Chapter 124 Bound By Joy

• Rachel POV
• The Miami sun dipped low, painting the sky in hues of coral and gold, its warmth kissing my skin as I walked hand-in-hand with Jeremy along the palm-lined path near the Morrow mansion, our fingers interlocked, his calloused grip a vow that anchored me, a promise that we were free, unbound, no longer fugitives of love but fiancés, a word that sparkled in my mind like the diamond on my finger, its modest gleam a testament to our journey, our triumph, our forever.
• The air was thick with the scent of jasmine and salt, a Miami breeze that carried the pulse of the city, its rhythm echoing the beat of my heart, a heart that still raced with disbelief, with joy, with the wild, beautiful madness of it all—Jeremy’s proposal, Nick and Scarlett’s acceptance, the lunch where we’d laughed as a family, the ring that now marked me as his, as ours.
