Chapter 4 " You've all been asking when I'd have an heir . Well , now you know . " I felt like I'd been struck by lightning . My husband got snipped - and I had no clue . I'd been trying for years to get pregnant . And his side piece was carrying his kid . And I was , once again , the last to fucking know . let out this bitter laugh and walked up to them . West . Is this why you didn't want me here ? " He spun around , panic flashing in his eyes . Autumn , let me explain- " But Margot cut him off , voice dripping with smugness . Explain what ? " I told you . Without my permission , West wouldn't let anyone else have his baby . " And the mother of his kid ? That's only ever gonna be me ! " Before I could say anything , the older Vaughns exploded . Westley ! You got your family's enemy pregnant ?! " How can you even look at your parents ' graves ?! " West's face went red , but he shot back . Would you rather I stayed stuck in revenge mode forever ? Let hate run my life ? " Someone jabbed a finger at him , shaking with rage . What about Autumn? Without her , you'd have nothing ! " " You don't even have kids with her yet and you knock up that snake ? What's wrong with you ?! " When the whole room turned on him , the guilt finally disappeared from West's face . He shoved Margot aside and marched up to me . And SLAP- " Autumn , holy shit , I didn't know you were this petty ! Getting my family to gang up on Margot ? " Chapter 4 " You think I'm gonna cave just ' cause you pulled that stunt ? " " I'm outta here for a while . Maybe use that time to figure out what the hell's wrong with you . " Then he grabbed Margot's hand and walked out without looking back . I couldn't help but laugh . No wonder he rushed to bring her to the gala . Turns out he wanted to make the kid legitimate . That night , my phone kept lighting up with transaction alerts . All from luxury wedding vendors . The past few months , West dumped all his cash into expanding his company .. So he'd been using my credit card to take Margot to fancy events . She even posted online : [ I should've made a move first . Then that bitch wouldn't have had a shot . ] I became the joke of our entire social circle . Late that night , West came home . He handed me an envelope . Tomorrow I'm marrying Margot . " ' But I'm not divorcing you . You're still a Vaughn . You're still ... you know , mine . " 'I really hope you'll come . Be there for me . " Then he left . Didn't wait for me to respond . Westley Vaughn . You really want me at your wedding that bad ? Fine . 11 give you a gift you'll never forget ! On the wedding day , the venue was packed . Margot glowed in white , clinging to West's arm . But when they walked into the ballroom and saw funeral wreaths everywhere and candles flickering on every table , their smiles died . West's voice boomed across the room . " Where's the event coordinator?! What the hell is this ?! " I stepped out from behind the curtain , smiling . 13:10 He Made Me Apologize to His ' Work Wife ' ... I RSVP'd ' Hell Yes ' with a Vow Exchange : Til Death Do Us Part Chapter 4 " Such an important day . How could your parents miss it ? " Behind me , the huge screen lit up . Giant photos of West's mom and dad stared down at the room . West's eyes filled with tears . He let go of Margot and stumbled toward me . " Autumn , what the fuck are you doing ?! " " TURN IT OFF ! Turn it off right now or I swear- " I smirked . " Easy . The show's just starting . " Then the screen changed . And the second West saw what it was , he completely lost it . " TURN IT OFF ! FUCKING TURN IT OFF ! " Chapter 5
