The Knox Family’s Humiliation
Before Elara could answer, a deep voice suddenly came from the other side of the hall.“So you’re the thug who crippled my son.”Everyone turned toward Thaddeus Knox. The Knox patriarch slowly rose from his seat, his expression dark and his eyes fixed on Kade with undisguised hatred. He had remained silent until now, allowing Mark to deal with the situation, but seeing Kade standing in the middle of the wedding had finally pushed him to act. His hands tightened into fists as he stared at the man who had left his younger son, Daniel, confined to a wheelchair.“I’ve been looking for an opportunity to deal with you,” Thaddeus said coldly. “Somehow, I had a feeling something like this would happen, so I came prepared.”He suddenly clapped his hands.Four intimidating men stepped out from among the guests and slowly moved toward Kade. Their appearance alone was enough to make the atmosphere change. They wore dark tactical clothing and carried themselves with the calm confidence of men who
Tell me the truth
Elara opened her mouth, but the words became tangled in her throat. “Kade, I—”“Who the hell do you think you are?”Vivian’s furious voice cut through the hall before Elara could finish. The Voss matriarch stepped forward, her expression filled with contempt as she stared at Kade. She had recovered from the initial shock of seeing him, and now that the surprise had faded, her old arrogance had returned. In her mind, Kade was still nothing more than an ex-convict who had somehow managed to escape Tartarus and crash a wedding that no longer had anything to do with him.“You and Elara aren’t even married,” Vivian continued coldly. “And you never will be. The only reason the two of you were ever connected was because of an old agreement between my late husband and your master. That contract means nothing compared to what is happening today. Elara has chosen Mark, so leave this instant and stop embarrassing yourself.”She pointed toward the altar, her voice becoming louder as several guest
This marriage cannot take place
“Kade?” Elara muttered beneath her veil, her voice barely audible.The moment his name left her lips, the entire wedding hall erupted into chaos. Vivian shot to her feet, her face twisting with disbelief and anger, while Beatrice stared at Kade as though she had just seen a ghost. Diana and Roland were equally stunned, unable to understand how the man they believed had been sent back to Tartarus could possibly be standing in the middle of City Hall. Even the guests began whispering among themselves, their attention fixed entirely on the man who had just walked into the wedding and ordered everyone to stop.“What the hell is that bastard doing here?” Beatrice shouted. “Where are the security guards? Get him out of here!”Vivian’s expression darkened as she stared at Kade. “How did you get here? Weren’t you taken to Tartarus?”Mark, however, was far more shaken than any of them. His face had gone pale as he stared at Kade, and for several seconds, he couldn’t even find the words to spea
The Unexpected Guest
Elara didn’t answer.The hall immediately became uncomfortable.The silence that followed was so sudden that even the guests who had been smiling moments earlier began exchanging confused glances. Mark’s smile slowly disappeared as he looked at Elara. Diana’s expression changed, and Beatrice immediately frowned. Vivian’s eyes narrowed as she stared at her granddaughter from her seat, silently warning her not to make a scene. Even Roland shifted uncomfortably, clearly worried that Elara might suddenly change her mind in front of everyone.“Elara,” the priest repeated patiently, believing perhaps that she simply hadn’t heard him.She still remained silent.Her lips trembled beneath the veil as tears gathered in her eyes. She knew what saying those words meant. Once she accepted Mark publicly, there would be no pretending that this was merely an arrangement to save Kade. She would be announcing to everyone that she had chosen another man. Yet she had no choice. If she refused, Vivian wou
Wedding Vows
Diana and Beatrice eventually stepped forward to accompany Elara down the aisle. The music playing throughout the hall became softer as the guests turned their attention toward the bride, and the atmosphere immediately became filled with excitement. Diana walked beside her daughter with a proud smile on her face, while Beatrice stayed on Elara’s other side, occasionally glancing at the guests as though she wanted everyone to see that the Voss family had finally secured such an important alliance. At the opposite end of the hall, Mark stood beside his father, Thaddeus Knox, while Roland stood with them as they waited for the bride to arrive. The moment Elara began walking toward them, the guests erupted into applause and cheers, celebrating what they believed was the beginning of a powerful new chapter for both families.But beneath the white veil covering her face, Elara looked nothing like a happy bride. Her eyes were already filled with tears, and she fought desperately to keep them
Where’s The Bride
Vivian’s smile immediately returned, and she nodded enthusiastically. “Thank you, Patriarch Knox. Honestly, that good-for-nothing criminal was never worthy of our beautiful Elara in the first place. The engagement was nothing more than a foolish arrangement made by my late husband years ago. We tolerated it because of the old agreement, but deep down, everyone knew Elara deserved someone far better.” Her eyes moved briefly toward Mark, who stood nearby in an expensive black suit, looking more confident than he had ever looked before.Mark couldn’t hide his satisfaction either. He adjusted his jacket and smiled. “Finally, he’s gone. Now we can all rest peacefully.” He had spent considerable effort making sure Kade was removed from the picture, and as far as he was concerned, the biggest obstacle between him and Elara was now sitting behind the walls of Tartarus. He had no idea that Kade had already walked out of that prison and was on his way to the very wedding they were celebrating.
