My four brothers stand by my side in the beautiful vineyard Hannah and I chose as our wedding venue. Countless of Hannah's friends are seated in front of me, all of them whispering to each other.
Their invite merely stated that they were jointly invited by the Windsors and the Du Ponts, but no mention was made of a wedding. We did it that way to ensure our wedding couldn't be crashed by paparazzi, but it's worked in our favor in more than one way.
I was meant to announce what they were here for the moment I took my place at the altar, but how can I, when I don't know who the bride will be?
"It's for the best," Lex says, and Luca nods in agreement.
"She might still change her mind," I tell them, but they all shake their heads.
"She won't," Zane replies. "And someday you'll thank her for it."
