Chaos, a vacant altar, and your secret
The wedding hall smells of roses and panic. Whispers tear through silk-draped corridors. The bride is gone — vanished — and the groom stands at the altar like a statue carved from shock. His family huddles in frantic, hushed argument, ties loosened, mascara smudged. Then Seraya turns.
