Chapter 9 I used to scroll past this relationship blogger on TikTok all the time - the stories were always like something out of a soap opera . I never knew if they were real or just made up , But watching those girls lose their light over some guy always made my heart sink a little . Some of those stories , I even shared with Liam . He told me , If you ever feel insecure , just ask me . I'll prove it to you over and over - I'm all in . " But he didn't . grabbed Liam's phone . His lock screen was my birthday - I'd always known that . But I trusted him so much , I never even thought about checking his phone . ' Sophia , don't - please . " He panicked . He begged me . Because he knew exactly what I was about to find . typed in my birthday . It unlocked . What a goddamn joke - his lock screen is my birthday , and yet he's screwing another woman ? They say barely anyone walks away smiling after checking their boyfriend's phone . Yeah , I wasn't the exception . read through his texts with Alex . Most of it was just him bitching about me . Stupid little things . Like the time I had cramps and asked him to grab a heating pad- He wrote : ' So fucking annoying . I was just falling asleep and she makes me get up to find something . " ' She's so damn spoiled . " Or when it suddenly poured rain and I asked him to come pick me up- 10:27 My Fiance Booked a Hotel with His ' Bros. the Night Before Our Wedding 30.09 Chapter 9 He texted : " Was about to hop on a couple rounds with the boys , now my girlfriend's sending me on a fetch quest . Talk later . " Or when I found out I was pregnant and started feeling nauseous all the time , I told him I was craving strawberries . He said : " Girl eats like a monster . Doesn't she know how expensive strawberries are right now ? " " I swear she's gonna bankrupt me . " All those little things I thought were normal , To him , they were such a burden . The more he complained , the more Alex chimed in . And in private , she sounded nothing like the girl from that night . " Ugh , girls are all like that . That's why I'd rather hang with guys , less drama . " " Let's grab drinks sometime , you need to relax . " So while I was planning a wedding , Liam was unloading all his " problems " onto her . And then a few days ago , he sent this : " Marriage is such a drag . I don't even feel anything anymore . " " If we hadn't been together seven years ... if she wasn't pregnant , I'd be out . " I just sat there , staring at that text . Seven years . I thought it meant something . I thought getting married was our happy ending . I thought the baby I was carrying was the proof of our love . But to Liam ? It was a fucking shackle . Something tying him down . Then I saw Alex text : 10:27 My Fiancé Booked a Hotel with His ' Proe ' the Night Vafors Our Wedding Chapter 9 " Want to let loose a few more times before you lock yourself in ? " He replied : " Yeah , might as well . " The hotel wasn't their first time . Their first time was in the house we had just finished furnishing together . 10-27
