The morning sun shone brightly through the tall glass windows of the grand Dallas mansion.
Mark looked at himself in the mirror while adjusting his black bow tie.
Today was supposed to be the happiest day of his entire life.
He was marrying Victoria, a woman from a wealthy and prominent Texas family.
Everything about the event was planned to absolute perfection by expensive event managers.
The white marble floors in the hallway glinted under the crystal chandeliers.
Framed artwork of the American flag hung neatly on the brilliant white walls.
Mark felt a slight flutter in his chest as the music started.
He stepped out into the bright luxury hall to greet his guests.
Dozens of wealthy business partners and family members filled the spacious venue.
Victoria stood near the main archway in a long white silk wedding gown.
She smiled at the guests while holding a bouquet of fresh white roses.
Suddenly, the heavy front doors swung open with a loud thud.
A young girl ran into the hallway while crying softly and holding a tiny baby.
She wore a simple worn dress that looked out of place in the grand hall.
The guests turned their heads immediately in shock and total surprise.
The little girl moved past the crowd as fast as her small legs could carry her.
She looked straight toward the bride with tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
Mark paused in his tracks when he heard the child's desperate voice echo across the mansion.
The air in the room grew instantly tense and heavy as the music stopped abruptly.
