“Pfft!” Kelly laughed, shaking her head. “How grand are we talking about, really?”

Zev caught the teasing tone in her voice and smirked. “It’s going to be huge. Trust me. Once I catch Lucas, I’ll make sure Seaville knows about our wedding. Everyone will see it.”

“Big talk. You really think that’s going to be cheap?” Kelly reached out, taking Zev’s hand and gently helping him settle back into his wheelchair. “We don’t need to blow a ton of money on a fancy wedding. Let’s just gather our friends, have a nice meal, collect some gifts, and make sure we get back what we spend.”

Zev raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been giving out a lot of gifts, haven’t you?”

Kelly nodded. “I’ve sent some money to Melody and the others.”

Zev grinned. “Alright, then. Oscar and Gary better come through with some serious gift money. If they don’t toss in a few hundred grand, they’re not stepping foot inside my place.”

Kelly bit back a laugh. “Mr. Wagner’s not your sugar daddy, Zev. He’s your boss.”

Zev leaned back, holding the marriage certificate and staring at it, grinning like a kid.

Kelly found herself smiling too. How could he be so … happy? It was as though he was glowing, and it made everything around him seem brighter.

Anyone else who had been through what Zev had–being undercover, living in constant fear, enduring all that torment–would have snapped by now.

They’d be broken, or worse, consumed by depression.

But Zev? It was like the sun always found its way to him.

“Zev“…” Kelly whispered, her hand rising almost instinctively, as if she could touch the warmth around him.

The way he acted like nothing was wrong made her heart ache more. She didn’t understand why it hurt, but it did.

“Hm? Changed your mind?” Zev’s eyes narrowed as he saw her hand move toward him. He quickly pulled the certificates closer to his chest. “It’s too late for that now.”

Kelly gave him a serious look, but her smile didn’t fade. “Zev, I promise I’ll try my best. If I mess up, let me know. I’ll do better.”

Zev shrugged nonchalantly, mumbling, “I wouldn’t dare. You’re in charge at home. You’ve got the final say.”

Kelly pushed him toward the door, but just as they reached the exit, she noticed Eric standing there. His face was drawn, as if he hadn’t slept in days.

Kelly had always known their every move was being watched–by the Lynches, by Eric’s people—but she didn’t expect him to show up so soon.

“You … you really got married?” Eric’s voice was strained, as if he could hardly believe it.

Zev’s words only made the moment sweeter. He remembered how Eric used to walk around with such arrogance. Seeing him like this felt like victory.

Eric clenched his fists, his face turning red with anger. He was shaking, his voice breaking. “Kelly … why are you doing this to me?”

Kelly didn’t say a word. She simply stood there, staring at him, silent.

Zev scoffed, watching Eric closely. “Have some pride, man. Today’s supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life, so I don’t want to get physical with you. But seriously, take a hint.”

Eric’s smirk was sharp. “Your legs may be broken, but your mouth is still working just fine,” he sneered, not the least bit intimidated by Zev in the wheelchair.

Zev’s anger surged. “I might be sitting here with broken legs, but I can still take a swing if I feel like it.”

Eric’s fists clenched, his whole body tense. His eyes locked onto Kelly. “How did you end up with someone like him? He’s got issues. Don’t you worry he’ll snap one day and hurt you? You may hate me, but this… this is beneath you.”

Zev’s blood boiled. “You’ve lost your mind. Only a pathetic excuse for a man would ever lay a hand on a woman.”

Kelly stepped in, her grip tight on Zev’s wheelchair, stopping him before he could react.
