As the wedding reception unfolded, it became increasingly evident that the true center of attention wasn't the bride and groom, but rather Evander and Delphinia.
Wherever they walked, eyes followed. Guests whispered behind the champagne glasses, murmuring about the unexpected revelation of their marriage. Delphinia, poised and radiant, stood beside Evander with effortless grace, her arm gently looped around his. She wore a floor-length gown of midnight blue, shimmering under the golden glow of the chandeliers, while Evander, in his tailored black suit, exuded an effortless authority that made it impossible to look away.
They moved through the crowd like royalty, pausing to exchange pleasantries with acquaintances. Every now and then, someone would pull Evander aside, eyes wide with curiosity.
"I had no idea you were married, Evander," one older businessman remarked, his voice laced with surprise.
