Chapter 5 While West screamed himself hoarse , the footage kept rolling- His parents ' suicide . Pills scattered on the nightstand . The note they left behind . West on his knees , sobbing . " I'll make the Kincaids pay for this ! " Then it cut to another video- Margot performing the vasectomy procedure . Tattooing him . West's voice echoing through the ballroom : " Margot , I'm yours . Please ... I'll do anything . " Then the charity gala footage- His voice again : ' Margot's pregnant . " The room erupted . Cameras flashed . Whispers turned into shouts . ' Holy fuck , he knocked up his family's enemy ? " ' Dude's got a death wish or what ? " A whole ass wedding ? For HER ? This is fucking embarrassing . " Yeah , I'm out . Pulling every investment from Vaughn Holdings . This is a goddamn dumpster fire . " West went pale . le rushed at me and grabbed my shoulders , shaking me , Autumn Hale ! What the FUCK are you doing ?! " I invited you here to support me , not blow up my life ! " ' Get on your fucking knees and apologize to Margot RIGHT NOW or I swear to God- " I grabbed a glass of champagne off a passing tray . And threw it in his face . " Want me on my knees ? " " Not gonna happen , asshole . " Chapter S Margot shoved past him , getting right up in my face . You're still technically his wife , you know that ? Which makes you what - the Vaughns ' little bitch ? " " Newsflash , sweetie - the one who's not loved ? That's the side piece . " " And that's YOU . " I shoved her hard . She hit the floor with a satisfying thud . I was about to go after her again when West stepped between us . " Margot's right . You're acting like a rabid dog . " " Either apologize , or we're done . For REAL this time . " " Without the Vaughn name ? You're nobody . Just another nobody . " He pulled out his phone and called his lawyer right there . Had him draw up divorce papers on the spot . Signed them . And threw them in my face . I didn't even flinch . Just tore them to shreds . " Changed my mind anyway . " He looked smug as hell . " Don't wanna divorce ? Cool . Then let Margot beat your ass . Maybe that'll calm her down . " I let out this sharp , bitter laugh . This man I'd bled for . Nearly died for . Was now feeding me to the wolves . " In your dreams ! " Just then , my assistant walked over and handed me an envelope . I opened it slowly . Cameras still going . Everyone watching . Pulled out my copy of the finalized divorce certificate . Tossed it at West . " We're already done . " West's hands trembled as he snatched it up , flipping through the pages like he couldn't process what he was seeing . " Autumn ! You sneaky bitch ! " " You think you can forge legal documents and get away with it ?! " " Forge ? Baby , this is real . Go check the courthouse yourself if you don't believe me . " Then I turned toward the wall of cameras and reporters crowding closer . " Just so everyone's clear - I'm officially divorced from Westley Vaughn . Hale and Vaughn ? Done . Over . Nothing to do with each other . " Then I looked back at him . My voice ice - cold . 13:10 He Made Me Apologize to His ' Work Wife ' I RSVP'd ' Hell Yes ' with a Vow Exchange : Til Death Do Us Part 542 Chapter 5 " Oh , and West ? Remember last year's anniversary trip ? The bungee jumping ? " Your precious Margot cut my harness . I almost splattered all over the canyon floor . " " So congrats on wifing up someone who tried to murder me . Really classy move . " " ENOUGH ! " West's hand shot out and cracked across my cheek . Again . " Autumn ! " " I've been WAY too fucking nice to you ! " " You crash my wedding, destroy my reputation , and now you're spreading lies about Margot ?! " " Apologize . Now . Or my lawyers will bury you ! " Chapter 6
