A young woman is at the altar about to marry a man she doesn’t love when she sees her dead fiancé among the guests.
Sarah looked in the mirror and tucked her favorite gold chain out of sight. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but she felt like crying.
“Now, don’t you cry!” the makeup artist said quickly, putting powder under Sarah’s eyes. “You’ll ruin my work!”
Across the room, Sarah’s mother smiled weakly. “Tears of joy,” she said, but she knew they were tears of sadness.
What should have been Sarah’s dream wedding had turned into a nightmare. Sarah adjusted her wedding dress and felt the weight of her engagement ring against her chest. It was a delicate ring with a tiny diamond, very different from the large ring now on her left hand.
“This is your choice,” Sarah told herself softly. “Now that David is gone, it doesn’t really matter who you marry.” The man she was marrying was nice, but he was chosen by her father.
Frank Melville was the son of Sarah’s father’s business partner. Their marriage would strengthen a business deal that had made both men very rich.
Sarah’s true love, David O’Reilly, had died three years ago in a terrible car accident. David was her driver when Sarah was a young celebrity, always chased by paparazzi.
It should have been the happiest day of Sarah’s life, but all she could think about was David.
Sarah remembered how she sometimes caught David watching her in the car’s mirror. She would look away. Then one night, she drank too much at a club, or maybe someone slipped her something.
Feeling sick and helpless, she called David. He came right away and helped her out of the club when she couldn’t stand.
To her embarrassment, she vomited, and David held her hair back and rubbed her back, saying comforting words. He helped her clean up and took care of her.
From that moment on, Sarah started watching David. Eventually, she convinced him to go on a date with her. They fell in love, and one day David gave her a delicate ring with a tiny diamond.
Sarah had been living the wild life of a party girl until she met David.
She happily said yes, thinking her parents would also be happy about her marrying a driver who had no money.
“But Daddy,” Sarah cried, “you always said what mattered was that I was happy!”
“You can be just as happy with a rich man,” her father replied. “Forget O’Reilly; he’s a loser.” But Sarah loved David and fought for their love. She believed her parents would eventually accept him.
That happy day never came. Instead, Sarah got a phone call while she was with her family. She saw her father go pale.
“Sarah, be brave, my love,” he said gently. “It’s David; there was an accident, a terrible accident…”
Sarah screamed and her father held her tightly while her mother sat nearby, twisting her hands and biting her lips.
That was the last day of her old life, the life where she believed in lasting love and happy endings. Two months later, Sarah told her parents she was pregnant.
They wanted her to end the pregnancy, but she refused. “This is all I have of David, and I’m having this baby!”
They had to give in to her strong will, especially with her grandmother on her side. Gran had real power in the family. Sarah’s father reluctantly accepted the pregnancy, and they spread the rumor that the father was a billionaire.
Sarah’s little girl was born, and for once, the family didn’t make a big deal out of it. Little Rachel’s existence was a secret. Soon after Rachel was born, Sarah’s father began pushing her toward Frank Melville.
Sarah sighed and lowered her delicate lace veil. “I’m ready,” she said. She picked up her bouquet and allowed her mother and bridesmaids to lead her downstairs to the waiting limousine.
A man in a wheelchair arrived at the church first. He wore a dark suit and had a bunch of wildflowers in his lap. When the usher asked him who he was with, he said, “The bride.”
He hadn’t seen Sarah in almost two years, but he turned on the TV yesterday and saw her. “Socialite Sarah Farmin, who has been away from the city’s social scene, is about to get married!”
“Not if I can help it!” David cried, turning off the TV. He remembered waking up in a hospital two years ago with his legs useless.
His mother, who had breathing problems, had been crying at his bedside. Then Sarah’s father, the powerful Greg Farmin, walked in. “You’re crippled,” he said bluntly. “What kind of life is that for Sarah? You know she’ll marry you, but you’ll be half a man.”
“What do you want?” David asked.
“I want you to stay away from Sarah. Let her believe you are dead so she can live a happy life,” Farmin said. “In return, you and your mother will get the best care money can buy.”
So David agreed, and Farmin kept his promise. David slowly got better, but his mother eventually died.
“I can’t let her do this,” David thought. “I have to tell her I’m alive.” So, when Sarah walked down the aisle with her father, David waited for his moment.
When Sarah reached Frank and the best man, her father gently lifted her veil and kissed her forehead. Just as he was about to give her away, a voice interrupted.
“Sarah,” it said. “Please don’t do this.”
Sarah turned and saw David in his wheelchair, wildflowers in his lap.
“David?” she whispered, shocked. “Oh my God, David? I must be dreaming…” Was he a ghost or a hallucination?
“It’s me,” David said, wheeling toward her. “I’m alive, but I thought you’d be better off without me.”
“Without you?” Sarah gasped. “I’ve been DEAD without you! The only thing that kept me alive was our baby, our little Rachel.”
“Baby?” David asked, shocked. “You had a baby?” He turned to Greg Farmin. “You never told me about the baby!”
“Daddy!” Sarah cried. “You knew David was alive and didn’t tell me?”
“I wanted to protect you,” Greg said defensively. He turned to David. “You gave me your word and took my money.”
“You paid him to stay away?” Sarah yelled. “You broke my heart!” Turning to Frank, she said with a sad smile, “I’m sorry, but I can’t marry you. I’m going to marry the father of my child.”
Sarah walked back toward David and hugged him. “You marry that man, and you’ll end up with nothing,” Greg shouted. “You won’t get a cent!”
Sarah’s grandmother stood up, looking at her son coldly. “Shut up, Greg. It’s not your money to give away. It’s mine, and I think Sarah and David deserve it all!”
Sarah and David got married and lived with little Rachel in a small house they bought with their own money, even though Gran wanted to buy them a luxury apartment. They knew they didn’t need luxury now that they had each other.
“He’s homeless living on the streets,” thinks one fan about handsome Hollywood Johnny Depp after his private visiting local music shop
Ever after prevailing in his six-year defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp has maintained a low profile. The actor is taking care of himself and planning his future. But after he went vintage shopping, several of his outfit’s comments came from fans.
Celebrity from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Johnny Depp, recently prevailed in a six-year lawsuit for defamation brought by his ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of abusing his power.
In a private island ceremony, the ex-couple tied the knot in 2015. They were only married for 15 months, though, thus their union was brief.
After accusing Depp of domestic abuse, Heard sought a temporary restraining order against him, citing “inconceivable differences.”
In 2016, Heard and Depp’s divorce was finally formalized, with a $7 million settlement between them. However, the bad news started when Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife in 2019 over an article she had written for the Washington Post in 2018 in which she accused him of sexual assault.
Beginning on April 11, 2022, both sides accused the other of abusing the other physically, emotionally, and mentally.
The two performers now had to strip away every aspect of their relationship in front of the court, which only made matters worse. However, Depp won the trial on June 1. The jury determined that Heard’s claim in the article that she had been sexually abused was defamatory.
The actress is said to be unable to provide Depp with the $10.4 million that Heard was expected to pay in exchange.
The jury gave Depp a $15 million damage award one week after the slander trial concluded. on talk about their significant victory, Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew, his attorneys, were invited on Good Morning America.
It was made clear by the lawyers that the actor’s goal in the case was to repair his reputation, not to make money.
After winning the case, Depp also made a statement of his own. He considered how false yet grave and hurtful accusations six years ago had altered his life and the lives of his children.
He acknowledged the amount of abuse he encountered in the media, but he expressed gratitude to the court for restoring his life.
“The best is yet to come, and a new chapter has finally begun,” the actor wrote as he concluded his statement. True enough, yet not quite. The truth never fades.
After the Battle, what happened to Depp?
It was his career, not the money, that drove Depp to battle for his image. Since the actor has always taken pride in his work, he was not going to allow anything unduly undermine his efforts.
The actor is apparently aiming to make a comeback to our screens now that he has prevailed in his case that changed his life. However, Depp is putting his own needs—both bodily and mental—first before resuming his profession.
It was disclosed by an insider that Depp was not thinking back on the past. He was keeping his head up and making every effort to avoid any bad vibes. The insider stated that the actor was pleased and relieved with the outcome.
Now, as he eases into his next actions, the actor is reveling in the sensation of having the burden he carried for six years lifted off his shoulders.
An other source disclosed that three months subsequent to the verdict, Depp was doing well and had even resumed his dating life.
Even though Depp is doing well, he recently appeared in public, and his attire drew criticism from certain admirers.
Does Johnny Depp, who is fifty-nine years old, appear to be homeless these days?
While looking for guitars, Depp stopped by an antique store. When a movie celebrity of such caliber strolled into the store by accident, the staff was taken aback.
Robert Miller, who has owned Hemswell Antique Centers for more than 20 years, said Depp was a very real person.
Miller claimed that the actor was being his easygoing, everyday self, which made the encounter enjoyable. He took his time looking over and playing the instruments, making himself comfortable.
“For someone like that to come through our doors is brilliant,” Miller said, expressing how amazing it was to have Depp walk inside his store. He went so far as to say that Depp will undoubtedly return to purchase additional guitars because of his positive experience.
Though some admirers thought Depp’s outfit was great for vintage shopping, others were criticizing the actor’s style based on the images from his visit to the antique store.
Many supporters expressed their happiness with Depp’s victory. He was praised for being a kind person who was now able to live his life without having to conceal.
He fought and avoided the most lethal bullet from that six-year case, earning him plaudits from other admirers. He was also wished well in his next chapter by his supporters.
Conversely, admirers were perplexed by Depp’s attire but yet expressed the same endearing feelings.
Given his attractive appearance, one commenter expressed confusion about the actor’s choice of “horrid clothes.” He was nevertheless commended for succeeding in wearing his unusual fashion sense.
While some readers openly claimed that Depp looked destitute, others believed the actor’s costume was the ideal attire for vintage shopping.
Fans were nevertheless thrilled to see the actor out and about again, saying he simultaneously appeared joyful and destitute.
Wearing an all-gray ensemble, Depp’s jacket appeared worn out with several holes, and his pants had visible unfinished hems, giving the appearance of patched denim.
His signature blue glasses, a maroon pair of hand gloves, a checkered scarf, and a blue denim cap completed the ensemble.
