Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 937

Elysia was visibly moved by Tarquin's actions.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she choked out,

"Keith's time on earth was just too hard. Alive, he had to witness his whole family being taken from him. And in death, he couldn't even avenge them and needed strangers to handle his last rites... Let's find him a nice spot in the cemetery, lay him to rest, so he can finally find peace."

"Agreed."

Tarquin comforted her,

"Death might be a release for Keith. No more mental torment, he can finally rest, reunite with his family in the beyond.

The only thing he worried about was Baby, knowing she's with us will let him rest easy. His only regret was not avenging his family, and I told him, I'd take care of his vengeance for him."

Elysia looked at him with worry in her eyes.

Tarquin understood her concern,

"Don't worry, I won't resort to violence. The Bradfords aren’t worth dirtying my hands over; I'll make them suffer in other ways."

With that, Tarquin turned to Elliot and Evan,

"Take your mom and sister home, look after them. I've got some things to take care of, but I'll be home soon."

The boys nodded in unison, "Okay!"

Elliot, Evan, and Elysia left the abandoned factory, taking Baby back to their sprawling estate.

Tarquin made arrangements with the authorities, asking them to contact him once the investigation was concluded, taking it upon himself to arrange Keith's funeral.

The wind picked up, swirling the leaves on the ground into the air, towards the heavens, much like a soul leaving the earth for the unknown.

Keith had truly departed from this cold and cruel world, leaving behind his beloved Baby!

From now on, Keith would be no more in this world, and Baby would forever miss the man who loved her dearly.
