Rosa's Traditional Wedding

Santorini, Greece

Zealous was on his yacht with his new wife, Zara. They were on a vacation, and he came outside on the deck to take a smoke.

After the death of Mirabella, he felt like a load had been lifted off his shoulders. It was as though the weight of guilt and grief had been lifted, and a strange sense of relief washed over him.

He had taken months off to reflect. He knew he hadn’t treated her right, but how could he when he was sinking in guilt, pity, and hate? Mirabella had been the core contributor to Della’s death and the death of his unborn child. He gained after her death, but Elsa wasn’t the child of the love of his life.

He married Zara, a beautiful woman with a kind heart. She reminded him of Della. He married her a year after the death of Mirabella. She reminded him of Della, but he didn’t view her as Della’s replacement—no one on this earth could ever replace his Della.
