The shattered crystal echoed across the mansion as every conversation stopped. Guests exchanged uneasy glances before slowly turning back toward the three little boys standing beside me. Their identical gray eyes, dark wavy hair, and unmistakable Montgomery features erased every excuse the family could have invented.
Ethan stood frozen at the altar.
His face had lost all color.
His bride looked from him to the children, silently searching for an explanation that never came.
