My Greedy Bride's Deadly Mistake

On my wedding night, just as I was carrying my new bride toward the bedroom, my deadbeat brother-in-law stretched out an arm to block my way.

"Logan, you want in? That’ll be an entrance fee of $8,888."

I thought it was just a typical playful wedding prank, so I smiled and handed him the envelope of cash I had prepared in advance.

He weighed it in his hand, sneered, and tossed it straight to the floor.

"What is this, pocket change for a beggar? I’m talking about your daily overnight fee from here on out!"

I froze, wondering if I had misheard him.
