The Ruined Bride of Velvet Nights by Brick Moving Ant

Chapter 10

As I said this, Thaddeus completely broke down, his eyes full of remorse.

He began slapping himself hard, then pulled out a knife and started stabbing himself wildly.

“Scarlett, I’m sorry. Would this make you feel better? I’ll do anything for you. Let me atone for my sins, please? Give me one more time…”

Before he finish, I cut him off.

“You were sleeping with my sister. Your photos were plastered all over my room. Every day while I was being abused, I had to stare at them. I really wanted to die ai that time.” I let out a cold laugh.

“And now you decide to investigate.”

I ignored the three of them and walked away with Hayes.

It wasn’t the easiest walk, all those judging eyes made me hard to breathe.

Everyone avoided me like the plague. Hayes couldn’t find anywhere for us to stay.

storm.

“She is innocent! My older daughter Vivienne set her up! She was forced! The culprits have been caught! Please stop! She’s innocent…”

Along with the livestream, the Blackwood and Lancaster families released a joint statement clearing

my name.

It documented the entire two–month ordeal, though what I’d been forced to endure was summarized in just a few words. The internet exploded with apologies.
