All Chapters of My Wedding Eve Death Warning Was Real: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The Crown Suite was pretty dimly lit. The table was covered with liquor bottles, and rowdy music played from the speakers.I didn't know anyone else in the suite at the club. They were all part of Eric's circle and dabbled in the car sales industry like he did.Eric slung an arm around my shoulders and said, "The groom has finally arrived! You're about to be shackled for life tomorrow, so tonight, we're giving you one last send-off!"Someone whistled, and someone else shoved a glass into my hand. I smiled, but I didn't drink."My wedding's tomorrow. I can't get drunk."Eric clicked his tongue. "Why are you acting like you have a stick up your butt? Does Holly keep you on such a tight leash?"At the mention of Holly's name, I looked at him. His smile looked natural and convincing, as if he were genuinely indignant on my behalf.We'd been best friends for ten years now. The year I returned to Greenvale after leaving the military, Eric was still washing cars at a used-car showroom.

Two days later, by 2:00 pm, a crowd had already gathered outside my company. Over two dozen of Holly's relatives from the Sullivan and Tate families had shown up.Eric arrived with several other livestreamers. They were all holding up their phones to stream the whole thing.Quite a few onlookers had gathered and were also filming the company entrance with their phones.The moment I got out of my car, a barrage of insults came flying at me."The scumbag's here!""That's the sleazebag who hired a prostitute the night before his wedding! The nerve of him to show his face!""He's nothing but a filthy loser who hits his wife!"Holly stood in the middle of the crowd in a white dress and with very little makeup on, leaving the swollen patch on her face exposed.The moment she saw me, tears streamed down her cheeks."Logan, I never wanted things to come to this. Why did you have to force my hand?"As soon as she said that, the comments in the livestream went wild.Eric came to her s

Holly's medical report appeared on the screen. According to the timestamp, she visited the hospital at 11:42 pm. Her diagnosis consisted of facial soft tissue contusion and subcutaneous bruising of the forearm.Sobbing hard, she said, "That evening, he came to my house and demanded that I return the 500,000 dollars he'd given me as a wedding gift. When I refused, he hit me. Then, that night, he went to the club to hook up with another woman.The words flowed out of her in smooth succession, almost as if she'd memorized them beforehand.I played another set of footage to prove that from 6:50 pm to 8:16 pm that evening, I'd been at home. The surveillance camera outside my front door had recorded when I left the house. The footage from the apartment elevators and underground parking lot, along with my vehicle's location data, all proved the same thing.At 8:16 pm, I arrived at the South Precinct police station to leave my statement with the officers. There was an official record of my

The details that came to light following the police investigation were far more sordid than I'd expected.As it turned out, Holly and Eric hadn't only begun their illicit relationship just before the wedding. They'd known each other long before Holly and I met each other on a blind date.The night she accepted my proposal, Eric had been waiting for her outside.I was soon presented with a litany of evidence, including the hotel booking records, photos of them in various secluded parking lots, and the takeout orders made from Holly's phone that were delivered to Eric's address.As I stared at the pages for a very long time, I was abruptly reminded of the day Holly and I registered our marriage. She'd worn a white dress then, and once we stepped out of the city hall, she'd flashed a beautiful smile at me, saying, "Logan, from now on, we're a family."Now I knew what she meant by that—she was celebrating the fact that she could inherit my assets once I was dead.Once the police reco

Six months later, Sentinel Security landed a project that involved upgrading the security system at an old apartment complex. It wasn't a major project, but it involved a lot of tedious work.The complex had 24 buildings and over 70 blocks. The surveillance cameras, access control systems, and alerts for blocked fire exits all had to be replaced or redone.I spent all my time running around the complex with the crew, confirming camera locations, testing wiring, configuring backend permissions, setting storage periods, and ensuring logs were retained.Luke joked, "Mr. Hughes, you're even more demanding than the client themselves."I tightened a mounting bracket and shot back, "A broken device can be replaced, but if the evidence goes missing, even the innocent might not get to clear their name."He fell silent for a moment before nodding. "You make a good point."At noon, Steven showed up at the apartment complex with two takeout containers."Skipping your meals again?" he said s
