Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 939

Endora's eyes flashed with a ferocious glint as she was led away by the police in a daze, and Barclay was taken away as well.

Mrs. Doonan was a mess, sobbing and begging Winston to talk to the police, pleading they couldn't just take her precious son away!

Mr. Doonan left the church with a grim expression, not saying a word.

The guests were all over the place, the atmosphere chaotic, but Parker's next move brought everyone to a hushed silence.

Eyes widened as they saw his handsome face cloaked in shadow, his piercing eyes hidden behind stylish glasses, revealing nothing of his inner turmoil as he approached Tiana!

He confidently took the hand of the woman in the pristine white dress. She wore no makeup, yet her simple elegance and vulnerability were striking. Tiana, still reeling from the shock, looked up into his strong, defined hand as he intertwined their fingers. Her heart, which had been still, began to flutter with life, the confrontation with Endora paling in comparison to the shock of Parker's gesture.

What was he doing?!

Her lips parted slightly, Tiana felt the weight of many eyes upon her, as the tall man before her tightened his grip on her fingers, sealing them together with determination.

His scent was familiar and yet imposing.

Trying to break free, Tiana whispered, "Parker, what are you doing? Everyone...is watching."

He glanced down at her, his gaze cold. Was she really that afraid to be close to him?

Perhaps it was out of sheer hatred, but his eyes, filled with uncontrollable emotion, flared with anger.

Leading her forward, Parker moved them back towards the altar.

"Parker...Parker?" Tiana, realizing where he was heading, panicked, tapping on his arm, "The wedding's over, let me go."
