NovelBookEveryone walked their own chosen path, carving out a life that belonged to them alone. Youth seemed to last
just a few fleeting years, yet for them, it never truly faded.
Now that everything had settled down, Alessia was content to slip quietly into the background, leaving the
company in the capable hands of her trusted deputies. For the first time, she was ready to do something bold-
something she'd never experienced before.
But before that, there was something even more important to handle.
“Let's go,” Cole called, already waiting outside the dorm.
Alessia dove into his arms, and Cole pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. The two of them clung to each other
for a while-reluctant to let go-before finally climbing into the car and heading to their destination.
“We're stopping by A&P for the dress fitting first, then straight to the Laines?” Alessia asked, buckling her
seatbelt.
“That's right. Penny Sullivan wants to make sfinal adjustments to your dress. Queenie Windsor did her
fitting this morning, but she’s making a detour to the stuto pick up the jewelry you'll both wear. The makeup
crew’s already at the Laines, putting the finishing touches on Stella's look. I'll drop you off there. Once you're
done with makeup and ready in your dress, try to get srest. According to Justin Keane, we'll be leaving the
Keane estate around five in the morning.”
“So you're not going to get any sleep at all?” Alessia’s concern for her boyfriend was obvious, but with her best
friend's wedding coming up, she could only let Cole make that sacrifice,
Clearly, Cole felt the sway.

Cole’s voice was playful, half-pleading.
“No chance, darling boyfriend,” Alessia shot back, matching his tone.
Cole pouted, looking adorably put out. Alessia couldn't help but laugh softly and pressed a kiss to the back of his
hand.
Their schedule was tight, but everything was falling into place. After all, most problems could be solved with a
little money.
And for this whirlwind, they had Stella's impatience to thank.
Stella's college graduation was set for the day after tomorrow. Determined to have both her diploma and
marriage certificate in hand at once, she’d insisted on moving the wedding up by a full month.
Justin had no choice but to indulge her-even though it meant scrapping the original plan for a French manor
wedding. Thankfully, the estate was family property, so canceling wasn’t a big deal. Still, it meant Cole and
Alessia-like all the other unfortunate friends-had to scramble overnight to arrange a new venue and get
everything ready.
Stella wasn’t unreasonable, though. To her, as long as she and Justin had their marriage certificate, the rest
didn’t matter. The wedding could wait, and she’d gladly make up for it later.

Of course, Justin had put his foot down on that idea.
Even with the upheaval, he had no intention of letting things turn out half-heartedly. Determined to make it
perfect, Justin spent his nights designing a new ceremony and overseeing every detail, dragging Cole and the
rest in as extra hands.
Friends might complain, but when it cdown to it, they worked harder than anyone.
