My dad tries to speak, but I bulldoze past him.

“You’ve never been a father to us, Anthony. Hell, you’re barely even a man. And in case it’s still not clear to you, let me put it in simple terms.” I brush off a tear from my cheek but my voice is unwavering. “I’m no longer your daughter, and I’mdefinitelyno longer your victim. You disgust me and you should disgust yourself. Do yourself a favor and get as far away from me as possible.”

Dev places a protective arm around my waist, pulling me to his side. And with the calm and composure of a lion looking at his injured prey, he delivers his last words, giving me a glimpse of the mafia don I’d seen once before. “You want to dole out threats, asshole? Well, here’s one I’ll make sure to follow through with. Get within a hundred-mile radius of my wife from here on out, and I won’t just bury you. I’ll rip you to shreds and make it look like an accident. You have my fucking word.”

Five Schlongs Hen Party

What the hell is going on in there, @Hudson Case and @Dev Menon? I can’t be sure, but I thought I saw security holding someone back.

Dean Meyer

Yeah, your event planner looks like she’s going to have a stroke. This wedding is already turning out to be more dramatic than that episode ofThe Boys,where Mother’s Milk gets strangled by a superhero’s overextended dick.

Also, thanks for adding me back to the chat, bro. I realize I might have overreacted to the dick tattoo comment last time. In case anyone is wondering, though, Mala was speechless. It might have been because she had my cock in her mouth but, that’s neither here nor there.

Darian Meyer

Jesus. I’m literally sitting next to your wife. I can’t even turn my phone because my wife is on my other side. Can you at least refrain from talking about what you guys do in your bedroom while we’re at Dev’s wedding?

Also, what kind of shitty programming do you watch?

Dean Meyer

Firstly, how do you know I was talking about our bedroom and not ten minutes ago in Mr. and Mrs. Menon’s very ornate hallway bathroom? I’d be extra careful using the luxurious Turkish cotton hand towel if I were you. Secondly, I only watch wholesome classics. I’d recommend it to you, but I’m not sure your wife is old enough to watch R-rated shows.

Anyway, Hudson, what’s the deal? What are you guys doing in there for so long? And why haven’t we been invited?

Garrett Meyer

I honestly can’t believe I shared a womb with you.

Hudson Case

Everything is fine now. I’m just heading over to Dev’s room to get him a new shirt. Any chance one of you can get him an ice pack?

Darian Meyer

Uh . . .?

Dean Meyer

Ice pack? New shirt? What the hell happened? Did he try to pet Piper’s hairless pussy and she just wasn’t having it? Mala gets that way sometimes when it’s the time of the month.

Dude! Rani is literally looking over my shoulder to see what we’re chatting about. Can you chill with the cat references?
