He Chose Her, So I Chose to Disappear Forever Chapter 19

Elena’s calm face appeared on the screen.

“To the guests, the members of the Moretti family, and the witnesses present today, hello.

“I will not be your bride today.

“I have decided to cede my place beside Luca Moretti to the friend he has protected for more than twenty years, Bianca Caruso.

“Their relationship is so close they can drink from the same glass, wear the same shirt, and sleep in the same bed.

“They even flew to Iceland just before the wedding for one last farewell to their friendship.

“I cannot be part of a relationship like that, and I refuse to let a wedding be used to hide the truth.

“So I am stepping away.

“Luca, whoever you want to protect, whoever you want standing beside you-from this day forward, it has nothing to do with me.”

The image changed.

Every countdown video Bianca had posted began to play in

The old photo of her in Luca’s shirt.

The video of them holding hands on the boat.

The shot of him adjusting her hat in the snow.

And the hotel selfie of her lying in Luca’s arms.

Finally, new footage appeared-shot by my investigator from across the street. Through a window that hadn’t been fully closed, everyone in the room could see exactly what Luca and Bianca had done.

This footage hadn’t been sent to the media.

It hadn’t been sent to the police.

It had been delivered only to the people who had the power to judge Luca today.

When Luca finally shoved open the ballroom doors, the screen was showing him and Bianca in bed together.

The blood drained from his face.

He froze, as if nailed to the floor.

There were no ordinary guests in the room.

Every person seated at those tables was tied to the Moretti family’s power. Their silence was heavier than any curse. Several family heads slowly looked away. The allied representatives did not raise their glasses. Luca’s father’s hands remained motionless on the table.

They were re-evaluating whether this man was fit to lead

them.

Luca’s mother frantically tried to get the staff to shut off the

screen.

No one moved.

Not until the video had played to the end and the ballroom

went dark again.

Luca’s phone had been ringing the entire time.

He didn’t seem to hear it.
