Chapter Eleven

Finn

As I’m leaving Félix and Madelaine’s wedding, I’m pissed my brother would have the audacity to show up today. As a matter of fact, today, of all days and threaten Olivia? Seriously?! Then that fuckin’ bodyguard, Mason. The piece of shit allowed this to happen. Where was he when he was supposed to be guarding her? He can be all up Olivia’s ass when I’m around, but the moment she needs him most, he’s missing. Even now, my hands shake from the vicious rage pumping through my body. I crack my neck from side to side and my nostrils flare, thinking about what I’ll do when I get my hands on him. I’ll string him up by his small ass pecker and beat the hell out of him.

Félix agreed Casen will be her bodyguard from now on, but it’s not like it matters. Fuck, even if he tried to stop me, I’d just do it anyway. Olivia is going to be my wife, it’s my job to make sure she’s safe. Sure, it’s her brother’s, too, but I won’t let anyone hurt a hair on her pretty little head. As one of my most trusted men, I know I can count on him to keep her safe at all costs.

The wedding didn’t go how Olivia wanted as far as where she was supposed to be, but Madelaine understood. Félix took some time to explain what happened downstairs, and Madelaine even offered to postpone the wedding for Olivia. It shows how much the girls care for one another.

Olivia sat in the pew with me instead of being up with the rest of the bridal party. Honestly, it made me feel better she was right by my side. I had an arm draped around her shoulders and kept her close, making sure she knows how important she is to me.

God, Ashton tried to hurt her, and I was only right down the hall when it happened. How did this happen? How did something unimaginable get so close to happening? She must’ve opened the wrong door, or not opened the door we were behind. It was something so minuscule, but it was a grave reality check for us all. It further solidifies the fact there are always people around who wish us harm.

The ceremony was simple and wrapped up quickly. Félix and Madelaine looked amazing up there, with the weeping willow trees offering the perfect background. Even the pews we’re sitting in are the perfect deep chestnut color, looking like the bark only a few hundred feet in front of us. Hell, it looked like her dress was a mixture of lace, tie-dye, and tradition. I shouldn’t have expected anything else from a tatted-up, open-minded woman like Madelaine. The minister smiled joyfully and introduced Félix and Madelaine as man and wife, and now we’re all following the bride and groom.

I give Olivia a squeeze and press a kiss to the top of her head. I’m sure she feels horrible about not standing up there with Madelaine, but after what she went through before the ceremony, no one can blame her.
