PART 2
The ceremony setup remained untouched.
Guests took their seats.
Flowers lined the room.
Music began to play.
But Nathan didn’t know that I had added one final detail to the reception.
After the ceremony portion of the day was supposed to be over, the lights in the reception hall slowly dimmed.
Nathan looked around in confusion.
Then the enormous screen behind the head table lit up.
The recording began.
His own voice filled the room.
“After the wedding, I’ll get access to the house and her savings…”
Then came Linda’s laughter.
Then Nathan talking about leaving me.
Then the way he spoke about my children.
Then the plans he had been making while pretending to love all four of us.
The room went completely silent.
Nathan’s face changed immediately.
