A Marriage Made For Show

Chapter 11

Callum refused to believe it was Harper's body. "It can't be Harper." With bloodshot eyes, he stared Logan down. "Harper isn't dead. She is just waiting for me to bring her back, isn't she?" Logan looked torn under the question. Even though the body was bloated beyond recognition , he recognized that silk wedding dress right away. He had brought it back for Callum himself , and there was only one like it in the world. There was no doubt about who it was.

But when he saw Callum break down, he swallowed his words. Olivia rushed to the beach as soon as she got the news. "T'm so sorry for your loss, Callum." Logan breathed a sigh of relief when Olivia showed up. He quickly stepped back to give Olivia and Callum some space. She glanced at the body, then turned away in disgust. She covered her nose with a cloth and ordered the bodyguards, ''Take care of the body already." She patted Callum on the shoulder .

"I'll make sure ---- she is laid to rest with dignity. It's the least we can do for what she had with you." Callum's face was drained of color as he fixed his gaze on the body. Only when the bodyguards reached out to move Harper did he finally stir. "Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" He drove the bodyguards away, chasing them off like a lion guarding its territory. Then, he gently picked up Harper's body, as if she were a priceless treasure returned to him. He remarked, "I'm sorry, Harper.

I couldn't bring myself to believe it was you. I just couldn't accept it." He forced down the blood in his throat , leaned in to kiss her forehead, and a tear slipped down the corner of his eye. Olivia exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind, Callum?" She was taken aback by what Callum did. Her face darkened, and she started barking orders at the bodyguards. "Quickly take him home now." Callum refused to budge and turned to Logan with a grim expression.

"If they lay a finger on me, you and your men can pack up and leave." Hearing that, Logan immediately had Callum's bodyguards face off with Olivia's. Callum's chauffeur did his best to ignore the ---- horrifying body in his arms and respectfully opened the car door for him. The chauffeur gingerly asked, ''Where are we heading, Mr. Colter?" Callum softly replied, ''We're taking her to the hospital to examine her body." He kept his voice down.

Even in the car, he held Harper tightly, like he was scared she would disappear again if he loosened his grip. He paid extra for the full autopsy. When the results came in, his jaws clenched, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He was too shaken to react. "There are whip marks on her back and severe trauma on her lower body. It's likely she was brutally assaulted before she died." Logan approached with care and gently suggested , " Maybe it's best to lay her to rest now, Mr.

Colter." Callum looked cold and furious. He couldn't hold it in and coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his mind was eerily clear. "Lay her to rest? How can she rest in peace when her death hasn't been avenged?" He wiped the blood from his mouth. His gaze was cold as he ran through every way to avenge Harper. He ordered Logan, "Get an ice casket. Keep her body intact and take it to my room."
