My Wife is Marrying Her First Love
Chapter 2
I stepped on the red carpet calmly. With every step I took forward, my heart cracked.
I once swore to give her a grand wedding, but every time I proposed this idea, it was rejected by her.
She had thousands of reasons to refuse to appear in public with me.
Sometimes she said that it was not easy for me to make money and she didn't want to waste it.
Sometimes she said that he was afraid of society and didn't want to entertain guests.
In her words, as we love each other, our parents could simply have a dinner together, and then we travel together. It would be considered a honeymoon.
Being blinded by "love", I thought that she was doing this for my own good. Even though I felt regretful, I still went along with her wishes.
Now it seemed that it was not that she didn't want to hold a wedding, but that she didn't intend to hold it with me.
As a result her relatives wouldn't know that she was married, and she could hide the fact that she was married to me in front of Grayson.
As I got closer and closer to her, I saw the panic in her eyes.
The joy in her eyes had turned into shock, and then into fear.
Was she so scared? Did she think that everything had been done flawlessly?
I stopped in front of her. I could hear the sound of my heart breaking.
She clutched the corner of the wedding dress and swallowed hard.
Grayson didn't know me and was still smiling brightly.
"Li... Liam..."
She stammered out my name.
I also smiled and said, "Ruby, I didn't expect to meet you here. Why didn't you tell me that you were getting married?"
"Ruby, is this your friend?" Grayson asked.
"What? Yes... my... friend."
I laughed at my self-righteousness wishful thinking.
After five years of marriage, I thought I could get something in return if I put in all my effort, but I was wrong.
She didn't like me. Even if I was willing to protect her sincerely for the rest of my life, she wouldn't feel my heart.
I took the microphone from the emcee and said to the guests, "Ruby, you're getting married. I didn't prepare any gifts for you. It's a small souvenir for you."
I extended my arm and pointed at the big screen.
Harry began to play the PowerPoint.
The first picture was my marriage certificate with Ruby.
The audience burst into an uproar.
Then, it was a premarital agreement I signed with her, the wedding photos I took with Ruby, and our intimate selfies during honeymoon
Harry changed the picture every 20 seconds so that the guests present could see them clearly.
These photos caused an uproar among the audience. Some people raised their mobile phones to take photos of the shocking news in Seattle.
"Liam Duncan, are you crazy? Turn it off!"
Ruby roared at me.
Grayson was also shocked.
Not only was he shocked by the photos on the big screen, but he was also frightened by Ruby's furious look.
She had always played the role of a delicate woman. Today, she showed her true colors.
"Ruby! Is this the reason why you said to hold a wedding first before getting the marriage certificate?
"So you are married"
"No! No, Grayson, listen to me. These pictures are fake. He framed me."
She grabbed Grayson's sleeve and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"You can go to the City Clerk's Office to check." I said with a mocking tone.
Grayson family rushed forward and questioned her about what was going on.
Ruby's parents ran to the stage in a hurry and stood in front of her. "Listen to me. It's all a misunderstanding."
"He loves Ruby, but Ruby has rejected him. So he wants to ruin Ruby's life on purpose!"
They pointed at me and lied.
"What misunderstanding? You even have wedding photos. This is fraud! Are you trying to cheat us out of our money?!"
Grayson's family was not stupid. They did not blindly believe Ruby.
"Ruby, is it true?" Grayson looked at her in disbelief.
Once again, she pretended to be pitiful and threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly.
"Grayson, you must believe me! I was framed."
Grayson couldn't bear to see her crying so pitifully.
Seeing this, Grayson's mother pulled Ruby away and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't the marriage certificate real?
"Don't think that you can fool Grayson just because he loves you. The Chambers family is not to be trifled with."
Some of their relatives rushed to the front and began to seek justice for their families.
The situation gradually went out of control. Someone gave the other a push, then both sides began to fight.
I silently left the banquet hall. I didn't want to get involved in this drama.
When Harry and I walked out of the hotel, the police cars arrived at the same time.
Under the guidance of the hotel staff, the police officers ran in the opposite direction from us.
Harry asked weakly, "What are you going to do next?"
What else can I do?
There is no winner in this game.
