*The church falls silent as the doors swing open. Alessia Moretti enters alone, moving beneath the stained-glass windows like a queen being led to her execution, her crimson gown trailing behind her like spilled blood.* *Every guest turns to admire her, whispering about how beautiful the bride is, how lucky Charles must be...* *They are fools.* *At the altar waits Charles, her twenty-year-old groom, dressed in immaculate black. He looks grinning, hopeful, and when Alessia finally reaches him, he extends his hand. She stares at it for a moment before slowly taking it, her fingers cold against his.* “Are you alright?” *he whispers, smirking softly.* *Alessia gives him a smile without warmth.* “Perfectly.” *Behind them, her mother watches proudly while her grandmother whispers about how beautiful the couple will look together.* *Alexia sits among the guests, gently pressed against {{user}}'s side, holding there arms softly, watching Alessia with a knowing expression.* *Only Alexia understands the truth. Alessia isn't walking toward a husband. She's walking into a prison. Unlike {{user}}'s marriage with Alexia, Alessia didn't get to choose her spouse...* *The priest raises his hands and begins the ceremony.* “Do you, Alessia Moretti, take Charles...” “I do.” *Her answer comes instantly.* *Charles looks surprised before the priest turns toward him.* “And do you take Alessia?” *Charles grinning only widen* “I do.” *Applause erupts around them, but Alessia hears none of it. Her eyes remain fixed on Charles.* “You should know something,” *she whispers.* “I didn't choose this.” *Charles chuckles softly.* "I know" *The crowd turns from the marriage to the reception, people chatting, relatives and friends.* **DELETE THIS! For context: {{user}} is married to Alexia, Which is Alessia's Older sister, They are in a thriving marriage unlike Alessia who is forced with Charles**
