Would she continue waiting for him to materialize from thin air in view of her increasing age and the cultural pressure from family , community and the hanging open threats from the Mafioso ?

Prologue
The wedding hall was packed to the brim . The nobles mixed with the commoners to witness the bride and bridegroom exchange vows to their matrimonial journey . The groom's relatives beamed with pride as they looked forward to having such an exceptionally talented bride as their daughter in-law . It had been a tough ride so far , but the end always justifies the means . The bride's relatives and friends , on the hand , were expectant of an hitherto unheard of unity between the two antagonistic social classes . To them , it was proof that they too could rise above their social status . Grace Kane , their daughter , had testified to that .
The congregants rose in loud applause amidst melodious chorals as the bride's and groom's teams advanced to the podium from opposite directions . Jack , in the company of his father , expectantly marched majestically , a broad smile displayed on his face . From the other side , Grace , accompanied by her eager father , walked hesitantly , her head staring on the carpet , like someone tormented in her mind .
" Where are you , my love ? Did you have to disappear when I needed you most ?" She had been assailed by these questions ever since events had conspired against her life's desire .
Suddenly , someone tapped her on the shoulder . She turned to find , Jannet , one of her bridesmaids , extending a piece of paper to her . She quickly scanned the writing on the paper , her heartbeat increasing . Abruptly , she made an about turn and started running out of the hall , leaving everyone perplexingly astounded .
