Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Tarquin's brow furrowed deeply as he glanced towards Verity. Had that phone call been from him?

What had he said to Verity? Had he threatened her?

Noticing his gaze, Verity looked at him through tear-soaked eyes before lowering her head again, softly sobbing.

With too many prying eyes around, Tarquin couldn't afford a private conversation with Verity just yet. He had no choice but to let the police take her away for now.

"Keep someone on her. Let me know immediately if anything comes up."

Josiah nodded, "Understood!"

Just as Verity was taken away, Tarquin's phone rang. It was Elliot.

"Dad, when are you coming home?" The little guy sounded serious.

"What's up?"

"Elijah and I stumbled upon something big!"

"What is it?"

"...Let's talk when you get back."

Tarquin was suspicious. What kind of secret had they uncovered?
