Standing quietly in an upper bedroom of the beautiful Garland Mansion, Hattie Morran gazed out the open window over the lush green grounds known as the Silver Creek Estate. She stood quietly in the upper bedroom of the beautiful Garland Mansion, her wedding dress and auburn hair fluttering lightly in the soft Missouri breeze, and sighed. The cold steel of her Colt 45, nestled among the flowers of her wedding bouquet, belied the picture of a beautiful bride awaiting her once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Without breaking her gaze, she spoke to her sister, who sat silently on a sapphire blue settee in the middle of the ornately decorated room.

“So help me, God, Dakota,” Hattie said with great conviction, “if Abner does not come across with my demands this time, this will be the shortest marriage on record.”

“What do you plan to do, sis?” Dakota asked.

Turning toward her sister, who’d leaned forward since she’d last looked, Hattie slowly lowered her bouquet, reached in, and cocked the revolver. “Put it this way . . . if he doesn’t, the man is goin’ to meet up with an untimely death . . . or I am goin’ to shoot off the only thin’ in life that jackass holds dear.”

Dakota’s jaw dropped. “You wouldn’t!”

“Oh, wouldn’t I? Just you hide and watch, sister dear. Believe me, I’ve taken just about all I’m goin’ to take from Abner Garland. At this point, I’d just as soon kill him as look at him. Of course, I can’t do that because I love his Mama so much, and even though he is a despicable person, he is her son.” With her feelings for Abner’s mother, Rebecca Garland, calming her, Hattie reached back into her bouquet and uncocked the revolver.
