Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1649

“Besides,” Winona continued, “you know she has a thing with Keaton. Even if I wanted to hurt her, he wouldn’t let me.”

Elysia asked, “Then what are you planning to do?”

“I’m going to shatter her fantasy, once and for all,” Winona said. “So she can never get her claws into Keaton again, and so she stays far, far away from Janelle and Richard for the rest of her life.”

Elysia was speechless. Just as she was about to ask another question, a group of people appeared at the door. “Ms. Newsom!”

Winona glanced toward the entrance with a smile, then turned back to Elysia. “Go ahead and wake Beatrix up. Once she’s awake, you can head out. I’ll wait for you in the hallway.”

With that, she walked over to Keaton, grabbed his arm, and pulled him toward the door. As they walked, she announced to the room, “Everyone, get ready! The main event is about to begin. Time to witness a little magic.”

At her words, everyone in the room stood up. Sophus even called out to his daughters, reminding them not to forget the livestream. The Huber-Sutton union was a monumental honor for his family, and he needed the world to know.

Elysia watched Winona’s retreating back, still confused. She didn’t know what was coming next, but she walked over to Beatrix and administered a treatment to wake her.

A moment later, Beatrix’s eyes fluttered open.

Elysia gave Winona a nod and then walked toward the door with Tarquin.

Winona flipped off the main lights, plunging the room into darkness. But in the next second, colorful mood lighting flickered on, and soft, romantic music began to play.

Winona looked at the young man in the hallway. “Tate, are you ready?”

The young man, wearing glasses and a white suit and holding a bouquet of flowers, took a deep breath. “I’m ready!”

Winona smiled. “Then please, go on in. And good luck.”

His professor and classmates in the hallway whispered their support. “You got this!”

“Right!” Holding the flowers in one hand and a microphone in the other, the young man entered the room. The colored lights obscured his face.
