The Big J ranch was busy big time with preparations for the upcoming wedding. Nelly organized and directed the staff. Anyone found in her path with nothing to do got assigned the task immediately. The house was aired, scrubbed and cleaned, and the tables got adored with the best tablecloths.

Austin sent five of his trusted men to guard Olivia on her travel and was happy to know they arrived at Kenth safely. Until the wedding together with Wilma they stayed at Mrs. Helms. It was the tradition they followed. Olivia's dress was made by the best seamstress in Elms and arrived two days ago.

A few days before the wedding all the preparations were done and everything got just about ready when Thimken's arrived at Kenth. This time they had to stay at the Ewans's ranch. Victoria came along with her parents despite claiming not want to attend the ceremony. She couldn't get over the fact that Austin soon will be married to someone else.

She got busy spreading gossip about Olivia any chance she got. The general store was the ideal place for it. She lied to the judge's daughter Rowena. Being too involved in creating the ugly comment Victoria didn't notice Austin, who stood right behind her. When she finally saw Rowena's open mouth and stare it was too late, the last words were already out of her mouth.

"I can't understand Austin! Can you? How can he marry such a loose moral girl from lower classes? I'm surprised Jade's accepted her this easy. Well, if I can help it, this wedding won't take place." 

Austin coughed to make his presents know before he spoke in a quiet voice that suggested big time anger, " Victoria! I would remind you to mind your manners! Young lady one more time and you will be asked to leave town." Victoria's face got beet red, and she swallowed, but in her anger didn't see the undertone and that he meant it. She gave him an arrogant look, picked Rowena under arm and walked out of the store into the Main Street.

Two young girls walked towards the judge's house when they spotted Olivia. She came out of the cemetery. Victoria picked up a speed and dragged Rowena right behind her and didn't stop until she was right in front of Olivia. She hissed at her. 

"You think you won? You think I don't know you are not so innocent! You gave yourself to him for one thing only. He is marrying you only for your brat." Her face turned into an ugly shade of jealousy. 

Olivia couldn't believe it. She shook her head and continue her own way. She wasn't about to get involved in an argument with Victoria. She was never a good news no matter where and when she saw her. 

Rowena pulled Victoria toward her home. She didn't want to be involved in any way. It was not because of her concern for Olivia. Her mind got set on one of the Jade brothers. To upset a member of the Jade family wasn't the smart thing to do. She couldn't believe her friend didn't get that.

In Mrs. Helms house Olivia stood in front of the mirror dressed in her beautiful wedding gown. The lace was finest in the country and covered the entire train of the dress. It looked stunning on Olivia. Her natural curly hair spread down her back in its full glory. Wilma fixed her vail as she dabbed at her own eyes. Her granddaughters upcoming marriage made her happy. 

"Oh Liv, how beautiful you are. Just like your mother." Wilma couldn't stop her tears. 

"Grandma, don't cry. I always be there for you and Austin would never want you to be a stranger to us. You saved my life. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you. We will come to "Estate" and visit. You know how much I love it there. Thank you Grandma. I love you! ," 

Olivia remembered her dad and wished he was here on this day. She missed him, but she concentrated on her future. She had Grace and Wilma and now she was getting married to the man she loves. Each day she discovered more about him, his generous nature, his love for his family and his devotion to her and Grace.

The coach pulled by the Big J's four most beautiful horses arrived to pick them up and soon they headed down the road towards the church. Even the horses got decorated for the occasion and they looked magnificent. Austin insisted everything got to be glamorous on this day for Olivia. To make her happy, the stars from the sky weren't out of the question. He still couldn't believe how lucky he was that she forgive him. That she loves him was a miracle, he felt very blessed. The entire world was his. His daughter will be home soon too; the precious little version of her mother. Every time he would look at Olivia his heart would swell and he wanted to scream to let the world know she was his. When she smiled and her beautiful violet eyes focused on him with love in them he wished he could scoop her up and take her somewhere alone and far.

The Jade wedding was a big event in town size of Kenth. It was mentioned almost during every conversation. The day of the wedding ceremony Kenth's local church got decorated with beautiful flowers shipped from Elms. On the day of the event The guests were already seated inside early waiting patiently for the ceremony to start. Austin stood dressed in his three piece suit and looked impressive waiting for his bride to walk through the doors. 

When nobody showed up after a while he got suspicious and thought how she should've arrived by now. At the same time down the road the horses got spooked by the object thrown at them. They stall and jerked the coach and just about flipped it. Leo was fast to react and calm them down. He jumped down from his seat to settle them further. The piece of barbed wire that came flying at them laid right in the middle of the road. After the horses were under control, he checked on Olivia and Wilma. To his relief he found them to be a little pale, but other than that they were fine.

As soon as the news of the incident reached the church, the groom stormed out running down the street. Austin didn't lose a moment after he heard coach with Olivia in it almost got flipped over. Right behind him were his brothers. When they got closer, the coach was already on its way. Damian, Wes and Nolan had to talk to him and convince him to go back and wait for his bride. The brothers investigated, and it wasn't hard to came to a conclusion. Victoria wasn't where she should be. After they asked around, they found a young boy who saw a young lady that threw something at the horses.

After hearing what had happened and who was responsible Roy had to step to his duty. He asked Thimkens to leave. Once outside they witness Roy in its full anger, "You should be able to control your daughter. I'm very disappointed. I think it would be best if you wouldn't come around anymore. My daughter- in- law safety is very important to us and there are no second chances when it comes to that. We love that girl and our granddaughter. We are talking about Austin's soon to be wife. The Jades are pulling all the support to any of your future campaigns and we are pulling our money out of your development project."

At that Mr Thimken lost all of his colour. He counted on that money. His gambling emptied his purse, and he needed that investment to recover his finances. Mrs. Thimken and his daughter had no knowledge about it. They had no clue that even their home was at stake. Mr. Thimken tried again to reason with the head of the Jade family.

"Roy, would you think about that? We are longtime friends after all. Victoria, if she is behind this she will have to face the consequences."

"Like I said there is no second chances. It would be wise if you would leave town immediately."

Roy walked back into the church and looked at his oldest son standing at the altar. He knew he made the right decision. The Thimkens didn't have any choice but to oblige. They still left in hope Roy will change his mind about the money.

The local church was full and when Olivia entered, she could see Austin waiting for her. With " dearly beloved" minister announced the beginning of the wedding ceremony. After pastor blessed their union groom kissed his bride. 

Outside the church they received more congratulations from the crowd that gathered there and couldn't get inside. The coach drove them to the ranch. The groom beamed beside his bride. She was beautiful in her wedding dress. Finally she was his wife. It was the happiest moment in his life beside finding out about Grace. At the ranch reception started. Everything felt and looked grant, from music ,dancing to the food. 

At midnight Austin decided it was time to take his bride to their room and leave their guests to continue without them. 

He unbraided her hair while kissing her forehead, eyes and stopped to capture her lips in a gentle but passionate kiss. When her dress hit the floor, he groaned from pleasure from the touch of her soft body. It fit to his with perfection. When her hands circle his neck he picked her up and carry her to their large bed. Slowly he explored every curve stopping every time she made a moan. 

"I love you Mrs. Jade. My bride." The kisses became more passionate, and he took her to the highest and brightest stars. They were in each other's arms , drinking each other's presents. Their hearts were full of love for each other. The future waited for them to explore together.
