âWhat are you up to this time, Crystal?â I asked through clenched teeth as I tried to suppress the burning anger within me.
Crystal broke into a sinister grin. âWhat do you think Iâm up to? I just want to piss you off as much as I can! You got pretty bold with someone like Sabrina supporting you, huh? Thanks to her spreading my scandal everywhere, people have been pestering me about it since my return! Heck, they even went as far as trying to have the press interview me! She shouldâve seen this coming before trying to ruin my reputation!â
Hearing that made me tremble all over in anger, and I was about to make my way toward the pregnant woman when Crystal grabbed me by the arm. âI know itâs normal for men to fool around before getting married, but⦠For a pregnant woman to expose the truth at the wedding in front of everyone? Isnât that just exciting? Do you think Sabrina will choose to accept the fact that her groom was sleeping around, or will she call off the wedding altogether? Go on, take a guess! Iâll even reward you for getting it right!â
Sheâs seriously planning on sabotaging a wedding this grand? I couldnât believe how far Crystal would go to get revenge on Sabrina for sticking up for me. âCrystal, this is between you and me! Just come at me and leave Sabrina out of this!â
âOh, that simply wonât do! Sabrina has to pay the price for messing with me, and youâre not going anywhere unless I say so, Yvonne!â Crystal said with a twisted grin on her face. I thought about asking for help but realized there was no one else I could trust. Thereâs no telling how people would respond to this. If someone decides to start yelling and cause a scene, Iâd be playing right into Crystalâs hands!
âYouâre crazy! Youâre really crazy, Crystal! How could you do such a thing? Arenât you afraid of karma coming back at you?â I tried my best to brush her arm off, but she maintained a firm grip and held a knife to my waist.
âStop struggling or Iâll stab you. Itâd be a shame for you to die now that youâve finally married Christopher, you know? Think about it, Yvonne. If you die, Monica will steal Christopher, and you wouldnât be able to do a thing about it! Tsk, tsk, tsk⦠Itâd be such a tragedy!â
I froze upon hearing that and didnât dare move a muscle. This isnât like Crystal at all! As someone who always prioritizes her image over everything else, thereâs no way sheâd take a huge risk like this! Something mustâve happened to her without me realizing it and changed her completely!
In my state of anxiousness and desperation, I softened my tone and pleaded with her, âPlease donât do this, Crystal! You can take your anger out on me however you like, and I wonât even utter a single word of complaint! Please, you have to stop that woman!â
Regardless of whether that womanâs story was true, her words were most certainly capable of ruining the best day of Sabrinaâs life.
âOh, I wouldnât dare hurt you! Youâre the apple of Christopherâs eye, remember? Iâd be dead if I so much as laid a finger on you!â Despite what she said, Crystal kept that knife pressed against my waist and gave it a light jab.
The ceremony was coming to an end, and it would soon be time for the ring exchange. I began to sweat out of anxiousness as I prayed for Christopher to show up and notice the state I was in.
âHave you gone mad, Crystal? Why are you doing this?â
âLike I said, I want to make you suffer! But since youâre begging me so nicely, Iâll be kind enough to make you a deal. Have Christopher go on stage and announce that heâll marry me. After that, I want you to get down on your knees and tell everyone that youâre the selfish, shameless homewrecker instead! You do that, and Iâll have someone take the woman away. What do you think?â
