Chapter 6 An hour later , someone started pounding on the door . ] ] I could hear Grayson calling out . [ ] " Babe , please open the door ! " [ ] " You left so suddenly - our wedding is completely ruined . I've been dealing with my parents and cleaning up the mess , but as soon as I finished , I came straight here . " [ ] " " Open up , let's talk face to face . We've been together for five years - are we really going to let one misunderstanding destroy everything ? " ] Raven , I really do love you . Please , just let me see you . " ] Hearing his pleading voice , Amy rolled her eyes . [ ] " Men's words are nothing but lies . " ] " Now he knows how to say nice things , but when Penny was humiliating you on the spot , why was he suddenly mute ? " |[ ] My mom's breathing was getting labored , her face tight with anger . [ ] I wasn't going to open the door for Grayson , but my mom couldn't take it anymore and yanked it open . [ ] Behind Grayson , three groomsmen and Penny followed . [ ] They all looked like beaten dogs . " Mom ... " " Don't call me mom ! I'm not your mother ! " ] ] My mom was shaking with rage . She slapped Grayson across the face . [ ] In all her years of teaching , no matter how rebellious her students got , she'd never laid a hand on anyone . [ ] Today she actually hit Grayson . [ ] She was beyond furious . " Grayson , you begged me to let my daughter marry you ! You said you'd treat her well for the rest of her life ! " ] " At the wedding venue , your whole family , led by Penny , humiliated my daughter to the extreme . She's never suffered such grievances in her entire life ! Is this what you call treating her well and protecting her ? " " Ma'am , you can't really say it like that ... " ] " You shut your mouth ! Penny ! Don't think I don't know what you're up to ! " } Tea Dr The trou Chapter 6 " If you have feelings for Gray , you could just express them directly . Isn't it too much to be so devious and antagonistic toward others ? " " What's that supposed to mean ? Why are you blaming me for everything ? " [ ] " Shut up ! Penny , stop talking . " ] Grayson turned around and glared at her . ] Then he said to my mom : " Mom ... Ma'am , no matter what , this is all my fault . " [ ] " You're absolutely right . " ] ] " I came here to apologize . You can hit me or yell at me - whatever you want . I just ask for one more chance . " [ ] Grayson kept apologizing . His eyes were red , and his lips were trembling as he spoke . Like he really understood what he'd done wrong . But while he was talking , his phone kept buzzing in his pocket . [ ] Not just his phone - the three groomsmen and Penny were all getting messages too . [ ] The groomsmen and Penny kept their heads down , fingers frantically typing responses . [ ] Something felt off . I reached into Grayson's pocket and pulled out his phone . ] Unlocked it and opened his messages . ] Just as I suspected . ] The groomsmen and Penny were trash - talking me in their group chat . Tyler : [ She's so entitled and unreasonable ! Gray must be blind to fall for someone like her . ] Mick : [ Right ? Weddings are supposed to be fun . She has no sense of the big picture - just walked out and left Gray hanging . So selfish ! ] Derek : [ Gray's practically groveling and she's still playing hard to get . They already got their marriage license - does she really think she can get divorced ? If she does , she'll be damaged goods . What man would want her then ? ] [] Penny : [ See , this is why today's drama was necessary . Let Gray see this woman's true colors . She says she loves him so much , but can't handle a little discomfort . ] [ ] Reading message after message , I was shaking with rage . [ ] My fingers trembling , I kept scrolling up . Chapter 6 All the way back to a week before the wedding . Grayson : [ Penny , are you sure you want to do this ? Raven has a fiery temper and can't stand being wronged . Don't scare my wife away ... ] ] ] Penny : [ Of course ! Consider it puttin her in her place ! Otherwise , after you're married , won't she be walking all over you ! ] ] After reading all this , I almost started laughing . Laughing at how stupid I'd been . ]] These scumbags had played me completely . [ ] A week before our wedding , I was full of excitement , ready to be the happiest bride in the world . [ ] I never would have imagined that my dear fiancé was actually conspiring with his female buddy on how to put me in my place . ] Could anything be more pathetic than this ? [ ] ( 0 )
