All Chapters of Planning My Ex-Husband's Wedding : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Eric's POVI silently observed the light atmosphere in my home for a couple of days as I hung around.My sister had been unusually bubbly, and my mother even had a small smile on her face.As we sat down for breakfast the next day, I couldn’t help but watch them laugh heartily over different irrelevant discussions.Lola suddenly burst into the dining room, her eyes teary."Babe, can you imagine that the designer for our wedding literally ruined my wedding dress?" she screeched, causing my brows to knit together in confusion. "What are you talking about?"She suddenly flipped her phone to my face, showing me the image of a beautiful dress that I had to admit was one of the most stunning dresses I had ever seen. She suddenly swiped it over to the next picture, and I was mortified by the disaster the dress had been turned into."How did that happen?" I asked, feigning concern for her, but I was actually concerned for Emily. Who could have done that to her?My gaze shifted to my mother a

Emily's POV"The person who ruined the dress is..."My heart raced with both anticipation and relief as I stared at Eric, who seemed certain."The person who Collins points out," he said, nodding towards the man who walked in with him.I watched anxiously, partially expecting him to meet Alice, who was my greatest suspect. To my horror and shock, he walked in Trisha's direction."This woman, Trisha David, is the culprit," he announced, but I shook my head.It did not add up. Trisha was the warmest person who had worked with me at the Designers' Hub, and we had bonded well over the time we had spent together. The ruin of the dress had broken her as much as it had crushed me. She could not be the culprit.I stepped up, staring squarely at Collins."You must be mistaken, Collins," I snapped, glaring in Eric's direction.Was this another prank of his to get another of my friends in jail for what they knew nothing about?"I am certain of what I am saying," he insisted, glaring at Trisha, w

Emily’s POVI sighed in perfection at the sight of the dress, which clung perfectly to Lola’s skin like a glove.The shimmery effect around the mermaid dress was just what I had envisioned it to be. Lola was indeed made to be a model, as her wearing the dress made her look like a masterpiece herself.“Oh my gosh!” she squealed as she took in her reflection in the full-body mirror that graced the living room walls. “This is so unique. What do you have to say, mother?” she inquired of Cecilia, whose eyes drooped at the dress.She had a permanent frown on her face as she stared down at the dress.Alicia, for one, had not said a word to me since I had stepped into the room, and I was very much relieved. I could, however, feel her eyes boring holes into the back of my head as I walked around Lola, taking note of the things that needed to be corrected.“What are these beads made of? They are not shining as brightly as I expected them to,” Cecilia commented, her eyes fleeting across the dres

"Have you completely lost it? What did he do to you? He is your freaking best friend for crying out loud!"My fingers danced across my phone screen lazily as I listened to my mother scream at me. Surprisingly, she had just found out about Max's imprisonment somehow, and she had refused to let my ears rest since she heard about it."I am talking to you, Eric! You even moved him to a much worse prison! What is wrong with you?" she snapped. "Did you even plan to tell me about it before I found out myself, Eric? You've kept that young man in jail for over five weeks, Eric. What height of cruelty!"I stifled a yawn at her incessant questions, regretting even leaving my room to catch some refreshing air before leaving for the gym later in the evening."Answer me!"My mother's shrill scream caused me to snap my neck in her direction."What is the big deal about it, Mum?" I snapped. "He owed me money and got what he deserved. Period!"Her eyes widened and then narrowed at me, and her jaw tick

Emily's POV.As the days passed, the tension surrounding Max's case continued to mount on me, leaving me almost downcast.I was grateful I had Mia and Anna to keep me sane in the midst of the chaos.Anna, being the supportive friend that she was encouraged me to speak to Eric."Babe, I think you should give Eric a chance," she suddenly suggested, making my mouth fall open."Excuse me?"She sighed on the other end of the line before continuing. "What are you really afraid of, Emily? Do you want to spend that much money on Max, who you barely know? I understand that he is a friend and probably your boyfriend, and you care about him, but don't you think you are taking this a little too personally? This is a battle between two ex-best-friends-""Because of me!" I interjected bitterly. "He never demanded a payment of the debt when I was not in the picture.""I know, and I understand. I also understand that Eric is going about this irrationally, but can you try to see things from his persp
