Daryn held her hand and they walked out of the meeting room.

"The meeting is over now, Mrs. Wyatt,

" said Daniel Hughes.

"If you wish to continue to file a case against my editorial, you may. I can't stop you. And in that case my lawyer is going to continue this conversation.

" Daniel picked up his phone and went out.

The lawyer looked at Lily and raised his eyebrows in question. Wyatt's lawyer said,

"We will talk about these later.

"

Daniel's lawyer nodded and he too went out of the office.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief. He growled,

"That 'marrying Cecilia' was the most useless thing you guys could come up with! This is not a way you deal with a man like Daryn Silver.

"

Lily looked at him and then stormed out of the room. When she was sitting with Helena and Jason in the car, she said,

"I don't know anything Helena. You have to eradicate Dawn. I want her dead. I want her body mutilated. I want her head rolled down, served in a tray.

" She bared her teeth and added,

"Then I am going to parcel those amputated parts to Daryn Silver!

"

"But you do know that all the assassins that we had hired last time were killed by his men?

" she grunted.

"If this happens again, Daryn is not going to leave any of us. He will make sure that all of us die.

"

Jason agreed.

"Yes, just let him be. Stop thinking about Dawn!

"

"Shut up!

" Lily's nostrils flared.

"That little cunt is slowly attacking my business and you want me to stay quiet. That good-for-nothing David couldn't do a thing to save the scandals surrounding Starfish Enterprise, and you want me to stay quiet. I will not be a mute spectator to this. I am going to take action and the only best thing that can stop all the problems is killing her. With her gone, Daryn will not have any interest in our business.

"

Helena looked at Jason and he nodded. He knew that by killing Dawn, Daryn would wither away as her mate. He would be in no position to retaliate. An evil smile came on his lips. That way both he and Helena are going to continue being at the Wyatt's for their life.

"Not a bad idea,

" he said.

Lily sat quietly in the car. 'Count your days Dawn' she thought. 'You thought I am going to take this insult so easily?' She scoffed.

The week went by in a whirlwind. There were preparations that had to be done that Gayle busied himself. He so wished that Sedora was there, but he didn't call her on purpose. He was fed up of her dark activities that she carried out in the Amazon Jungles. He had given up on her long time back.

The wedding day arrived.

Dawn was unusually giggly that day because she had downed three glasses of wine. There was so much tension. She couldn't believe that she was getting married to Daryn all over again. Even though she had told him that she would love to get married to him over and over again, when the actual ceremony came in front of the crowd, her anxiety increased.

Caleb and Pia had chosen not to attend on the pretext that they were heavily burdened with work and Sedora wasn't invited.

Seeing how nervous she was Daryn said,

"Darling, you are just being anxious unnecessarily.

"

She rolled her eyes,

"Well, yes! A woman doesn't get married like this again and again! This is a normal human wedding. With so many guests!

" Half of Bainsburgh was invited. Many politicians, bureaucrats, prominent businessmen and Hollywood actors and actresses were supposed to come. And all of them were looking forward to the wedding of the year. No one wanted to miss it. It was also covered in the media.

He offered her his glass of wine while the staff was helping her wear the wedding down.

"Drink this, you will feel good!

"

"You are trying to make your wife go tipsy? This will have bad consequences,

" she said with a wink and gulped it in one go.

"Then I want those bad consequences. I am so going to wait for that,

" he replied, refilling her glass with a sexy smile and her insides clenched.

She drained down that glass too.

As he refilled her for the third time, he noticed that her cheeks had become pink.

"What gift are you planning to give me?

" he asked, brushing her cheek with his knuckle. He loved the pink color.

She looked at him with wide eyes and said,

"Have you written your vows?

"

"They are going to be the same as the Rede'vota, darling,

" he said.

She pursed her lips.

"I haven't thought of your gift,

" she said absent-mindedly.

He frowned.

"That's not done.

"

"I was so busy the whole week Daryn,

" she whined.

"Now off you go. I have to finish dressing up!

" She pushed him out of the door.

"But I want to be with my wife,

" he protested.

"After we get married,

" she replied, shutting the door on his face.

"Wife!�� Daryn shouted but to no avail. With a fallen face he went to the venue.

'Why are you getting married again?' asked Quetz through their mental link.

'Have to,' she replied. 'Human world.'

'Gah! Okay come here after marriage.'

'No, we are going on our honeymoon.'

'Ew!' Quetz screeched with disgust and flew away.

When Dawn was dressed up, she looked like a lovely Roman bride about to be married to the Greek God. Her gown was tulle, chiffon and gossamer. The neckline was plunging to show her plump breasts. The skirt floated around her as though she was a white swan. Her hair was tied in a low bun and entwined with white pearls. She wore all the jewelry that she bought from her father's shop. She picked up the dress train and walked out of the room.

The garden was decked up in beautiful silk ribbons and lanterns. More than five hundred chairs were placed in multiple circles around tables, which were complete with flower vases and food items.

As Dawn walked she peered at the place where Daryn and Gayle were standing. It was a canopy made from white flowing silk material woven with white rice pearls. A circle of important dignitaries surrounded him.

Dawn's mouth became dry seeing so many people. All their eyes went to her.

"Madam, please leave your dress train,

" said the staff who was walking with her. As soon as she left it, the staff fluffed it and then gave her a bouquet of white flowers.

"Don't be nervous Madam,

" she encouraged her. As Dawn walked towards Daryn, the fabric rustled behind her.

Cole came to her and said,

"Sister, you are looking so beautiful!

"

She chuckled,

"Thanks Cole!

"

Everyone became quiet and soft music started playing in the background.

Cole presented his arm to her to hold them. He was feeling very proud. In a low voice he said,

"Had Father been here, he would have taken you up there, but I am feeling honored to take his place.

"

Dawn's eyes were filled with tears. She squeezed his arm and said,

"I am proud you Cole.

"

That night during their dinner together, he had come clean with her about his sexual orientation. She had asked him to focus on his studies and think about it later on. His sixteenth birthday was coming soon.

Jason was on the phone.

"Azura? Lily Wyatt needs a favor.
