"Well, last time I checked, you've fucked me at least three times a week since you were sixteen. It's not a surprise I'm knocked up. Shall we go tell your new wife?"
No! No, no, no, no! This can't be happening. I stop the video and quickly select the other one. My heart stops when I hear Candice's, Alexandr's, Mindy’s, and my own moans play out loud. Fuck no!
I run out of the room, her phone gripped tightly in my hand. I bypass the elevator and take the stairs. When I return to the reception, I scan the room and spot Alexandr straight away, his hand is up a waitress's skirt. I wince. Phoebe, his fiancée, will be pissed if she finds out. I search the room again and find Sergi standing at the bar with a scotch. His eyes meet mine, and he raises an eyebrow. I tilt my head toward my brother and nod in his direction. He heads to him at the same time I do.
Alexandr lifts his head, a smirk on his face, but it disappears as soon as he gets the look on my face. He whispers something to the waitress, then she nods and walks off.
"What's happened?"
He asks the question right away, but I can't seem to find the words.
My wife left me.
Fuck, she left me.
I hand him her phone, and they look at me weirdly, then crowd around the phone. Our moans fill our circle, and both men shoot their heads in my direction. Alexandr stops the video.
"Explain!"
"I went to find my wife, but instead," I breathe heavily, "I found the room empty. Her wedding dress was on the bed with her phone on top. Those videos were cued up and ready as soon as I pressed the screen." Alexandr looks pale, and I look at Sergi.
He lifts his head from the phone and says, "There's nothing on here except the two videos; she's deleted everything." He looks like he's about to be sick. I don't even know what I look like.
"How did she pull this off in two days?" Sergi asks, and I snap my head up.
"What do you mean?"
"The first video is from two days ago, nothing else, which means she did not know before then, right? Has she changed toward you at all before that?"
Alexandr's eyes go wide, and I drop my head.
"I hadn't seen her for three days before today, not even yesterday on her birthday, but she has been acting weird today. I thought it was nerves. What's the time stamp on the older video?" I ask.
"8:45pm, why?"
I look at Sergi before my face goes pale. "She messaged me at 8 p.m."
"Saying what, brother?"
I drop my head, then look back at Al.
"She had a surprise for me, and she couldn't wait to tell me. She only told me that it was life changing. She asked where I was, but I never thought much of it. I told her to tell me today as a wedding gift, but she must have decided it was too important to wait; she must have walked in just after I finger-fucked Candice."
Shit, I feel like I could fucking cry like a baby. I rake my hands through my hair, then yank hard.
"But how did she manage to leave? She had to have help, right?" Sergi questions.
I look around, scanning the guests. "Where are Lilly and that fucker Noah?"
Alexandr and Sergi look and frown.
"Let's take a look at the security cameras now!"
I wake up with a start, my heart beating fast from the memories. I look at the clock. 5 AM. Great. I get up to take a leak, then go to my walk-in closet. I look to the left like I always do. All her stuff from the old house is still neatly organized, with her wedding dress at the end of the rounded closet in a glass case. Her wedding shoes are there, too, as well as her Nonna's clip I found on the floor. I don't even think she knew she dropped it.
I drop my chin to my chest and take a deep breath, the dream slicing against an old, never-healing wound. We never did find out who helped her.
The morning of the ceremony, the cameras in the hotel malfunctioned, and again around the time she left, as well as the street cameras. She vanished. We've had several people come forward, stating they've spotted her. They claimed she changed her hair color and added a bit of weight, but it's never her. Last week, I slit a man's throat when he said I was stupid for not recognizing the girl he pointed out was her, but she was around 5'11", with brown eyes. It turns out it was his daughter, and he was a greedy bastard after the $3 million in reward money.
