The brothers who fought for me (by Levi Bennett) novel Chapter 6

**A Promise Lost Between Two Worlds by Jaxon Hale Ryder**

As the final touches of her packing were coming together, an unexpected call disrupted Juliette’s focus. The voice on the other end was familiar yet professional, belonging to someone from the magazine she worked with.

“Julie, we need to talk. You still have one more wedding photoshoot scheduled before your trip abroad. The client has specifically requested you as their photographer. They insist that only you can capture their special moments…”

Without hesitation, Juliette replied, “Just send me the address.”

Once she received the details, she swiftly gathered her camera gear, her heart racing with a mix of anticipation and dread. The autumn air in Aspen Snowmass was crisp, invigorating, and filled with the scent of fallen leaves, a stark contrast to the memories that lingered in her mind. The snow-capped peaks towered majestically against the backdrop of vibrant fall foliage, creating a picturesque scene that was almost too beautiful to bear.

For a fleeting moment, Juliette found herself lost in the breathtaking panorama, her thoughts drifting back to the time she had taken her own wedding photos with Giovanni in this very place. The memory was like a bittersweet melody, echoing in her heart. But she quickly steeled herself, pushing down the wave of nostalgia that threatened to overwhelm her. She had a job to do, and it was time to focus. With a determined stride, she made her way toward the designated shooting spot.

As she approached, a familiar voice broke through her concentration. “Ms. Sullivan, what a delightful surprise! I didn’t expect you to be our photographer today.”

Turning around, Juliette’s gaze fell upon Leilani, resplendent in a flowing white wedding dress, standing proudly beside Giovanni, who was clad in a sharp black tuxedo. The sight of them together sent a jolt through her, a mixture of anger and sadness swirling within her.

Giovanni’s dark eyes caught hers for a brief moment, and in that instant, she saw something flicker—was it guilt? But before she could decipher it, he quickly averted his gaze, as if her presence was a weight he could no longer bear.

Leilani, ever the picture of sweetness, smiled brightly and extended her phone towards Juliette. “We took a similar photo in the Swiss Alps before. I’d love for you to use this as a reference to capture that romantic vibe we all adore.”

Juliette glanced at the screen, her heart sinking further. The image displayed a couple framed by the snowy mountains, sunlight glistening off the pristine white, while delicate snowflakes danced around them, creating an ethereal atmosphere that felt like a scene pulled from a fairy tale.

But then her eyes caught the date in the corner, and her breath hitched painfully in her throat. September 25, 2023. The very day she and Giovanni had immortalized their love in photographs, yet here he stood, sharing laughter and warmth with Leilani at the foot of the Swiss Alps. A bitter wave of resentment surged within her, and she felt her eyelashes flutter with unshed tears.

“Let’s get started, my dear sister-in-law,” Giovanni’s voice broke through her thoughts, laced with a tone that was almost mocking.

Juliette turned to him, her heart a tumultuous storm of emotions. A faint, sardonic smile graced her lips as she replied, “Of course.”

In truth, this marriage was teetering on the edge of collapse. Whether it was Ezekiel or Giovanni standing there, taking wedding photos with Leilani, it hardly mattered anymore. The reality was that the foundation of her life was crumbling, and she felt like a ghost haunting the remnants of a once-vibrant existence.
