Moonlit Betrayal (Alpha Rick)
Chapter 41

Chapter 41

The bride, dressed in her wedding gown, started to tremble uncontrollably. Her face, which should have been filled with happiness, was now marked by

extreme terror.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief when she looked at her face on the screen.

It was Jessica.

The picture stopped on her smug expression, making it clear for everyone to see.

“This is not true. It’s not like this! This video is fake!” Jessica hastily removed her well, unable to hide her guilt, and even her explanation lacked

confidence.

“Not like this? How hypocritical!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice e reached her ears, aged yet powerful.

Jessica’s eyes widened in shock, her ability to maintain her facade crumbling. “Are you a human or a ghost?”

An elderly woman in her fifties, limping, approached, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

Dominick was slightly surprised because the woman walking towards the stage was Brenda, whom he had been searching for a long time!

He should have been surprised, as he had been looking for her for so long without any news. Yet, everything seemed somewhat expected. When Brenda reached the stage, she glanced at Laura as if seeking her opinion. After Laura nodded slightly, her gaze locked onto Dominick.

Everything made sense now.

Dominick’s expression darkened. No wonder he had been unable to replace Brenda. She had been with the Sinclair family all along, hidden away by Laura.

It was impossible to replace her!

“Mr. Sinclair, today I will let you see the true face of the woman you have always protected and loved!”

Brenda’s eyes, though dim, seemed to fill with a long–held resentment that she could finally express.

“Brenda! You

You better watch what you say! Today is my wedding day, and I won’t allow you to mess it up!” Jessica screamed, her voice breaking, as she blacked Brenda’s path.

It was the final step. Her dreams and desires came to this moment, and she wouldn’t allow any mistakes n

Dominick looked at her in the wedding dress, her face twisted in ferocity. In fact, some things didn’t need further investigation. He already knew the truth in his heart

Jessica panicked, and the whispers and sighs of accusation magnified her, making her feel guilty and afraid.

Jessica looked towards Laura.

She was always such a gentle and graceful woman. She thought hadn’t their relationship always been good?

But now, Jessica could no longer replace any “Why? Why are you slandering me like this? This video isn’t what everyone thinks it is. And how did you get this video?” Jessica pretended to be innocent, but she was panicked because the Laura of now was clearly not the Laura she knew.

dany trace of their past affection in Laura’s eyes, only hatred and coldness,

Chapter 41

Jessica’s only hope now was to appeal to their past relationship, hoping Laura would show mercy.

Otherwise, her denials would be useless, for Jessica had already guessed what the paper in Brenda’s hand was

“We used to be so close. I’ve always been respectful towards you, always thinking of you first whenever there was anything good. We respected each other, and many people envied our relationship, I never did anything to upset you. Why are you doing this to me?”

Jessica used her best tactic, her eyes reddened, seemingly turning herself into the victim.

“Landon has always been the kindest to me. Our relationship has always been strong. He would be devastated to see us at each other’s throats, especially today, on my wedding day. Can’t whatever this is wait? Let’s do it for Landon’s sake…”

“How dare you even mention him!”

Laura, who had been silent, was trembling with rage, spoke through clenched teeth.

Her eyes, blazing with anger, were fixed on Jessica

“Landon has been nothing but good to you. And you? On the one hand, you cherish the affection and status Landon brings you, and on the other, you can’t let go of Dominick’s pampering!

“Do you think I’m old and oblivious? Jessica, for two whole years, I’ve watched you two flirt right before my eyes, even playing matchmaker at times. Did you really think I wanted to see my son’s wife marry another man? Don’t be naive

Laura’s rage was almost manic, mixed with a sense of triumphant anticipation as if all her wishes were about to come true.

“Brenda, reveal the truth. Tear off that mask of lies! Jessica, did you think you were convincing? Did you think consuming fertility drugs would make me believe you wanted to keep Landon’s child? Did you think I was so easy going that I’d let my guard down around you?”

Laura burst into laughter. “Still using Landon, even now? Have you forgotten that today is supposed to be your grand wedding with Landon? Everything hore mirrors that day! Since it started here, it shall end here for you, Jessical

Jessica was speechless. She desperately looked towards Dominick, hoping that the man who had once blindly

*Here’s the receipt from when Jessica went to the hospital for this pill!”

Brenda held the receipt high for all to see.

“While Mrs. Jessica Sinclair pretended to want this child, she had me secretly purchase this pill. Fearing I might speak out, she considered silencing me permanently. Thankfully, Ms. Edwards saved me. Despite taking the abortion pills, she plotted one last time to use the unborn child, pinning the blame for losing the child on Mrs. Lola Sinclair. How ludicrous when it was her own doing!”

Lolla, who had borne the burden of false accusations for years, felt an unexpected calm as the truth was unveiled.

She had often imagined how she might react when the truth finally came out.

She thought it was perhaps a sigh of relief or a cry of anguish. She had suffered so much injustice.

But having suffered so much, the misunderstandings and the real harm they caused felt too substantial

She thought that vindication and truth were still important

They didn’t.

Dominick, usually detached, felt anger brewing within. His heart ached unbearably as if death would be a mercy-

“Jessica’s child was lost because of you, so you owe her your child.”

“but you were indeed in the wrong.”

Chapter 41

“Jessica is unstable. Go take care of her.”

Memories of his past actions played in his mind like a poisonous reel.
