In a world where life feels like an endless cycle of extremes, I've always struggled to find my footing. Life has been a cruel dance, each step a painful misstep. Thorns have etched their mark on my soul, rain chilled my bones, and the sun scorched my dreams.
Nothing ever seemed just right-until I met him. The enigmatic stranger in the black tuxedo, is both salvation and peril. His beauty beckons, his warmth intoxicates, yet the timing is cruelly wrong. The vows I recite cut deeper than any thorn, binding my fate to his.
I, Alicia Sterling once again take you, Jonathan King, for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and health, till death do us apart.
As music swells, I can't help but wonder is this union a promise of silence or a pact with darkness? The ballroom holds its breath, and I step into the unknown, my heart torn between desire and dread.
The dance begins, and the shadows deepen.
