Sally stormed through the opulent mansion, her heels clicking on the marble floor. She had to find Louis. She checked every room, her anger simmering. Where was he? She needed to talk to Louis urgently.
Finally, she reached his private chamber. Louis stood there, adjusting his tie, seemingly unfazed by her dramatic entrance.
Sally's anger flared.
" What am I hearing?" she hissed, her voice sharp. "You're marrying that girl? The daughter of a murderer, the one whose father killed mine and took everything from us? You are leaving me for her?" She balled her fist.
Louis sighed, running a hand through his hair. He knew this confrontation was inevitable.
" Sally, calm down," he said. "This isn't the time to lament."
"Of course it is!" Sally's fists clenched. "I will do whatever it takes to end this marriage."
Louis eyes softened. "I am not doing this to hurt you. It is about revenge, the Rodriguez took everything from us. This marriage is my way of making them pay."
Sally blinked in surprise. "You are doing this for me?"
He nodded. "Leave it to me. I will handle it."
" But what if she finds out?" Sally's concern was genuine. "Shouldn't we plan this more carefully? Or maybe I should help?"
Louis strapped on his wristwatch. "Trust me, Sally. I know how to handle this."
But Sally knew something he didn't. She knew he love Luna so deeply even if he didn't want to admit it and she just didn't know how to make him understand he was making a big mistake but at this point in time.

The groom first apologized for his inconvenience and then the wedding proceeded as the priest blessed the couple and it was now time to exchange their wedding vows.
Luna gazed at him, her eyes filled with love. She was about to pledge her forever to this man. The priest turned to her.
" Do you Miss Luna Rodriguez take Mr. Louis Farrell as your lawful wedded husband to hold and behold to love and cherish in sickness and in health, will you love him untill death do you part?" Ask the priest to the bride
Helena smiled, her heart full. "Yes, I do."
The priest then faced Louis "Do you Mr Louis Farrell take Miss Luna Rodriguez as you lawful wedded wife to hold and behold to love and Cherish in sickness and in health, will you love her untill death do you part!" He ask.
Louis eyes locked onto Luna's. He didn't respond. The room held its breath. Was he nervous? But instead of speaking, he just smiled at her.
The priest repeated the question, but Louis remained silent. Luna's joy turned to confusion. Why wouldn't he answer? Was something wrong?
The priest repeated the same question but still the groom never replied and everyone waited patiently to hear him answer to his vow but he never said anything instead he only smiled at his bride.
On the fourth attempt, a gunshot shattered the air. Chaos erupted, the lights flickered, screams echoed, and guests scrambled for safety. world spun. She searched for her groom Louis, desperate to find him and checked if he is okay.
The bride was in devastation as she search for her groom and rescue but to no avail.
But horror awaited her. Her father lay lifeless, her mother stabbed, and her sister dragged away.
"Help me!! Help me please!!" She screamed but like no one cared, no one came to her rescue. Darkness settled over the hall.
Suddenly she got shot on her arm and she lost balance as she fell hard on the floor and groaned in pains.. She held her hand groaning in pain.
Footsteps approached. It was Louis, but there was no sympathy in his eyes. He picked up a flower vase and smashed it against her face.
He smirked at her with an evil glint in his eyes.
" Why?" she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Louis leaned in, his voice cold. "I got what I wanted long ago. We can never be together because I never loved you. Goodbye, Luna Rodriguez."
He spat on her, leaving her broken and alone. He finally got his revenge while Luna's world shattered as he walked away.
