vengeful - Story 162166 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A bitter taste filled Ava's mouth, even though she hadn't touched the hors d'oeuvres. The sight of him, his hand resting casually on the bride’s arm, was enough to make her stomach churn. It had been her dream wedding once, her life, her future. He took it all away.

She made a beeline for the head table, where she knew he'd be seated. She was going to make sure that his evening was going to be filled with dread.

She sidled up to the bride.

"What a beautiful wedding, isn't it," Ava said, forcing a smile. "I was just saying how beautiful the centerpieces are."

She made small talk, all the while watching him.

Then, she leaned in, whispering a secret to the bride. A secret that would change everything.
