Tabitha's POVFor safety reasons, I took a helicopter back to the city.As soon as I got home, Dad rushed over, eager to know if Derek and I had patched things up."How did everything go with Derek today?"Faced with his concerned expression, I had no choice but to lie. "It was all good, Dad. Nothing to worry about. We spent the whole day together.""That's good to know. I was worried you still held a grudge against him. The twins are growing up day by day, and they can sense stuff too. Only when you stay relaxed and happy can they be healthy."With that, he smiled and took me to see his latest work, a beautiful handmade wooden bed."Check this out! I've been working on this crib for days, and finally, it's done."The crib had cute little animals carved into each corner, and they were polished smooth enough that even if the babies bit them, they wouldn't get hurt.There was even a bedbell hanging above it. The crib was so delicate, even c

John's POVI quickly wiped the panic off my face, my brain racing as I tried to come up with an explanation."Just throwing some flower branches I've trimmed into the trash can."Having said that, I chucked a bunch of branches in, covering up the torn invitation perfectly."John, just let us handle the manual labor. You should rest well.""It's okay, moving around a bit will help me recover faster. Has Tabitha gotten up yet?""No, she's been sleeping a lot lately. Sometimes she doesn't wake up until eleven o'clock."Thus, I replied, "It's good to get some extra sleep. By the way, I just remembered today is the birthday of an old friend of mine. Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"Joanna, being as a kind-hearted girl as she was, handed it to me right away without thinking twice. "Here you go."I then dialed a number as I stepped aside.Seeing I was avoiding her, Joanna backed off a bit. She did nothing more than look up to check

Tabitha's POVJoanna recounted what had happened this morning."Come to think of it, John looked like he was trying to stay calm. Before we talked, he seemed to be tearing something apart."With that, she tipped over the trash can that hadn't been cleaned out yet. And something bright red stood out like a sore thumb."What is this?" Joanna scrambled to piece that thing back together. "Oh no, it's the wedding invitation. John must have seen it. And he borrowed my phone before saying he was heading back to his room. Could it be that he was already in the hotel?"My heart sank. "When did it happen?""About half an hour ago.""Shit, get the car ready! I'm heading over there right now! I have to stop Dad!"He hadn't been in touch with the outside world for over two years, so he had no idea what had happened.If he found out about Holly's death and Derek's betrayal in his current state, there was no way he could handle it.I immediately tr

John's POVThe words "pass away" exploded in my mind like fireworks.I felt like I couldn't breathe. My blood seemed to freeze in my veins.My wolf, sensing my agony, whimpered in my mind.My body shook uncontrollably as I grabbed Daphne's hand out of sheer panic. "How did your mom die?""What does it matter to you? Who do you think you are, you country bumpkin! If you don't scram, I'll call security," Daphne shot back at me with a glare.I was reeling from shock, pain, and disbelief all at once.These emotions tangled together, making it hard for me to catch my breath."Are you a friend of my mom's or something?" Daphne scrutinized me with a new look in her eyes that wasn't so hostile anymore.Then she added, "Forget it. It's my wedding day today. Since you're already here, stick around for a drink."Lyrique shot me a glance and sneered, "Get lost already! It's obvious that this is not where you belong. Don't ruin Daphne's big day."

Third person's POVWhen Tabitha saw John collapse, her mind went into a total meltdown, and with a gasp, she fainted right there."Tabitha!"Derek lifted Tabitha up in his arms, while Alvin carried John on his back. They quickly left.Daphne was also left bewildered by the sudden turn of events. How did it end up like this?Seeing Derek carrying Tabitha and leaving, she shouted desperately from behind, "Derek! The ceremony is about to start!"She was anxious to catch Derek, but due to her broken legs, she fell to the ground with a loud bang when she got up abruptly.Now she was no more the noble and decent bride in the most expensive wedding dress, but a pathetic woman whose husband-to-be left her behind. Whispers and chatters started spreading.Lyrique realized that she had screwed it up and quickly helped Daphne up from the ground."Daphne, are you okay?"What she got in return, however, was a hard slap from Daphne. "Bitch! What ha
