"I could've sworn I blocked everyone in Serena's family from seeing it. But maybe... maybe I accidentally missed Grandma."
The moment those words left her mouth, every piece fell into place.
She'd deliberately blocked me from seeing the post but conveniently left it visible to the one person I loved most in this world. My grandmother. The woman who had been counting down the days to our marriage registration. The woman who treasured Phil like her own grandson.
Seeing those photos would have destroyed her.
I locked my gaze on Phil and Clarissa, and every word I spoke came out low and razor-edged.
"If anything happens to my grandmother, I will make you both pay with your lives."
Phil froze. In that split second of stunned silence, I shoved him aside and stormed out of the registration office without looking back.
The moment I collapsed into the back seat of a cab, every wall I'd built crumbled.
I pressed both hands over my face, but the broken, muffled sobs tore out of me anyway, filling the small space of the car with a grief I couldn't swallow down.
Grandma was the only family I had left in this world.
