Astrielle and Jessie stood together at the altar, their union a product of arranged circumstances. Despite the initial apprehension, they found themselves drawn to each other, their connection growing stronger by the moment.
As they exchanged heartfelt vows, pledging their lives to one another, the room was filled with a mix of anticipation and quiet murmurs .
The ceremony reached its end when they were pronounced husband and wife.
Cheers erupted, and amidst the joyous celebration, soft music began to play. Astrielle and Jessie, now officially married, swayed gently to the rhythm, lost in the moment of newfound love.
Then, a faint sound shattered the air - gunshots echoing in the distance. Astrielle froze, her senses instantly on alert. Confusion went through the guests as they turned to her, concern etched on their faces. Before she could utter a word, a sharp pain tore through her abdomen. Shocked gasps filled the room as Astrielle collapsed, clutching her stomach.
Her family, Jessie's family, and their friends rushed to her side, their voices a full of fear and anguish. Jessie cradled Astrielle in his arms, his own terror barely contained " CALL THE AMBULANCE! " Jessie's voice rang throughout the room .
Paramedics were called and people were crying and said frantic prayers, Astrielle was swiftly carried away to the waiting ambulance.
At the hospital, doctors worked urgently to stabilize her condition. Grim-faced, they informed the waiting loved ones of the severity of her injuries.
Astrielle was placed into a coma, her fragile state hanging in the balance. The room held grief and hope, as everyone held onto the fragile thread of a 50/50 chance of survival for astrielle.
'Why would anyone target her?she has done nothing for anyone to harm her life .' Was what everyone was thinking but Jessie knew who would've done that especially to someone they knew he loved ...

I couldn't help but cry into her warm hand that i was holding i was tired, i noticed my life not going good without her here right now it was not healthy to not rest ,eat or go out but how could i when she has a 50 /50 chance to live .

I frowned walking away going to my car driving home changing into some street clothes before going to Cali alone..

" ..how is mrs.romano doing ?..sick, injured ..or maybe she's comatose from what I've heard .." i wanted to rip his tongue out of his mouth to teach him a good lesson but at the moment i had been taken hostage blinded by my own anger i didn't have a plan ..
