Chapter 74: The Wedding
Lilia stood gracefully, her makeup done, her hair styled, and her wedding gown perfectly fitted. She looked radiant—an embodiment of elegance, warmth, and sophistication.
She wore a pure white, body-hugging gown that accentuated her figure in all the right places. Unlike traditional wedding dresses that flared from the waist, hers was distinct. The sleek fit extended to her knees before transitioning into delicate, cascading layers of embroidered netting, resembling intricate steps. Scattered across the fabric were shimmering black-silver stones, resembling tiny diamonds that glistened under the light.
The fabric hugged her curves effortlessly, sculpting her into a vision of unparalleled beauty. Every movement she made was fluid, graceful, as if she had stepped out of a dream. It was impossible to look away.
Her hair was styled in a breathtaking fashion—half-swept to subtly veil her eyes before gathering into a bow-like bun at the back. Elegant silver hairpins and accessories adorned her locks, adding a regal touch. Her makeup was flawlessly applied, complementing her striking golden-brown eyes, long lashes, and soft pink lips enhanced with a subtle gloss.
Everything blended into perfection. She had always been breathtaking, but at this moment, she was utterly mesmerizing.
A soft knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts.
Not long after, Evie entered.
"It’s time, Mrs Lilia," she said, her voice gentle yet firm.
Lilia’s heart pounded loudly in her chest. She knew exactly what this moment meant. The night had fully embraced the dying evening, and her heartbeat only grew stronger. Was it excitement? Nerves? She couldn’t tell—her emotions were tangled, a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.
Her fingers curled slightly at her sides as she took in a slow breath. Thiswasit.
She nodded quietly and stepped forward.
