Silver

The road stretching off into infinity seemed a symbol of their future—long, uncertain, but seemingly shared. Today was supposed to be their wedding day. But there she stood in the middle of the dusty highway, in a snow-white dress clinging to her rounded belly, clutching a pistol tightly. Her gaze, usually tender, was now steely, directed straight at him.
He, Silver, in his immaculate black, tattoos peeking out from under his sleeves, stood opposite, arms outstretched in a gesture that could have signified either submission or despair. Behind him, black SUVs and several men in uniform lined up, their faces impassive. This wasn't just a stopover; it was a point of no return.
"I knew you were hiding something," her voice wavered, but the gun remained motionless. "But this? This is too much, Silver."
Silver shook his head slowly. "Honey, listen to me. You've got it all wrong. I was trying to protect us. Protect you and our baby."
But the girl no longer listened. Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with determination. Her happiness was shattered, their future shattered into pieces on this road. She was ready to protect her child at any cost, even if it meant shooting the man she was about to call her husband. The wind stirred her veil, as if foreshadowing the storm that was about to break. And in this frozen scene, beneath an indifferent sky, the fate of three lives was being decided.
