Chapter 2 - The Emerald-Gowned Intruder Exposes The Groom's Secret Marriage
The heavy silence across the luxurious American estate lawn grew suffocating as thunder rumbled heavily in the dark distance.
Garrison stood frozen, his face completely drained of color as he stared at the platinum diamond band resting in Clara’s palm.
Chloe, his newlywed bride, stood trembling beside the three-tier wedding cake, water and makeup streaming down her blush-pink lace gown.
“Garrison, what is she talking about?” Chloe’s voice shook with sudden, overwhelming terror as she looked between the two of them.
Clara smiled coldly, her emerald green silk gown catching the amber glow of the string lights strung across the patio columns.
“He didn't tell you, did he, sweetie?” Clara’s voice dripped with bitter sarcasm as she stepped closer toward the wedding altar.
“Garrison and I exchanged vows in a private chapel in Las Vegas exactly eighteen months ago while he was securing his corporate loans.”
Gasps erupted from the surrounding tables where hundred-thousand-dollar wedding guests sat immobilized by the unfolding high-society drama.

Garrison finally found his voice, stepping forward with a desperate, frantic expression to block Clara from approaching any closer.
“Clara, you’re insane! That marriage was annulled months ago!” Garrison shouted, his voice cracking under the intense public pressure.
