Chapter 99

• Hector's POV
• If you had asked me if I ever imagined that I, Hector Benatti, would perform a wedding ceremony such as the one we just performed, I would have said fuck no. For Maliyla, however, I would go to any extent to ensure she was happy. Watching her move about the room and interact with everyone, it was impossible not to admire her beauty and grace. In addition to her already undivided beauty, she wore a dress that accentuated it. The room seemed to come alive with her presence, and Maliyla seemed brighter than the stars in the sky. The beauty of this woman seemed to draw everyone to her as if she were a beacon of light.
• "I love how you look at her," Evangeline said, breaking me out of my thoughts.
