Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 715

Keith's heart clenched as he fast-forwarded the video to the end, only to find Tarquin alone in the room. Squinting his eyes at the camera, Tarquin pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and held it up to the lens. With a crisp tearing sound, he ripped it in half.

It felt to Keith as though it wasn't just the paper being torn, but his heart as well.

Tarquin's provocative gaze never left the camera as he continued to tear the paper into shreds, scattering them in front of the lens before leaving a warning look and walking away. The pieces fluttered down to the floor...

Breathing heavily, Keith felt as if the torn paper mirrored his shattered heart.

Everyone has something they cherish deeply, and Keith was no different.

He had moved to Jindale City, leaving behind his beloved sanctuary. That cabin, nestled away, held countless treasures of his heart.

It was his refuge, his secret hideout, the place he valued above all others.

And that paper came from there.

The fact that Tarquin had it meant he'd discovered Keith's sanctuary. How did he find it? Who told him?

Keith dared not think of what had become of the place now...

In his urgency, Keith stumbled out of bed, barely pausing to throw on some clothes before he headed for the door. Just then, his phone buzzed with a video from an unknown number.

It showed a cozy cabin in the woods, engulfed in flames. The crackling fire consumed the wood, the cabin collapsing into ashes before his eyes.
