Forget About Me, Billionaire

CHRISTY:Runaway bride. Billionaire jilted groom. Yes. I was Everette Watson's runaway bride. A billionaire and owned a multi-billion company where my father was also an investor. Our marriage was about a potential business marriage, but since I was a romantic fool who believed in love, I did not accept the marriage and ran away even if I risked my parent's wrath. My parents disowned me, but did not care about it thinking this was my life and I was the only one who could decide for me."You look lovely in that dress, by the way," Everette commented while devouring me. It was an overlapped v-neck red dress which I had been saving for occasions like this. The fit was perfect for my size. If he was the Rett I chatted with three months ago, I would be happy by now. But seeing him made me look like a fool.Did he even know it was me behind the screen name? Did he know it was me replying to his messages? Did I fall into Everette's trap?But I never noticed any signs that he knew me. T

CHRISTINA:This was supposed to be a joyful day, but how come it led to this? My heart was already full of anger so that tears wouldn't come out of my eyes. It had been a couple of hours since I left our house and stayed in my car. I wanted to go to Poppy and pour my heart out, but Sebastian and her were newly made up and I did not want to become a burden to them. If I had known I had such kind of parents' I would have never been born."You're fat. Do some exercise," I remember Mom said upon seeing how my clothes no longer fit. I had an additional half pound on my weight and she already said I was fat, though there was nothing wrong with being fat."Wear some bangs. You have a huge forehead," she said another time.I never remember her praising me for being good. For excelling in my academics. All she was focused on was my physical appearance and how I was different from my peers who were already marrying billionaire husbands.Mom did not know how to show affection to us, nor did

CHRISTY:I looked for any hint that Everette was only joking, but the way his eyes twinkled was an indication that he was not. He wanted a wedding? He wanted to show off how he was so rich.A shiver ran down my spine as I imagined myself with all the cameras on me. Then, Everette was all smiles at the camera. That’s not going to happen.I will choose my own wedding whether he wants it or not. “I refuse to marry you if you insist on that kind of luxurious wedding.”Mom would be happy about it. To show off, but not me. If I was going to wed over someone whom I did not even love, I might as well go on with the kind of wedding I wanted. Everette’s brows furrowed. “Why? Christina. What kind of woman would not want that kind of wedding? That’s how my wedding would be. That’s also what my family wanted,” he explained. Ah, right. Everette had a loving family compared to mine. They had such close ties that even his brothers and sisters were living in their mansion. I had no problem with t

CHRISTY:“Are you jealous, husband?” I asked, trying to act innocent. “That's so cute of you.”Then, I accidentally bumped into Everette's side. He was so completely taken by surprise that he nearly fell on the floor.He looked at me with surprise while I looked at him innocently. "Sorry. I got carried away. You look so cute when you are jealous."He cleared his throat and said, “I'm not cute. You're changing the topic. But you did not answer my question, Christina. Who is that mayor to you?"I turned serious. "My ex-boyfriend? Do you mean Raven? What about him"?His face fell. "You invited your ex-boyfriend to your own wedding?"Scanning the surroundings, I could not help but be amused at the interior of the house. The furniture. The paintings on the wall and the chandeliers and everything in it were amazing. This was nothing compared to the cheap apartment I rented. This place screamed home. "I can sense nothing wrong with that, Everette. I am always friends with all my exes and

CHRISTY:When no one was able to say anything, it was Everette who broke the silence. He cleared his throat and said, “Everyone. I wanted you to meet my wife. You haven’t met her earlier, but here she is.”His Mother looked at me from head to foot and her eyes were back at my face again. Something was telling me that I should be wary of this woman. Plus the fact that she had not forgotten what I had done to his son. Seeing my mother-in-law was like seeing Mom. She was like Mom who never was happy with anything I did. Everette's mother was disappointed. All of Everette’s family were. If they were not, why would they fail to come to our wedding?Does it matter? It was only a marriage out of paying your parent’s debt, right? Whatever they will think is none of my concern. All I had to do was wait until Everette would be the one to divorce me. “You did not tell me we have our visitor,” I commented, trying to act cool even if my hands were already cold.“We want to surprise our son an
