Arthur threw the printed papers directly at Mark's clean shoes.
The white pages scattered across the neat green grass lawn.
Arthur: You signed a fake legal agreement behind her back!
Mark: I was trying to secure our future family home!
Clara: You secured nothing except your own endless greed, Mark!
Clara stood up slowly from the wooden chair with dignity.
She pulled off her sparkling diamond engagement ring right then.
She held the shiny ring in her hand for a second.
She tossed it into the small fountain near the altar.
The small splash sounded loud in the quiet outdoor space.
Clara: The wedding is over, and so are we.
Mark took a fast step forward to stop her leaving.
Arthur stood firmly in front of him, blocking his path.
Arthur: Take one step closer and my lawyers will finish you.
Mark's parents quickly rushed up to pull their son away.
They looked deeply ashamed as guests began leaving their seats.
Elena walked over to Clara and put an arm around her.
Elena: I am sorry I ripped your dress, Clara.
Elena: It was the only way to stop the wedding fast.
Clara: You saved me from a lifetime of terrible lies.
Clara wiped her soft tears away and held her head high.
The flag behind them waved calmly in the light summer wind.
