Murmurs filled the silent place which made Elizabeth nervous. Her eyes were fixed to the floor while everyone's eyes were on her. Numerous thoughts started to weave on her mind. She was not sure if people were judging or was she thinking unnecessarily. Elizabeth has always been a person to live in a shadow rather than taking a spot light, but now that she was being given too much attention, she felt her head spin.
There wee only a few people in the church but they were all spellbound to see the bride who was walking down the aisle. Her face was covered in a long veil. She was mysterious yet so marvelous. Her neck was long and slender making her head seem smaller than it was. The chain she wore around her neck with a diamond pendant made her look simple yet elegant. Melodious music was being played and songs were being sung by the choir group as she took little steps towards the altar. She raised her head a little to her left to see a young man stand as she walked. The man was her close friend, Liam Winscet. They both exchanged a smile before her eyes shifted back to the polished floor. Elizabeth had no guts to look into eyes of the man who stood at the altar, she knew his eyes must be on her and it only increased her nervousness. When she finally came to the alter where the groom was standing, she saw her uncle shake his hand with the man.

The depths of his eyes resembled darkness as an unsettled coldness emanated from his gaze upon her. The bride and the groom were told to take their seats at the altar to begin the mass. As the priest started to preach, Elizabeth ran her fingers to the shining pendant on her neck and adjusted it before getting lost in a chain of thoughts. The chain was very precious to her, precious that she took care of it from the time she received it from her boyfriend. A few days later after her boyfriend presented her the chain, she had come to know through her friends that the locket was a rarest diamond designed by a famous designer. She treasured the pendant not because it was the rarest design but because it was given by the person whom she loved the most. She never understood what made him leave her but the memories she had with him were etched in her heart and Elizabeth wanted cherish those moments for a lifetime. While Elizabeth thinking about her past love, the man who was seated beside her noticed the designer chain around her neck which made the girl to draw her hands back.
