Aria's POV"She's not answering." I held up my phone like evidence, habang ang atmosphere sa paligid ay sobrang tense—parang lahat kami walang karapatang huminga."Her phone's been off. Three hours na," sabi ni Mama, hawak-hawak ang pearl necklace niya habang pilit pinapakalma ang sarili. Pero halata sa mata niya—she was spiraling.Father’s jaw tightened. His face thick and unnatural, it’s the most worried I’d ever seen to him.What do we do now? I thought, biting my fingernails. Nakabibinging katahimikan ang naghari, like we all seemed lost in the moment.Lucian was pacing near the grand staircase, his tux slightly wrinkled, tie loose around his throat. He had his phone pressed to his ear, calling again. "Come on, Sienna...pick up. Please." Yung desperation sa boses niya—kitang-kita sa kaniyang mga mata. Pero voicemail na naman ang bumungad. He didn't even have to say it. "Still off," he muttered.My mother constantly tapping her nails against the mahogany table. It was driving me i

Damian's POVShe's not the bride.That was my first thought when the chapel doors opened.The second?I'm going to kill someone for this.She walked like Sienna—same posture, same veil, same dress we picked out together—but it wasn't her.

I'll give her that. She stood with elegance, but beneath the shield, I saw the truth.The priest began speaking—something about vows and eternal love. Like they always do at weddings.

Aria's POV"Do I have to smile like a doll or am I allowed to blink like a human being tonight?"I didn't mean to be sarcastic but the words just came out.Damian didn't even turned his head to me.

God forbid your fake wife ruins your real image."Finally, he looked at me—briefly. Cold. Calculating. Parang nainis siya na hindi ako kasing dali i-handle gaya ni Sienna. Pero hindi niya alam, I was never the porcelain type. I don't break that easily."You should be thanking me," I muttered habang inaayos ang silver silk gown na pinili ng assistant niya."You're welcome for saving your legacy," I added with a little smirk."You didn't save anything. You just showed up in the wrong dress," he snapped, jaw tightening."Still married you though," I said sweetly.He didn't answer.
