The wedding was picture-perfect. The bride glowed as she walked down the aisle, the groom

The wedding was flawless, sunlight streaming through stained glass and music drifting softly through the chapel. Guests watched with joy as the radiant bride glided down the aisle, arm in arm with her father, while the groom waited at the altar, his eyes brimming with love.

Then the heavy wooden doors creaked open, breaking the spell. A woman entered—simply dressed, yet commanding every gaze. The groom’s expression changed instantly, joy giving way to shock. The bride faltered mid-step, bouquet trembling in her hands.

Whispers rippled through the pews. Who was this uninvited guest? What did she want? She walked with deliberate calm toward the altar, her eyes locked on the groom. The air thickened with tension as the priest hesitated, unsure whether to continue.

When she spoke his name—soft but resonant—the room froze. The weight in her voice told of shared history. The bride’s heart pounded as the groom stood motionless, his composure shattered, the perfect day suddenly teetering on the edge of scandal.
