Chapter 14 - The Wedding by the Sea
The wedding was not held in a cold, imposing cathedral or under the glaring lights of high society. Instead, Alexander and Megan chose a secluded private cliffside estate overlooking the crashing waves of the Pacific, surrounded only by a handful of trusted friends, Foundation colleagues, and loyal guards who had become like family.
Megan wore a simple, elegant lace gown that flowed gently in the ocean breeze. As she walked down the stone pathway lined with white roses, holding Lily’s tiny hand on one side while carrying a small bouquet in the other, her heart felt impossibly light.
Standing at the altar in a tailored black suit with his signature composure gone, replaced entirely by raw, overwhelming emotion, was Alexander. His dark eyes glistened as he watched her approach.
"I never thought I’d stand here," Alexander whispered softly as Megan reached his side. "Not after everything."

"Miracles happen when you stop running," Megan replied with a radiant smile.
With Lily serving as the most enthusiastic flower girl in history—scattering petals with wild, uninhibited joy—they exchanged vows written in the crucible of survival, grief, and fierce, unconditional love. When the officiant pronounced them husband and wife, Alexander pulled Megan into a passionate, sweeping kiss as the gathered guests cheered and the waves crashed against the cliffs below.
