She’d been emotional, but everything she’d said was true.

Today was supposed to be a happy day. Instead, no one had anything to smile about.

Lucas looked at her, pulled the car over, unbuckled his seatbelt, and reached across to pull her into his

arms.

Lynn’s guilt and fear came rushing out all at once, impossible to hold back.

She was terrified for Ruben. And she blamed herself for tearing the Moore family apart.

Lucas was stuck in the middle–what must he be thinking?

Petra already had it out for her now. If things went south with Lucas, she’d be cut off from the entire family.

Lucas held her tighter. “Don’t blame yourself. They needed to know.”

While there was still time to fix things, better they found out now.

Over at Charles‘ place, they’d already moved out of the family home that night, Sandy with them.

“I broke your family apart… Lynn’s voice cracked.

The guilt was eating her alive.

Right now, she felt like a disaster–wandering, homeless, toxic.

“Lynn, you didn’t do anything wrong. Stop blaming yourself. One day, the Moores will thank you for this.” Lucas cupped her face in his hands.

He frowned, his chest aching at the sight of her swollen red eyes.

“No more crying. It kills me to see you like this. We still have to see your parents. If you walk in there looking like this, how are they supposed to feel okay?”

Lynn tried hard to stop the tears.

That only made it worse for Lukas. “If you keep crying I’m going to have to kiss you.”

The threat worked–her thoughts snapped back into focus.

Lucas couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

He grabbed a wet wipe from the glove compartment. Here. Clean yourself up.”

Lynn took it quietly and dried her face.

Lucas drove her to the hospital.

Betty had been admitted. After getting back from the wedding, everything had finally caught up with her.

Lucas had people keeping an eye on them–he’d been worried they might do something drastic because of Ruben. The minute Betty went down, his team got her to the hospital and let Lucas know

They stood outside the hospital room.

Lynn wanted to go in, but Lucas stopped her.

He glanced through the window at Gordon, asleep in the chair next to Betty’s bed, then pulled Lynn aside.

They’re exhausted. If you go in now, it’ll only make it worse. And look at you.” Lucas touched her cheek gently. “They see you like this, they’ll just start worrying about you instead.”

They’d kept Ruben’s situation from Lynn this whole time because they wanted her to focus on the wedding. No extra stress.

With the Murphy family in trouble, Lucas was her best shot at stability. They didn’t want anything messing

the marriage between their families.

Lucky for them, Lucas actually cared about her now. Otherwise, the Murphys would’ve been done for

Lynn’s tears started falling again, despite herself. Lucas was right.

Everyone wanted her to be happy. Gordon had probably just managed to fall asleep. Walking in now would mean a long, sleepless night for all of them.

“I’m tired too, Lucas said, taking her hand.

That snapped her back. They’d both been going all day and tonight was supposed to be their wedding night.

Lucas had clearly been looking forward to this for a long time.

Lucas brought the exhausted Lynn back to their new place.

Watching him walk ahead of her, she felt her opinion of him shift.

Turned out, being with this guy wasn’t so bad after all.

When they got upstairs, Lynn planned to quickly clean up the mess she’d left behind before Lucas came

But when she stepped into the walk–in closet, everything was back in place. Exactly as it had been before. Except for the wedding ring she’d taken off, every single thing was arranged neatly where it belonged.

She searched frantically–drawers, boxes, nothing.

Panic set in. This was her ring from Lucas.

Lynn crouched down, scanning the carpet.

“Looking for something?” Lucas appeared in the doorway.

Lynn stood slowly, guilt all over her face. “I… I think I lost the ring.”

Lucas looked at her pitiful expression, walked over, and took her hand. “You didn’t lose it.”

He pulled the ring from his pocket and slid it back onto her finger.

Lynn stared at it, then looked up at him.

He looked back.

“Go take a shower. It’s late,” Lucas said.

Lynn nodded.

It was already three in the morning.

Lucas showered in the guest room and was now leaning against the headboard, reading a text from Trevor.

When Lynn came out of the bathroom, she was wearing the negligee Diana had given her as a wedding gift–sheer, barely there, just skimming her thighs.

Lucas glanced at her, then looked away. But the image had already registered. His eyes widened slightly, and his grip on the phone tightened without him noticing.

Lynn tugged at the hem, every part of her tense with nerves–even her toes. She made her way toward him cautiously.

Lucas‘ gaze flickered. He couldn’t bring himself to look directly at her.

Lynn’s sudden move was hard to misinterpret.

She’d accepted this arranged marriage and said she liked him, but the way she held herself now felt less like desire and more like surrender. Like she was offering herself up.
