Marrying His Uncle
The disruption did nothing to shake us.
We continued with the ceremony as planned—reciting our vows, exchanging rings, sealing them with a tender kiss under the witness of family and friends.
Applause thundered.
On his knees in the grass, John stared in disbelief at the beaming Harlem family. What was left to question? Everyone knew who Matt was marrying. Everyone. And no one had told him, fearing exactly this scene.
Across from him, Samantha sat frozen, her mind reeling. She had never imagined my fate would turn so sweet. Abandoned by John, only to rise as his aunt.
