Chapter 1 - The Broken Dress
The luxurious wedding was only minutes away from beginning.
The guests had already filled the grand hall in joyful anticipation.
The bride stood beautifully in her white gown waiting near the altar.
Lucas was finally ready to walk down the aisle and start his new life.
But at that exact moment, he heard a weak knock from the end of the hallway.
"Daddy... I am scared."
Lucas rushed over in a panic and found his little daughter locked inside the maintenance bathroom.
He kicked the wooden frame until the damaged door finally swung open.
The trembling girl ran desperately into his arms with tears streaming down her face.
She raised her small, shaking hand and pointed directly toward the bride in the distance.
Her next words left the entire wedding completely frozen in absolute silence.
"She said after today, I would not be family anymore."
Lucas felt a massive wave of cold fury wash over his entire body.
He stood up and marched straight down the aisle toward his beautiful bride.
Elena tried to smile, but her eyes were filled with sudden, undeniable panic.
Lucas violently grabbed her wrist and demanded to know what she had told his daughter.
She pulled away aggressively, twisting her body to escape his strong grip.
The sudden movement caught the delicate lace of her expensive bodice on the sharp edge of the floral archway.
The heavy silk fabric tore completely open with a loud, terrifying ripping sound.
A massive silicone belly dropped from beneath the torn silk and bounced heavily onto the marble floor.
She was never actually pregnant at all.
The fake heir was just a sick, twisted illusion designed to force the billionaire into a rapid marriage.
Both families gasped in absolute horror as they suddenly understood the real reason she wanted the child out of the ceremony.
Elena needed Mia gone because the little girl was the only true legal heir to the massive family fortune.
Elena stared at the fake silicone belly on the floor and suddenly began to laugh.
Her sweet, innocent facade completely vanished into a dark, wicked sneer.
She calmly reached into the hidden lining of her ruined dress and pulled out a heavy black pistol.
She aimed the weapon directly at Lucas and smiled coldly.

"Lock the doors," Elena commanded loudly.
Heavy iron deadbolts slammed shut all around the grand hall, trapping everyone inside.
