moment for them, joining with laughter to dance together.

The party continued with drinks, dances, and excitement. Several couples took advantage of the moment to exchange meaningful glances. Jimena told the others about the girl she found in the alley who had no family.

“I’m thinking of taking her to the foster home if she wants.”

“You can count on me if you need me to talk to her. That’s very tough; you devalue yourself as a person, thinking you’re worth nothing,” Stefany sighed, feeling sorry for the poor girl. “I, more than anyone, know what she must be going through right now, and she’s going to need people to lift her spirits and boost her self-esteem. I was lucky to have you all.”

Janna and Luan looked at each other with compassion.

“You can count on us too,” Luan expressed.

“With me as well! I want to help her get out of that confinement because now she has to face the memories, and we’ll all be there to support her. Right, guys?” Lindsey interrupted as she joined them.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Jimena, touched by the good hearts of her friends, said, “Thank you, my loves. I know I can count on you. Well, now let’s enjoy the party.”

“Guys, shall we change? It’s time to get comfortable,” Lindsey suggested, and they went upstairs to the rooms that Sussan had assigned them.

The four women had already changed when someone knocked on the door. Janna opened it, thinking it was Luan.

“Hey, girls, I’m here to steal the bride!” Kyle entered the room with big strides.

“No, Kyle! The party is not over! I want to enjoy it with my friends, and besides, the kids are here,” Lindsey protested confidently, placing her hands on her hips.

Kyle looked at Janna to inform her, “Janna, take care of letting the guests know that the party is over for the newlyweds.” Glancing at his wife, he continued, “The kids are in charge of Sussan, Emilia, and your grandmother.”

“Well, I decline; I want to keep enjoying…” She didn’t finish her sentence when she felt herself being lifted in the air. Kyle placed her over his shoulder and exited the room.
