The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

“Well, he’s not that accomplished. I’d be satisfied as long as he prepared a proper

wedding ceremony.”

Willow continued to doubt Caspian.

Even though Caspian kept promising he would give her a grand and lavish wedding, so

much time had

passed, and she did not see him preparing anything for the wedding.

“Have you chosen all your bridesmaids yet?” Miranda asked.

“Only one-Zoey, my best friend,” Willow said.

“As the famed beauty of Southlake City, how could only have one bridesmaid? Why don’t

you count me in?

“Miranda suggested.

“What? Do you want to be my bridesmaid, Ms. Barton?” Willow was taken aback.

“That’s right. Would you give me the honor of allowing me to be your bridesmaid?”

Miranda asked.

“What are you saying, Ms. Barton? You’re the vice president of Southlake Corporation. I’m

sure you have a

lot on your plate, Would you have the time to be my bridesmaid?” Willow said.

“Why not? It’s on Sunday. If I attend as your bridesmaid, I’m sure I’ll get some of your

good luck, too.

Maybe someone will take a liking to me,” Miranda replied.

“I’d never have thought you’d want to be my bridesmaid, Ms. Barton,” Willow said.

“Well, that’s settled, then. Why don’t you ask your friend to come over? We can go and

check out wedding

dresses today,” Miranda suggested.

“It’s still working hours right now,” Willow said.

“I’ll give you the day off. Your wedding is more important. You should take the time to

prepare for it. You

don’t have to come to work tomorrow. Also, the company will pay for your wedding gown.

Consider it a

wedding gift from the company,” Miranda said.

“That’s too kind of you, Ms. Barton.” Willow was startled.

“Well, you’re the company’s project director now.” Miranda knew that Caspian had been

hiding his identity

to give Willow a surprise, so she did not reveal the truth.

Stunned, Willow did not think it was right for her to decline Miranda’s offer. Thus, she and

Miranda went

over to meet up with Zoey before going dress shopping.

Zoey was also shocked to hear that the vice president of Southlake Corporation would not

only be

Willow’s bridesmaid but was also paying for her wedding dress.

Miranda brought Willow and Zoey to Southlake City’s most luxurious bridal shop.

They bought the most expensive and extravagant wedding gown as well as two

bridesmaid dresses.

When Willow got home that night, she found that Caspian had already made dinner.

“The wedding’s happening the day after tomorrow. I’ve already booked my wedding gown.

How are the preparations coming along?” Willow asked.

“Everything’s going according to plan. In two days, you’ll be the world’s happiest bride,”

Caspian firmly

declared.

“Alright. I’ll see just how grand the wedding will be. If you trick me, there’ll be hell to pay!”

Willow warned.

“If I did lie to you, feel free to punish me however you want,” Caspian said with a chuckle.

“I was quite surprised today. The vice president of Southlake Corporation treats me so

well. She even paid for the wedding gown and said she would be my bridesmaid. I just

hope nothing goes awry on that

day,” Willow said.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make all the necessary arrangements.” Caspian was also looking forward

to the wedding.

On that day, he was going to see to it that Willow was the world’s luckiest and most

blessed bride!

Late at night Caspian was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing

Even though it was late, Sylvia was calling

“What’s going on? Why are you calling at this hour? Caspian asked

Bad news, Lord Caspian. The situation on the battlefield has become unpredictable. Tigra’s

army on the

outhern border has crossed the border to launch a sneak attack on our forces!” Sylvia

frantically

reported

Caspian was taken aback. It was his wedding in two days, but the enemy troops had

conducted a covert

assault at this juncture!

“Send someone over to pick me up. I’ll head back in person to oversee the battle!”

This was no small matter. Caspian did not hesitate at all.

Initially, he wanted to have a peaceful life in Southlake City and deal with everything else

after the

wedding. Alas, a wrench had been thrown into his plan.

With his soldiers risking their lives on the front lines of the battlefield, he could not focus

on his own

enjoyment.

His country came before his family!

He could not delay dealing with the battle along the border any further!

Thankfully, the southern border was fairly near to Southlake City. He could rush over

tonight to supervise

the battle.

Over the next two days, the battle was going to be extremely challenging. He could not

afford to be

careless.

“Yes, Lord Caspian!” Sylvia replied.

After ending the call, Caspian got dressed and knocked on Willow’s door.

Willow had been fast asleep when the sound woke her up.

“It’s so late. What is it?” Willow was afraid that Caspian would try to force her into

something so she did

not open the door right away.

“I have something to tell you, Willow. Please open the door,” Caspian requested.

Thinking that Caspian would not attempt anything untoward, Willow opened the door.

“What is it that you had to tell me in the middle of the night?” Willow sounded a little

annoyed.

“Something extremely urgent has come up. I need to leave for a couple of days. On the

day after tomorrow, go straight to Stewart Residence and wait for me there. I will

definitely hold a lavish wedding ceremony for you,” Caspian said.
