The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 6

Next door, Luna downed three bottles of hard cider, her voice getting hoarse as she belted out, "Love You 'Till Death."

Freya glanced at the trending topics on her phone, growing increasingly uneasy. She tugged at Luna's sleeve, asking, "When did I ever mention Kieran in this mess?"

"Oops! My bad! I wrote that! News needs to be explosive to catch eyes, you know."

Freya's expression darkened. "Have you ever thought of the consequences?"

Flushed from the cider, Luna grabbed the mic and declared, "Consequences? What's the worst that can happen? Kieran will come at me with a knife, demanding I take down the post?"

Bang! Suddenly, the private room's door was kicked open. The music screeched to a halt.

Freya's heart skipped a beat as she saw Kieran standing at the doorway, his face stormy. She knew Kieran would come after them, but she didn't expect him to show up so quickly.

"You posted that news?" Kieran's voice was laced with frost.

Luna, frightened, hid behind Freya, who tried to stay calm as she said, "I did."

"You?" Kieran scoffed. He stepped forward, grabbed Luna, and tossed her into Silas's arms. "Everyone, out!"

At the sight of Kieran, Luna's legs had given out. She had thought of struggling to protect Freya, but Silas had dragged her out of the room, saying, "Go, go, go, get out now!"

With the door shut, only Freya and Kieran remained in the room.

Kieran moved closer, and his voice was cold. "So, Freya, you broke off our engagement and went straight to a club the next day? I've underestimated you before."
