Chapter 7 - The Blinking Light

Liam frowned heavily, a flicker of genuine confusion breaking through his arrogant, untouchable facade. "What the hell are you talking about? Stop stalling and just say the vows, Chloe."
Chloe took a deliberate, powerful step back from the altar. She raised her white rose bouquet, slowly parting the delicate, fragrant petals with her perfectly manicured fingers.
Tucked deeply inside the lush white flowers, completely hidden from plain sight, was a tiny, black electronic device with a single, blinking green light.
"I found the ultrasound hidden in Marin’s purse three days ago," Chloe said, her voice eerily calm and dripping with newfound power. "At first, I was just going to cancel the wedding. But then I did some digging. I hacked into Dad’s financial records. I saw the massive, illegal wire transfers from your offshore accounts. I realized that my own parents sold me to you to cover up their felony tax evasion."
Her father’s face went completely ashen white. "Chloe... what is that?" he stammered, pointing a shaking, terrified finger at the device in her flowers.
"This?" Chloe tilted the bouquet so the blinking light was fully visible to all of them. "It’s a high-grade, long-range wireless microphone. I bought it yesterday."
Liam let out a loud, mocking laugh, shaking his head. "A microphone? What are you going to do, record us? My expensive lawyers will have that audio thrown out of court before you even make it to the parking lot. You have no power here, you stupid girl."

Chloe’s smile widened into something terrifying. "I’m not recording this, Liam. I’m live-broadcasting it."
