Revenge of an Angry Bride Chapter 4
Chapter 4 “You, who had a mother but no father to guide you, don’t think for a moment Ricky will ever truly commit to you because of this. It’s time to let go! You’re going to get what’s coming to you, torn apart by a thousand blades, seared in the depths of scorching oil, and exploited by countless souls. You’re just a piece of trash, a wh*re!” When physical force failed, Samantha resorted to verbal abuse, her insults as sharp as knives. I helpfully moved the microphone closer to her mouth, letting her curse to her heart’s content. When she finally ran out of steam, gasping for breath, I spoke up, “Mrs. Blake, at this stage in your life, and especially on your son’s wedding day with all these guests around, you really ought to keep things dignified. If I didn’t know better, I’d think someone had dropped their pants here. Also, I want to clarify I’m not here to steal your precious son back. I’m just here to seek justice for my ten years of youth that were deceived.” year. I subtly and directly mocked Samantha, considering it a small act of revenge for the way she had bullied me back in my senior Indeed, with most of the guests being from Julia’s side, no one spoke up or intervened, maintaining at least a semblance of decorum. Only Samantha acted like a shrew, cursing. Her character was plain for all to see. “Bullsh*t, you’re just a seductress, bewitching my son. My son never loved you; it was you who harassed him! Julia, don’t listen to this wench. Ricky loves you, and you two are meant to be!” Samantha, regaining some composure, realized that cursing wouldn’t solve anything. Her priority was to salvage her son’s marriage. Even though their dignity had been thoroughly trampled, she still made an attempt to defend themselves. “Is that what your son told you? Then what’s this?” I didn’t argue with her; instead, I pointed to the screen at the perfect moment. The photos had finished, and now, screenshots of chat logs began to appear. Ricky: [Emma, I love you, and I will love you for this lifetime and the next!] Ricky: [Emma, I’ll work on my parents, and when the time is right, we’ll get married and live a happy life together.] Ricky: [Emma, you’ve worked hard to support me for five years. I’ll never forget your kindness, and I swear that I’ll never betray you!] These were the messages Ricky had sent me. The audience murmured, and a wave of disapproval rippled through the room. Not long ago, Ricky had been pretending to be a pure, innocent man, swearing that Julia was his one true love. The chat logs continued, revealing Ricky’s double life in stark detail. Philip: [Ricky, you broke up with Emma Green?] Ricky: [Nope, we’re still living together.] Philip: [Then who’s the girl kissing you on your Facebook?] Ricky: [My new girlfriend, Julia Colbert.] Philip: [Damn, two girlfriends? You really know how to juggle. Respect, man!] Ricky: [Well, what guy would say no to having more women?] Philip: [Don’t they mind? What if they get jealous and it all blows up?] Ricky: [Don’t worry. Julia’s from out of town; neither knows about the other. In their eyes, I’m still the faithful, innocent Ricky.] Philip: [Ricky, I see on Facebook you’re tying the knot with Julia. What about Emma?] Ricky: [Getting married is one thing, but dating is another. With a wife tucked away at home and a girlfriend out on the town, there’s no clash at all.] Philip: [So, you’re marrying Julia but keeping Emma as your girlfriend?] Ricky: [You get me, bro. A wife at home, and a girlfriend out there. Jealous much?] … Read more
