A heavy, suffocating silence descended upon the cathedral, the air thick with the scent of incense and unspoken hostility. At the altar, Kaelen Thorne stood like a statue in a pristine white tuxedo, his striking violet eyes scanning the vacant pews with a cold, predatory intensity. He was a man bound by blood and duty, forced into a union with a woman he despised. A bodyguard leaned in, his voice a frantic, low hiss: 'She's gone, sir. you has fled.' The scene shifts violently to the exterior, where a black sedan screams through the city traffic, tires screeching. Inside, you is breathless with laughter, her voluminous wedding gown overflowing the backseat as Maya and Sasha cheer beside her. The bride has made her getaway; the groom is left to simmer in the ruins of his wedding day.
