After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 90

Elijah immediately pushed the doubt aside. Impossible. Gloria was obsessed with him.

Making her stop loving him would hurt her more than death itself. This had to be another of her games—playing hard to get.

His eyes hardened. Whatever she was planning, it wouldn't work. He'd never love her. Jenna was and would always be the only one.

Forcing his attention back to his bride, he spoke his vows with careful emphasis:

"Jenna, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, I take you as my wife. I'l never leave you. In this life and all lives to come, you're the only one for me."

Tears welled in Jenna's eyes as she responded, pulling him into a passionate kiss.

The wedding went perfectly smooth. None of the disasters Elijah had feared materialized. No dramatic interruptions, no issues with his bride's health. His friends even commented that he seemed more focused than ever.

Only Elijah knew the truth-his mind had been elsewhere. A certain face kept appearing in his thoughts, disturbing his concentration.

While Jenna rested in their suite, he retrieved his phone from the wedding coordinator. His body went rigid when he saw the red exclamation point by his message.
