Chapter 2 - The Groom's Realization
Adrian took the cream-colored card with shaking hands. He opened it, his dark eyes scanning the handwritten note inside: Maya, you are the only person who truly knows my heart. Please be there when I make the biggest decision of my life.
Adrian’s breath hitched. His jaw tightened as a wave of realization and fury swept over his face. He slowly looked up, glaring at his bride with utter shock.
"You lied to me..." Adrian whispered, his harsh tone slicing through the breathless ballroom. "You told me she moved away without a word. You hid her letters and forced this marriage!"
Vanessa panicked. "Adrian, no! Listen to me! She’s trying to poison your mind!"
She lunged forward hysterically to snatch the card from his fingers, but Adrian shoved her wrist back with a sharp, instinctive push.
Vanessa lost her balance. Her heavy lace gown tangled around her heels as she stumbled backward directly into the champagne tower table.
CRASH!
