Outside the VIP hospital room, the Hayes family elders who\u2019d rushed over cornered Zachary. He reeked of alcohol and his clothes were a mess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judith Hayes, Zachary\u2019s grandmother, pointed through the doorway at Elowen, who was hooked up to monitors and tubes. \u201cZachary, what the hell did you do? Your mother was perfectly fine this morning. Why is she in the hospital with a heart attack?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, I don\u2019t know\u2026\u201d Zachary\u2019s mind was spinning. He couldn\u2019t wrap his head around how he\u2019d just been drinking at home to forget his problems, and then he woke up to find his entire world had fallen apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler quickly stepped in to explain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Zachary got drunk, he slept with Kristen, and then the Reeves family showed up demanding they get married. The two families got into a massive fight, and in all the chaos, Elowen collapsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judith slapped Zachary hard across the face. \u201cZachary, I\u2019m so dissapointed! I thought after everything that happened three years ago, you\u2019d finally grow up, but here we are again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned and glared at Kristen with pure disgust. \u201cWhy do you keep getting mixed up with this woman? She\u2019s a disaster! Three years ago, this woman put you in a wheelchair. If it wasn\u2019t for Autumn, you wouldn\u2019t even be walking today. Now she\u2019s got your mother in the ICU fighting for her life. Are you happy now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Vanessa heard someone calling her precious daughter names, she snapped back. \u201cMadam Hayes, your grandson forced himself on my daughter. That\u2019s sexual assault. The only reason we haven\u2019t called the police and had him arrested is because these two already had their wedding and they care about each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just wanted them to make it legal with a marriage license and give our daughter some protection. How were we supposed to know your family would react like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, what are you talking about?\u201d Kristen shot Vanessa a glare before throwing herself into Zachary\u2019s arms, tears welling up in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cZachary, don\u2019t listen to my mom. What happened today was just an accident. I only told my parents I was worried because you were so drunk. How was I supposed to know you\u2019d force me to sleep with you? Or that they\u2019d show up right when it happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary instinctively wrapped his arms around her. He couldn\u2019t blame Kristen for what happened when he was wasted. Even though everything was fuzzy, he vaguely remembered\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019d mistaken her for Autumn, and Kristen had just not pushed him away. How was that her fault? When it came down to it, he was the one who screwed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, Kristen didn\u2019t do anything wrong. This is on me. I promise I\u2019ll make things right with everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judith let out a harsh laugh. \u201cOh really? I\u2019d love to see how you plan to fix this mess.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside city hall, Zachary stood holding their brand-new marriage license without even a hint of a smile on his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kristen, on the other hand, was practically glowing. She\u2019d finally gotten exactly what she wanted, and all her anxiety from the past few days just melted away. From now on, no one could compete with her for Zachary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cZachary, are you free today? My parents know we got married and they want to celebrate with\u00a0<\/p>\n
us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary frowned and tugged at his tie. \u201cCan\u2019t. I\u2019ve got work stuff to handle. You go ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His assistant had just called about some important document that needed his immediate attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kristen\u2019s smile froze for a second, but she recovered quickly. \u201cOh, that\u2019s okay. I\u2019ll just tell them we\u2019ll celebrate another day. I\u2019ll come with you to the office instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary didn\u2019t really care either way. He just muttered \u201csure\u201d and told the driver to head straight to the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second they walked through the office doors, Kristen couldn\u2019t wait to announce her new status as Zachary\u2019s wife to everyone in sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She told her bodyguards to hand out the gifts she\u2019d prepared ahead of time to everyone at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary ignored her completely and took the file from his assistant. As he read through it line by line, his expression turned into pure rage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
