Chapter 7 - The Dramatic Version
Years later, people still told the dramatic version.
The elegant wedding chapel foyer.
The crystal chandeliers.
The white roses.
The marble floor.
Maren standing in her ivory lace gown, burn scars visible across her neck, collarbone, and shoulder.
Grant blocking the chapel doors.
The gray shawl snapping open.
Cover those scars. Now.
Maren saying no.
Grant grabbing her arm.
Dragging the shawl across her shoulders.
Yanking her off balance.
I can bankrupt your groom by breakfast.
Aaron charging between them.
Take your hands off my wife.
The camera panning toward the entrance.
The female admiral stepping forward with the sealed navy folder.
Grant recognizing the insignia.
Grant going pale.
Grant… release her.

It sounded like revenge.
And yes, part of it was.
