The Ex-billionaire's Bride
Ep-4
The marriage ceremony had concluded with a quiet solemnity, leaving Evelyn feeling a mix of relief and uncertainty.
She stood beside Alex, her newly-wedded husband, acutely aware of his commanding presence and the weight of their sudden union.
The sight of her older brother, William, approaching broke her reverie. Despite being twenty-five, William's intellectual dyslexia often made him seem much younger, a fact that Evelyn both cherished and protected.
William
So, are we leaving?
Evelyn Bennett
Yes, Will. Go and bring your luggage
Evelyn replied gently, exchanging a glance with Alex, who watched her brother with a measured gaze.
William nodded eagerly and scurried off to gather his things, leaving Evelyn and Alex alone in the quiet aftermath of the ceremony. Alex's gaze softened as he turned to her, his voice carrying a trace of amusement.
Alexander Bennett
What are those fiery eyes, Mrs. Bennett?
Alex inquired, closing the distance between them with purposeful steps.
Evelyn Bennett
Why did you glare at my brother?
Alexander Bennett
I was merely assessing my new brother-in-law. He'll be living with us, won't he?
Alex asked casually, reaching out to take Evelyn's hand in his. His touch sent a shiver down her spine, a sensation she struggled to ignore.
Evelyn Bennett
Yes, he will.
Alex leaned closer, his breath warm against her cheek as he pressed a tender kiss to her forehead.
