Her dad
Lisa scanned the hall, her eyes settling on her father seated in the front row alongside a few of his colleagues. He was there to protect her, but the moment to act hadn’t come yet. Moments earlier, Lisa had confessed her fear—that her brother was replacing her with Sarah. Now, she was causing a scene, determined to disrupt their big day. Across the room, Sarah stood motionless, her gaze fixed on the crowd as anger surged hot and relentless through her veins.

A tirade
Lisa’s voice, thick with bitterness, sliced through the tense air as her tirade escalated, exposing far more than anyone had expected. “You never cared about family, Mark! You’re abandoning us for her!” she cried, her tear-filled eyes betraying the depth of her anguish. The guests sat frozen, stunned by the raw vulnerability in her words. Mark, visibly uncomfortable, stepped forward, his tone steady but cautious. “Lisa, this isn’t the right time or place. We can talk about this later,” he urged, hoping to diffuse the situation. But Lisa shook her head fiercely, refusing to back down. “No! Everyone has the right to know the truth,” she said, her voice trembling under the weight of her anger and sorrow. “Sarah isn’t who you think she is.”
