Chapter 8 - The Wedding Was Interrupted by the Man Who Started It All
Their wedding took place six months later.
Small.
Private.
No politicians.
No criminals.
Just friends, family, hospital coworkers, and the people who had watched Adrian rebuild his life.
Claire walked down the aisle.
Adrian cried.
Daniel whispered, “Boss, you're ruining your reputation.”
Adrian ignored him.
Then the doors exploded open.
Victor.
Everyone froze.
Victor raised a gun.
He looked at Claire.
“You ruined everything.”
Claire stepped in front of Adrian.
“No.”
Victor laughed.
“You think you're brave.”
“No.”
She looked directly at him.
“I know I'm loved.”
Police surrounded the building.
Victor had expected fear.
Instead, he found witnesses.
Every person in the room had evidence against him.
He had nowhere to run.
He dropped the gun.
As police arrested him, he looked at Adrian.
“You could have ruled New York.”

Adrian smiled faintly.
“I'd rather come home.”
