My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Half an hour later, the grand bridal procession, flanked by the Nightshade family’s.friends and other guests, all boarded their vehicles, with a couple of pink Velocity Motors supercars encircled protectively in the middle. 

Surrounded by a crowd, Xanthea, cradling her bouquet, gracefully descended the steps. A few red umbrellas were hoisted high, shielding her stunning beauty from view. Only the trailing edge of her pristine white wedding gown was visible, held firmly by Ethan and Samuel, who were like two gallant knights safeguarding their princess on her journey to matrimony. 

“The bride is in the car!” 

A shout went up, and hundreds of luxury cars roared to life. 

At the same time, a wedding that shook the nation was pinned to the top of every major social media platform!

#The most luxurious wedding of the century fresh out of the oven # 

Outside the bronze fences of Xanthea Haven Estate, 520 luxury wedding cars were parked, with servants slowly opening the gilded gates wrapped in bright red satin ribbons, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful scene inside, like something out of a fairytale. 

“Wow!” 

Everyone who got out of their cars was struck speechless by the sight 

“Have we stepped into paradise?” 

Elegant champagne canopies, romantic balloon ribbons, delicate dew kissed flowers, and fine vine lace adomed the magnificent estate, making the pavilions, lakes, lush forests, vast meadows, and sky–gazing terraces seem like a mythical forest sanctuary, all gathered on a picturesque fairy isle. 

The island was covered with soft green foliage, with a path cleared in the middle. People lined both sides, with vine–wrapped arches one after another, and the ground paved with black and gold marble tiles was strewn with bright, beautiful rose petals. The pink Velocity Motors supercar leaped over them, stirring up a shower of petals. 

Through the sunroof, a single crimson rose fell onto Xanthea’s forehead. 

She marveled at the beautiful shower of rose petals and the scenery outside, too beautiful for words. 

In just nine days, how had Orion transformed this place into a floral paradise, a wedding hall of dreams?! 

“The bride is here!” 

“The bride is here.” 

“Oh my god, I only caught a glimpse of her silhouette, but she’s super stunning!” 

“Don’t rush, everyone, head to the wedding venue and wait; the bride will make her appearance soon!” 

“We’re here.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Ethan and Samuel, navigating through the throngs, folded the red umbrellas and escorted Xanthea into the bridal suite. 

A few servants hurriedly took the bouquet and arranged her gown. 

“Mrs. Lockwood, are you thirsty? Want some water?” 

I’m fine, thank you. Ethan, Samuel, how about you guys?”
