Red Threads of Betrayal Chapter 9
The next evening, Jasper appeared after all.He had lost a noticeable amount of weight. The collar of his shirt hung loose and unbuttoned, and his jaw was covered in rough stubble.He stood right outside the cafe, holding a small paper bag of pastries I used to love.“Aria.”“You shouldn't be here."“I have nowhere else to go.” His voice was raspy beyond belief. “My dad found out about my mom’s affair, and they’re getting a divorce. I got fired, and not a single place has responded to my resume.”He looked straight into my eyes.“I’m not here to ask you to take me back. I know you never would.”“Then what are you doing here?”“I came to say I’m sorry.”He gently placed the bag of pastries down.“I always thought I was keeping my boundaries intact. And that as long as I didn't cross the physical line, it wasn't true betrayal. Yesterday, I went back and read through our chat history. I realized I sent her over two hundred more 'good night' texts than I ever sent you.”He let

I stared straight at him.“You love me,” I repeated slowly. “So you were completely convinced I’d never bring myself to leave. You love me, so you trampled all over my boundaries and then expected me to be understanding about it. Last night, I sent you a text.”I pulled out my phone and turned the screen around, holding it up right in front of his face without letting anyone else see.“I said to admit what you did, cancel the wedding with me, and we’d wrap this up cleanly. I won’t release the footage or notify your employer, and I’ll save you your last bit of dignity. And how did you reply?”Jasper stayed silent.“You replied, ‘You’ve had too much to drink. Get some sleep early. You’ve got to wake up for makeup tomorrow.’”Jasper closed his eyes tightly.“I gave you a way out, Jasper. You just refused to take it.“You chose to proceed with the wedding this morning as if nothing happened. Your mom chose to force me here, demand I apologize, and refund the entire wedding. You did

Imogen pushed open one of the double doors, with my other three best friends, Olivia, Emma, and Matilda, following right behind her.Their expressions varied, but they all stood firmly behind Imogen, not a single one backing down. Imogen stepped further to the side, revealing two uniformed officers standing in the doorway.In an instant, everything clicked.When Imogen found out this morning that I was going to the venue, she had sent me a four-word text: [I'll handle it.]At the time, I thought she meant handling the hotel bill. It turned out she had done far more than that.The hall fell into silence.Damien instinctively pulled his chair inward, the hot-headed anger he had displayed earlier when slamming the table vanishing without a trace.Imogen shot me a look.Catching her eye, I turned my attention to Officer Peterson and his partner.“Officers, sorry to trouble you. I’d like to make a formal statement in front of you both.“My name is Aria Whitlock, and I’m the bride.

“What nonsense are you babbling about?!”All color drained from Charlotte’s face.At the main table, Mr. Short quickly adjusted his glasses, spilling his drink straight onto the tablecloth.I stared at the thick red thread connecting them. “Why are you two getting so worked up? You’ve probably been sleeping together for quite a while now, haven't you?”“Shut your mouth! You’re lying!” Charlotte trembled with rage. “Full of crazy talk! Who raised you to slander your elders like this?!”Mr. Short’s wife, however, stood up. “Charlotte, is what this girl is saying true?”“R-Reina, don’t listen to her crazy talk! She’s doing this on purpose to drive a wedge between us and get revenge!”“Whether I’m driving a wedge or whether you two slept together,” I cut in coldly, “Mrs. Short, why don't you spend a little money today, hire a private investigator, and look up their hotel room records from last year? Wouldn't that make everything crystal clear?”While I didn't have physical proof fo

Jasper reached out to grab my wrist.“Stop acting up. I brought your wedding dress with me. Quick, change into it inside.”I yanked my hand back.“Where’s Jean?”“She’s not feeling well.”“From exhausting herself with you last night?”Charlotte suddenly shoved me from behind.“Watch your mouth! On such a joyous day, how dare you slander your own man?”The small of my back slammed into the sharp corner of the reception desk, and I bent over in pain.Mom rushed over. “How dare you lay hands on her!”Before she could reach me, Jasper’s uncle and cousin blocked her path. “Your daughter is dead set on making our family look like a total laughingstock!”Charlotte pointed a finger right at my nose.“She either behaves and goes through with this wedding, or apologizes to every single one of our guests!”Jasper stepped in to hold me up. “Mom, don’t push her.”“You’re still taking her side?” Charlotte shrieked, beside herself with rage.“She’s my wife.”I let out a cold laugh, re
