Guests were already arriving and piling their way into the mansion. Soft, romantic music filled the air. Looking around, Karen could not find Elliot or Selene."Karen," Mrs Kord placed a hand on her shoulder "I've been meaning to speak with you.""Of course mother," Karen answered as she watched Kevin lean lazily on the body of his car, perhaps waiting for her. He looked hot with that lackadaisical look on his face and Karen had to struggle to concentrate her focus on Mrs Kord."Have you been able to..to speak with Kevin?" she asked, glancing at her son. Although she preferred Karen to Selene as a wife to her son, she knew the pain that Kevin was feeling. As a child, he was always around Selene. Mrs Kord knew long ago

"You haven't wished me congratulations yet," he continued "I'm married now.""You are deceiving her," said KarenElliot chuckled, "I am not. She wants her revenge because Kevin did not stop the wedding and I am the only one who can help her get it."Karen grounded her jaw, "You are creating ideas in her mind that are not true. I saw the look in her eyes this morning. She did not want to marry you but I don't know why she couldn't stop it." Elliot smirked, "Doesn't matter does it? Kevin deceived us into believing that he had divorced you. You also put up a good act that day.""I didn't know it was fake," admitted Karen."Either way, I still haven't forgiven you for coming between my victory the day you stopped Kevin's arrest." he stopped and added with no expression on his face, "I hope you continue to save him because I will not stop."He tightened his grip on her, "I'm warning you for the last time,

Kevin is your son as well!"He raised his eyes to meet hers, "Are you raising your voice at me?""I can't do any of what you want me to do," said Karen ignoring his question. "I might have deceived everyone so I could marry Kevin but if I hadn't, you would have rendered him and his mother penniless. How could you be so heartless?! Now you want me to sign the divorce papers??"Kevin forced his way in, "What divorce papers?""Who told you you could come in?!" roared Mr Kord, "Get out!""I'm leaving with my wife!" Kevin yel
