The sight of an older woman clad in red robes came into view. "Oh, my heavens, you are just as lovely as her." My lips curled in a shy smile as the woman advanced forward, "Who are you, please?"

His eyes were bloodshot, his gaze locked on my hand, now overlapping with Killian's. "You are my wife. You are betraying your husband! This is a betrayal of the family's honor!" Killian recognized the crazed Capo at once. He knew my history with Carter and stepped forward, shielding me behind him. "Carter, if the alcohol has fried your brain, I don't mind helping you sober up." "You and Maeve are long divorced. She's a free woman now, and it's her right to marry whomever she pleases." "Shut up!"
