Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 263

Before dawn could even hint at its arrival, the streetlights outside were a dim glow against the pervasive darkness.

Elliot scanned the area, but the enigmatic figure he was certain had crossed paths with him and Evan before was nowhere in sight.

He was convinced it was the same masked figure they had encountered before. Downstairs, hidden in the shadows, the figure had let out a chilling, sinister laugh directed at him. It was clear the man knew Elliot would come.

For days, Elliot had been on the hunt for clues about him but to no avail. Yet, today, the man had appeared near Elijah's home, of all places.

Elliot was here to prepare the speech for the ceremony.
