She burst into sobs upon saying that. I gasped and acted fake surprised even if I already knew, "Oh my Candice.." I hugged her as she began to cry.
I rubbed her back as she began to say, "My father's respect will be shattered, no one will marry me, a stain will appear on my name. Sophie, can you think, Candice, a girl who was left unmarried at the altar."
She continued to cry as I tentatively asked,
"What are you supposed to do now?"
"I don't know. I definitely won't marry him. But if not, then what about those hundred guests that are ready to spread rumors?" She cried loudly.
I tried to console her but to no avail. She felt heartbroken, I couldn't even imagine what she was feeling, a feeling of betrayal on the very day of your marriage, it must be a ravaging feeling.
"Candice.. calm down.. we'll sort something out." I tried to assure her but she asked, "How are you supposed to do it?" I felt my heart heavy looking at her like this.
