**Chapter 113 p>
The atmosphere was thick with tension, but nothing pierced the air quite like Chloe’s scream. It was a raw, agonizing sound that sliced through the chaos of the room, echoing with a desperate urgency.
“Roman, no!” I cried out, my legs trembling as I rushed forward, my heart hammering violently against my ribcage, each beat a reminder of the impending dread.
Roman seemed oblivious to my pleas. Or perhaps he heard me but chose to ignore my voice entirely. He was straddling Dean on the floor, unleashing a flurry of punches that landed with brutal accuracy. Dean, battered and helpless, weakly raised his arms in a futile attempt to protect himself from the onslaught. But Roman was a force of nature, his fury igniting every movement he made.
“I warned you, didn’t I?!” Roman’s voice boomed, shaking the very air around us, filled with a primal rage that was almost palpable.
“Stop it! Let him go!” Chloe’s voice rang out, a mixture of panic and desperation as she struggled against the grip of her friends. They held her arms tightly, their frantic whispers reminding her of her pregnancy, urging her not to throw herself into the fray.
With every ounce of strength, I surged forward, my lungs burning, every nerve in my body screaming at me to intervene. Dean’s face was already slick with blood, his groans pitiful and haunting. Roman was a whirlwind of fury, seemingly impervious to the suffering he was inflicting. In that moment, he appeared as if he were possessed, lost to the storm of his emotions.
Desperately, I reached out, grabbing his arm mid-swing. My fingers wrapped around the taut muscle, trembling with fear and adrenaline. “Roman, stop! You’re going to kill him!” I implored, my voice cracking under the weight of the situation.
For just a fleeting moment, his wild, feral eyes met mine. It was as if my words had pierced through the haze of his rage, just enough for the groomsmen to spring into action.
“Hold him back!” a voice shouted from the crowd.
Two men seized Roman’s shoulders while another tried to restrain his arms. He erupted in a frenzy, thrashing like a wild beast caught in a trap.
“Get your fucking hands off me!” he roared, jerking free from their grasp. His fierce glare landed on Henry, the last to release him. “I’ll break your arm if you touch me again p>
Henry froze, fear etched on his face.
Please, Henry, don’t be foolish. Just walk away. Roman already despises you for what you did at the rehearsal dinner. You’re only reminding him of the punishment he wants to exact.
Fortunately, Henry seemed to read the urgency in my expression and backed away, his pallor a testament to his fear.
The crowd had gathered around us, whispers swirling like a tempest. My father’s voice cut through the chaos, sharp and commanding, demanding attention.
“What the hell is the meaning of this?” His face was a storm cloud, taking in the sight of Dean, battered and groaning on the remnants of the wedding cake.
Roman’s chest heaved, fists still clenched, but his voice was just as thunderous. “Ask your son-in-law why he can’t keep his fucking hands off my fiancée p>
Every gaze in the room turned to me, the heat of their scrutiny igniting my cheeks. My hands clenched the fabric of my dress at my sides, knuckles turning white under the pressure of all those eyes.
Dad’s penetrating gaze locked onto mine. “What happened here, Savannah p>
I swallowed hard, glancing from Roman to Dean and then down at the floor, where the remnants of the cake lay scattered. My voice trembled as I finally spoke. “Dean… forcefully kissed me in the bathroom. And he wouldn’t stop harassing me p>
Gasps rippled through the crowd, a wave of shock washing over them.
Dad’s head snapped toward Dean, eyes blazing. “Dean! What is she saying p>
Chloe rushed to his side, her hands shaking as she attempted to help him up. He shoved her away with a snarl, his voice dripping with venom.
“Get away from me p>
“Dean!” Chloe’s voice cracked with desperation, “What is wrong with you p>
He staggered to his feet, blood streaking his mouth, his glare landing on her like a burning brand. “You want to know what’s wrong with me? You! You’re my fucking problem, Chloe p>
The crowd gasped again, the sound louder this time, and even I flinched at the venom that dripped from his words.
Mom rushed forward, her voice frantic. “Don’t yell at her like that, young man! She’s carrying your child p>
Dean let out a harsh, broken laugh, the sound sending chills down my spine. “Yeah, right. That baby isn’t mine! She betrayed me. I loved you, Chloe, and you ruined me! You ruined everything p>
Chloe’s face drained of color, panic spreading across her features like a crack in glass. “Dean, stop talking. Please. Let’s settle this in private p>
Roman’s arm tightened around my waist, pulling me closer, as if to shield me from the impending explosion.
Dean spat blood onto the marble floor beside the ruined cake. “Private? You seriously want to settle this in private? After everything? No. We’ll do this here. Now. In front of everyone p>
His laughter was jagged, broken, and his voice carried through the room, silencing the whispers that had filled the air.
“I’m done with your lies, Chloe. Done! You tell them the truth. All of them.” His bloodshot eyes swept across the room, locking onto Chloe like a curse that would not be lifted.
Chloe’s lips trembled, her hands instinctively pressed protectively against her stomach, as if she could shield herself from words sharp enough to cut bone. “Dean… please don’t do this p>
Her voice broke, and she looked as though her entire world was teetering on the edge of a precipice.
Dean’s chest heaved, fury radiating from every ragged breath. “No more secrets. Not tonight p>
The ballroom had plunged into an eerie silence. Glasses clinked as waiters froze mid-step, and I could hear the frantic thrum of my pulse hammering in my ears.
In that moment, reality settled heavily upon me, and I understood with chilling clarity: everything was about to unravel.
As the chaos of the moment settled into a haunting silence, the weight of truth hung thick in the air, threatening to suffocate us all. Chloe’s trembling figure, cradling the fragile promise of new life, stood in stark contrast to Dean’s explosive rage, a heartbreaking reminder of the fragility of love and trust. My heart ached for her, knowing that the revelation of Dean’s betrayal would shatter her world into countless shards, each one a painful reminder of what once was. Roman’s fierce grip around my waist, while protective, felt like a double-edged sword; it shielded me from the storm, yet tethered me to the chaos that was unfolding before our eyes. The room was a tableau of raw emotions—fear, anger, desperation—each face reflecting the turmoil of a night that had promised joy but had spiraled into something unrecognizable.
In that moment, I realized that we were all caught in a web of broken dreams, each thread fraying under the pressure of unspoken truths. Roman’s fury, once directed solely at Dean, now encompassed the entire room, fueled by the injustice of the situation and the betrayal of a friend. As I stood there, I felt the tremors of change ripple through the crowd, a collective breath held in anticipation of the fallout. The air was electric with tension, a fragile balance teetering on the brink of devastation. Yet amidst the chaos, a flicker of hope ignited within me—a hope that perhaps, through the pain and the heartache, we might find a way to rebuild, to mend the fractures that had formed between us. But for now, as the truth lay bare before us, we stood on the precipice of an uncertain future, each of us grappling with the reality that dreams can fold into broken time, leaving us to pick up the pieces.
