My head throbbed painfully as I looked down at the phone in my hand. Messages kept flashing on the screen.
Three minutes ago, she had sent him a text.
[Even though I'm going to be someone else’s wife tomorrow, I can still wear a wedding dress for you. You can do whatever you want.]
Below it was a selfie she had just taken with several buttons of her hospital gown undone.
I looked up. Hannah hadn't even had time to button them back up.
So, the photo had just been taken.
I glanced down and saw that Caleb had replied.
[You look great just like that. Which room are you in?]
I looked at Hannah again. She wore a smug expression, completely unashamed.
"Do you even realize your mother has raised your dowry price three times already? The ‘carrying-the-bride’ money went from a thousand dollars to four thousand dollars! Your mom cursed at mine for so long and my mother didn’t even dare to say a word!"
She waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, stop nagging. Once I completely become your wife, I’ll satisfy you too."
"Hannah, how can you even say that? You’ve completely let me down!"
I clenched my teeth, my eyes stinging as tears slipped down my cheeks.
At that moment, my mother-in-law and father-in-law walked in.
