Five Years of Secret Love, He Married My Best Friend Chapter 10

Five Years of Secret Love, He Married My Best Friend Chapter 10

I went to the restroom. Fixed my face. Peeled off that suffocating bridesmaid dress.

When I got back to the ballroom.

My mom was parading Harrison around like a returning war hero. Introducing him to every relative at the table. Like he’d just scored the winning touchdown at the Super Bowl.

“Yes, this is our Harper’s boyfriend. Runs his own investment firm in Chicago. Works incredibly hard. They’ve been together five years. First time I’m meeting him too.”

I froze mid-step. Heels locked.

Harrison’s deep-set eyes flickered, just slightly. His face slid into a perfect expression of regret.

“Truly my fault. No matter how busy I get from now on, I’ll always bring Harper home to see you.”

My mom was melting. Eyes curved like crescent moons.

She turned. Arched an eyebrow at Maddie’s mom at the next table.

“See? I told you our Harper has impeccable taste. Harrison here. He’s every bit as good as Connor. Not a step behind.”

The words landed just as Connor walked up. Wine glass in hand. Ready for a toast.

His face turned black.

His knuckles went white around the glass stem. Anger. Jealousy. All over his face.

Maddie felt the atmosphere stiffen. She raised her voice. Pivoted fast.

“We’re so grateful you all took time out of your busy schedules to witness our vows.”

The rest of the wedding. Connor barely spoke. Face frozen.

His eyes tracked me and Harrison like radar. Locked on.

I felt that aggressive stare burning into me.

I ignored it completely. Not even a glance.

Harrison performed like a pro. Like he owned the place. Cut my mom’s steak. Poured my champagne. Gentleman act on full blast.

The reception finally wheezed to a close.

I made an excuse. Left my clutch in the bridal suite. Headed there to escape this suffocating disaster.

Connor materialized in the doorway like a ghost. His hand clamped around my wrist. The door slammed shut. Lock clicked.

“Harper. What the hell is going on between you and Harrison?!”
