Mark stood up slowly while keeping his eyes locked onto Victoria's terrified face.
The atmosphere inside the luxury dressing room turned colder than an Arctic winter morning.
David walked into the room silently and closed the wooden door behind his back.
David: Mark, I just double-checked the public court archives on my mobile phone.
David: Victoria was not a stranger to Sarah before the tragic accident happened.
Mark: Speak clearly right now David, what are you saying to me?
David: Victoria was Sarah's half-sister and the secondary beneficiary to her old estate.
Mark turned his head fast and glared at his bride with intense disbelief and rage.
He had spent two years dating Victoria without ever knowing this crucial family connection.
She had claimed to be an independent businesswoman from a completely different state.
Groom: You lied to me about your entire life identity from day one!
Bride: Mark, listen to me! My family kept it secret to protect my heart!
Bride: Sarah abandoned our family years ago! I only wanted to heal your pain!
Little Girl: She is lying, Daddy! I heard her talking on the telephone yesterday!
Lily stepped forward bravely while holding her father's hand with all her strength.
Little Girl: She told a man that once you signed the papers, the money was hers.
Victoria took a quick step back and knocked over a vase of fresh lilies.
The glass shattered loudly on the hard floor, sending water splashing across the room.
Bride: Shut up, you stupid little girl! You know nothing about adult business!
Groom: Do not speak to my daughter like that ever again!
Mark pulled out his smartphone and immediately dialed the chief head of security.
Mark: Lock down all estate gates immediately and call the county police department.
Victoria's mother rushed into the room wearing an expensive bright pink silk gown.
She saw the broken glass and her daughter's ruined hair with total shock.
Stepmother: What is the meaning of this delay?! The wedding guests are waiting outside!
Mark: Your daughter lied about her true name and her legal family past.
Stepmother: It was for your own good! My daughter deserves this massive estate!
Mark: Get out of my sight before I have you arrested for fraud.
