NAOMI:
After our first kiss as a married couple, Ace and I stood there, enveloped in the warmth of our loved ones, with our friends and family surrounding us.

As we parted, I found myself locked into Ace's gaze, feeling an overwhelming rush of gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead of us.

Ace's smile illuminated the room as he took my hand, leading us down the aisle together.

Joy overflowed from our hearts as we greeted our guests, sharing hugs, laughter, and tears of happiness with each one of them.

The evening passed in a joyful blur of love and celebration. We danced together, basking in the love of our dear ones, our hearts beating in sync with the music.

Every moment felt surreal, like a dream coming true, and I knew deep in my soul that I was exactly where I was meant to be.

As the night waned, Ace and I stole a quiet moment alone. Wrapped in his arms, I felt a deep sense of peace, knowing we would face whatever challenges lay ahead hand in hand.

Under the starlit sky, I whispered a silent thank you to the universe for bringing Ace into my life. With him beside me, our love would only grow stronger each day, and together, we could overcome anything.

It was the night after our wedding, and we were setting off on our honeymoon. We drove to Ace's parents' house, grateful they offered to care for Amara and Kai.

Taking Kai from his car seat, I watched as Ace gently carried a sleeping Amara inside. His parents welcomed us warmly, unlocking the door and ushering us in. After exchanging pleasantries, we prepared to put Amara to bed. Ace tucked her in while I knelt beside her.

"Have fun, sweetheart," I whispered, planting a tender kiss on her forehead.

"I will," Amara murmured, already drifting off.

"I love you," I said softly.

"I love you too," Amara replied, her words barely audible.

With Amara settled, we bid farewell and made our way to Ace's private jet. Finding a comfortable spot beside Ace, excitement surged within me as we prepared for takeoff.

As the plane soared into the night sky, I felt a wave of excitement and relaxation wash over me.

This was the beginning of our honeymoon, a time to unwind and explore as newlyweds. Glancing at Ace, my heart swelled with happiness. Our journey was just beginning, and I was eager for the adventures ahead.

We arrived in the Maldives, our honeymoon destination. Excitement filled the air as we stepped into our luxurious villa. Unable to resist, we shared a passionate kiss.

Our lips locked, and without breaking the kiss, we moved toward the inviting bed. Playfully, I fell back onto the soft sheets, still wrapped in Ace's embrace. Laughter bubbled between us as Ace joined me, his weight settling beside me.

The room echoed with our laughter, blending with the gentle breeze from the open windows. It was a moment of pure happiness, the perfect start to our honeymoon.

Gazing into Ace's eyes, I brushed a strand of hair away, overwhelmed with affection. "I can't believe we're finally here," he murmured, his happiness evident.

Cupping his cheek, I whispered, "It's perfect, just like you."

We lay together, savoring the moment, the excitement of our wedding still fresh. Time seemed to stand still as we basked in the love and tranquility of our surroundings.

"I love you," Ace whispered, his voice tender.

"I love you too," I replied, my heart full.

Entwined in each other's arms, we embraced the promise of our future together. In that serene moment, I knew our love would continue to grow stronger with each passing day, and together, we could conquer anything.
