Chapter 6Â
The moving video with sound made the evidence even more brutal.Â
At the end of the video was Carmen talking dirty with Garrett’s worst enemy. The timestamp showed the night before the wedding.Â
“God, Garrett’s such a fucking moron. One fake video and he believed I saved him. Threw Maya to a bunch of homeless freaks.”Â
“Maya was so stupid too. Cut up her knees saving that piece of shit, and she still died because of me. Heard she splattered everywhere when she jumped. That was fun as hell, haha…”Â
The man laughed and teased, “Now that moron Garrett trusts you completely, once you’re the real Mrs. Steele tomorrow, steal all his company secrets for me. Just like six years ago. This time, without Maya backing him up, I’m gonna take everything from him. Leave him with nothing.”Â
“I’m helping you this much-what’s my reward?”Â
“What do you think this is…?”Â
What followed was pure filth.Â
Carmen looked scared shitless, desperately trying to shut off the equipment, but the bodyguards blocked her.Â
She dropped to her knees in panic, explaining frantically. “Garrett, this is all fake! It’s edited! That bitch Maya’s trying to frame me, break us up! She just can’t stand seeing me happy, that’s gotta be…”Â
Before she could finish, an iron grip wrapped around her throat.Â
Garrett’s face was twisted with pure rage, his eyes practically bleeding. “One last time-who pulled me out of Wolf Mountain sixÂ
years ago?”Â
Carmen wanted to keep lying, but looking into Garrett’s bloodthirsty eyes, she got so scared she blurted out the truth. “It was Maya…”Â
“I… I didn’t mean to lie! I just love you so much, Garrett! I was scared of losing you, so I… I messed up! Please, just this once? For how much I love you?”Â
Before Garrett could say anything, one of his bodyguards burst through the door.Â
Garrett recognized him as one of the guys he’d left at the club.Â
Remembering what Carmen said in the video, a wave of terror shot from his feet straight to his brain.Â
“Mr… Mr. Steele…”Â
He practically threw Carmen aside and grabbed the bodyguard. “Where’s Maya? She’s not dead, right? She’s working with you to trickÂ
me, right?Â
“Get her out here! I know the truth now-I was wrong about her. She can hit me, yell at me, whatever! Just tell her to stop scaring me!”Â
“The wedding’s not over! I’ll switch brides right now! Tell her she’s my ONLY bride-I didn’t marry Carmen! She’s the only Mrs. Steele!”Â
The bodyguard was shaking, staring at the ground. Finally got the courage to speak up. “Mr… Mr. Steele… Miss Maya really did jumpÂ
to her death.”Â

Garrett just stood there like someone had ripped his soul out.Â
Next second, he grabbed the bodyguard’s shirt and beat the shit out of him. “I told you assholes to protect Maya! Where the fuck were you when she got hurt? Why didn’t ANYONE tell me?”Â
The bodyguard looked at Carmen, who was being held down on the ground, and understood what happened. He didn’t hold backÂ
anymore.Â
“Mr. Steele, I called you like a million times yesterday. Carmen kept answering. She told us you hate liars more than anything, and since Miss Maya pretended to be your savior, we didn’t need to go easy on her. She said make it brutal, and no matter what we heard from that room, don’t interfere. Even if Miss Maya died, whatever.”Â
