A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 365

Mrs. Goldsmith gasped dramatically, letting out a high-pitched squeal. "Oh, you poor thing! You sacrificed everything just to hand him over to her on a silver platter!"

Winifred violently wrenched her hand free, glaring at the couple. Iris's sickeningly sweet smile and Holden's smug smirk burned into her vision.

They were laughing at her. Laughing at her total, crushing defeat.

In this absurd, twisted love triangle, she had exited as the victim, but clearly, they weren't done with her. Holden and Iris had drafted a new role for her—the pathetic stalker. They derived some sick, twisted pleasure from humiliating her in real time, feeding off her misery.

Staring at Holden's punchable face, a wave of pure regret crashed over her.

She grabbed her purse, grabbed her boot, and limped away barefoot. She rounded the play area and found a quiet corner where her children were climbing the padded blocks.

She didn't grab them and run. Holden was already leading Iris toward the castle to take photos. If she dragged the kids away now, Holden would mock her for being a cowardly mother forcing her children to flee in disgrace. From the twins' perspective, it would create a traumatic association—every time their aunt's powerful fiancé appeared, their mother would grab them and run in terror.

Instead, Winifred patted the colorful mat on the edge of the castle where two small rocking horses sat. "Babies, come ride the horses," she called out, leaning against the padded fence.

The twins scampered over. She turned the wooden horses around so the kids faced her, their backs to the castle, completely blocking Holden from their line of sight.

Iris's parents had also tagged along for the dress fitting and were pacing around the perimeter. When Winifred spotted them, she quickly lowered her head to avoid eye contact.

But Beatrice wasn't about to let her off the hook. A shadow in a red dress suddenly loomed over her, blocking the light. Winifred's fingers tightened on the railing.
