In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 345

The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of her suite. Keira sat at the vanity, watching in the mirror as Elena deftly wove white flowers into her upswept hair.

"Are you nervous?" Elena asked, securing another bloom with a pearl-tipped pin.

Keira's eyes met her reflection. "Oddly enough, no. After everything we've been through, walking down the aisle is the easy part."

She smoothed her hand over the delicate lace of her robe, thinking of the wedding gown hanging nearby. It had been a joint creation… Blair's top design team working with Wystovian royal dressmakers to create something that honored both traditions. Like everything in her life now, a perfect blend of who she was and who she was becoming. It amazed her every day the person she was now. How she and Alexei had grown together.

"Hard to believe it's been four months since Olivia was born," Keira mused. "I'm so glad we waited for Blair to recover before having the wedding."

Elena smiled, adding another flower to the intricate arrangement. "Princess Amelia asked me to tell you she'll be here soon. She wanted to feed Prince Nicholas first."

Keira's face softened at the mention of Amelia and Niko's son. "How is she doing today?" The baby hadn't been sleeping and Amelia wanted to handle it herself.

"Radiant," Elena replied. "Tired, of course, but so happy."

A knock at the door interrupted them. Before Elena could answer, it burst open, and Blair swept in, looking elegant in her silver bridesmaid's dress, Olivia nestled against her shoulder.

Blair grinned. "Keira Warner, I can't believe my baby sister is getting married in less than two hours!"

"I know, I know," Keira laughed, rising to greet her sister. "Let me see my gorgeous niece."

Blair carefully transferred Olivia to Keira's waiting arms. At four-month-old, the baby had grown remarkably, her dark hair thickening, and her eyes unmistakably Roman’s. She was already tracking movement with growing awareness.

"Hello, sweet girl," Keira cooed, kissing the baby's forehead. "Are you ready to see Auntie Keira get married?"

"She's been practicing her royal wave," Blair joked, demonstrating with Olivia's tiny hand. "It's very important when your auntie is marrying into royalty."

Keira rolled her eyes but couldn't stop smiling. The last few months had been a whirlwind of wedding preparations, commuting between New York and Wystovia, and endless protocol lessons so she didn't make a fool of herself. Alexei had told her it wasn't needed but she had wanted to. It made her feel better; the lessons included the history of Wystovia and Alexei's family.

"Where's Sutton?" Keira asked, gently bouncing Olivia.

"Wrangling Miles," Blair replied. "He's discovered the palace gardens and thinks the fountain is his personal swimming pool."

Another knock announced Sutton's arrival, Miles toddling beside her, clutching her hand. The little boy's face lit up at the sight of Keira.
