Backup Girl No More Adios to my V-card and My First Love (Brooklyn) novel Chapter 89

The front row saw it first, causing a ripple of panic. 

Luke moved swiftly, but I wasn’t his target. 

Chaos erupted as he lunged at Gavin. 

I tried to stop him, but too late. 

“Watch out!” 

People rushed forward, pushing me aside. 

Blood splattered the ground–but not Gavin’s. 

The knife was lodged in Luke’s abdomen.

His hands covered in red, he looked at me with hurt eyes. 

“Yvonne, it hurts so much…‘

For a moment, I flashed back to years ago when he insisted on cooking and cut his finger. He had given me the same wounded look then. 

But I would never again cradle his hands and bandage his wounds. 

I rushed to Gavin, checking his injuries. 

Thankfully, Gavin only had a scratch on his arm. 

In the crowd, someone called an ambulance while others surrounded Luke. 

His gaze burned into me, but I didn’t look back. 

They took Luke away. 

The wedding continued in disarray, somehow making it to the end. 

I didn’t see him for a long time after that.

Then came rumors of suicide attempts, each time rescued just in time. 

Later, I heard his father found Mandy, hoping she could help Luke recover. 

It backfired–they found Mandy barely alive, brutalized by Luke. 

They say she was permanently disabled. 

I didn’t actively seek this news, just lived my life. 

On my next birthday, Gavin wanted to throw a big party, but I refused. 

Instead, I baked myself an ugly cake. 

I’d grown to love documenting life, posting casual photos on social media. 

Luke liked one of my posts. 

After that, I only heard about him through the news. 

His ruthless tactics let him take over the family business in just a year. 

Or stories of his affairs with women who’d had extensive plastic surgery. 

Their faces all resembled someone–more or less.
