Everyone laughed when they sent an eighty-year-old man and his eighteen-year-old wife off to spend their wedding night together. “Let’s see if Grandpa can make it until morning,” one relative joked through a burst of laughter. He didn’t respond. He simply picked up his old briefcase and closed the door. When six relatives opened it the next morning, they stopped laughing when they discovered what he had been protecting all night.

The wedding was organized rapidly and made very public to send a clear signal to the harassment group.

However, there was one vital detail that Walter did not reveal to Chloe until they were locked safely inside their hotel room that night.

His attorney had successfully identified one of the key men who had been stalking her building, and that very same man had been sitting directly among the guests at their wedding reception, pretending to toast the newlyweds.

When Walter showed her the crisp photograph from his briefcase, Chloe stopped breathing for a terrifying second.
