Chapter 1:Olivia"The bride is gone!"The words exploded through the bridal suite barely thirty minutes before the wedding ceremony.For one terrifying second, time stood still.A makeup brush slipped from one of the artist's hands, leaving a streak of blush across the vanity.One bridesmaid gasped.Another accidentally knocked over a tray of champagne flutes.Even the wedding planner froze, her clipboard slipping from her trembling fingers before crashing onto the marble floor.My heart skipped a beat."What do you mean she's gone?" my mother demanded, shooting to her feet so quickly that her chair scraped loudly against the floor.Every pair of eyes turned toward the young maid standing at the entrance.She looked seconds away from bursting into tears."I-I..." Her voice quivered as she twisted the edge of her apron between her fingers. "Miss Vanessa said she wanted a few minutes alone before the ceremony. She asked me to leave the room.""So?"
