Amber shut her eyes, waiting for the excruciating pain to hit her.
It never came.
Instead she heard a painful groan and a thud, followed by more screams as the guests began to scramble out of their seats, making a mad dash for the door.
Amber snapped her eyes open. The moment her eyes landed on the sight before her, she felt her entire world cave in.
Her father lay before her in a pool of blood, holding his side as blood gushed out from the gunshot wound. In the split second she closed her eyes, Benjamin had stepped in the line of the bullet, taking the death blow meant for his daughter.
"FATHER!",Amber screamed and from then on, everything seemed to happen in slow motion.
She grabbed the hem of her wedding dress and raced towards her father's side, her screams echoing in her ears. She paid no attention to Velma, or Draco. Nor the numerous bodyguards that tried to hold her back.
