Marcus pulled his hands away from Victoria with total shock written across his face.
He stared at the small girl named Lily whose face mirrored his late sister.
Three years ago his beloved sister Sarah had tragically passed away in another state.
Sarah had left behind two tiny children whose legal custody had mysteriously gone missing.
Marcus had hired private investigators for months but never found his lost niece Lily.
Victoria had promised him back then that she was helping search every adoption agency.
Now looking into Lily's weeping eyes Marcus realized the horrific truth right then.
Victoria had known where the children were hidden all along during their entire relationship.
She had paid an illegal shelter to keep the poor kids away from Marcus.
She feared taking care of another woman's children would ruin her high society lifestyle.
Victoria: DADDY?! What nonsense is this filthy little orphan talking about right now?!
Marcus: That is my niece Lily and my baby nephew James you hid away!
Victoria: You are letting a crazy street kid ruin our grand wedding day Marcus!
Marcus: You lied to me for two whole years while my family suffered!
Marcus dropped his flower boutonniere onto the floor and rushed down the altar steps.
He ran down the long white aisle straight toward his weeping young niece Lily.
The audience stood up in absolute shock as murmuring filled the bright cathedral room.
Lily fell toward Marcus as he dropped down to his knees on the floor.
He wrapped his strong arms around Lily and the tiny crying baby bundle securely.
Tears streamed freely down Marcus's face as he kissed his niece's trembling forehead.
Lily: The mean lady said you did not want us anymore daddy Marcus.
Marcus: I never stopped searching for you my sweet angel, I am so sorry.
Victoria marched down the aisle behind him with pure rage distorting her face.
She refused to let her expensive high society wedding fall apart like this today.
