The Royal Contract

Chapter 1090 - 1090 A package deal

1090 A package deal

He could not wait to see his bride come down that aisle and smile at him. He never thought that this day would finally come. Truthfully, he had never dreamed of getting married.

But at that moment, he could not wait to get tied down to one woman and never look at anyone else for the rest of his life. He guessed his bachelor days were over, and he was turning a new leaf in his life.

“Sir, the bride is already waiting outside.” The coordinator said to him as if signaling for him to get ready. “We are about to start.” The woman continued, but he only nodded in response, unable to say anything else.

Nonetheless, he had never felt more prepared in his entire life as he waited for those doors to open and reveal his wife-to-be. She had made him realize that this was what he had always longed for, not success in his career or money. But someone to love and love him back.

“Ok. Start the music.” Evan heard the woman had instructed the man behind the piano.

He stood alone at the altar with strangers taking part in this ceremony. But he did not care, knowing that soon, as that door opened, the people he cared about would march toward him and join him in this momentous event.

How much he wished that their friends were here to join them. He also hoped that her father would have loved her enough for her to want him at this wedding.

But for now, he could not have everything. However, he was ready to settle for the woman he loved and the little circle that he called his family. And from this point forward, he would shower her with all the love she deserved.

“We are a go.” He heard the woman say on her headset. Then, everything went silent as the music began, filling the air around him.

.....

But he did not care about the music as his eyes focused on the light that slowly peeked through the opening doors. To him, the sight was simply magical. He had no words to describe it as the woman he had yearned to be with appeared before his eyes.

However, it was a false alarm as Eida emerged from the radiating light with Luisa in her arms. The maid of honor and their little flower girl prepared the way for the bride as they scattered red and white rose petals on the carpeted pathway.

It was such an adorable sight to see their little angel beaming with happiness as she played with the petals in her fingers. He could not wait to have an angel of his own.

“What is taking her so long?” Evan mumbled as he waited impatiently to see Amelia. He always thought one of his friends would stand by his side to give him moral support on his wedding day.

However, he understood if none of them could come. They would have if he had invited them, but he knew their families and loved ones needed them more than he needed them.

Eventually, his long wait ended as he saw a shadow or an image of a woman standing at the center of the bright light. He knew then that it was her, no doubt about it.

“Wow! She is a beauty.” A man’s voice penetrated his thought, saying what he should have said. She was indeed the most beautiful bride in his eyes.

She was everything he had never dreamed of but, by some stroke of luck, found landing in his arms. Maybe it was a reward for what he had done in his past life or a debt he had to pay in his next. But still, he believed she was worth it.

“You are one lucky man,” Elvis said behind him as he stared at the woman who gradually descended toward him.

Of course, not Elvis himself, but the man impersonating the legendary King of rock and roll. He would be officiating their wedding. He was legit, and it seemed fun to have him as part of this wedding party. It would not be a Vegas wedding without him.

He met him earlier in the hotel lobby when he and his friend struggled to find someone to perform the ceremony. It seemed the one his friend contacted had a sudden emergency and could not make it. He would settle for him instead of postponing their plans.

“I am.” He proudly acknowledged, knowing in his heart that he would not have met her if fate had not intervened. Then, she would not have fallen in love with him if she never gave him several chances to correct his mistakes.

After that, he could care less what the man said, as his only focus was on the woman who slowly marched down the aisle. She was the most beautiful creature that ever existed on this earth. She must be an angel sent to him to put him in the right direction.

His grandmother had been right all along. She was the perfect match for him because she could tame his wild heart with her smile. Her voice could soothe his soul, and her love could melt all the fear in his cold heart.

“I guess this is where I give my blessings to both of you,” Angela said as she kissed them, both on their cheeks, before stepping aside, giving way for the groom to take his bride to the altar.

He did not even notice how beautiful his grandmother was until she spoke to him. That was how focused he was on keeping his eye on the prize because he would not let anything take her away from him.

“Thank you, Grandmama, for everything.” He could not enumerate all of them because a lifetime seemed not enough.

He watched her teary grandmother smile at them, showing them how happy she was. Finally, he had his future wife in his arms as he ushered her toward the man that would legally make them one.

“Elvis?” Amelia uttered in shock as they stopped before the altar. It appeared that she only had eyes for him as she did not notice the man standing behind him until now.

“I am sorry about him, but...” He was ready to explain. In case she found this weird. After all, she might expect an ordained priest to officiate their wedding, as they had discussed earlier.

“Don’t be.” She suddenly answered, surprising him. “You just made Grandmama Angela very happy.” She added, pointing to his grandmother, who had a lovely smile on her lips.

He had forgotten how much his grandparents idolized the legendary singer. Now, he could see that the three women joining him today only had smiles on their lips. Maybe fate was still smiling down on him.

“Can you sing?” Suddenly, Amelia asked their wedding minister. “Maybe you can also do a few numbers on our reception.”

It was a small reception that included the bride, the groom, and their three guests. But it was all they needed to celebrate this private occasion.

He could not help but shake his head as Elvis smiled at them.

“Of course! I will.” Elvis playfully answered them. “It is a package deal.” He added as he playfully winked at Angela, who gushed at her spot like a fan girl.
