Lisa laughed, a joyful, melodious sound that filled the room.
"I can't wait for Lian to see me in this. He's going to be stunned." She admitted.
After final adjustments, Lisa reluctantly changed out of the dress and paid for it, her heart brimming with happiness.
The boutique staff packed the dress with the utmost care, placing it in a pristine garment bag that Lisa held close as she stepped outside.
The sun was still bright, casting a golden hue over the bustling street and her bodyguards that had waited outside moved swiftly to escort her to her car but as she approached, a sleek black car suddenly pulled up, blocking her path.
The door of the black car swung open, and a rush of white smoke erupted from within.
The smoke filled the air with startling speed before anyone could comprehend what was happening.
Lisa's instincts kicked in moments later but the dense cloud overwhelmed her senses.
