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.

Orphaned at the age of twenty, she had been left to fend for herself and her younger siblings.

But what she hadn't counted on was falling in love with the Millan's son, Richard. Richard was charming, handsome, and kind. He was everything Giulia had ever dreamed of in a partner. But their love was forbidden. The Millan family didn't approve of Giulia, seeing her as a poor, insignificant girl who was beneath their son. Despite the odds against them, Richard and Giulia continued to see each other in secret. They would steal glances at each other, exchange sweet messages, and meet in secret whenever they could. But now, as Giulia stood at the altar, she knew she couldn't go through with the wedding. She couldn't marry Richard, no matter how much she loved him. Why had she made this decision? What had driven her to leave Richard standing at the altar, his heart broken and his world shattered?
