Peter stared at the paper.

A full thirty seconds passed—then he burst out laughing. "You'd fake a death certificate just to get back at me? That seal's fake, right? Time of death—4:05 a.m.? We were at the station then!"

He slapped it onto the coffee table.

I watched him spiral.

No arguing. No tears.

I just pulled out my phone and hit play.

The hospital's last call. 4:10 a.m.

The doctor's voice came through, heavy with regret—sudden heart failure. She didn't make it.

Peter's laughter died

  • His Girl Bro Killed Our Wedding   Chapter 12

    The day the court payment hit, I quit my job.This city held too many bad memories. No reason to stay.I booked a one-way ticket to Maren Cove.Grandma used to watch the coast on TV and say seeing the southern shore just once would be enough.Now I'd go for both of us.The day before I left, I visited the cemetery one last time.I told her everything from the past few months. "Grandma, I got the money back. The people who hurt us got what they deserved. Don't worry. I'll take care of myself. I won't put my hope in anyone else again."I bowed low in front of her headstone.On the way to the airport, the driver had local radio on.A news report cut in."Breaking news. Late last night, a domestic dispute escalated into a violent assault at a local residential complex. Authorities say a married couple argued over financial issues before the situation turned physical. The wife allegedly attacked her husband with a kitchen knife, leaving him seriously injured."The victim is now i

    Peter couldn't prove the $200,000 was a gift. The money trail led straight to me.The court ruled Peter and Gina—actual beneficiaries, jointly liable—had to pay it all back.Gina had nothing in her name, so the court seized the car her parents bought her.Her parents were so pissed they landed in the hospital with high blood pressure. The second they got out, they changed the locks and cut her off.With nowhere to go, Gina latched onto Peter.She moved into the apartment he was still paying off.The place that was supposed to be ours turned into a cage where they tore each other apart.Neighbors said it never stopped—things smashing, shouting all day:"Peter, you useless piece of trash! You can't even handle one girl. What kind of man are you?""Gina, get the hell out! This is my place!""Why should I? I'm your legal wife. Half of this is mine!"That "friendship" they used to brag about? Meant nothing once money was on the line.That afternoon, Peter called.First time he'

    Gina planted her hands on her hips. "We're legally married. That $200K? You paid it as my husband, from marital money. That makes it our debt. You want a divorce? Fine. Split it—$100K each—and I'll sign."Peter shook with rage, jabbing a finger at her. "You've got no shame. That was Joey's grandma's life-saving money. You said you'd pay it back after your bonus. Now it's 'marital property'?"Gina didn't flinch. She smacked his hand away. "No shame? Says who? You were the one flexing, throwing Joey's money around to look like a hero. Now she's gone, your company's tanking, and you want to pin it all on me?"She curled her lip. "We're married. That means we're tied together. You think you can ditch me and crawl back to Joey? Dream on."She grabbed the papers, ripped them up, and flung the pieces in his face. "I'm not divorcing you. As long as I don't sign, you're stuck with me."Peter snapped.His eyes went red as he lunged, grabbing her by the throat. "I'll kill you! You wrecked e

    I checked the door cam.Peter.Leaning on the frame, drunk, clutching something in his hand.I didn't open it. Hit the speaker. "Get lost."He heard me and slammed against the door. "Joey... open up... please... just open the door..."He lifted his hand to the camera.The wooden hair clip—snapped clean in half.He carved it for me five years ago. The day I moved out, I broke it and left it behind."I saw it... you broke it..." His voice was wrecked. Tears and snot all over his face. "You said it was your favorite. You kept it under your pillow... How could you break it? How could you not want me anymore?"He slid down the door and sat there."I sold the company... I'm finding a buyer. Once it's done, I'll pay you back... Just drop the lawsuit, okay? Give me one more chance... I swear, I won't talk to Gina again. I'll treat you right..."I watched him cry on the screen.My chest stayed quiet.Five years ago, when he carved that hair clip, the blade sliced his finger open.

    Legally, we were never married. No paperwork, no shared property.He moved $200,000 without my permission to clean up Gina's mess. That's illegal. Plain and simple.My lawyer didn't waste time. Demand letters went straight to Peter's company—and Gina's workplace.Peter's company was already taking hits after the canceled wedding. Partners were side-eyeing him hard.Then the money scandal dropped.Clients who'd been ready to invest? Gone overnight.His cash flow tanked. Payroll was hanging by a thread.Gina had it worse.She worked admin at a state-owned company. With that attitude? Yeah—she'd already rubbed plenty of people the wrong way.The lawyer's letter went straight to HR.Word spread fast—she'd hurt someone in a fight and refused to pay up.Her boss called her in. Said her "impact" on the workplace was too negative. Suggested she resign.Voluntarily.As for me, I went to work like normal.Ate on time. Slept on time.I moved Grandma's favorite plant onto the balcon

    I looked at Gina and almost laughed. "So you really think that whole 'girl bro, no boundaries' thing is cute? You think what you and Peter have is... noble?"She froze, then tipped her chin up. "Of course. We grew up together. We've been through everything. What would someone like you—who showed up halfway through—know?"I nodded. "You're right. I don't."I let that sit for a beat. "I don't get why a grown woman would pressure her 'best friend' into getting a marriage license the night before his wedding."And I definitely don't get how that same 'best friend' could drain someone's emergency money while their grandma needed surgery—just to clean up her own mess."I held her gaze. "You were never his friend. You just liked calling dibs on someone else's fiancé."You hide behind that 'one of the guys' act to cover what you really are—selfish, vicious, with zero decency."Gina's face went red. She stepped up and jabbed a finger at me. "That's bullshit! Stop slandering me!"Peter g
