My Boyfriend & BFF Pranked Me At Our Wedding, I Dumped Both Of Them Chapter 06

Then she sent me a link.

Ethan and Vanessa appeared on the screen.

They sat across from each other at a table covered with small dishes of brutally spicy food.

The title read: “Ultimate Prank Battle: Who Backs Down First Is A Dog.”

Vanessa shoved a forkful of ghost peppers into Ethan’s mouth.

He coughed until his eyes turned red, then retaliated by gripping her chin and squirting mustard between her lips.

Back and forth they went, each prank crueler than the last.

Soon Ethan’s face was smeared with chili oil, while Vanessa lay on the floor vomiting, unable

to stand.

It had become a contest of wills, and neither of them would stop.

After a while, they changed places.

Vanessa picked up a slip of paper. The viewer comment read: [Ethan has to get on all fours and bark 10 times.]

Ethan’s expression darkened, but he still dropped to the floor and barked 10 times.

Vanessa slapped the table, howling with laughter.

I watched the two people on the screen as though they were strangers.

Kelly sent a voice message.

“Free for a call?”

She was quick-tempered and even quicker with her words.

The moment I answered, she launched into a breathless account.

“You have no idea what’s happened since you left. Without you, they have no material, and their traffic has fallen off a cliff. Their videos used to get hundreds of thousands of views. Now they can’t even crack 10,000.

“The management company they signed with keeps pressuring them, so they’ve started pranking each other.”

Kelly laughed with open satisfaction.

“There’s nothing they won’t do now. They’re practically trying to kill each other just to get their

views back.”

She paused before continuing.

“Last week was the worst. They both tampered with what the other was eating or drinking. One put something in the other’s food that they knew the other couldn’t eat. The other mixed random condiments into a drink. Both ended up in the hospital. Someone watching the

livestream had to call 911.”

I leaned against the couch and listened, treating it as free entertainment.

More than half their team had already left. The channel was barely clinging to life.

In the middle of Kelly’s story, she suddenly yelped.

“Holy shit. The livestream’s gone.”

“What happened?”

“The platform says their livestream has been banned for dangerous behavior.”

Kelly kept ranting for another few minutes.

She said they deserved it. They had become famous by exploiting someone else, and now the only way they could survive was by exploiting each other.

I remembered the first time I met Ethan.

Our college clubs had been recruiting new members. He stood under an umbrella handing out flyers, his eyes bright when he smiled.

“Hey, take a look at our club. It’s a lot of fun.”

A line was printed across the flyer: Capture life through a lens. Every second deserves to be

remembered.

How had capturing life turned into capturing humiliation?

Later, Kelly sent me a screen recording of them blaming each other.

Only then did I learn that an even uglier fight had followed after the camera was turned off.

Ethan and Vanessa stared at the banned livestream page.

They collapsed onto the floor, their faces ashen.

“This is all your fault and your stupid game!”

“Shut the hell up! Without me, you’d have been broke months ago!”

Neither backed down. They lunged at each other.

Vanessa clawed several bloody gashes across Ethan’s face.

His features twisted with rage. Eyes bloodshot, he roared, “Get out! Get the fuck out! I never want to see you again!”

Vanessa grabbed her bag, reached the door, and turned back.

“Don’t act innocent. The harder she cried, the more excited you were to edit it. Now it’s all my fault?”

Ethan opened his mouth but couldn’t find a word.
