In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 341

"I'm so happy for them," Keira said, setting her phone down. "You should have seen how stressed she was about it all. This will change everything for them nad taken the pressure off me."

The door opened, and an assistant poked her head in. "Miss Warner? It's time."

Sutton took a deep breath, meeting her sisters' eyes in the mirror. "This is it."

Keira and Blair moved to stand beside her, the three Warner sisters together for a moment. She wished their parents could see them now. But like she had told Sophie at the hospital, she was sure they would be looking down on them now.

"Look at us," Blair said softly, echoing Keira's thoughts. "Mom and Dad would be so proud."

Sutton's eyes glistened. "They're here with us today. I can feel it."

The three sisters embraced, careful not to smudge makeup or disturb hairstyles, but needing the physical connection. When they pulled apart, Keira noted with surprise that even she had tears in her eyes. She, who prided herself on being the tough one.

"Alright, enough of this mushy stuff," she declared, dabbing carefully at her eyes. "Let's get you fixed up before any mascara runs."

"I can't believe I'm finally marrying him," Sutton said, smoothing the silk with trembling hands. "After everything..."

Keira knew what she meant. Sutton and Luca's path hadn't been straight or easy. There had been misunderstandings, a pregnancy that came as a surprise, and Miles's early arrival. But through it all, their love had grown stronger.

"He's a lucky man," Keira said firmly. "And he damn well knows it."

Sutton laughed, the sound light and happy. "I'm the lucky one."

"You're both lucky," Blair corrected, always the diplomat. "Now, let's get you married before Luca sends out a search party."

As Blair helped Sutton with her veil, pulling it over her face, Keira stepped back, taking in the scene. A year ago, she had been so closed off, so determined to protect her heart that she nearly missed the chance at love. Now, watching her sister prepare to marry the man she loved, Keira felt gratitude for her own journey.

The door opened again, and this time it was Luca's father Nick, looking distinguished in his tuxedo. He would be walking Sutton down the aisle in their father’s place.

"Ladies," he said, his voice catching slightly when he saw Sutton. "You all look beautiful. Luca is a very lucky man."

Sutton moved forward to hug him carefully. "Thank you for doing this."

She stepped forward on cue, walking the path strewn with rose petals. As she passed Alexei, their eyes met, and he gave her that private smile that was hers alone. The one that said, "That will be us soon." He winked at her.

Taking her place at the altar, Keira turned to watch her eldest sister's entrance. The music swelled, guests rose to their feet, and Sutton appeared on Nick's arm, radiant with happiness.

Luca's face transformed at the sight of her. In that moment, watching them look at each other as if no one else existed, Keira understood completely what had drawn them together, what had kept them fighting for their relationship through all the obstacles.

It was the same force that had brought her to Alexei, that had helped her tear down her walls and take the risk of loving someone completely. It was terrifying and exhilarating and worth every moment of vulnerability.

As Sutton reached Luca's side and Nick placed her hand in his, Keira caught Blair's eye. They shared a silent communication; they both felt overjoyed for their sister.

The minister began the ceremony, his voice carrying across the garden. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..."

Keira found herself blinking back tears again. Who would have thought that all three Warner sisters would find their happy endings in only a year?

Not endings, she corrected herself as she caught Alexei's gaze again from the front row. Beginnings. Beautiful, unexpected beginnings.
