Helanie:
I returned to the ceremony feeling confused and stressed. My mother and Lord McQuoid had already exchanged rings.
I stood next to Lamar, feeling dizzy. All this time, I had tears in my eyes. I wanted to cry because of the turn of events. Maximus really broke my heart. At that point, I also realized I should have spoken my truth to Norman.
"Are you okay? What happened between you and Maximus? He never came out from the backyard," Lamar whispered, trying to be discreet.
"He accused me of never texting him and purposely delaying things to embarrass him at the last minute. He also claimed... I'm leaving him for Rudy," I forced the words out, my breath catching in my throat.
"Wait, what the fuck!" Lamar hissed, shaking his head before pointing at my phone. "Give me that."
I handed him my phone, and he opened my inbox, pointing at the text I had sent Maximus.
