Chapter 82: Her Broken Dreams For a Beautiful Wedding
The aftermath of Matthias’ shocking revelation left the wedding in a mess. The guests blankly stared at one another, unsure of what to do until a voice resounded from the speaker.
Declan stood near the altar, holding a microphone.
"As the Elsher family’s representative, I apologize for showing such a scene to all of you."
Declan paused, letting the confused guests register his words. Feeling a lump in his throat, he forced himself to resume, holding up his cracked composure.
"The ceremony won’t be happening but, please make your way to the reception hall. The meals will still be served as scheduled."
Declan regrettably made the announcement, stepping up for Jonathan because his father was too upset to face the guests.
Stephanie had run off, most likely heading to the dressing room. Samantha, Fridah and the others followed suit.
The bouquet lay cold and forgotten on the altar, the place where Stephanie and Matthias should exchange their vows earlier.
"Once again, I apologize on behalf of my family."
Putting the microphone away, Declan dragged himself away from the altar. Rafael and Celina approached him, both wearing conflicted looks on their faces.
"What the hell happened?" Rafael cursed under his breath. Raising one hand, he raked his fingers through his hair, "This... how could this happen? Phanie... she really cheated on Matthias?"
