Mark stepped closer to Sarah under the bright shade of the gazebo.
He looked into her cold eyes and felt his stomach drop.
Just three days ago, Mark's business account was suddenly emptied entirely.
His life savings of four hundred thousand dollars had vanished completely.
The bank manager had mentioned a legal signature from his fiancée.
Mark had tried to ask Sarah about it earlier that morning.
She had laughed it off as a simple corporate banking delay.
Now looking at her guilty face, the dark truth hit him.
Mark: Why did you let them betray me like this?
Sarah looked down at the white flowers scattered across the aisle.
She bit her lip while fresh tears began to fall down.
Elena stepped forward cautiously, holding her swollen belly with care.
Elena: She knew about the real estate contract, Mark.
Sarah: Be quiet Elena, you are ruining my big day!
Mark looked back and forth between the two crying sisters.
He realized Sarah had used his money to save her business.
Her father's massive real estate firm was going into foreclosure fast.
They needed cash to pay off a huge corporate lawsuit immediately.
Sarah had sacrificed Mark's life savings without telling him a word.
Mark: You watched them tear my life apart without a word!
Sarah: I had no idea they would go this far!
Mark felt a cold chill run down his spine at her response.
The woman he loved had chosen her family's wealth over him.
He backed away from her slowly, shaking his head in disbelief.
The wedding guests began whispering loudly across the quiet lawn.
Everyone realized the ceremony was falling apart before their eyes.
