Chapter 5: The Bride’s Confession

Chapter 5: The Bride’s Confession

The next afternoon, there was another knock. This time, it was Chloe. Preston’s wife of exactly three hours. She wasn't wearing her massive diamond engagement ring.

I let her in, and we sat at my kitchen table. She looked exhausted, her eyes red and puffy.

"I saw the video," Chloe said, her voice shaking. "The police let my lawyer view it. I watched him slip his phone into Sophie’s pocket when you went to the restroom. I watched him hit her."

"Why did he do it, Chloe?" I asked.

She took a deep breath. "Because he’s broke. He’s completely underwater in debt. He was planning to claim the phone was stolen to get the insurance money, but more than that... he hates you. He told me you were trying to ruin our wedding by wearing the wrong shoes, by bringing a child. He wanted to humiliate you so my wealthy parents wouldn't associate with you. He needed to be the absolute center of attention, the perfect victim."

"He’s a monster," I said flatly.

"I filed for annulment this morning," Chloe said, standing up. "I’m testifying for the prosecution, Evelyn. I’m so sorry."
