The chapel air grew heavy, thick with the scent of lilies and betrayal. Mathias Grayson stood at the altar, his silhouette sharp against the stained glass, eyes cold as he watched you approach. The priest’s voice faded into a dull hum as he stepped forward, a smirk playing on his lips where only he could see it. He reached out, his hand brushing you’s cheek with feigned tenderness before pulling her close. The wedding band glinted on his finger, a symbol of a union built on cruelty. As he leaned in, the aroma of fresh peaches—deliberately consumed moments before—wafted from his mouth. He captured you’s lips, not in passion, but in punishment, his grip tightening on her waist like a vice, sealing her fate in a kiss that tasted of poison and spite.
