The pre wedding brunch was held at the Montgomery estate, a massive stone house with gardens that looked like they belonged in a magazine. Felicity was acting like a princess while she ignored me entirely, even when Garrett’s mother asked who I was.
“Oh, that is Jenna, she works at a clinic or something,” Felicity said before dragging the woman away to look at floral arrangements. I saw Silas Montgomery watching me from across the room with a confused look on his face like he was solving a puzzle.
Monica found me later near the buffet and told me to be quiet and not make the afternoon about myself. She said that Felicity was under a lot of pressure and that I should just be supportive by staying in the background.
I heard Felicity on the phone later telling a friend that I had “emotional issues” which was why I wasn’t in the wedding party. I sat in my car after the brunch and realized that my family hadn’t just ignored me, they had actively lied to make me look broken.
The rehearsal dinner at the country club was full of people wearing jewelry that cost more than my annual salary. I found my seat at Table 15 which was located right next to the kitchen doors and far away from the stage.
