“Mr. Warner, I’ve brought the person for you,” the nervous middle-aged woman said by the road, glancing at
Bradley in the car.
Bradley tossed her a gold bank card. “This is for your trouble.”
The woman picked up the card, her face lighting up with joy. “Thank you, Mr. Warner.”
Bradley glanced at the sleeping Esther beside him, a shadowy smile creeping onto his flawless face.
“Drive.”

The black sedan headed for a nearby hotel. Bradley carried Esther and took the elevator directly from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunderground garage to the rooftop.
Before anyone at the wedding scene had a moment to blink, he had already whisked Esther off to a secluded island
in Southeast Varnusia.
He carefully placed Esther in her bridal attire into an oversized crystal casket.
“Esther Quill, you had your chance! You brought this upon yourself!”
Bradley smiled wickedly. He snapped his fingers, and two muscular men emerged and gently closed the crystal
casket’s lid.
Leaning back, Bradley seemed to relish the scene as if it were a work of art. The casket was immaculate, and
Esther resembled an artistic masterpiece within.
He sipped his red wine as he watched the events at the distant venue through a projection. Guests were beginning
to arrive.
While swirling the wine in his glass, it glistened like fresh blood. He took out his phone and tapped the screen to cue
music. Soon, the Wedding March’s melodious strains filled the air from the high-end sound system.
Bradley felt utter satisfaction while tapping his fingers on his knee.
‘Chadwick, you forced Esther to marry you through deceit! I can’t wait to see your face the moment you lift the veil
and find out that the bride isn’t Esther,’ he thought.

Mandy had stepped out for some fresh air, scrolling through her phone. When a message from X appeared, she
casually returned to her room. She yawned, sat on the sofa, and closed her eyes, dozing off.
Shortly after, a bridesmaid entered the room. She nudged Mandy awake and placed the antique lace veil delicately

Still somewhat drowsy, Mandy allowed the bridesmaid to help her up. Unbeknownst to her, she left the bridal suite
in a state of unawareness.
The venue buzzed with excitement and chatter.
Gazing at the sparkling gemstones on her rustic shoes, she pondered whether X had successfully abducted Esther.
‘He must have. X is always meticulous, never one to fail. This occasion won’t be an exception,’ she thought.
Assisted by the bridesmaid, Mandy took deliberate steps onto the stage. The air was filled with classical music,
played by a renowned band from Captius, creating a rich backdrop for the traditionally themed wedding.
