Chapter Twenty-One

“Ellena, I have been to many a wedding over the years,” Kamran said, closing the door to their palace suite, which had been decorated with flowers and décor from the wedding, so the theme of happiness carried throughout. They would leave for America tomorrow to honeymoon and tie up her business and family endeavors there. But tonight, as was the required custom, they would remain in Durabia. “By far, this was the best one—ever.”

She turned amused eyes on him. “You’re just saying that because it’s our wedding.”

“No, my love. I am saying it because it is true.” He did a little dance. “We learned to Salsa, and what was the other dance?”

Ellena sat on the bed and slid off her heels. “Stepping. Chicago style stepping.”

“Yes, and Kizomba. They brought instructors.” He pretended to dance with an imaginary Ellena. “They took over the whole wedding. My family lost their entire minds. I love it!”

She laughed at his entertaining attempt to get the moves it would take him more than a night to master.

“And what is the name of that song they played for us again?”

“The Makings of You,” she replied.

The love song was the same one that her classmates had remixed for Kamran and Ellena to dance to during the class reunion dinner. Both versions—Gladys Knight and Curtis Mayfield—had been blended to lengthen the track as Kamran led Ellena in a slow dance. Only later did she find out that he had requested for Dolly, Damaris, Ronnie and David to teach him the movements. She was shocked and impressed. The joyful tears that pooled in her eyes were his reward.

“I think your family may have had more fun than they expected,” Ellena said. “Your sisters were all sourpusses before my family arrived. But when they came out there to learn the dances … did you see them?”

“I saw them,” Kamran said, laughing. “Your family, they were fierce. Most impressive to have the world-renowned Khalil Germaine stand in as your father. He even brought a signed certificate of your claim of belonging to the Germaine-Maharaj family. Woman, you have been holding out on me.”

She gasped and held up her hand. “I promise you, I didn’t—”

“I know, my love,” he said, kissing the tip of her nose. “Alejandro explained some of what would happen. Actually, only a small amount. He asked me to find a seamstress to sew the crest onto each garment—and the colors and sizes, but the image they presented—how do you say it—badass.”

Ellena grinned. “What do you know about that?”

“Well, I consider myself a little bit of a badass,” he replied, popping an imaginary collar.

“That you are, Kamran Ali Khan.”

They shared a kiss and when he pulled away, he told her, “And just so you know, I think Dolly and Rashid might be the next ones down the aisle.”

“Seriously?”

“Yes. And we will be seeing more of your brothers.”

“How so?” she asked, making her way to the bathroom.

“Each one of the Kings, Knights, and a few of the Queens put in applications to open a business here.
