Wearing the Greek Millionaire's Ring - Page 67

“Yes. Oh, yes.” Happy tears splashed onto her cheeks as he slid the ring on her finger.

After Roberto stood and kissed her again, they turned to Xander, waiting for his reaction.

“What’s everyone looking at me for?” Xander’s stony expression burst into a big smile. “I couldn’t be happier for either of you.” He hugged each of them.

And then Roberto’s grandparents stepped forward. She’d forgotten they were still there. A puzzled expression was written over his grandfather’s face. “I don’t understand. I thought you were already engaged.”

Everyone started to laugh. Roberto promised to fill his grandfather in later, but right now he had plans with his fiancée. They had wedding plans to make because August wasn’t that far off.

EPILOGUE

August... Infinity Island, Greece

THEY’D PASSED THE TEST.

Stasia smiled. Not that she ever had any doubt about their compatibility. Still, not everyone passed the wedding test issued by Infinity Island. They were meant to be.

She stood in what used to be Popi’s bungalow. But now that she had married the love of her life, Apollo, and moved to the Drakos estate, where she had started her own wedding business, this bungalow had been designated the bridal suite. It was where the brides came and stayed until the big day.

Stasia had been here for a week. Not only did she want to take part in the wedding preparations, but she also wanted to spend some time with her family before Roberto swept her off on a monthlong honeymoon in Alaska, of all places. He said they had sun and sand whenever they wanted, but snowy peaks and cozy fires were for snuggling. She had a distinct impression that they’d be doing a lot more than snuggling in the luxury cabin that he’d reserved for them.

Roberto had been tying things up at the office all week and she couldn’t wait to see him. Now that he had taken over the family business, he had been working long hours to undo the damage the former accounts manager had done. The authorities had arrested the man and were still working on tracking down the funds that had been meticulously siphoned from the company.

But in the end, Roberto’s grandfather was able to retire in peace. He knew the company was in good hands. And with the safeguards Roberto had implemented since taking the reins, the likelihood of anything like this ever happening again had been greatly reduced.

And Roberto’s grandfather was so thrilled that they were tying the knot that he had agreed to step back in and run the company while Roberto enjoyed a nice long honeymoon. Stasia was thrilled to see the two men drawn back together.

Roberto’s parents, on the other hand, were coming to the wedding, separately. Though some things changed, others stayed the same. At least Roberto had accepted that marriage and love didn’t have to be as complicated as his parents’ relationship with each other and with him.

Knock. Knock.

“Stasia, are you in there?”

Her heart leaped with joy. It was Roberto, at last.

She rushed to the door and swung it wide open. “You arrived just in time.”

“What? Did you think I’d be late for my own wedding?”

The thought had crossed her mind. She knew how wrapped up he could get when he was working, but she also knew he could be just as devoted to his family. And that was something she loved about him, his passion for the things that mattered most to him.

“You did?” He glanced at her with an astonished look on his face. “You really thought I’d forget our big day?”

“No, of course not.” When he arched a disbelieving brow, she said, “But I know how distracted you can get in your work.”

“Not enough to forget you.” He leaned forward and kissed her. Not a brief peck, but a long deep thorough kiss to prove to her just how much she mattered to him.

When he finally pulled away, her heart was hammering in her chest. And the news she had to share with him had somehow escaped her.

Not wanting to stay inside on such a beautiful day, she said, “Let’s take a walk.”

Hand in hand, they made their way to the beach. This was where their wedding was to take place. White chairs were already set up on either side of the sandy aisle that would be lined with white rose petals just before the service began.
