I called Michael—my friend, my lawyer, my supposed church buddy.
“I need a prenuptial agreement,” I said. “A firm agreement. Everything stays mine.”
He designed it and brought it to Daniel.
The walls shook with screams.
“Prenuptial agreement? Now?!”
“Sign,” I said.
“That’s offensive!”
“In that case, there will be no wedding.”
“I love you, Cora!”
“No, you love what you think I can fix.”
I held up the envelope. “Your words. Your plan.”
Daniel turned to Evan. “You little traitor.”
I stepped between them. “He did the right thing.”
Daniel crushed the prenuptial agreement in his fist and threw it on the floor.
“We’re done,” I said. And off I went—past the bouquet of flowers, the aisle, the guests sitting in silence and consternation.
“The wedding is off,” I said. “Thank you all for coming.” Freedom and Consequences
I walked with Evan at my side.
“Are you okay?” he asked quietly in the car.
“Yes,” I replied. “Thank you.”
“Do you hate me?”
