I Buried My Fiancé And Married His Brother Chapter 67: What Was Waiting Inside
ChristabelThe sound of the gunshot seemed to hang in the air long after it had actually stopped, and for one suspended, terrible second, none of us moved at all.Then Sebastian was running, and I was right behind him, both of us sprinting toward the church doors with the police officers shouting for us to wait, to let them go first, words that barely registered over the roar of my own pulse in my ears.The doors gave way easily, unlocked, and we burst into a nave lit only by a few flickering emergency lights, shadows stretching long and wrong across the pews, and there, near the altar, two figures on the ground."Gabriel." Sebastian's voice cracked as he ran toward his brother, who was slumped against the base of the altar, one hand pressed hard against his shoulder, blood seeping between his fingers, his face pale but his eyes open, alert, alive."I'm okay," Gabriel gasped, though his voice shook badly enough to contradict the words. "S

Sebastian The note was sitting on Gabriel's neatly made bed when we got there, folded once, my name written across the front in handwriting I hadn't seen since we were kids passing messages under our father's dinner table. Christabel read it over my shoulder, her breath catching audibly at the first line. *I can't sit here and let you two fight my war while I hide behind your security team. I know where she'd go if things went wrong. I'm going to find her myself and end this, one way or another. If I'm wrong about this, I'm sorry. For everything. Tell Jane I loved her, even from a distance.* "He's going to get himself killed," Christabel said, her voice tight with fear. "Sebastian, this reads like a goodbye." "I know." I was already moving, pulling up Sophie's number, my hands steadier than I expected given how fast my heart was hammering. "Sophie, I need every camera near the factory checked immediately, and pull Gabriel's phone location if it's still on." "Already on it,

I Buried My Fiancé And Married His Brother Chapter 65: Rock Bottom
SebastianFournier's office felt smaller than I remembered, the walls pressing in around me as I waited for Christabel to arrive, the fraudulent filing sitting on the desk between Fournier and me like something radioactive."I want to be direct with you," Fournier said, once Christabel had settled into the chair beside me, breathless from rushing across the city. "This filing complicates matters significantly. Even knowing it's fraudulent, even with Sophie's evidence tracing it back to compromised credentials, the formal record now shows an active ownership dispute alongside the marriage legitimacy question. I cannot simply dismiss it without a proper hearing, which means the resolution timeline I'd hoped to give you has extended considerably.""How long," I asked, dread settling heavy in my chest."Months, potentially, given how thoroughly this needs to be untangled. I'm sorry. I know that's not what either of you wanted to hear."Christabel's hand found mine, but something in the ge

ChristabelSophie spent the next three days buried in legal filings, working with Fournier's office to get the fraudulent claim dismissed, and I watched Sebastian retreat further into himself with each passing hour, the warmth from that hallway conversation replaced by something colder, more controlled, a version of him I hadn't seen since the very first days of our marriage."You're doing it again," I said, finding him in his office late one night, hunched over documents he'd already read a dozen times. "Shutting everyone out. Handling it alone.""I'm handling a legal crisis, Christabel. That requires focus.""It requires focus. It doesn't require pushing away everyone who's trying to help you through it." I crossed my arms, watching him carefully. "You haven't slept properly in three days. You barely eat unless Odette puts a plate directly in front of you. Jane asked me yesterday why Papa doesn't smile anymore."Something flickered across his face, guilt and exhaustion tangled toget
I Buried My Fiancé And Married His Brother Chapter 63: Grieving Her Twice
SebastianGabriel slept for fourteen hours straight once we got him home, and I sat outside his door for most of that first night, unable to fully trust that he was safe until I'd checked on him three, four, five times, some old instinct from childhood refusing to quiet down no matter how many times security confirmed the building was secure.Christabel found me there around two in the morning, sitting on the floor with my back against the wall, and she settled down beside me without a word, resting her head against my shoulder."You should sleep," she said eventually."I keep thinking about what Vivienne said. About Elena." My voice came out rougher than I meant it to. "A miscalculation. Three years of grief, of blaming you, of believing I'd failed to protect her, and it comes down to someone getting a dosage wrong while trying to frighten her into silence.""That doesn't make it less devastating. It makes it worse, if anything." Christabel's hand found mine in the dark hallway. "She
