Chapter 4 of 6

His Bride Claimed She Was Framed Until A Silver Bracelet Exposed Her Secret

Uncovering The Plot

Mark lifted Lily into his arms and held her tightly against his chest.

Mark: Are you okay, sweetheart? Did she hurt you at all?

Lily: I am okay, Daddy, but I was scared in the dark.

Lily pointed her tiny finger at Chloe, who was standing near the stairs.

Lily: There is a man waiting outside in a red car, Daddy.

Lily: I saw her hand him a large black bag through the back window.

Mark looked at Chloe with absolute disbelief as the truth fully unfolded.

Mark: You were planning to take the valuables and leave after the ceremony.

Chloe took a step back toward the top of the wide grand staircase.

Chloe: You don't understand the kind of debt I was facing, Mark!

Mark: You lied about who you were from the very first day we met!

Mark reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to dial the police.

Mark: Stay right where you are until the officers arrive here.

Chloe turned around quickly and began running down the wooden steps.

Her heavy lace gown rustled loudly as her shoes clicked on the steps.

Mark: Someone stop her at the front entrance door downstairs!

Mark carried Lily down the hallway toward the main upper balcony railing.

Two large security guards were standing near the main estate entrance below.

They heard Mark's loud voice ringing out across the high ceiling foyer.

The guards stepped into the middle of the foyer and blocked the exit doors.

Chloe stopped at the bottom step, breathing heavily with wide eyes.

Chloe: Get out of my way right now!

Guard: You need to stay right here until Mr. Davis comes down.

The wedding guests in the main lobby started whispering among themselves in confusion.

Mark walked down the grand staircase carrying Lily safely by his side.

He looked at his family lawyer, who was standing near the front row.

Mark: Arthur, please call the local police department immediately.

Arthur: Right away, Mark. What happened upstairs?

Mark: We caught her stealing family heirlooms and locking Lily away.

Chloe tried to push past the guard toward the side patio exit doors.

The guard calmly stepped in front of her again, holding his ground firmly.
