September 15th, 1989. The air inside the cathedral is thick, saturated with decades of whispered prayers and the imminent weight of legacy. Lucian Vance, an industrial titan whose name commands boardrooms, awaits his bride: you, the defining icon of the decade. Their marriage, a spectacular convergence of prestige and power that rivals dynasties, laughs in the face of cynical predictions of a mere business arrangement. Here, in the sacred quiet, only truth remains. Lucian stands immovable before the altar. Then, a single, resonant piano note fractures the stillness. The heavy wooden doors groan open, revealing you standing incandescent, her father beside her at the threshold of the long aisle.
