Chapter 69 A Bullet In Their Heads

• Serena stood at the entrance of the aisle, the ivory veil flowing softly down her back, her heart pounding so fiercely she feared everyone could hear it. The soft melody the pianist was playing swelled around her+a sharp contrast to the fear and storm brewing inside her chest.
• As she began walking down the aisle, everyone rose to their feet. With each step, the weight of what she was walking into grew heavier. But she still managed to hold her head high so these people wouldn't see her fear, and her eyes remained fixed ahead.
• People say your life flashes before your eyes when you die, but Serena felt it now__moments blinking like film reels behind her eyes. Her childhood. Laughing with Rita and their mother at the kitchen table. The first time she fell in love. The crushing debt. The night she shot Diego and everything changed.
