The wedding hall smelled of white roses. Golden chandeliers sparkled above, a string quartet played softly in the background, and crystal-adorned tables shimmered under the warm light. Everything looked like it had been taken straight out of a luxury fairytale.
Lia stood at the entrance, her white wedding gown trailing behind her like a river of silk. Her hands trembled slightly as she clutched her bouquet, but her smile was serene.
She saw him —Chris Adler, standing at the end of the aisle.Black suit. Silver tie. Hair perfectly parted.And that same unreadable, magnetic smile.
Their eyes met.He extended his hand.She walked toward him, one step at a time, down the petal-lined aisle, as hundreds of eyes followed her every move.
The officiant spoke clearly.– "Do you, Lia Blanche, take Christopher Adler to be your lawfully wedded husband?"– "I do."– "Do you, Christopher Adler, take Lia Blanche...?"– "I do."
The applause was instant — cameras flashed, champagne popped, and the air filled with celebration.
Chris leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Lia's forehead.She smiled, unaware that her heart had just placed itself into the hands of a man who kept many secrets.
A few hours laterSky Sovereign Tower – Floor 132
The private elevator slid open with a gentle chime.Lia stepped into her new life.
The penthouse looked like a palace in the clouds.Floor-to-ceiling windows revealed the glowing skyline. Marble floors stretched endlessly. A baby grand piano stood by the window, untouched but elegant. Every corner whispered: "You are no longer ordinary."
Chris wrapped an arm around her waist."Welcome home, Mrs. Adler," he whispered.
Lia took a deep breath."It feels like I just walked into a dream."
Chris smiled. "This is just the beginning. Whatever you've ever wanted… it's all yours now."
She believed him.She truly did.
And that night, beneath a ceiling of stars and the quiet hum of the city, a couple in love began a new chapter on the 132nd floor, in a world built on glass, gold... and one unspoken lie.
