Daniel walked toward the mansion doors while everyone watched.
Amelia followed him, desperately trying to explain.
Amelia: I never wanted anyone to get hurt.
Daniel: Then you should have told the truth before today.
Sarah stood beside the little girl.
Sarah: She deserves answers.
Daniel turned toward the guests.
Daniel: This wedding is over.
The room fell silent.
Amelia stopped near the doorway.
Amelia: You would destroy everything because of an old story?
Daniel: No. You destroyed it by hiding the truth.
The little girl looked at the photograph one last time.
Little Girl: I just wanted someone to remember Helena.
Sarah placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Sarah: We remember her.
Daniel looked toward the authorities who had been contacted after the documents were discovered.
Daniel: Let the truth be investigated properly.
Amelia lowered her head as the guests watched in stunned silence.
The wedding that had begun with music and celebration ended with unanswered questions, a broken engagement, and a secret that could no longer stay hidden.
Daniel walked back to the little girl.
Daniel: You did the right thing by telling the truth.
The girl nodded quietly.
For the first time that day, the mansion became completely silent.
The perfect wedding was gone, but the truth had finally been given a chance to come out.
