Daniel held me close, pressing a gentle kiss. to my forehead. His warmth wrapped around me, and for a moment, the world outside felt distant, like it didn’t matter at
all.
“It’s alright,” he murmured, his voice soft. but firm. “With me by your side, I’ll make sure the rest of your days are filled with nothing but the utmost happiness.”
His words were a promise, and at that moment, I believed him.

He paused, and I felt my pulse

Tears welled up in my eyes as I nodded. My voice came out firm, unwavering.
“I will, Mr. Daniel Hughes.”
I extended my hand, and with a gentle smile, he slid the ring onto my finger. The crowd around us cheered, and under the

It was a kiss full of love and promise, the kind of kiss that marked the beginning of forever.

From the flowers to the music, everything had been carefully curated to match my vision. Even my wedding dress had been recreated by a designer Daniel hired, based on sketches I’d given him.
The entire day was perfect–under Daniel’s meticulous planning, there was no room for anything but joy and celebration.
But just as we were about to exchange our rings, a familiar voice cut through the air.
“Bianca! You can’t marry him!”
