The poor emcee, who’d been getting dagger looks from both the bride and groom all day, was on the verge of breaking down. Still, he pretended everything was fine and pushed on.

The only person he’d ever truly loved was Claudia.

Her glare could’ve burned a hole through him.

But Clarence just looked relaxed. “Ms. Wallace lived with our family for 17 years. She even left us a nice little keepsake before she left. Naturally, we should return the favor.”
The two locked eyes, tension filling the room.
Lydia’s fury was boiling. There was no way Clarence meant any of that kindly.
The emcee laughed awkwardly, trying to smooth things over. “Alright then, looks like the bride’s brother can’t wait to speak! So, let’s first invite—”
Bang!
The doors suddenly burst open.
