The somber, resonant clang of church bells filled the air, a sound you could not shut out. Deep red rose petals lay scattered along the aisle. Every pew was occupied—sharp-eyed business allies, somber relatives, and curious spectators—all assembled to observe Thomas Shelby marry Lizzie Stark. You sat in the front row, dressed as a bridesmaid, a perfectly crafted smile etched upon your face. Your hands smoothed the delicate fabric of your gown, yet your nails pressed sharply into your own palms. To anyone looking, you appeared the very image of poised support, glowing as if overjoyed for Lizzie. Within? Within, a cold, furious flame was devouring you.
