Chapter 6

Author: Starion
Seth was silent for a long time before he spoke. "Janice, my head's a mess. Can we talk about the engagement and marriage some other time?"

He peeled off his pricey suit and tossed it to the floor.

Out of nowhere, someone blurted out, "Seth, should we tell everyone about how Nevaeh bullied Janice? We should embarrass her."

Seth, already simmering with anger, grabbed the person by the shirt. His voice was icy. "Why don't you try spreading that story? Just try it!"

With that, Seth stormed off, leaving Janice all alone in her fancy wedding dress to face everyone's sneers and taunts.

In no time, the news of Janice's jilted engagement was all over the internet.

That very day, the Wheeler family business's stock took a nosedive.

Back home, Janice had to face her parents' anger. They scolded her for being a failure and blamed her for not being able to keep a man.

Meanwhile, my and Draven's wedding party had wound down. I was heading back from the restroom when I ran smack into Seth. H

    The story was gaining more attention. I had to go see Draven.He and I were in this together. If the story blew up, it could hurt the Gibson Group's stock prices.Draven did not say much after hearing about it and just told me to relax.He made a call, and in less than a minute, the news vanished without a trace.I breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "What do you think of that news story?"Draven looked at me seriously. "I know you, and you're not like that."Don't sweat the small stuff. It won't affect me, and it definitely won't affect the Gibson Group.""If I told you Janice was the one who used to bully me, would you believe it?" I asked.Draven paused for a second, then said with a serious look, "I believe you."Don't worry. I'll make things right for you."Half a month later, I got a call from someone I did not know."Nevaeh, please ask Mr. Gibson to stop going after the Wheeler Group. I know I was wrong."The Wheeler Group is about to fall apart. We can't take t

    I did not say a word.I quietly pulled out the heavy diamond ring that Draven had bought for twenty-two million dollars on our honeymoon.I held Draven's huge ring next to Seth's tiny one. The difference was clear.I asked slowly, "Which one would you choose?"Seth's face turned sour. "When did you become so obsessed with vanity?"I smirked and tucked the ring away. "Did that upset you?"Keep your distance. If you bother me again, I won't hesitate to tell your uncle you're harassing me."Seth stared at me, his eyes wide with shock. "Nevaeh, what happened to you?"Just last month, you were ready to climb a mountain as tall as the sky to get snow water for me. How did you change so quickly?"Nevaeh, I can't believe you don't love me anymore. You're just trying to tease me, aren't you?"I could not stop a giggle from escaping. "Seth, I just realized something. You're so naive, aren't you?"Did you really think I brought you water from the top of a mountain? Look at me! I'm too

    Seth saw my skeptical look and gave me a wry smile. "It's true. I thought I loved her, but I was mistaken."Now I know I really don't want to be engaged to her."Nevaeh, I wanted to punish you before, but I truly care about you..."Can you give me one more chance, please?"His words made me feel sick. "I'm married to your uncle, yet you still dare to make a move on me?""You were my girlfriend! He was the one who stole you from me..."I cut him off quickly. "Stop making things up. You say I was your girlfriend, but would your buddies agree? I was nothing more than a toy in your game of Truth or Dare."I'm right, aren't I, Seth?"Seth stared at me, shocked. "How did you know?"I looked at him with a smirk. "You guys love to badmouth me, but you never realize I've overheard you.""Nevaeh, you've got to believe me. That's not how I really feel..."I did not want to argue anymore. "Look, Seth. From now on, let's just go our separate ways. Pretend I'm just a stranger if you see m

    "That can't be right!"Any woman marrying my uncle would be from a rich family. Nevaeh's an orphan. How could she end up with my uncle?"Seth was stunned and snatched the phone to see for himself. As he saw the bride and groom's faces on the live stream, he froze, unable to move.How could Nevaeh marry his uncle?Did she not love him with all her heart?She had risked so much for him, even her own life...After a tense moment, Seth clenched his teeth and insisted, "Hold on! That's not Nevaeh. They just look alike."Right then, his phone rang. He saw it was me and answered quickly."Nevaeh, where are you? You've missed the engagement ceremony. Don't you know everyone's waiting for you?"Tell me where you are. I'll come get you."I let out an icy laugh. "Why are they waiting?"Is it to see you getting engaged to Janice?"Or to watch you tell everyone I bullied her?"Seth, I'm sorry, but I can't join your last adventure."Seth stood frozen in place, dumbfounded. "You knew?"

    I felt a chill run through me. Why had I not hidden the ring from Draven?I quickly slid the ring off and shoved it in my pocket, looking sad. "I just picked it up at the dollar store for fun."My words set off a wave of laughter in the room.Janice nearly choked on her laughter. "A diamond ring from the dollar store? Nevaeh, you're too much!"Even if Seth won't buy you one, you should get a nicer ring. Isn't getting a fake diamond ring a little desperate?" I kept quiet, pretending to be flustered like Janice had caught me red-handed. I looked at Seth with puppy-dog eyes. Seth wrapped his arms around me and promised, "Nevaeh, don't you worry. By next week, I'll get you a real diamond ring, and you'll be the happiest girl ever."Right after he said that, everyone in the room glanced around, trying not to laugh. I just stared at Seth's 'honest' smile and thought to myself, 'Yeah, right! Next week, I'm marrying your uncle.' Marrying the heir to the Gibson family fortune? Of c
