The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 22

Connor turned pale as a sheet, his eyes wide as dinner plates riveted on Debby, one of the bridesmaids.

That chick, she must be up to no good!

Belinda's joyous smile slowly hardened into a grimace. She gaped in disbelief at her groom-to-be, "Connor, what's the deal between you and that woman? What were you two doing in the storage room?"

Connor gently laid a hand on Belinda's shoulder, "Belinda, let me explain, it's not what you think! That bridesmaid said she was feeling sick and asked me to help her get to the storage room. But once we were in, she started undressing and tried to seduce me! I was freaked out and bolted right out of there, I swear I didn't do anything!"

Belinda was far from convinced by Connor's explanation. She pushed him away and headed towards the four bridesmaids on the stage, "Which one of you is the woman in the video? Step forward now!"

From the back, Debby sneakily shoved a yawning Ellinor forward. Caught off guard, Ellinor stumbled and ended up standing in front of Belinda!

Belinda was taken aback, furrowing her brow, "You?"

In the audience, Jonah was enjoying the drama unfold, "Theo, your wife is trying to seduce the groom at someone else's wedding? And that groom is your niece's fiancé! Oh boy..."

Theo remained quiet, watching silently.

Ellinor, always a bit slow when yawning, took a moment to collect herself, then shook her head, "Just look at the dress the woman in the video is wearing. It's clear who it is. My dress doesn’t have a ruffled neckline.”

Debby glanced down and realized, darn it! Among the four bridesmaids, only her dress had that design!

She quickly blamed Ellinor, "It was her! She seduced the groom! She was originally wearing this dress, but after she went to the bathroom, she suggested we swap dresses. I didn’t think much of it and agreed. Turns out she seduced the groom and switched dresses to frame me!"

Belinda and Ellinor exchanged glances.
