Groom From Hell: Reborn to Stop the Betrayal Chapter 8
Three months later, the case went to trial.Patrick was convicted on multiple counts, including fraud, sexual assault, intentional injury, and forgery. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.Ariel was sentenced to eight years for intentional injury and false imprisonment.On the day of the sentencing, I sat in the gallery, watching the two of them being led out of the courtroom.As Ariel passed by my row, she suddenly stopped."Caleb."Her voice was barely a whisper, stripped of the biting malice she used to carry."Are you really the one who pulled me out of that fire?"I looked at her and gave a single nod.Tears immediately flooded her eyes."I am so sorry!" she choked out. "I was blinded by a lie for three years. I genuinely thought he was my savior. I thought he was the good guy and you were the monster. I did so many horrible things. I'm sorry. I failed you and your mother."I remained silent for a beat."Eight years," I said quietly. "Serve your time well. Start ove

Three days later, Mom woke up from her coma.The moment she opened her eyes and saw Grandpa, I expected her to coldly turn her head away like she used to.But she didn't.She just looked at him silently, tears streaming down her face. Her lips trembled as she choked out a single word, "Dad."Grandpa held her hand and wept like a child.As I watched them from the doorway of the ward, my nose stung with emotion.Mom's recovery was remarkably fast. The specialists called it a medical miracle.Perhaps it was because the medical care Grandpa provided was lightyears ahead of what she had before, or perhaps it was because her long-held resentment had finally dissolved.A week later, she was already well enough to sit up and talk.That afternoon, the sunlight streamed in warmly. Leaning against the headboard, she slowly began telling me stories she had never told me before."Your grandpa didn't object to my marriage because he was a snob," she said softly. "It was because he had run

"But he shouldn't have touched Mom," I said.Grandpa looked at me, a flicker of approval crossing his face."You're right," he said. "He shouldn't have. There's one more thing."Grandpa pulled out another document. "It's about Ariel."I looked up."Three years ago, Ariel was finishing her PhD at Seabrook Medical College. One night, while she was working late in the lab, a fire broke out. She was trapped on the fourth floor. A man rushed into the burning building and carried her out on his back."I blinked, stunned. "That man was Patrick?""No." Grandpa shook his head. "It was you."I was completely dumbfounded."You were at the medical college that night to pick up Rosie's prescription. When you saw the smoke, you ran straight into the fire. You managed to drag her out, but then you collapsed."By the time you both arrived at the hospital, severe smoke inhalation had caused you to suffer temporary amnesia. And Patrick happened to be on the scene."Grandpa's gaze turned frigi

The lights inside the military garrison's interrogation room were blindingly white.Ariel was handcuffed to a metal chair. Her hair was a disheveled mess, and her wedding dress was still damp with the pungent chemical stench of the decontamination room.Her lips were completely bloodless, and she shook uncontrollably.In the neighboring room, Patrick was so paralyzed with fear that he had already wet himself.Grandpa sat behind the one-way mirror with a thick stack of manila folders laid out on the table before him."Caleb, take a look at this."I took the file from him. The first page contained basic personal information.Patrick Morris. Male. 29 years old. Born in Seabrook.It was all very ordinary information, and I couldn't see anything out of place."Flip to the second page."I did, and my entire body froze.It was a DNA test report. Patrick and I shared the same biological father."How is this even possible?" My voice was cracked and raspy, and my hands began to tremb

I opened my eyes to see a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.The man was in his late 60s, standing tall in a crisp military uniform. The sight of the general stars on his shoulders made my eyes sting.He stood in front of the meat grinder. With one hand, he slammed the power switch off. With the other, he grabbed the guard by the throat and tossed him ten feet away like a ragdoll.Ariel turned deathly pale. "Who the hell are you?"Ignoring her completely, the old man turned to look at me as I lay broken on the floor.His gaze, which was hardened and stern, instantly welled with tears the moment it landed on me."Caleb."He crouched beside me and cupped my face in his rough, calloused hands. His voice trembled as he said, "You look so much like your mother."My mind went completely blank.In my entire life, I never knew I had a grandfather.Mom never spoke about her side of the family. Whenever I asked, she would either fall completely silent or tell me they were all

Ariel looked at me, her eyes pooling with tears. "Caleb, the wedding is still on. We'll just tell everyone I was treating Patrick for a medical emergency. That way, our family's reputation will remain intact."I caught Patrick flashing me a smug grin. Then, I looked back at the glaring smear of red on Ariel's wedding dress, and my eyes stung with tears."And what if I refuse?"Fury instantly flashed across Ariel's face. "If you refuse, don't blame me for being heartless when I throw your mom out of the hospital!"Looking at this woman who now felt like a complete stranger, I couldn't help but ask, "I have never done anything to hurt you. Why are you doing this to me?"Ariel's voice turned ice-cold. "You haven't done anything to hurt me, but you ruined Patrick."I froze.She let out a sneer. "You pretended to be his best friend while systematically stealing 99 of his girlfriends. You even coached them on bedroom positions and filmed them. Don't you find yourself absolutely disgus
