Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 980

Lowell froze for a moment before it clicked, and his mood instantly improved.

"You're right, absolutely right! Sending him to jail would be too easy on him; he deserves to go straight to hell!"

The freedom abroad couldn't compare to back home!

At home, the law restricts you, making you think twice before acting. But abroad, it's far easier to make someone's life a living nightmare without much effort!

Soon after, Gideon left the country with a reckless joy in his heart, thanks to Tarquin's arrangements.

He thought he was escaping domestic legal repercussions to enjoy a life of luxury abroad.

In reality, he was flying straight into his own personal hell!

From the moment he crossed the border, his torture was set to begin!

Gideon, this earthly demon, was done for!

Lowell, looking up at the sky, mused, "What goes around, comes around. Who can escape their fate? Do wrong, and you'll pay eventually!"

Tarquin, quietly smoking, had his mind free from thoughts of Verity and the mysterious figure, focusing instead on Kelsey, the Inkster family, and Elizabeth...

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was the police, informing him that Keith's matter had been settled, and it was time to claim the body.

Tarquin flicked his cigarette ash, looking up at the sky, wondering if Keith knew Gideon was done for, and if that meant he could rest in peace now.

After a moment of silence, Tarquin said to Lowell, "Let's head to the police station."

...

After visiting the police station and then the cemetery, Tarquin finally went home.

It was past ten in the morning when he arrived.

Evan, Emmett and Baby were in the living room, playing with Lan, who was full of energy, hopping around the three little ones.

Seeing them, Tarquin immediately thought of Keith, his eyes darkening.

Border City had its share of tough men, their hearts gone too soon.

Some people are just born to suffer!

Keith's life was short and filled with hardship, wrongdoings, and eventually, death because of Baby.

It's hard to judge him entirely; his life was tragic, and death was perhaps a release.
