I Saw the Ending Before My Wedding Chapter 8
Jack wasn't a man of many words. When he saw me leave the lockup, he simply turned and walked back to the car.But I knew he had waited outside the cannery because he feared someone might use the opportunity to come after me.I knew something else too. He would rather have returned to the northwest, to the border, to that endless desert.Yet to marry me without challenge, he had remained at the center of the family. He was now Don of the Hathaway family.Then, just as I was preparing for the wedding in peace, a letter arrived from the Northside crew.It said they had agreed to take the Hathaway daughter as the Northside boss's second wife in exchange for a truce between the two organizations.The Hathaway council was baffled. No one understood why Northside had suddenly raised the subject of marriage.Then one of them turned to the second letter enclosed with the first.It was a handwritten letter on Hathaway stationery. Its wording was deferential, its tone almost servile. It claimed

William tried to object, but it was already too late.With the family's transport lines and border territory at risk, Marcus couldn't refuse to investigate.Jack's lieutenant took a team and turned William's private warehouse upside down.The first thing they found was a black tactical jacket with blood on it.A broad, blackened bloodstain covered one cuff, and the jacket's cut exactly matched the one worn by the kidnappers' leader in the dock-surveillance footage.Then William's private physician came forward as a witness.On the night after the kidnapping, William had asked him to treat a wound on his wrist.Far more came out of that warehouse.Jack's men found three handwritten ledgers inside a hidden compartment in the wall. They recorded in detail how William had skimmed profits from the Hathaway transport line, used Hathaway docks for unreported weapons shipments, and engineered one fatal accident after another for the people managing our routes.Tucked into the last page was a l

Her pregnancy was impossible to miss now.Three months along at the very least.The proof was in front of everyone, and the story she had just told fell apart on its own.Who would ask a woman four months pregnant to marry her fiancé in her place and call that protecting her reputation?I gave a short, bitter laugh."Julie, I'd love to hear how you explain being pregnant."Everyone stared at the swell of her stomach as shocked murmurs spread through the room."With a belly that size, she has to be four or five months along.""Then she must have crawled into William's bed right after he and Nora got engaged!""Ungrateful bitch. She sleeps with the heiress's fiancé, then has the nerve to claim she took her place to protect her. Disgusting."Marcus's last scrap of patience vanished.He waved for his men to drag Julie away.Julie crawled toward William, sobbing, her voice shrill enough to cut. "William! I'm carrying your child! Please, for our baby's sake, save me!"William!"William did n

Our people crowded around me while the family doctor crouched in front of me and cleaned the gunshot wound with antiseptic. The bullet had passed straight through my wrist, and the edges were already inflamed. Frowning, the doctor said it had barely missed the tendon.Their voices overlapped around me without pause."Nora isn't going to scar, is she? Scars aren't pretty on a girl.""We're the Hathaway family. Scars are medals. Why would we fear one more?""Everyone knows Don Hathaway treasures Nora above everything. Once he hears about this, he'll want to put a shell through the Voss estate.""If you ask me, if the Voss family is this rotten, there's no reason for an alliance. The Hathaway family survived before them and will survive without them."Jack stood off to the side with his arms folded, saying nothing, only watching me.My eyes stung. Surrounded by them, I felt utterly safe.When word came that William had arrived, Julie suddenly went limp and collapsed on the floor.William

Sonia stared at them. The color drained from her face as she backed away until there was nowhere left to go.Julie glared at her. "What are you afraid of? We're on Voss ground. Do you think they'd dare touch us here?"Evelyn Voss, the Voss family matriarch, was the one who had contacted my people.She and my mother, Charlotte Hathaway, had been friends for decades. The moment she heard what had happened, she raced back.But she was still a step too late. By the time she arrived, she learned that I had already been locked up.With no other option, she contacted the Hathaway family and had them send people to rescue me.Evelyn hurried over, her eyes rimmed red and guilt written across her face. Her voice trembled. "Nora, are you all right? I'm so sorry I came too late."Her tears splashed onto my injured wrist. I flinched at the sting.I forced a hand up to wipe her tears. My voice was barely a whisper. "This isn't your fault. I should have come to you sooner. Mom always said you and she

The council discussed it and seemed ready to agree. Marcus opened his mouth to make the decision official.The floating comments flashed before my eyes again.[This is bad. The council thinks Julie is being generous. They're definitely going to force Nora to stay at the Voss estate as a servant.][Once William and Julie use her identity to swallow the Hathaway family's businesses, territory, and bank accounts, they'll kill Nora without a sound and tell everyone she died by suicide during a psychotic episode.][Poor Nora. There is no one who can help her.]I read the comments and gave a humorless laugh.If I waited for someone to save me, they'd arrive in time to collect my body.What made them think the eldest daughter of the Hathaway family had no way to fight back?I snatched the gun from the guard beside me and, before anyone reacted, aimed it straight at William."I came here to marry William, not to become your maid. If you won't allow that, I'll shoot him, and he can marry me in
