Silent Bride, Loud Betrayal On My Big Day

Synopsis

"How much did you pay for her ring?" A woman's voice suddenly came through the speakers, her tone playful. All 320 guests in the hall looked up at the speakers flanking the stage. Alex Foster's voice followed. "20 grand." "Only 20 grand?" Ellie James's laughter boomed through the mic. "The one you bought me cost 30 grand." "Of course they're not the same." Alex lowered his voice, but the wireless mic made sure every word echoed through the hall. "I bought yours with my year-end bonus. But hers? I randomly grabbed it from the counter." I stood at the center of the stage, and my champagne glass shook in my hand. 320 gazes shifted from the speakers to me. I didn't move. After all, I was the one who turned the microphone on myself.
