Bride: Little girl, what is your name? Why are you saying Michael is alive?
Lily: My name is Lily. My daddy Michael isn't dead... I mean, he was alive until last night!
Groom: Clara, don't listen to this garbage! She's interrupting our wedding. Someone call security!
Bride: Shut up, Mark! Let her speak!
Lily: My daddy was held in an old basement in New Jersey. This man, Mark, paid the owner every single month to keep him locked away!
Bride: That makes no sense. The police told me Michael died in a hit-and-run five years ago!
Lily: It was a fake accident! Mark paid off a corrupt lawyer and a fake coroner to sign the death certificate so he could take over my dad's estate!
Bride: My god... Mark, is this true? Did you forge the death certificate?
Groom: Clara, darling, look at me! You know me. I’ve cared for you and your trust fund for five years. Why would you believe a homeless child over your fiance?
Lily: I'm not homeless! My dad gave me this paper yesterday through the basement window before he stopped moving!
Clara snatched the paper from Lily's trembling hands. Her eyes scanned the official bank check. It was a check drawn from Michael's private offshore account, stamped and signed with a clear signature. The date written on it was yesterday afternoon.
Bride: This is Michael’s handwriting. I’d recognize it anywhere. How could he sign this check yesterday if he died five years ago?
Groom: It's a forgery! Anyone can fake a signature!
Lily: There’s a thumbprint on the back in real blood! He said to check the DNA!
Bride: Mark... your hands are shaking. Why are your hands shaking?
Groom: Because I'm furious that our special day is being ruined by a insane prank!
Bride: This isn't a prank. This is a bank check for five hundred thousand dollars signed by my late husband!
Groom: Give me those papers! They are evidence of fraud!
Bride: Touch me and I swear to God I'll scream! Back away from me!
Lily: He killed him, Mommy... yesterday when he realized you were marrying him today, he went to the basement to stop my dad from ever escaping!
Groom: LIAR! I was at the office all day yesterday!
Bride: No, you weren't, Mark. You turned off your phone from two PM to six PM yesterday. You told me you were taking a nap at the hotel!
Groom: I was tired! Planning this multi-million dollar wedding was stressful!
Bride: You didn't take a nap. You went to wipe out the evidence of your crime!
Lily: He left my dad cold on the floor... but my dad threw this paper to me through the storm grate before he closed his eyes!
Bride: You monster... you absolute monster!
Groom: Clara, listen to me! If you break off this wedding now, the family business loses its primary mortgage backing! You'll lose everything, the house, the estate, the money!
Bride: You think I care about the money when my husband was murdered?!
