I took the folder with shaking hands.
By then, the plan was set.
Marcus would approach Tessa’s father, Richard Brightwell, during the reception and show him the full truth: Garrett’s financial fraud, hidden liabilities, business deception, and the lies that underpinned the marriage itself.
I wasn’t going to make a scene.
I was just going to stop protecting a lie.
The night before the wedding, I had a panic attack on the bathroom floor.
All the old voices came back at once.
What if Garrett was right about me?
What if I was using Julian?
What if this ruined everything?
What if the kids got hurt?
What if I wasn’t strong enough?
Julian texted me at exactly the right moment.
Can’t sleep either. Thinking about you. Proud of you.
