Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 915

After plotting for over two decades, perhaps even longer, what was the ultimate goal?

Was it simply to see the Bradford family in ruins?

What kind of grudge, deep-seated hatred, or compelling connection could drive someone to orchestrate such an elaborate plan?

If the aim was to ruin the Bradford family, why wait so long to act?

Was it a lack of capability back then, or were there other reasons?

Moreover...

It had been confirmed that the strange messages Elysia had been receiving, some from Keith and others from a mysterious sender, were indeed part of this plot.

Keith's interest in Elysia was understandable; he was motivated by Baby, wanting to bring Elysia back home.

But what about the mysterious sender?

He seemed intent on using Elysia to harm him, leading her to kill him, yet he didn't use the child to forcibly threaten Elysia into compliance.

He appeared rather lenient towards Elysia.

He even affectionately called her "Little Elysia," as an elder might address a younger family member.

But if he had a connection to Elysia, why did he watch her suffer through pregnancy and hardship without intervening?

Even when Keith sent them off to a secluded cabin in the woods, he did nothing.

This was not how an elder shows love!

His intentions towards Elysia were perplexing.

Tarquin furrowed his brows, regardless of the speculation, the mysterious figure was a definite threat!

They needed to uncover him soon for the family to get back on track.

"Notify our informants to keep an eye on Farmjoy Estate, pull back before reaching the foothills to avoid alerting them! Contact me with any developments!"

After hanging up, Tarquin placed his phone on the desk, reaching for a packet of cigarettes and a lighter.

But then he thought of Elysia and the kids, and obediently put them down.

Elysia and the children were keeping him in check about quitting smoking, and he had to listen to his wife and kids.

Rubbing his temples, he stood up and left the study.

Outside, the backyard was a picture of tranquility.

Elysia was playing with the kids and a rabbit, thrilled because Baby was staying over for the night.

Tarquin's heart fluttered, recalling what Elysia whispered to him in front of the store today. He coughed lightly to steady himself, hands in pockets as he descended the stairs.
