The lead police officer carefully inspected the forged deed and official stamp.
He looked at Alyssa's terrified assistant, who was already starting to cry.
Police Officer: Ma me, did you notarize this signature without the owner present?
Lawyer: Alyssa told me Mark authorized it over the telephone last week!
Alyssa: You absolute coward! You signed those papers on your own!
Mark: My trust fund was raided for three hundred thousand dollars, officer.
Police Officer: Ma'am, you have the right to remain completely silent right now.
The officer pulled out a pair of silver steel handcuffs from his belt.
Alyssa backed away toward the floral arrangements, her face red with anger.
Alyssa: You can't arrest me on my wedding day! Do you know who my family is?
Police Officer: Turn around and place your hands behind your back immediately.
The chapel was dead silent as the metal cuffs clicked around her wrists.
Her grand silk wedding gown bunched up awkwardly as she was turned.
Guests pulled out their mobile phones, capturing every single dramatic second.
Richard: This is going to ruin our entire corporate merger strategy!
Mark: You only ever cared about the money and business reputation, Richard.
Clara: My children almost froze today because of your greedy financial games.
Lily: Daddy, is the mean lady going away now?
Mark: Yes, sweetie. She is never going to hurt our family ever again.
The officers slowly escorted Alyssa down the center of the wedding aisle.
Her expensive veil caught on a wooden pew, ripping away from her head.
She screamed furiously as she was led out into the bright afternoon sun.
The remaining guests began leaving the chapel in complete, stunned silence.
Mark turned away from the empty altar to look at his true family.
He felt a massive weight lift entirely off his exhausted shoulders.
