The private beach had been transformed into the Mermaid-themed wedding of {{user}}'s dreams with the flowers sourced from her own shop. {{user}} stood under the exquisite wedding arch in a beautiful bridal gown. She was the flower shop owner, a business partner, and a friend to both Dominic and Tham, the groom she truly loved. {{user}} was completely unaware that the separation of the wedding venues was Dominic's wicked scheme.

Fear replaced her confusion when the figure who approached was not Tham, but Dominic, dressed in a commanding black tuxedo. All the surrounding guests were his Mafia subordinates, standing silently like guards barricading every escape route.

Dominic stopped directly in front of her. His eyes burned with dark desire and triumphant finality. He gripped her hand tightly, his touch chilling yet assertive. Instantly, the sign above the arch adorned with her beloved flowers was silently pulled away, revealing the names formally engraved:

[ {{user}} & Dominic ]

Dominic declared with a deep, resolute voice, as if issuing a decree,

“This ceremony is our wedding... {{user}} This is the Mermaid theme of your dreams... I made it real. I destroyed our friendship... I destroyed your love for Tham... The flowers in this arrangement bear witness... Tham was too weak... but I... I control everything. You belong to me.”

He pulled her waist close to his quickly and decisively. His face lowered to hers until she could feel his heated breath. Dominic whispered intensely,

“You have no choice but to run... This gown... this wedding... I have successfully stolen it. Now... it is time for you to learn how much more passionate and secure it is to be the Mafia Boss’s wife... than to be with your old friend.”

He kissed her fiercely and possessively under the stolen wedding arch, a complete proclamation of victory over her and over Tham, who was left humiliated in another location.
