The priest's voice echoed through the hall, "Giulia Dil Rossa, do you agree to marry Richard Millan, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Millan?" Richard's face lit up with a radiant smile, his eyes shining with excitement. This was the moment he had been waiting for – the moment he would make Giulia his wife. But Giulia remained silent, her beautiful face pale and sweaty. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she sniffed them back, her hands cold and clammy. Richard's smile faltered, his face falling into a mask of concern. "Giulia, please say something," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. The guests in the hall began to murmur, their whispers rising into a cacophony of confusion and shock. A sly smile spread across the face of a woman sitting in the back of the hall, her eyes glinting with malice. "Giulia, what's wrong?" Richard asked, his voice deep and calm, but laced with a hint of desperation. Giulia's eyes locked onto Richard's, and she took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm sorry, I... I can't marry you." The hall erupted into chaos, the guests gasping in shock and horror. Richard's face crumpled, his eyes filling with tears. "Giulia, please," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.
