Chapter 9 - The Queen of the Gallo Empire (Happy Ending)
One year later.
The sun shone brightly over the grand coastal estate of the Gallo family in the Hamptons.
The grand oceanfront terrace was decorated with thousands of white roses, delicate lace, and glowing lanterns over the crystal water.
It was the day of the wedding.
In the grand suite overlooking the ocean, Nancy stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror. She wore a breathtaking custom lace wedding gown with a sweeping train, a delicate diamond tiara resting atop her styled dark hair.
Sitting in a comfortable armchair beside her was her mother, Eleanor. Eleanor wore a beautiful rose-gold dress, looking healthy, radiant, and fully lucid thanks to the groundbreaking treatments at the Penelope Center.
“You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen, my sweet girl,” Eleanor said tearfully, holding Nancy’s hand.
“Thank you, Mom,” Nancy whispered, weeping tears of pure happiness. “I love you so much.”
A soft knock sounded at the door.
D’Angelo walked into the suite, looking impossibly handsome in a crisp black tuxedo.
When he saw Nancy in her wedding dress, the powerful, legendary CEO stopped dead in his tracks. His dark eyes softened completely, filled with a love so deep it defied words.
He walked over slowly, taking her hands in his, kissing her knuckles gently.
“You take my breath away, my Queen,” D’Angelo whispered softly.
“And you are late for our ceremony, Mr. Gallo,” Nancy teased playfully, her dark eyes sparkling with happiness.
D’Angelo chuckled softly, pulling her close against his chest, resting his forehead against hers.
“Let them wait,” D’Angelo murmured, his hands gently holding her waist. “I spent my whole life waiting to find you, Nancy. I’m not in any rush now.”
Hand in hand, D’Angelo and Nancy walked out onto the sunlit terrace overlooking the roaring ocean waves.
Before their family, their friends, Marco, and a healthy Eleanor, D’Angelo Gallo and Nancy Penelope exchanged vows of eternal love, loyalty, and partnership.
As the minister declared them husband and wife, D’Angelo pulled his Queen into his arms, kissing her deeply as white rose petals rained down from the sky.
The poor maid who had entered a forbidden study to clean a floor vent had uncovered a conspiracy, saved a Don, and conquered his heart.
