Chapter 20 - The Golden Horizon
The luxurious wedding reception lasted completely into the late hours of the beautiful, starry evening.
The wicked memories of Victoria, Eleanor, and Julian were completely erased, securely locked away inside cold federal prisons forever.
Mark and Elena were completely free to finally build the incredible, deeply peaceful life they had fought so fiercely to secure.
As the joyful guests danced happily under the beautiful glowing fairy lights, Mark completely pulled Elena away to a quiet, secluded balcony overlooking the massive gardens.
The soft, gentle night breeze beautifully ruffled her stunning white dress as she leaned comfortably against his incredibly strong chest.
"It is absolutely perfectly quiet," Mark whispered softly into her ear, wrapping his arms protectively around her shoulders.
"It is going to be quiet forever now, Mark," Elena promised beautifully, placing her warm hand gently over his.
She slowly turned around, looking up into his incredibly handsome face with a deep, mysteriously joyful smile.
"But the house might get slightly louder in about seven months," Elena added softly, her eyes shining with pure, undeniable magic.
Mark completely froze, his eyes widening in absolute, incredible shock as he stared down at her beautiful smile.
"Elena... are you completely serious?" Mark asked, his voice cracking with pure, overwhelming joy.
"Yes, Mark. Lily is finally going to be an absolutely wonderful big sister," Elena laughed happily, completely crying tears of absolute joy.
Mark gently lifted her completely off the ground, spinning her around under the beautiful stars in total, absolute ecstasy.
