Chapter 182 I’ll Love Only You

19 min left

Upstairs on the second floor, Alyssa was peeking out the window when she suddenly squealed in excitement. “Kaia! Uncle Lucien’s here!”

She whirled around to Kayla. “Quick, let’s block the door. We’ve got to make them work for it before they’re allowed in!”

Downstairs, the noise was growing louder. The groomsmen had started coming up the stairs.

In the bedroom, Kaia sat on the edge of the bed in her wedding dress, veil draped over her head. Her heart was pounding in her chest.

Outside the door, Lucien’s deep voice called, “Honey, open the door. I’m here to take you home.”

“Nope! Not opening it!” Alyssa shouted back gleefully. “If you want in, you better show us some sincerity. Let’s see what you’ve Bol!”

Lucien’s brow twitched. He was just about to speak when he heard his own niece cheerfully switch sides. “Alyssa,” he said, “check your phone, Tell me if it’s sincere enough.”

Alyssa tapped open her screen and was momentarily blinded by the notification–six whole figures transferred into her account.

Eyes sparkling, she said, “Uncle Lucien, there are two bridesmaids, you know. One transfer isn’t enough for good luck.”

Lucien glanced at Calvin. “She’s your girl. You send it.”

Calvin groaned but opened up the chat with Kayla anyway.

Seconds later, a red exclamation mark appeared. The groomsmen all leaned in to look, snickering. “Wow, Calvin. How bad was it that she blocked you?”

Behind the door, Kayla’s face flushed. She had blocked Calvin the very night they’d met.

Calvin rubbed his nose and muttered, “Alyssa, check your phone. Help me transfer it to Ms. Lewis.”

A second transfer popped up on Alyssa’s screen. She clapped a hand over her mouth, trying not to burst out laughing. “Come on, Kayla. Let’s split the loot.”

Kaia sighed through a laugh, “Alyssa! Don’t make it sound like we’re dividing up stolen goods.”

That didn’t sound good.

Even with the bribes in hand, the two bridesmaids still didn’t open the door. Alyssa wasn’t about to pass up the chance to tease Lucien,

“Uncle Lucien,” she chirped, “check your messages. If you read this out loud with that megaphone, then we’ll open the door.”

Lucien unlocked his phone and scrolled through the message. The guys leaned in to read it and collectively sucked in a breath.

Was he really going to say something this cheesy out loud?

Sue, ever the helpful one, handed him the little red megaphone. “Ms. Graves asked me to prepare this for you.”

Lucien accepted it, took a breath, and–ignoring the snickers behind him—began to read, voice steady and low. “Kaia, in this life, I’ll love only you. I’ll spoil you, protect you, and never lie to you. Every promise I’ve made, I’ll keep. Every word I’ve said to you, I meant with all my heart.

“Whenever you need me, I’ll be there–no conditions, no hesitation. If anyone dares to hurt you, I’ll be the first to stand by your side. When you’re happy, I’ll laugh with you. When you’re sad, I’ll do everything I can to cheer you up. To me, you’ll always be the most beautiful woman in the world. You’re in my dreams every night.”

Landon shook his head, stunned. “He really went all in.”

Lucien ignored them completely. His gaze never left the door, as if he could see right through it–right through to the woman waiting in white on the other side.

“Honey,” he said, voice soft. “Open the door. Your husband’s here to take you home.”

Alyssa, still gleeful, replayed the recording of Lucien’s love declaration, then turned to her best friend. “Kaia, what do you say? Do we open it?”

A wave of emotion welled up behind Kaia’s eyes, her nose tingling. “Open it,” she whispered. “Alyssa, open the door.”

If he was truly heaven’s gift to her, then she was ready to take the gamble one more time.

Lucien immediately stepped in front of the group, blocking anyone else from pushing forward.

As Alyssa turned the knob and opened the door, his eyes were locked on the woman in the room. She sat on the bed in her wedding gown, the fabric cascading around her like a sea of white.

Lucien moved with quiet confidence, ignoring the chaos behind him. His attention was fixed solely on the one who mattered most. In that moment, the world around them faded into

stillness.

His voice was low, rich, and mesmerizing. “Honey, I’m coming

in.”

Kaia blushed crimson under his gaze. She lowered her lashes, whispering shyly, “Okay.”

With her consent, Lucien walked over slowly and knelt on one knee. “Honey,” he said, looking up into her eyes, “will you marry me?”

Everyone in the room fell silent. Even the bridesmaids were too stunned to react.

Kaia’s wide eyes shimmered with tears. She opened her mouth, and with a soft, trembling breath, gave him the answer he’d been waiting for. “I will.”

Lucien’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Those three words hit him like a jolt straight to the heart–sweet and overwhelming.

He gently lifted her veil and leaned in to kiss her.

The groomsmen erupted in cheers and whistles, making the whole room burst into celebration.

But Kaia didn’t hear any of it. Her heart was racing, her lashes trembling, and all she could feel was the warmth of Lucien’s lips and the arms around her. She was excited and nervous.

“Hey! Uncle Lucien!” Alyssa suddenly yelped, breaking them apart. “You’re skipping steps! You’re not supposed to kiss the bride yet!”

Lucien’s gaze softened, his eyes brimming with affection as he looked at his blushing bride. “Honey, be honest with me,” he murmured with a teasing smile. “Where did you hide your wedding shoes?”

Kaia lowered her eyes, voice soft as a whisper. “Under the skirt of my dress.”

“Kaia!” Alyssa gasped, half exasperated and half amused. “Why would you just tell him like that?”

Lucien, utterly smug, curled his lips into a triumphant grin. He lifted the edge of her gown—and sure enough, found the silver wedding shoes tucked neatly beneath the layers of tulle.

With a magnetic, self–satisfied tone, he quipped, “You don’t get it. My honey just can’t bear to see me suffer.”

Then, without hesitation, Lucien bent down, slipped his arms under Kaia, and lifted her up in a bridal carry, layers of her heavy gown cascading around them.

Downstairs, Tobias stood waiting in the grand entryway, his heart swelling with emotion. He’d already assumed the role of the proud father, eager for Lucien to come over as a show of traditional respect.

But just as Kaia and Lucien reached the staircase landing, Kaia gently scratched at the back of Lucien’s neck and whispered, “Let’s skip it. Just head straight to the car–let’s go to the hotel.”

Lucien looked at her, mildly surprised. “Aren’t we supposed to greet Tobias first?”
