Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 680 Wedding Bells on Heaven Island

The entire island of Heaven had a natural air of simplicity and warmth. This was Heaven Island. It wasn’t quite what they’d imagined. Far from being the mysterious, ominous place described in outside rumors, the island was full of life, brimming with human presence and the rhythms of daily living. Just walking its roads brought an inexplicable sense of peace. No wonder—no wonder Arthur had insisted on bringing Ashley and Taylor here to recover. The landscape was beautiful, the atmosphere quiet and healing. When they finally arrived at the Heaven Island Palace, everyone was left speechless by the sight before them. On this secluded island, cut off from the rest of the world, they’d managed to construct such an enormous palace? Yes—what stood before them could only be described as a palace! Not only was the palace massive, but its interior was filled with luxury at every turn. The architecture bore some resemblance to that of Lioran, but the unique, thoughtful designs gave the entire place a refreshing and elegant charm. Benjamin had already arranged separate residences for everyone: one courtyard for the Gibson family, one for the Suttons, one for the Lovaris family, and even a private courtyard just for Hugo. He was clearly prepared for everyone to stay long-term. There was still about a month and a half before the wedding, and Benjamin had already dispatched people to gather all the necessary materials. After all, this was the wedding of his only grandson Arthur and Ashley—he was determined to make it the most grand and glorious wedding Heaven Island had ever seen! This wasn’t just a wedding feast. It was also Benjamin’s official opportunity to introduce Arthur to the upper circle of Heaven’s Cult. Eventually, Heaven’s Cult would be Arthur’s to inherit. Based on Wind’s ongoing reports, Benjamin was becoming confident that Arthur wouldn’t need long to grow into the role—he was already well on his way.The members of Heaven’s Cult hadn’t gathered in full like this in a very long time. It was time. This wedding was destined to be a grand and unforgettable spectacle. While everyone was busy preparing for the big day, a bored Nina found herself gravitating toward Taylor. Taylor, of course, still lay motionless in his bed. Nina gave him a nickname: Sleeping Prince. Taylor was a good-looking guy to begin with—at nineteen, he was in the prime of his youth. Lying there quietly, he really did look like a Sleeping Prince straight out of a fairytale. When Arthur and Ashley heard what Nina had named him, they laughed so hard they nearly cried. Unfortunately, Taylor wasn’t able to hear any of it. But when he finally woke up, they were absolutely going to tease him about it. Just imagining Taylor’s face going red as a tomato made them crack up all over again. To Nina, he just seemed like someone who would be fun to hang out with. Sometimes Nina would randomly fall asleep too, so she figured she and Taylor must be destined to be best friends. She even volunteered to take care of Taylor, spending time every day in the courtyard where he stayed. Toby and Tricia were clearly fond of this cheerful, innocent little girl. They welcomed her enthusiasm without hesitation. Day by day, the wedding drew closer. And just like that, the big day arrived. Though they’d all been busy, everyone managed to find joy in the process. There was a quiet sense of contentment in the air. At the first light of dawn, the island came alive with the sounds of drums and celebration. Nina arrived early to rouse Ashley, dragging her straight into the bridal suite where the makeup team was already waiting.Still blinking sleepily, Ashley let the expert stylists move around her, prepping her for the ceremony. They were holding a foreign-style wedding. The red wedding attire had been specially tailored a month and a half ago. Benjamin had hired a top designer for the job. And that designer was none other than Ivan! Ivan had made many outfits for Ashley before—he knew her measurements inside and out. And every garment he created was guaranteed to be stunning. When Arthur and Ashley saw that it was Ivan, they were completely reassured. Ivan was one of the most elite designers in Lioran. That Benjamin had managed to bring him here made perfect sense. Ashley was beautiful to begin with, and her figure was impeccable. Dressed in the crimson wedding gown designed by Ivan, even without makeup, she was breathtaking. Her natural beauty was already impressive. When the makeup team saw her in the gown, they were genuinely floored. They couldn’t help but shower her with praise. Ashley, ever shy, blushed bright pink under the compliments. Her face glowed like a blooming peach blossom, charming and captivating. The stylists were true professionals. With Ashley’s stunning features, she didn’t need a heavy hand. Just a light touch of powder and a soft blush was enough to make her look radiant.
