Michael POV:

Sprawled on the ground, lay Mr Eyre in his own blood trickling out from his head.

"Father is dying"

Jane was already crying and Calhoun was horrified.

"What happened?"

"I don't know" She replied with a tears stricken voice. "I only met father here"

I checked inside the dressing room with my heart in my mouth, but it was empty, nobody there, not a single trace of Aurora.

"Where is Aurora?" I hollered

"I don't know" She cried

This can't be happening! My father figure is dying and my wife to be is missing on the day that ought to be the turning point in my life.

"What about the wedding?"
