Lily's POV

My nerves were all over the place right, Adonis and I were about to leave for the Hamilton Charity Gala. Tonight Mum Pam was announcing her retirement and my new position. She had invited a lot of people associated with the Hamilton Cancer Reseach Foundation including my parents and brother.

No one knew Mrs Hamilton was retiring except the people who needed to know essentially the board of the foundation which were Mr and Mrs Hamilton, Adonis, Annaliese and a few other members like Mrs Tippet who was Adonis's grandmother's best friend. I had met the board and they gave me alot of support and were excited to work with me which made me feel better.

Besides the Charity, I had so much going on with the swimwear brand launch, wedding planning, needing to move to the new house and so much more.

I was looking in the mirror, trying to the give myself a pep talk to not be nervous but it was not working. I shut my eyes and I felt Adonis's arms slip around me and he kissed me on my neck. I sighed in relief and Adonis said, 'I know you're nervous and my mum is a lot of things but she would not choose you if you did not deserve it or if she didn't think you were not perfect for the job. '

I felt relief flow through my chest, Adonis knew exactly what to say to make me feel better. He pulled away and grabbed my hands, pulled me towards him and said, 'Besides I know you'll be great. I can't wait for you to fulfil one of your biggest goals and I promise I'll be your biggest supporter the whole way and if you get lost on your way I'll let you know.'

I smiled up at my fiance and thought this is the rest of my life and I couldn't be more excited. He is so supportive and loving and I cannot wait for our life together to start. I wanted us to get married soon but I wanted us to have an amazing wedding too. He put his hand on my face lightly and said, 'What are you thinking?'

I stepped closer to his body put my hands on his chest and said, 'Just how lucky I am, just how excited I am for our life together to begin.'

He gave me a peck on my lips and said, 'You have no idea, how excited I am. I would run off with you to Vegas so we get married soon.'
