ON MY WEDDING NIGHT Fifty Eight:The Confession
SUSAN The warehouse went silent.Cole was sitting in the chair with his hands tied and his face bruised and his eyes on me.Marcus was standing in front of him with a gun in his hand and his jaw tight and his finger on the trigger.And I was standing in the doorway with my gun raised and my heart pounding and the words still hanging in the air.I'm the one who killed your father."What did you say?"Cole didn't look away."I said I'm the one who killed your father."Marcus turned the gun on him."You're lying.""I'm not lying.""You're trying to save yourself.""I'm trying to tell the truth."Marcus pressed the gun to Cole's forehead."Give me one reason I shouldn't pull this trigger."Cole looked at him."Because I'm the only one who knows where Victor keeps his records. The real records. The ones that prove everything. The ones that can bring him down."Marcus didn't move."You're bluffing.""Am I?"Marcus stared at him.Then he lowered the gun.---SUSAN I walked toward them."St
ON MY WEDDING NIGHT Sixty:The Agent
SUSAN We met Sarah Chen at a diner in Brooklyn.It was four in the morning. The place was empty. The kind of diner that stayed open all night for people who had nowhere else to go.She was already there when we walked in. Sitting in a booth in the back. A cup of coffee in front of her. Her badge on the table. Her gun on her hip.She looked up when she saw us."Mrs. Reed. Mr. Reed.""Agent Chen."She gestured to the booth."Sit."We sat.She looked at us. At our faces. At the way we were sitting. At the way Noah kept glancing at the door."You look like hell.""We've had a long night.""I can imagine." She took a sip of her coffee. "I got a call from my supervisor this morning. He told me to drop the Andre case. He told me it was being handled by a different department. He told me to focus on something else.""And?""And I didn't listen. I kept digging. I found things. Things that didn't make sense.""What kind of things?"She pulled out a folder. Set it on the table."Financial recor
ON MY WEDDING NIGHT Fifty Seven: The Man with the Ring
SUSAN We left Noah's mother's house at midnight.Noah didn't speak. He walked to the car. Got in. Stared out the window. I drove.The city was quiet. The streets were empty. The whole world felt like it was holding its breath.I pulled into a parking lot. Killed the engine."Noah."He didn't answer."Noah."He turned his head. Looked at me."She knew.""I know.""She knew my father was murdered. She knew who did it. And she never told me.""I know.""She let me blame myself for ten years. She let me hate myself. She let me think I killed him.""I know."He didn't answer.I reached over. Took his hand."She was scared. She was trying to protect you.""She was trying to protect herself.""Maybe. But she was also trying to protect you."He pulled his hand away."I don't want to talk about her.""Okay.""I want to talk about the man with the ring."I looked at him."Victor said the man who killed my father had a ring. Thomas said the same thing. Nonso said the same thing. And now your mo
ON MY WEDDING NIGHT Fifty Six:The Mother
SUSAN Noah didn't move.He stood there with the phone in his hand and his face pale and his eyes on the photograph. His mother. Standing next to Victor Kane. Shaking his hand. Smiling."That's not her," he said."Noah.""That's not my mother. It's a trick. Victor is trying to turn us against each other."I took the phone from his hand. Scrolled to the next photograph.His mother again. Standing outside a building. A building I recognized. A building from my father's files."This was taken three years ago," I said. "The same year your father died. The same year my father died."Noah stared at the screen."She was there.""She was there."He sat down on the couch. Put his head in his hands."My mother. My own mother.""Noah.""She knew. She knew everything. She knew about the network. She knew about Victor. She knew about my father. She knew about everything.""We don't know that.""She was standing next to him. She was shaking his hand. She was smiling.""That doesn't mean she was inv
ON MY WEDDING NIGHT Fifty Five:The Offer
SUSAN The call came at midnight.I was in the kitchen. Noah was asleep. The apartment was quiet. The city was quiet. The whole world felt like it was holding its breath.My phone buzzed. Unknown number.I picked it up."Mrs. Reed."The voice was calm. Polite. The voice of a man who'd been doing this for thirty years and had never been caught."Victor Kane.""You know who I am.""I know enough.""Then you know why I'm calling.""You want to meet.""I want to meet.""Alone.""Alone."I looked at the bedroom door. Noah was still asleep."Why would I meet you?""Because I have something you want.""What?""Everything. The files. The evidence. The names. Everything you need to bring down what's left of the network.""And in return?""You walk away. You and Noah. You leave the city. You leave the country. You start a new life somewhere else. And you never come back."I didn't answer."Mrs. Reed.""I'm here.""Think about it. You and your husband. A new life. A new start. No more running. N
ON MY WEDDING NIGHT Fifty Four:The Woman in the Shadows
SUSAN Joana stepped into the light.She looked different than she had in the abandoned house. Cleaner. Calmer. She was wearing a dark sweater and jeans. Her hair was pulled back. Her face was still pale. Her eyes were still sharp.But there was something else. Something I hadn't seen before.She looked tired."Mrs. Reed," she said."Joana.""You look surprised.""I am surprised. I thought you were in custody.""I was. Then I wasn't.""How?"She smiled."Victor."I felt my chest tighten."He got you out.""He got me out. He got Cole out. He got Andre out. He got everyone out.""Where's Andre now?""Somewhere safe. Somewhere you'll never find him."I looked at Marcus."You're working with her?"Marcus didn't answer."Marcus.""I'm working with Victor. Joana is working with Victor. We're all working with Victor. That's how this works.""You're supposed to be helping my father.""I was helping your father. Until he got himself killed. Then I started helping myself."I stared at him."You
