"I won't be coming to Mor Co. for a while." Cedric began. "I studied the trends and movements within Reyes Group and something feels suspicious. I'll be moving there as an ordinary employee to figure out what is going on." 

"Sir, what will happen to Mor Co.?" Ian asked.

​​

"You and Camilla will run it in my absence." Cedric instructed. "I will have to take away your Saturdays from you. I want both of you to report to me every saturday what is happening in Mor Co. If there is anything you can't handle, call me or ask me." 

"Nicole will hate this." Ian quietly sighed.

"She can come over while we work. Miguel and Veronica are staying at the guest house anyway. Just please don't stay the night." Cedric said, catching Ian's comment.

Camilla laughed at Ian again. 

"Camilla, if you have any special requests, just say it." Cedric told Camilla.

"I don't have a life like Ian." Camilla joked.

The next day when Cedric woke up Adrianna was no longer by his side. He assumed that she had gone to the guest house to help Veronica.

"Cedric! Wake up!" Miguel shouted from the other side of the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Cedric sleepisly said.

Cedric opened the door and the boys came in.

"I never said you could use my room!" Cedric scolded.

"Then where should we go?" Miguel asked.

Cedric stopped for a bit to think until he finally gave in. There wasn't exactly any other place ready that they could use.

"What time did the girls start preparing?" Cedric yawned.

"5am. I got kicked out and had to sleep in your office." Miguel complained.

"It was so funny, when we arrived Nicole was so mad at Miguel for not getting ready." Eric told Cedric. 

"I told Nicole that I can get ready in five minutes." Miguel proudly said.

"I'm assuming the girls didn't take it that well." Cedric said with a laugh.

"Why do you think we're here! Nicole chased us up here and told us to wake you up." Miguel complained.

"I can't wait for Ian to take my sister away." Eric joked.

It took the boys more than five minutes to get dressed and ready. Miguel wore a blue suit, while the others were in matching black suits. Miguel and Veronica didn't tell their parents about the wedding so their guests were just the Reyes siblings, the Chan siblings, the Sebastian siblings, Ram, Ray, Ian, Maureen and Cedric's and Adrianna's parents.

The boys left for the Church first, the girls followed in two separate cars, with Veronica in Cedric's brand new white Rolls Royce Ghost as the bridal car. 

When the girls arrived they looked around in awe at how peaceful the monastery was. It was quiet and the only sounds you could hear were nature and the monk's singing. 

"Wow, this place is beautiful. Who chose it?" Nicole asked as they got out of the car.

"Cedric did." Ram was the only boy left waiting for them when they arrived. All of the others had gone to the chapel. The only reason Ram was left behind was because he was going to walk the bride down the aisle. 

"I never knew such a peaceful place existed." Natalia said as they took a look around.

"Well girls, it's time. Follow that path, it leads straight to the chapel." Ram said, pointing at a cobblestone path with flower arches. The girls nodded and walked to the chapel.

Ram opened the door and helped his sister out.

Even if the wedding was quite short notice, Veronica had contacted Maureen to ask if she had something that would be suitable as a wedding gown. Maureen had actually designed a wedding gown that would fit Veronica.

Veronica came out of the car in a white A-line dress with an empire waist and and off shoulder neckline.

"Wow, you don't look too short." Ram teased his sister.

Veronica rolled her eyes and smiled.

"I have no idea how it is possible that you are so tall and I am so short, was I adopted or something." Veronica said with a laugh.

Ram just smiled and offered his arm for her to hold.

"How mad do you think our parents will be?" Veronica asked her brother as they slowly walked to the chapel.

"Furious. Your wedding was an event they could sell. We took that away from them." Ram told his sister.

"I guess it's a good thing that I won't be living anywhere near them." Veronica said with a sigh.

"Only Cedric isn't too happy about it." Ram teased. "The articles are ready as well. I just need to send whatever photos we get from today for the media to release." 

The siblings had planned to make a lot of noise about Miguel and Veronica getting married ahead of schedule. Veronica wanted to tell her parents that they couldn't control every aspect of her life, she was her own woman and this was her life.

When the pair reached the chapel door, Nicole who was the maid of honor was waiting.

"Are you ready?" Ram asked.

Veronica nodded nervously.

Nicole giggled and pushed the chapel doors open and walked in ahead of the brother and sister.

The whole chapel was filled with light, it was small but had a high ceiling and there were marvelous paintings and sculptures everywhere.

As Veronica walked to the altar she looked up and saw Miguel, he was shining in the morning light which emphasized his handsome features. 

The altar was two steps higher than the ground and as Veronica climbed she noticed that where there should be a wall there was a large window with a view of the forests and farms behind the mountain.

Ram gently handed her over to Miguel.

"I think this is so archaic, no man has any right to hand over a woman to another man. We both know my sister has always been her own woman." Ram said with a smile.

Miguel smiled back and said, "No woman can compare to my V."

Veronica blushed. She wanted to scold Miguel that she wasn't his but no words came out of her mouth. She heard Ram stifle a laugh behind her as he left to take his seat.
