Melissa was touched butâ¦
Didnât Marcus tell Albert that Jessie was going to be her maid of honor?
Melissa wanted to speak up but it was clear Albert was more pumped than she was.
His own marriage wasnât great, so he had high hopes for Melissaâs future.
But he never thought heâd run into Jessie on the wedding stage.
The ex-lovers couldnât tie the knot but here they were, sharing the spotlight at someone elseâs wedding.
Albert was Melissaâs elder and Jessie was her maid of honor.
When Jessie stepped onto the stage with the rings and locked eyes with Albert, things got pretty tense.
Down below, Daisy was fuming so hard, she thought she might go into premature labor.
Even though it was the Fowler familyâs big day, her husband was up there with that woman.
Wasnât it a slap in the face for them to exchange loving looks like that?
Daisy wanted to kick up a fuss, but she glanced around and realized she couldnât ruin this event.
It was the Fowler familyâs eldest sonâs wedding day, and she couldnât afford to upset them.
Melissa felt lost up there on stage.
As Marcus was about to slip the ring on her finger, she whispered, âWhy keep me in the dark?â
Getting married was a big deal.

Marcus was all pumped up and happy.
How could he not be? Heâd dealt with the troublemakers at work
and sent Ryan packing.
Just thinking about it made him grin from ear to ear.
And to top it off, Albert had handed Melissa over to Marcus himself.
Jessie was the maid of honor.
Thinking about it, Marcus thought this wedding was spot-on.
Melissa could see the playfulness in Marcusâ eyes.
She didnât know what to say but she was willing to go along with it, so she just sighed in resignation.
Jessieâs hands were shaking as she passed Melissa the ring for Marcus.
Albert couldnât take his eyes off Jessie.
Jessie knew everyone was watching her and that they were aware of her past with Albert but she had to keep it together.
The worst was over.
When Melissa touched Jessieâs hand, she gave it a reassuring squeeze.
Jessie managed a shaky smile in return.
Melissa felt a weight lift off her shoulders.
Holding the ring, she looked at Marcus.
He was reaching out for it, his intense gaze almost melting her.
She couldnât look away from him.
