Chapter 17 - The Wedding Nobody ExpectedThey didn't announce their reconciliation.

They didn't invite the press.

They simply disappeared for a weekend.

Three days later, photographs surfaced online.

Alexander and Evelyn had remarried in a quiet ceremony overlooking the Hudson River.

No diamonds.

No celebrity guests.

No extravagant production.

Just two people standing beneath an old oak tree.

Alexander took Evelyn's hands.

"I loved you when I was poor."

She smiled.

"You were never poor."

"I felt poor."

She laughed.

"And now?"

"Now I know what rich really means."

He kissed her.

For the first time in years, Evelyn felt peace.

But as the sun disappeared behind the river, her phone vibrated.

One message.

From an unknown number.
