A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 336

"I'm sorry!"

"I just... I just... couldn't control myself."

Iris shoved her fingers into her mouth, biting down hard on the tips of her bright porcelain veneers. Her eyes looked completely detached from reality.

"She's only three years old," Holden glared at her.

Iris jerked her head up, staring back at him through tear-filled eyes, her emotions suddenly volatile.

"Who told you to yell at me today?!"

"I was in so much pain, I was so angry I left, and you didn't chase after me. You didn't even try to comfort me!"

"You went out drinking and didn't even bother to call me!"

"I was going crazy!"

"My emotions got out of control, my mind started racing, and I just... I felt like Jordyn was the cause of it all. I felt like I was being dragged down and hurt because of her."

"I was so mad at her. At first, I only hit her to teach her a lesson."

"But..."

Iris started sobbing.

"But as I kept hitting her, I just wanted to keep going. I wanted to hit her so badly. The more I hit her, the better I felt, and I just..."

Holden placed a hand over his aching forehead, tilting his head back to stare blindly at the ceiling.

The officer interrupted, "I need to see your ID."

After checking it.

He stated, "For the child's safety, we need to notify her legal guardians."

The first call went to Owen Morgan.

A lazy, sleep-heavy voice answered with clear annoyance.

[I'm out of the city. I don't care about this.]

Owen was away on vacation with Yvonne Sutton. Yvonne was in the early stages of pregnancy, and he refused to leave her side for even a second.

The second call went to Jordyn's grandparents.

Beatrice answered dismissively: [When they got divorced, they split the kids—one for each. If her dad's busy, call her mom.]

Only then did they consider contacting Jordyn's mother, knowing the woman had a history of severe depression before the divorce.

But to their surprise...

The woman's response was swift and decisive.
