David stepped out of the black limousine in front of the venue.
He adjusted his jacket and greeted his old college friends.
Many rich investors had come to celebrate his big afternoon.
They shook his hand and offered warm congratulations for his wedding.
David smiled politely but his eyes searched for his beloved mother.
David: Have any of you seen an elderly lady in a dark coat?
Friend: No, David, we just arrived from the main hotel.
David felt a strange worry grow inside his tight chest.
He walked past the huge mirrored walls of the entrance hall.
He heard loud shouting coming from the private bridal corridor.
A voice he recognized was screaming with pure unbridled rage.
Jessica: Move her away right now or you are all fired!
David quickened his pace as he walked down the long hall.
He saw security guards pulling an elderly woman near the door.
His heart stopped as he recognized the old gray hair bun.
It was his sweet mother Eleanor being shoved toward the exit.
Her red roses were crushed on the floor near Jessica's feet.
Jessica was standing tall with a furious and cruel look.
Jessica: DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!
David ran forward with pure shock showing across his face.
He pushed past two confused guests standing in the doorway.
He saw his mother weeping into her worn red handkerchief.
Eleanor: THESE ROSES ARE FOR YOU...
Jessica turned away with total coldness and a cruel sneer.
Jessica: Get this beggar away from my expensive dress!
David stepped directly between Jessica and the old woman.
He reached out his arms and pulled the elderly woman close.
David: DON'T TOUCH HER. SHE IS MY MOTHER!
The whole room went completely silent in a single second.
Jessica's jaw dropped as her eyes widened in total horror.
The guards dropped their hands and backed away instantly.
The rich guests in the hall gasped in absolute shock.
Jessica's face turned completely red as her power crumbled.
Jessica: Your... your mother? But she looks so poor!
David glared at Jessica with a cold and unforgiving expression.
He wrapped his black tuxedo jacket around his mother's shoulders.
The secret of his family was now fully out in the open.
