Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Just as Josh was about to turn away , two sleek SUVs pulled ip in front of Duncan Out stepped the Millington and Leverton family members , along with a fumming Heather .
Janet , Duncans mother , stormed forward and slapped him hard across the face .
You ungrateful brat ! Walking out on Heather in the middle of your wedding what were you thinking ?! Duncan said nothing , silently enduring Janets tirade .
Heather approached , but when she saw Duncan cradling Audreys lifeless body , her face twitched .
Had Duncan figured everything out ? Or had Audrey said something before she died ? Duncan , you … Audreys back .
Heather , I wont marry you .
Its over .

Duncans voice was cold , robotic .
Janet froze , finally noticing Audrey in Duncans arms .
The color drained from her face .
Audrey was dead .
Duncans father , Seamus , along with Heathers parents , approached .
They knew about Audrey , Duncans ex- girlfriend .
A year ago , she had run off with another man after taking Duncans money .
But why was she now lying dead in his arms ? Whats going on , son ? Seamus asked , sensing the gravity of the situation .
Duncan wouldnt have agreed to marry Heather if he were still hung up on his ex Dad , Im marrying Audrey .
Today , Duncan declared , his tone brooking no argument .
Youve lost your mind ! You want to marry a corpse ? Janet was apoplectic .
Heather stood there , stunned .
Duncan , no … you cant … I wont allow it ! You cant marry Audrey , especially not when shes dead ! You cant ! Heather grabbed Duncans arm , trying to pull him away , but he looked down at Audrey , completely ignoring her .
Duncan must be out of his mind , Heathers father , Carl Leverton , fumed .
The whole city knows youre marrying my daughter today , and now youre backing out ? Do you think our family is a joke ? Carl , calm down .
Give Duncan some time .
Im sure hell sort this out , Seamus interjected , knowing better than to make decisions for his son .
This was Duncans life , after all .
Tired of arguing , Duncan held Audrey tighter and kept walking .
But Heather , unwilling to let go , pulled at him , screaming and trying to yank Audreys body from his arms , Duncan , let go ! I wont let you carry a dead woman ! Youre my groom you cant carry a corpse on our wedding day , especially not Audrey ! Heathers true colors emerged as soon as Duncan said he would marry Audrey instead .
Duncan held Audrey tighter , refusing to let go , but Heather almost succeeded in pulling her from his arms .
Touch her one more time , Heather , and Ill kill you right here ! Duncans voice was glacial , filled with deadly intent .
Heather froze in terror , and the elders around them were equally shocked .
Duncan had completely lost it after Audreys death .
No matter how bitter and resentful Heather felt , she knew better than to push Duncan any further .
Audreys death wasnt just a line Duncan wouldnt let her cross it was a live wire , a lethal boundary .
Touch it , and death was certain .
