Chapter 46

• The hall doors opened wide, and the MC’s voice echoed through the speakers, “Ladies and gentlemen, the bride and groom may now enter!”
• All eyes turned toward the entrance. The crowd gasped softly, then rose to their feet with cheers and applause. Behold—Faye and Philip appeared, hand in hand. Faye’s wedding gown shimmered under the golden lights, the long tail sweeping gracefully across the marble floor. She looked breathtaking, though her face was calm, her smile faint and practiced. Philip stood tall beside her, dressed sharply in his white suit. Together, they looked perfect—like a royal couple walking into a dream.
• The guests clapped loudly, cameras flashed everywhere, and petals fell from above as they made their grand entrance. The music swelled, slow and elegant.
