Still committed yet uneasy, Kate manages demanding wedding logistics while confronting unexpected encounters during a quiet lounge break. Peter Henderson, the former best man, challenges her assumptions, shares personal grief, and raises the possibility of genuine misgivings and the consequences for love, timing, and future family plans.","MARRIAGE UNDER SUSPICION  \nSara Craven  \n\"Your husband loves another woman\" The note was signed \"AFriend\"  \nbut no friend would ever to that to another woman. Could it be True? Was Kate Lassiter's marriage falling apart? She still loved her husband. Ryan, still thrilled at his touch , but how long was it since they'd last made love?  \nCHAPTER ONE  \nThis, Kate decided, as she crossed the deserted hotel lounge, had quite definitely been the morning from hell.  \nShe sank into a chair by the window, easing off her elegant black  \ncourt shoes under the shelter of the table, and discreetly massaging the ball of one aching foot against the calf of her other leg.  \nOutside on the sunlit lawn, the pretty pink and white striped marquee, with its distinctive octagonal shape, was being swiftly and efficiently dismantled.  \nKate, recalling how many hours and telephone calls had been required to track it down, surveyed the operation with genuine regret.  \nElsewhere in the hotel, all preparation on the carefully chosen menu for two hundred and fifty people had ceased; the champagne was being returned to the cellar, together with the claret and the Chablis and phones were buzzing as disappointed guests were told their presence would not be required after all.  \nKate sighed soundlessly, and opened the file in front of her, running a finger down a hastily assembled check list. Setting up a wedding was a long and complicated business. Cancelling it on the day itself was almost as complex, and probably twice as hectic. Damn Davina Brent, she thought irritably, scanning through the  \ninvoices from her sub-contractors. Why couldn't she have decided a month—a week—even yesterday—that she didn't want to go through with it?  \nQuite apart from the drama and upset of the last few hours, she would also have saved her distraught family some massive but unavoidable bills.  \nIt was the first time since Kate and Louie, her friend from college days, had started Special Occasions that a bride had actually cried off on her wedding morning. In fact, in the three years that they'd been functioning, they'd had remarkably few hiccups, organising other people's parties, receptions and special events.  \nAnd certainly there'd been no prior hint that the beautiful Davina was likely to throw such a spectacular last-minute wobbly. During the preliminary discussions that Kate had had with her, and her unfortunate husband-not-to-be, and, indeed, ever since, she'd seemed very much in love.  \nBut then, thought Kate with an inward shrug, how could you tell what went on in other peoples' lives—or heads?  \nFor a moment, she was very still, aware of an odd shiver tingling down her spine. A goose walking over my grave, she thought. Or an angel passing over.  \nAnd jumped, as a glass was placed on the table in front of her. A martini, if she was any judge, and served just as she liked it, very dry, very cold, and with a twist of lemon. Only, she hadn't orderedit.  \n'There must be some mistake,' she began, turning in her chair to face the waiter. Instead she found herself looking up into the unsmiling face of Peter Henderson, the erstwhile best man, now casually clad in jeans and sweater.  \n'No mistake at all.' His voice was terse. 'You look as if you need a drink. I know I do.' He indicated the whisky glass he was holding.'Thanks for the thought.' Kate accorded him a brief, formal smile.'But I make a rule—no alcohol while I'm working.'He grimaced. 'I thought, under the circumstances, you'd be off duty by now.'  \nKate gestured at the open file. ‘There are still a few loose ends to  \ntie up.'  \n'May I join you, or will I be getting in the way?'  \n'Of course not. Sit down—please.' Kate searched around under the table with a stockinged foot for her discarded shoes.  \n'Allow me.' Peter Henderson went down on one knee, and deftly replaced the errant footwear before seating himself in an adjoining chair.  \n'Thank you.' Kate was aware of a faint, vexed flush warming her face.  \n'No problem","cbCain1WRk4LE6Rx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain1WRk4LE6Rx","pdf",541746,5,241,"English","en",105,"# Marriage Under Suspicion\n## Chapter One\n## The Morning From Hell","[{\"question\":\"What makes Kate Lassiter cancel the wedding on the day itself?\",\"answer\":\"A signed note suggests her husband loves another woman, creating a shock that triggers the immediate cancellation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is Kate in the hotel lounge instead of celebrating the wedding?\",\"answer\":\"She is dealing with last-minute wedding fallout, reviewing checklists and invoices while preparations are shut down.\"},{\"question\":\"Who joins Kate, and what role does he play in her situation?\",\"answer\":\"Peter Henderson, the former best man, sits with her, discusses the circumstances, and offers blunt perspectives on relationships and potential misgivings.\"}]","Marriage Under Suspicion - Chapter One - The Morning From Hell | PDF",1785479326,371,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":87,"head_meta":89,"extra_data":91,"updated_unix":28},"marriage-under-suspicion-chapter-one-the-morning-from-hell","",{"@graph":36,"@context":86},[37,54,69],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/marriage-under-suspicion-chapter-one-the-morning-from-hell/116000/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":41,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-23","2026-07-31",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72,78,82],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"What makes Kate Lassiter cancel the wedding on the day itself?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"A signed note suggests her husband loves another woman, creating a shock that triggers the immediate cancellation.","Answer",{"name":79,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":80},"Why is Kate in the hotel lounge instead of celebrating the wedding?",{"text":81,"@type":77},"She is dealing with last-minute wedding fallout, reviewing checklists and invoices while preparations are shut down.",{"name":83,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":84},"Who joins Kate, and what role does he play in her situation?",{"text":85,"@type":77},"Peter Henderson, the former best man, sits with her, discusses the circumstances, and offers blunt perspectives on relationships and potential misgivings.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":88,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":90,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":93},[94,97,101,105,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
