Report
On my wedding day, my sister was drugged by my fiancé's best friend and viciously assaulted by a group of groomsmen. When she came to, the shame and horror drove her to leap to her death, her broken body crumpling at my feet. Herbert Brady shielded my eyes from the grisly sight, vowing to make things right. But when the truth came out that Lori Reilly was behind it, he smashed my phone to keep me from calling the police. Lori shrugged with mock innocence. "The guys were just messing around. So what if they tore her clothes off? I've been half-naked around them plenty of times. Why was she so fragile?" She slung her arm around Herbert's neck, whining, "I told you not to marry some broke nobody. Poor people have such brittle pride. Look at the mess Mona has made." When I demanded justice, Herbert stayed cool, sliding a Centurion card across the table. "Ten million dollars. Enough to buy your silence? Lori is one of us, part of the city's elite inner circle. Push your luck, and you're making enemies of everyone who runs this town. Come on, it was just a wedding prank gone wrong." I seized the car and snapped it like a twig. Ten million dollars? To buy the life of the Woodard family's cherished heiress?

Lori's eyes burned with hatred, as if she'd leap up and strangle me.I clapped, and bodyguards dumped her at Herbert's feet. "The casino made her pay her debts with her body, then sent her to us. But everyone knows you're her ride-or-die. We don't want her. She is all yours. I'll see you both in court."Herbert's voice shook. "You're suing me?""Not just you," I said, grinning at Chloe's pale face. "Everyone who touched Gail gets what's coming. No one slips through."Chloe refused to take Lori, but the bodyguards' glares forced her hand. Herbert hoisted Lori up and trudged out. He glanced back with every step, praying I'd call him back.I didn't. Instead, I told a guard, "From now on, no Bradys or stray dogs at this grave."After the funeral, John handed me the reins of the family power. He built a small villa by his children's graves, wanting to spend his remaining days near them.I took the family crest, my eyes stinging, swearing to honor his trust. Under his iron-fisted ment

"Remember this?" Herbert said. "I crafted this ring for you. I'm asking you to marry me. My love for you has never wavered."I stood still, my face unreadable. He gave a bitter smile. "I know you hate me now, but Lori played me. She swore you got me drunk to trap me and bankroll Gail's life. That's why I turned a blind eye to what happened. I was jealous. I wanted your heart all to myself, not shared with your sister."Tears streamed down his face and splashed onto the velvet box. "I locked you up and kept you from the police because I was terrified you'd leave me and never be my bride."I reached for the box and took out the ring. His face lit up, hope blazing. "Mona, you forgive me?""Forgive?" I laughed, sharp and cold, flinging the ring into the trash behind him. It nicked his brow and drew blood.My hand then cracked across his face. "That's for slandering my sister!"I slapped him again. "That's for protecting her killer and losing all sense of right and wrong!"Then anoth

"Don't believe her lies," Herbert pleaded. "I only love you. I'd never touch her."I'd always known about Herbert's notorious best friend. Lori had a reputation for ruining any woman who got close to him.I thought I was the exception because he'd stood up for me once, telling her to back off. But that wasn't love; it was a leash, not a shield.He shared drinks with her, crashed in the same bed, and even swapped clothes. Lori played the tomboy, but he knew she was a woman. Their years of flirty games weren't accidents. They were choices.As the city's golden boy, he thrived on being adored, like all rich kids.I pried his fingers off and spoke deliberately. "Get ready for your downfall!"In the car, John's rigid posture finally slumped. He clutched Gail's urn, tears carving tracks down his weathered face. His voice was hoarse with regret. "If I'd been firmer and dragged her home, she wouldn't have died."I'd grown up an orphan, raising Gail like a sister, making sure she never w

Herbert doubled down, desperate. "What is revenge gonna get you? I burned all the evidence. Gail was too weak and jumped to her death. You can't pin that on us."He glared at me. "Throwing a fit fixes nothing. You trashed our wedding. It's not something Mrs. Brady should do."John sneered, tossing a file at Herbert's chest. "You've really gone to great lengths to protect your so‑called friend, haven't you? I may not have your evidence, but I've got this."Photos spilled out, showing Lori at an overseas casino, high on drugs, and entangled in debauchery.John continued, "Is this enough to bury her? I don't need your evidence to make her pay. She gambled overseas and bankrupted her family. You think she came back for brotherly love?"Herbert's fists clenched, his face a mask of fury. His phone rang, his father's voice bellowing through. "Herbert, you moron! You handed Lori our company shares? She's bled us dry. Every project is scrapped. We're finished!"Herbert spun to seize a cow

"The Woodard empire? Nonsense! Mona is a broke nobody. How is she an heiress?" Chloe screeched, shrinking under a bodyguard's glare.John snorted, his eyes cold as steel. When I stepped out, dressed and composed, his expression softened. "Mona, where is Gail?"My phone had died before I could expl
