The entire room turned toward me.
Oliver blinked in confusion.
“What are you doing?” he whispered.
I stepped forward calmly.
“Before we continue,” I said to the guests, “I’d like everyone to hear something.”
Behind us, the large decorative screen lit up.
Earlier that morning, the wedding planner had connected it to the sound system.
A recording began to play.
Oliver’s voice echoed through the room.
“After the wedding, I’ll get her house and savings… She disgusts me.”
Gasps spread through the guests.
Then Sarah’s voice followed.
“Once she signs, you’ll have everything.”
The laughter from that phone call filled the venue.
Oliver’s face drained of color.
“Sharon, wait—” he stammered.
But the recording continued.
When it finally ended, the room was silent.
I turned to Oliver.
“You forgot something yesterday,” I said calmly. “You forgot to hang up.”
Sarah looked like she might faint.
Several guests stared at Oliver in shock.
The officiant quietly stepped aside.
Oliver tried to grab my arm.
“This isn’t what it sounds like—”
I pulled my hand away.
“Oh, I know exactly what it sounds like,” I replied.
