11 Ambrose finally managed to calm Scarletts frayed nerves at the wedding venue .
But as the commotion subsided , a far more unsettling thought crept into his mind .
Hazels eyes , those cold , hollow eyes that had stared at him without a flicker of warmth , were etched into his memory .
The haunting image refused to let go .
He needed to see her , speak to her , and reassure himself that everything would be fine .
C Just as he took a step , the people around him quickly intervened .
What are you doing ? Its bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony ! Just wait , its only a little while longer , and youll have forever to see her after this .
Ambrose paused , his heart pounding in conflict .
Hazel was angry , that much was clear .
But the anger didnt last forever .
Once the vows were exchanged , he would find a way to fix things .
After all , she had always been patient , sensible , forgiving .

With that thought , Ambrose felt a flicker of calm settle over him as if convincing himself that everything was still under control .
But by noon , Hazel was nowhere to be seen .
Instead , whispers began to ripple through the venue , each one more piercing than the last .
Then came the bombshell : the bride had fled the wedding .
Before Ambrose could process the blow , the large screen lit up .
What should have been their romantic video now displayed an entirely different scene .
The unmistakable sound of his intimate moments with Scarlett echoed through the hall , drowning the room in collective gasps and murmured disbelief .
Ambrose stood rooted to the spot , his breath caught in his chest .
It felt as though lightning had struck , shattering his world in an instant .

It was fear .
Cold , unrelenting fear .
Hazel knew .
The realization hit him like a freight train .
Her recent distant , detached demeanor suddenly made sense .
The pieces of her strange behavior fell into place .
No wonder she had chosen this public humiliation over quietly enduring .

No wonder she had cast aside the weight of family reputations and walked away without a backward glance .
She had known all along , and she had chosen to hold it in until now .
Who put this video on ? Who gave you permission to do this ? Ambrose demanded , his voice strained and unsteady .
Where is Hazel ? Take me to her now ! This isnt what she thinks it is ..
Ambrose blocked Hazels friends from leaving , his frustration mounting .
One of them sneered , her voice dripping with scorn .
What else did you want us to show ? Your wedding prep video ? Why dont you take a good look at what youve been doing these past few months ? Ambrose couldnt find the words to defend himself .
What had he done ? He had spent all his time with Scarlett .
He hadnt been there to help decorate the wedding room or deal with the cameras .
He hadnt gone with Hazel to the photoshoot , hadnt helped her pick out dresses , or even chosen the engagement ring .
He hadnt done anything a groom should have done .
Ambroses hands trembled as he fought to steady himself .
Gone was the calm and collected persona he usually wore like a second skin .
In a frenzy , he barked orders at his people , demanding they find Hazel .
Five hours later , all he had learned was that Hazel had flown overseas with no other clues in sight .
