3 Years Ago…
Imperial City
Westford Beach

Westford Beach was shut to the public to cater a joyous occasion, the Union of the Muller and Hayden family. This was anticipated by the whole nation as it signifies the marriage of the most beautiful woman in Zachsburhy.

It was quite an honor for the Muller family to be chosen as the groom for the bride. Although they belong to an average elite class, they are envied by many people in the upper classes especially those who pursued the bride but got turned down, naturally giving the Muller family a sense of superiority.

Ava Hayden, the beauty recognized as the Goddess of Zachsburhy is stunningly gorgeous in her wedding dress. Her elegance is evident as she gracefully walks in the aisle towards her groom, Xian Muller.

She was a subject of envy among women and desire among men. A lot of women are happy that she's finally tying the knot, for the reason that she can no longer be a threat to anyone's relationship. Men, on the other hand, are frustrated by Ava's choice, they couldn't help but wonder why she would choose Xian Muller when he lacked in all aspects. In the world of prestige, someone like Xian is considered just an average.

“Wow, I can't see her face but I can already sense her beauty.”
“For someone like her, she deserves someone even more powerful.”
“As they say, love can get you blinded sometimes”
“Yes, any way, no matter what, I'll always be her fan”

“There's no way her beauty is authentic.”
“I know right, plastic surgery is very common these days.”
“I'd rather be ugly than manipulate my face just so I could have the glory. Goddess of Zachsburhy?, nonsense!”

Everyone held different views on Ava, but she couldn't be bothered by it. Right now, she is very happy with the family she'll build with Xian.
Everyone cheered as she approached Xian who was frozen in place, enchanted by her charm.
Ava loved Xian so much that this marriage is basically her dream. She looked at him with admiration and commitment as they walked hand in hand to the altar.

The Muller and Hayden family are very pleased  as the marriage is beneficial for both families. After this wedding, they will even be more powerful and known. To them, their children are just a passport to success through marriage.

On one corner of the venue, Steven Hayden, Ava's father is calling someone.
“Did you have everything ready?” he asked on the phone.
“Yes, I'm outside waiting for you” a woman answered while anxiously sitting on the driver's seat of a black sedan just near the entrance of the venue.
