Chapter 14

Noelle found herself standing in a beautiful garden bathed in soft golden light. Roses of every color surrounded her with their sweet and intoxicating scent. Suddenly, a gentle breeze carried the sound of a piano playing in the distance. It was a familiar melody that tugged at her heart.

She glanced down and gasped softly. She was wearing a wedding dress—a stunning creation of white lace and silk that clung to her figure perfectly as its train trailed elegantly behind her. Her hands trembled as she reached up to touch the delicate veil that framed her face. Everything were beautiful.

“Noelle,” a deep voice called out of nowhere that felt somehow warm and comforting.

The moment she turned, her heart skipped a beat as Adrian stood before her. He was dressed in a sharp black suit and the fabric hugged his tall frame impeccably. His amber eyes softened as they met hers, and a smile graced his lips that held a tenderness she hadn’t seen in what felt like forever.
