Chapter 263 A Dream Proposal
Aria was stunned, looking around as the realization hit her-
only she was under the spotlight. She stood there, frozen, shocked, unsure of what was happening. Before she could process it, another spotlight shifted, landing on a far corner. Her already confused eyes widened with more curiosity as she saw her husband, Alessandro, With his usual charming smile, he began to walk toward her and the spotlight followed him, while Aria furrowed her brows in growing confusion. What was going on? she wondered. It was supposed to be Emily's special day-she should be the one in the spotlight, right? Aria's gaze remained fixed on Alessandro as he closed the distance between them, finally stopping just before her. The entire hall was silent, every pair of eyes focused on them with a mixture of intense curiosity and anticipation.
"What's going on, Alessandro?" Aria asked, frowning and whispering, her voice tinged with confusion.
But Alessandro only let out a sharp breath, as if preparing himself for something.
"Amore mio, did I ever tell you how much you mean to me?" he asked, his eyes and voice both brimming with love, the mix of emotions flooding inside him.
Aria smiled, nodding. "Yes, every day. In fact, today, you've told me this... about..." She looked up, trying to recall, before adding, "Four times since this morning." Alessandro chuckled, shaking his head.
"But that's still not enough, cuore mio. Because you don't even know what you are to me... more than anyone could ever realize," he said, stepping closer to her. He took both of her hands in his and gazed deeply into her eyes, his voice full of earnest devotion. "I lived my His eyes darkened as he remembered his troubled childhood, and Aria noticed his jaw clenched, his gaze becoming distant.
Swiftly, she reacted, moving closer to him, brushing her body against his while squeezing his hands slightly to draw him back to her. He smiled, offering her reassurance.
"But then you came into my life," he continued, his voice softening, "and gave me what I always wanted... true love and a lovely family. You made me believe in marriage again, in the possibility of a happily ever after. You are my light, my angel. I am never going to let you go," he promised.
Then, to Aria's surprise, he dropped to one knee before her. A gasp left her lips.
Oh God, was it really happening? She had always dreamed about this moment as a young girl, but never thought it would become a reality for her.
Alessandro released one of her hands to free his own so he could pull out a velvet box from the pocket of his tuxedo jacket. Aria's heartbeat quickened as she realized what was happening.
Alessandro seemed nervous as he opened the velvet box, his throat bobbing as he licked his dry lips before asking, "Aria Valentino, will you marry me... again and make me the happiest man alive... once more?"

"Yes, Alessandro Valentino. I will marry you again, and again, and again..." she began, her voice trembling with excitement, but
Alessandro couldn't let her spearet
anymore. He had already slipped the ring onto her finger and pulled her
into his arms, kissing her deeply to
silence her emotional words.
A tear slipped from Aria's eye as she smiled through their kiss. Alessandro broke their kiss and, holding her hand, led her to the altar. Now, it all made sense.
"So that's why I was forced to wear this wedding gown, she mused, still in a daze.
"I wanted to give you the best proposal and the best wedding, vita mia," Alessandro said, pressing a soft kiss to the back of her hand as they continued heading toward the altar.
"You did a good job, hubby," Aria giggled, genuinely happy. She glanced at her brother and mother, who grinned at her. Her mother wiped her smiling eyes as her happiness reflected in the glimmer of her tears. Aria then turned to see Emily and Matteo, who had cleared the stage for them and were smiling, winking at the couple.
Gia and Maximo cheered, "Mom! Dad!"
Aria blushed, realizing they all knew about the surprise and had done a great job keeping it a secret.
Her eyes gleaming with joy shifted around the crowd, who were cheering and shouting, their voices filled with happiness for them. But then, she caught a glimpse of Adam rushing somewhere, his face tense and his expression suggesting something was wrong. Aria tried to crane her neck to see where he was headed, but before she could, they reached the altar, and Alessandro gently urged her forward.
Alessandro looked at her, furrowing his brow slightly, noticing her distracted expression. He seemed to silently ask what was bothering her, but Aria shook her head, offering him a reassuring smile. She knew how Alessandro felt about Adam, and mentioning her concern for him would only make him jealous, which would spoil the moment. It was
better to keep it to herself.
Once they were on the stage, Aria tried to spot Adam again, but he was nowhere to be found. A sense of confusion and worry crept over her, but she pushed it aside, focusing on the ceremony at hand.
