As the day of Sabrina‘ s wedding unfolded, the tension was palpable. Everyone had been anticipating the ceremony at the Break Family’s rose estate, a place of opulence and beauty, and yet Jayden s team had orchestrated a diversion. The livestream of a decoy wedding was carefully arranged, a well–thought–out strategy to protect Sabrina from the looming threat of Nicolas and Harvey. Jayden had anticipated that they might try to interfere, and so he had taken precautions to ensure that nothing would disrupt the celebration she deserved.
Sabrina was completely unaware of the scheme unfolding in the background. As she arrived at the rose estate, the venue took her breath away. The air was thick with the scent of roses, and the estate‘ s grandiose architecture was a perfect match

for the sophisticated elegance of the day. Every detail had been meticulously planned, from the flower arrangements to the soft melodies playing in the background. She felt a moment of peace and joy, knowing that this was the beginning of a new chapter in her life with Jayden.
However, across town, Nicolas and Harvey were oblivious to the deception that had been set in motion. They had received a tip about a wedding being held at the Break Family’s estate and, through their phones, had watched the livestream of what appeared to be Sabrina walking down the aisle. The scene in the video matched the images they had seen before–Sabrina, dressed in a wedding gown, surrounded by people who seemed to belong to her world.
Their hearts sank, realizing that Sabrina had already moved on, and the wedding was happening without them. They couldn’t let go of the idea that they
needed to stop it–there was still a part of

them that refused to believe she had left them behind. Without a second thought, they hurriedly left the church where they had been earlier, intent on crashing the real ceremony.
As they drove, the weight of the situation pressed heavily on both men. Harvey‘ s mind raced, but his thoughts were interrupted when his phone rang. It was his family s assistant, delivering urgent news: his father had been rushed to the hospital and needed immediate surgery.
“Harvey, it’s your father,” the assistant said in a frantic voice. “You need to come back now. He’s in critical condition.”
Harvey’s pulse quickened as the gravity of the situation set in. “What happened? Is he going to be okay?” he asked, gripping the steering wheel.
“I don’t know,” the assistant replied, “but you need to get here as soon as possible. The situation is dire.”

As the news sank in. Harvey’s concern for his father grew. His emotions were torn between the chaos surrounding Sabrina s wedding and the urgency to return home. His thoughts were scattered, and he struggled to focus on the road. The urgency of his father’s situation clouded his judgment, and in the haze of his worry, he failed to notice a car speeding toward them.
In a split second, the screech of tires and the crash of metal shattered the silence of the drive. Harvey s car collided with the oncoming vehicle, the impact sending them careening off the road. The explosion that followed was deafening. Flames engulfed the car in a blinding blaze, thick smoke pouring into the air.
Nicolas, in the passenger seat, instinctively unbuckled his seatbelt and scrambled to pull Harvey from the wreckage. The heat was unbearable, and the smoke made it nearly impossible to see. Yet, driven by desperation, he managed to drag Harvey

out of the car just before it was consumed by the flames.
Nicolas‘ heart pounded as he checked on Harvey. His friend was unconscious, his face severely burned from the explosion. Blood mixed with soot, and the sight of it made Nicolas‘ stomach churn. The injuries were critical, and there was no time to waste. He could hear sirens in the distance, but he knew they needed help
fast.
With trembling hands, Nicolas did what he could to stabilize Harvey as best as he could, but there was no mistaking the severity of the situation.
