Chapter 10
A video began playing on the big screen, showing an intimate footage between a man and a woman. The woman wasn’t a stranger. It was the bride, Wynter.
Gone was the obedient, soft–spoken woman she always was around Ewan. In the video, she was bold, wild, and completely in control. The man in each clip was different, but Wynter was there throughout.
Ewan stared at her, frozen. In his mind, Wynter was the picture of a conservative. She had insisted they wait until their wedding night for their first time. Yet here she was, in clip after clip, with man after man. Was this the same Wynter he had known all along?
Gasps rippled through the guests. Some even raised their phones to take pictures.
Panic rushed across Wynter’s face. She immediately grabbed Ewan’s hand and explained desperately, “Ewan, someone edited these videos. You have to trust me. I would never do something this disgusting.”
Before Ewan could respond, his parents, Robert Shaw and Marilyn Jenner, stepped forward. “Ewan, we will never welcome a woman like her into our family. You still have time. The ceremony hasn’t finished yet. Walk away while you can!”
Ewan’s closest friend, Jaden Carter, spoke up. “That’s right, Ewan. That video doesn’t look fake at all.”
However, Ewan looked into Wynter’s tear–filled eyes and gripped her hand even tighter. His voice was firm as he barked at Jaden, “That’s enough! I believe in Wynter. The wedding continues. And I’ll make sure anyone who posts that video online is gone from Berning by tomorrow morning.” Silence fell. No one doubted he could make that happen. Just when everyone thought the chaos was over, Ewan’s assistant, George Johnson, approached and handed him a folder.
Wynter noticed and immediately tried to shift Ewan’s attention. “Ewan, let’s finish the ceremony first. Everyone’s still waiting downstairs.” However, it was too late. He had already opened it.
His gaze locked on the pages, and not a single word was skipped. It was a full dossier, detailed with every dirty thing Wynter had ever done, backed by irrefutable evidence.
Nova hadn’t spread the scandalous video with hirn. Wynter had faked it.
Wynter got close to him because of her gambling debts. She needed money, and he was her ticket out.
The final page hit Ewan like a brick. Ewan’s face turned pale, and his eyes widened in disbelief. He even took a step back instinctively.
He thought that Wynter was blinded by benefits. Turned out the so–called kidney disorder she claimed to be born with was completely fabricated.
She had deliberately damaged her own kidney just to win his pity and just to make sure he would marry her out of guilt.
In return, he had made Nova donate hers. He had watched her suffer, all for Wynter.
What had he done?
The wedding ended in a mess. The guests were escorted out one by one.
After they left, Ewan destroyed the entire venue. The custom ring he’d had made for Wynter was hurled straight into the sea.
Wynter stood there pale as a ghost, begging for a chance to explain. However, Ewan didn’t even look at her.
When the destruction was over, he didn’t stop. He picked up his phone and called a private hospital to book a kidney removal surgery.
Half an hour later, Wynter was dragged onto the operating table and strapped down by force. The operation was carried out without anesthesia.
Her screams filled the room. However, Ewan ordered coldly, “Keep going.”
In seconds, blood soaked her gown. The scene was brutal and bloody.
