The Billionaire Wins the Game(37)

To all those witnessing the wedding that afternoon, the marriage looked like a union     of love, which was going to last forever. The way each of them looked at one another could only be described as besotted.

They walked down the aisle as Joseph led the vast group of people to the backyard. Amy was once again in awe of the Anderson family. She couldn’t believe they’d planned the wedding in less than a week.

The yard had glamorous tents set up, with linen covered tables filling them. There was soft lighting, a dance floor and an entire band playing music. Caterers carried around trays of champagne and food, attending to the guests.

On each table sat crystal, china and the most beautiful flower arrangements she could’ve ever wished for. She decided to enjoy the day that was all about her. She would imagine it was a real wedding, with a loving groom at her side.

Lucas had wanted all the silly little traditional things. He didn’t even know why. God knew it wasn’t a traditional wedding. Amy probably thought it more appropriate to have guards with guns ushering her from station to station.

He was surprised to see she seemed to be enjoying herself. She wasn’t gloating or acting like she’d won a game. She appeared to be in slight awe and genuinely happy. His bride was full of surprises or she was one phenomenal actress.

“You know you’re absolutely stunning tonight,” Tom said to her when he finally managed to get a moment with her. She threw her arms around him grateful her best friend was there in a sea of strangers.

“Thank you for being here Tom. This is all so overwhelming,” she told him with a sniffle.

“Just don’t forget about me now that you’re married and prego,” he said with a teasing smile.

She could see the insecurity underneath the teasing though.

“I haven’t had any true friends my entire life. You’re the first one and I promise you you’ll always be the first person I call when I need a shoulder to cry on. You know that you can also call me anytime. We will always be best friends,” she said. She gave him one more hug before she was called over to cut the cake.

Lucas and her cut the cake and fed each other. They toasted their union     and they shared dances with family members. Lucas was surprised a little by the intense jealousy he felt as each of his brothers pulled Amy far too close for a married woman and whisked her around the dance floor.

When she was dancing with Alex she let out a delighted laugh at something he said. Lucas walked away from his partner without a word and reclaimed his bride. His brother laughed harder and kissed Amy on the cheek before releasing her to her husband.

“What were the two of you laughing about?” he questioned her with jealousy, as he spun her around the dance floor.

“He told me if I came to my senses I could call him and he would whisk me away from his boring older brother,” she said smiling, still in delight, from his brother.

“You’re mine and only mine and the only one that will be whisking you anywhere will be me from now on,” he stated and pulled her into his arms even tighter so she would have room for only him in her mind.

He kissed her until he couldn’t stand anymore and then decided they’d spent enough time with people. It was far past time to start the honeymoon portion of the wedding.

“It’s time to go. Let’s say goodnight to my parents and run away from here,” he spoke as he took her hand and led her in the direction of his mom and dad. Amy became incredibly scared as he led her towards his parents. This was it. They were going to be alone very soon and she was terrified. She didn’t know how to act as a married woman.


She wasn’t worried about sex. They definitely had chemistry together, but she was worried about the before and after sex. Did she kiss him if she felt like it? Did she take his hand in hers? Did she tell him when the baby was kicking so they could share it? Were those things too intimate?

In a regular marriage you didn’t need to ask those kinds of questions, but this wasn’t a regular marriage and she didn’t know what was expected of her. It was terrifying.

“Mom, dad, thank you so much for the wedding. I know that I didn’t give you enough time and you made it beautiful anyway. We’re leaving now,” he said as he hugged both of his parents.

“Thank you both so much. You’re truly amazing parents. I’m very glad to be a part of your family,” Amy added shyly.

“My dear, we’re the ones grateful to have you in our lives. Now we finally have the daughter we weren’t blessed with,” Joseph said, grabbing her up in a hug and then passing her over to his wife.

“You two have a wonderful honeymoon and we’ll get together for lunch next week. Now that the wedding is over it’s time to prepare for our first grandchild,” Katherine added while hugging her.

Amy was so overcome by her amazing in-laws she didn’t know what else to say. Her child would be loved beyond compare and spoiled beyond measure. The love certainly outweighed everything else about the unusual union    .

“Give us a few minutes to run upstairs and get Amy changed for your departure,” Katherine said, while taking her into the house. Lucas looked as if he wasn’t going to let her go for a minute, until Joseph laughed and then pulled him aside.

“She’ll be right back son.” Amy really loved that laughter. She quickly walked up the stairs with Katherine. She was nervous as they entered the bedroom and she saw the beautiful outfit Katherine had purchased for her.
