But an hour passed, and Zac’s search yielded nothing.
Nick had thrown a massive fit, but it accomplished nothing.
As nightfall approached and Mia remained nowhere to be found, Nick had no choice but to call for reinforcements. Even the friends and family who had come to attend their wedding were recruited to join the search for her.

[Mia, where are you? Reply to me the moment you see this!]
[Mia, I know you’ve been hurt a lot lately, but please belleve me–there’s a reason for all of this. Call me, and I’ll explain everything.]
[Mia, I stopped caring about Xena a long time ago. This was all an act! Do you hear me? It wasn’t real. It was all just an act!]
At first, Nick tried to coax her gently, but when message after message went unanswered, his patience began to wear thin.
[Mia, don’t push your luck. I know you’re nearby watching all this chaos and feeling smug about it, aren’t you?]
[You have one hour. Get to the banquet hall now.
[If you’re here within the hour, the wedding will go on as planned, and I’ll overlook today’s behavior.]
[But if you’re not here in an hour, don’t even think about stepping foot into the Ford family home ever again.]
