"What a beautiful day to get married! The ceremony went smoothly and everyone was having a good time!" Laura commented jovially. Satisfaction and happiness glittered in her eyes.

"Yeah, but you are more beautiful than the day," Graven said.

"You look dashing in your suit too!" she commented.

"And you look gorgeous in your wedding dress! Your mother is right, you're like a goddess that fell from the sky and marry an ordinary man like me," he chuckled.

"That's a lie!" Laura grinned. "This day is very special! I will never forget this moment ever!"

"I'm so lucky to meet somebody like you and marry you!" Laura gushes, she gazed at his face adoringly.

"I love you so much, wife!" he whispered in her ear lovingly, his voice thick with emotion.

"I love you too, husband!" Laura replied with overwhelming happiness.

After whispering sweet nothings in their ears they resumed eating the remaining cake on the plate.

Meanwhile...

A figure in a black hooded cape was watching the newlywed couple behind the large trunk of a tree, a furious look was etched on his face, his hand-formed into a fist on his sides. "Laura, brother... you plunged my heart into darkness and pain!" he gritted his teeth furiously. He closed his eyes and murmured. "Let darkness fall in this area!"

Suddenly...all the lights went off and the whole farm was plunged into pitch darkness... collective gasped can be heard from everyone's lips.

The crowd began to panic...

"Somebody...bring back the lights on!" Simon's panicking voice rang in the air calling for the servants to act and remedy the situation quickly.

Laura grabbed Graven's arms. "What's going on, husband!? Why all the lights suddenly went off?" she asked nervously, her body trembled in fear. She's terrified that Luke might appear anytime in their midst and create havoc in the party, wanting revenge.

Graven hugged his wife tightly. "Calm down...nothing bad will happen tonight..." he assured her.
