Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Kathryn believed that everything in the Farrell family belonged to Audrey and the others and should be returned to them. She didn't consider her mother's perspective at all. Fortunately, Kathryn was the matriarch's biological daughter; otherwise, she would have been gone long ago.

After sending Kathryn away, Clarissa felt relieved. If she lived to see another day, she would send someone to bring her daughter back. Even though she couldn't see Kathryn, at least her life was spared. Among Clarissa's four children, only Kathryn wasn't married and didn't have children. The three sons all had families, and their wives had already taken the children back to Holden's hometown for the New Year, following his arrangements.

Holden wanted to protect his side of the family, while Clarissa wanted to protect Kathryn. However, since they were all her grandchildren, she didn't ask her daughtersin-law to bring the children back. She let them stay with the Janzen family for the New Year, keeping them away from the conflict.

Holden did the right thing in this case. He knew how ruthless Clarissa could be and understood that if the children and grandchildren stayed, they wouldn't survive. Despite his warnings, the three sons refused to leave.

Clarissa tightened her lips. Tonight, everything would depend on fate. If they were lucky, they might be saved. If they couldn't escape and were burned in the fire, at least she, their mother, would be with them, and many others would be buried alongside them.
