Sarah’s face drained of color as she saw the
crowd. She screamed and fainted.
We rushed her to the hospital. After several
frantic calls, Chad finally arrived.
<
His face was thunderous.
Understandably. No one wants their wedding
night to end like that, especially with so many
witnesses.
Chad’s guests included not only family but
also business partners.
The story would be all over town within days.
But that was later.
At the hospital, the crowd dispersed.
The doctor examined Sarah and discreetly
remarked, “You should avoid using… that
area… for intercourse. It’s badly torn. Further
use could be dangerous.”
<
Chad paled. “Are you saying this is from…
anal sex?”
The doctor’s expression was strange. Before
he could answer, Mom exploded. “What are
you talking about? My daughter is a virgin! I’ll
sue you for slander!”
The doctor, clearly used to such situations,
quickly backtracked and claimed he
misspoke.
But the seed of doubt had been planted.
Chad had seen things with his own eyes.
His face grim, he turned to Sarah. “Sarah,
what’s going on? Why is it like that? Did
another man do this to you?”
<
Sarah, of course, denied everything. “Chad,
you have to believe me! This is all because
of…” She pointed at me. “Amy did this! She’s
jealous I married you! She… she shoved
something inside me before the wedding! And she gave me food that made me sick! Chad,
believe me, I haven’t been with anyone else!”
Mom joined in. “Yes! That’s right, Chad! My
dear son–in–law, I didn’t want to say
anything, but my eldest daughter is twisted!
She’s behind all of this!”
Chad, incredibly, believed them. He turned to
me, his voice filled with disgust. “Amy, I can’t
believe you’d do this! If you had a problem,
you could have talked to me! If you wanted
money, you could have asked! Why resort to
these tricks? Are you happy now, seeing
Sarah like this? I’ll have you fired tomorrow!”
r
I laughed coldly. “She’s like this because she’s
been messing around with other men and
trying to hide it. This has nothing to do with
me.”
Everyone gasped.
Mom’s face contorted with rage. She lunged
at me, hand raised. “You little bitch! How
dare you lie! You’re just jealous Sarah married
rich! She’s innocent! You’re the one who’s
been sleeping around!”
My whole life, I’d flinched from Mom’s slaps
out of fear.
Not this time.
I dodged, and Mom stumbled, falling hard
onto the floor.
