The bright sun shone brightly over the manicured lawn of the Dallas estate, casting warm light across rows of elegant white chairs. In the background, a tall American flag flew proudly on its flagpole against the clear blue sky. It was supposed to be the most beautiful day of Chloe's life her outdoor wedding ceremony to Julian.
Chloe: STOP RUINING MY DRESS, PLEASE!
Chloe's voice cracked with pure agony as she clutched her seven-month pregnant belly with one shaking hand. Standling right over her was Victoria, her future mother-in-law, whose face was twisted into a cold, aggressive glare as she violently yanked and ripped the delicate lace off Chloe's gown. Soft gasps echoed across the green lawn as all the seated wedding guests watched in utter horror.
Victoria: You don't deserve to wear white in front of our family! You're nothing but a gold-digger who trapped my son!
Chloe: Victoria, please! Think of the baby! You're hurting me!
Victoria: I don't care about your tears! This dress is an insult to our family's reputation!
Chloe looked up with tear-filled, frantic eyes toward the altar, searching desperately for the man who had promised to love and protect her. Julian stood near the floral arch in his sharp grey suit, frozen in place like a stone statue. He stared at the violent scene with an expression of complete shock and bewildered realization, his chest heaving with a low, panicked pulse.
Chloe: How could you let them do this to me?
Julian: Chloe... I... my mother is just upset about the prenuptial agreement...
Chloe: You stood there and watched everything burn!
Julian: I never wanted any of this!
Julian threw his hands up defensively, speaking frantically as the crowd began to whisper loudly among themselves. Seeing that her fiancé was too cowardly to move a single finger, Chloe reached into her silk bouquet, pulling out her smartphone with trembling hands. She dialed a emergency number, holding the speaker close to her wet cheek as her sobbing intensified.
Chloe: Dad, please pick up!
Before the phone could even ring twice, the heavy oak doors of the estate house slammed open. A wealthy older American man in a sharp black tuxedo and bow tie charged out onto the lawn. His face was dark with uncontainable rage as his firm footsteps sprinted straight down the white carpeted aisle. Arthur Sterling had arrived, and he was ready to tear the entire wedding apart.
Arthur: HOW DARE YOU LET THEM TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!
Julian stumbled backward in absolute panic, covering his face in terror as Chloe's powerful father closed in on him.
