“Over here, Love, show me that bump. Yes, work it, you overgrown hag. Perfect. Oh, these are going on the interwebs,” he shouts, and Missi's face turns red.
Her cheeks puff out, and she looks on the verge of murder.
I cover my mouth to hide my grin, then yell at Donny to cut it out, trying to keep up the act. But damn, it’s hard. Rylee is cackling in her seat as Colt holds her up. Donny returns to his seat, placing his hands in his lap, like the perfect gentleman he is.
Teo is smirking, and I give him a discreet wink.
Missi finally reaches me and I lean in to press a kiss to her sweaty cheek. “You look incredible, Mis,” I whisper just for her, lying through my teeth.
She preens, then hands Isla her bouquet and takes my hand, as the preacher clears his throat and begins the ceremony.
When it’s time for our vows, she goes first.
“Lenny, this is the greatest time of my life, and it's all because of you. I always knew we were meant to be, but others tried to get in the way, and now they can't, because you are mine. You will never get away from me now. I promise to love you, cherish you, listen to you, and correct you when you decide to go off the right path. Now, hurry up and marry me so we can get to the honeymoon.”
My eyes get wider the longer she speaks, and I have to release one of her clammy hands and rub the back of my head.
The church is silent, and I think people are as surprised as I am by her vows. They don't know how crazy she really is. But they are about to get a show like they've never seen before.
Okay, time to get this started… I turn toward the preacher and lean over to speak just to him. He nods and I pull away.
Missi looks confused, but she won't be for long.
“Lennox has prepared a video to accompany his vows. He's asked for us all to watch. Says it's something you won't want to miss.”
I look at my partner in crime in the back and nod. He gives me a thumbs up, then leaves through the side door to wait for another special guest to arrive.
I am practically vibrating with excitement, and Missi gasps as a screen lowers behind us and the projector begins to play.
I spent a week making this video perfect. It starts with Missi cheering beside me when we were freshman.
“Oh, Lenny. This is so sweet,” Missi squeals, and I lean over.
“Just wait, babe. This is only the beginning.”
She preens and turns back to watch. I added a few extra photos of the team, and her with her friends, but when the song changes to animalistic grunts and moans, I know I have her attention.
It’s the sex tape she took that night, but it’s not me in the video… Nope, it’s my good old dad, Lennox ‘The Lion’ Crane, fucking her while I am unconscious beside them. The crowd starts shouting, and I am grateful that Missi made this an adults only event.
Little eyes and ears do not deserve to be scarred. “Turn it off!” Missi screams, slamming her hands into my chest. Mateo joins us and restrains her hands behind her back.
“That will be the last time you ever put your hands on my man,” he growls, and fuck, that’s hot.
She squirms, trying to get free, but I point to the screen. “For those who haven’t figured it out yet, the little girl inside Missi’s stomach is, in fact, not my child, but my half-sister. She lied to me, blackmailed me, and abused me.”
“Lenny, please, don’t do this,” she croaks, but I shake my head. I have been going back and forth for weeks, trying to think of the best way to handle all of this, while dealing with my own heartbreak.
I still love that baby. I know she’s not mine, but she is still my blood.
Missi freezes and looks at me. She smirks, and I know exactly what she’s about to say.
“I still have that little tape, Lenny, and now the whole world is going to learn about what you did,” she hisses, and I toss my head back, laughing.
“What tape? I took care of that, and all of the extra copies. You’re fucked, Mis.”
“What the fuck?!” my father roars, and I turn my attention back to the screen, grinning like a fool. “Those are all lies!” hecontinues to shout, and I glance over my shoulder. Donny and Colt have him restrained.
My mother didn’t just give me the proof of Missi and my father’s affair, she included some personal documents that he thought he had shredded a long time ago.
