Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1427

In this world, there are countless stories of heroes whose sacrifices go untold.

Take the undercover agents and narcotics officers who died horrible deaths far from home—their photos and heroic deeds are rarely revealed to the public. Usually, their identities only come out when there’s no family left who could be targeted for revenge.

That’s the harsh reality—protecting their loved ones from retaliation.

The reason Elizabeth and Kendrick’s story couldn’t be made public was simple: the real Eighth Generation virus still hadn’t been found, and the crisis wasn’t over. If the truth got out, panic would spread like wildfire.

Mass hysteria is a monster of its own. The government would do anything to avoid it.

People talk about peace and prosperity, but the truth is, it’s all built on the backs of those who shoulder the danger for us.

Elizabeth was being escorted by government agents to make sure her name was cleared, to honor her as the hero she was. They couldn’t let her sacrifice—or Kendrick’s—be forgotten. The country owed them that much.

But then you had people like Allegra and her crew. They enjoyed the safety and privileges earned by these heroes, yet showed no gratitude. Instead, they spread lies, hurled insults, and even cursed the names of the fallen.

People like that deserve the harshest judgment.

As Tarquin walked forward, holding the urn with Elizabeth’s ashes, Soren’s voice rang out, cold and commanding.

“Don’t take them away yet. Bring them along to the cemetery. I want them to see Elizabeth and Kendrick laid to rest together with their own eyes,” he ordered. “If any of them so much as utters a word of disrespect, double their sentence. If they want to rot in prison, let them keep talking.”
