Three Years in My Fiance's Brother's Bed Novel

Chapter 10 At the venue , Cole stood in his tuxedo while Carter and Valerie wore matching groomsman and bridesmaid looks . It was a simple lawn ceremony , attended mostly by young people . Everyone seemed to know that a show was coming . They were just waiting for the curtain to rise . When the livestream crew rolled their cases onto the grass , Cole was puzzled and stepped forward to ask what they were doing . Once he heard they were hired by Maya , a crease formed between his brows . He intended to punish Maya , but he hadn't planned on humiliating her in front of the entire internet .

If this went live , it could nuke her future . " Sorry , but today isn't a good day to stream . I need you to- " Before he could finish , Valerie slipped in beside him , tugging at his sleeve with a sweet smile . " Cole , if Maya invited them , we should respect her wishes . " Then , she stood between the brothers , waved at the camera , and said brightly , " Hi , everyone . I'm today's bridesmaid and a childhood friend of both the groom and groomsman ... " The brothers pursed their lips and let it happen . Watching this through a phone screen , Maya let out a mocking laugh .

Showtime came and went , but the bride didn't appear Cole called Maya again and again , but every time , her phone went straight to voicemail . He frowned and told his assistant , Matthew Erickson , " Check the hospital . She might be with Belinda . " He hadn't invited Belinda on purpose , afraid she wouldn't be able to take the shock . The unanswered ring kept droning in his ear , and unease tightened in his chest . Had Maya figured something out ? Before he could decide what to do , the massive LED screen behind him crackled to life , and a familiar voice traveled across the lawn .

" If Maya finds out I've been pretending to be you this whole time , she'll lose her mind . " " As if she'd ever guess Cole has a twin ! " " Just wait until she finds out she's been sleeping with Cole's brother for three years . I want a front row seat for that reaction ! " " This is what she gets ! Watching her fall from cloud nine right into hell will make it all worth it ! " Cole and Carter went white . Maya already knew about it , Panic flared in both of them , but before they could move , the lootage was cut , A new video filled the screen A university restroom came into focus .

Valerie barked orders while a group of women yanked at Maya's clothes , pressed burning cigarette tips into her skin , slapped her hard , and finally shoved her head into a toilet . The whole place went silent Only Maya's ragged screams echoed over the speakers Onscreen , Valerie's flawlessly made - up face looked vicious and triumphant " How dare you steal my crown as campus queen ? Get on your knees and apologize , or I'll make your life hell for the next three years ! " Cole and Carter stood frozen on the grass , chilled to the bone .

One clip after another of Valerie bullying Maya played across the big screen . The montage ended on Valerie's malicious expression . The brothers snapped out of their daze , turning toward her with stiff movements . They finally realized that Valérie had been lying to them the whole time .
