Chapter 2: Who Is Marcus?
PART 2 ⬇️
Mom's voice cut through the entire ballroom.
"You're going to embarrass this family in front of everyone?"
I didn't raise my voice.
"I'm not embarrassing anyone, Mom.
I'm running a business."
Tyler was still holding the menu card.
He turned it over slowly, read the invoice number, and set it down without a word.
Megan grabbed my arm.
"Fix this right now, Daniel.
I'm not joking."
"Neither am I," I said.
"I never was."
She looked at the single plate sitting at the center of her head table.
Three slices of beef.
Two asparagus spears.
Enough for maybe one guest out of fifteen at that table alone.
Her face crumpled.
"You planned this.
You actually planned all of this."
I looked her in the eye.
"You planned it too, Megan.
You just planned it two months before I did."
The room was completely still.
One hundred fifty people in formal wear staring at three slices of beef.
Then Tyler stood up.
He straightened his jacket.
Reached into his inner pocket.
And pulled out his phone.
Mom stopped screaming.
Because he wasn't calling anyone.
He was reading something.
Something on his screen that made the color drain from his face.
He looked at Megan.
"Who is Marcus?"

What Tyler found on that phone changed everything about this wedding — and this family.
