Groom Swap at the Wedding Chapter 12
I was about to say I'd go with the police and handle it myself, but my friend spoke up first."I don't believe Marcus would do something like this. I'll go with him," he said firmly.He paused before adding, just as steady, "But let's be clear on one thing. If this turns out to be a false accusation, how will you make it right? And what about the damage to our company?"Zachary clearly hadn't expected that. The confidence on his face wavered.I didn't want to drag anyone else into this, so I said to my friend, "It's fine. I can handle it myself. You need to protect your company—you don't need to get involved."My friend looked at me, irritation flashing across his face. "Listen to yourself," he snapped. "I was the one who asked you to join me back then. Around here, I'm the one closest to you."It's one thing for others to turn their backs on you—but if I did that too, what would that say about me? We're going together. End of discussion."The officers wasted no time. They moved

Back then, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. I then sent the money back to Rose, and we quickly got back together.Was she trying to use this as some kind of compensation for me, again?She seemed to have forgotten that for someone who had been hurt, gestures like this never meant anything—they only eased the giver's conscience.Without hesitation, I transferred the money back. Almost immediately, the transfer failed—Rose had closed the account.I was wondering what to do next when a friend messaged me. We ended up chatting for a while, and by the time we were done, it was late. I let it slip from my mind.After the New Year, the company had grown significantly. Yet on the first day back at work, an unexpected incident occurred.As soon as I arrived, I saw a crowd gathered outside the company gates, arguing."What's going on?" I walked over, puzzled.The employees made way for me, and I finally saw a few police officers standing there—Zachary and Rose beside them.Wh

I froze, thinking I must've misheard.After that, I walked toward the stairwell and saw Zachary and Rose, both with dark, stormy expressions.They looked like they'd just had a fight.I was stunned.After all, before my divorce from Rose, whenever they met, they were inseparable—getting along flawlessly."Me, making a scene? Are you serious? If we can't even manage our own lives, how are you going to raise a child?"Rose's face flushed red, her voice sharp but controlled.Zachary sneered, "Are you blaming me for the company's current situation?"A heavy silence fell between them.Rose didn't answer, but I could read the conflict in her eyes. She always tempered her words with him, careful not to hurt him. I knew that look well; if it had been me standing there, the one at fault, I couldn't even imagine her holding back.Zachary wasn't done. He scoffed and said, "Rose, maybe you should start by looking at yourself instead of blaming others. Clearly, you couldn't run the compan

Rose explained that Zachary couldn't go back to his hometown for the New Year and that being alone made him lonely, so she wanted to keep him company.She added that I'd always been on my own and was probably used to the emptiness, that being alone might even suit me better.But she seemed to forget why my life had been so empty in the first place.I scrolled through my phone, bored out of my mind, when my thumb froze. Zachary had posted a picture on Instagram—and tagged me.In the picture, Rose was laughing, hiding her face in Zachary's chest with her hands over her ears. Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the distance.The caption read, "Being abandoned isn't the end. You'll always find someone who makes you happier and more comfortable."The post was clearly meant to get under my skin.I thought about it for a moment before tapping the like button. I then commented, "Must be nice. Unlike me, stuck alone on my new couch in my new apartment."I'd heard that not long ago, Rose's co

However, Rose didn't seem to realize that it only worked because I loved her.Now, I couldn't care less about her antics.Seeing that I remained silent, Rose looked a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, she finally pulled out her trump card. "Alright, Marcus. I know what you're angry about. I'll give you a raise tomorrow. I'll even promote you to general manager. Think of it as compensation, and we'll just forget about this whole thing, okay?"Before I could respond, the friend beside me—who had been silent the entire time—spoke up."Compensation in shares?" He let out a light laugh before saying, "Sorry, Marcus' ex-wife, but Marcus is now a shareholder in our company. Do you think it's appropriate to poach him so blatantly?"Rose's face turned pale. "What did you say? Shareholder?"My friend didn't notice her expression. He leaned toward me with a grin and said softly, "Marcus, so this is the ex-wife you told me about? You turned me down so many times before because o

I deliberately held up the last page of the divorce agreement so that she could clearly see the signature.Rose froze. The contempt on her face faded, replaced by a more serious look. Then, as if a thought occurred to her, she sneered, "Marcus, do you know the legal consequences of falsifying a divorce agreement?""You copied my signature pretty well," she added smugly, raising an eyebrow. "I don't recall signing anything like this."She was completely convinced I'd faked her signature.I didn't argue. I simply handed the agreement to her. "Take a close look to see if that's a forged signature."Rose looked irritated but still took the document, examining the signature carefully.After a moment, her brows slowly knit together.It seemed she had finally figured it out—this was unmistakably her own signature.Rose's signature was distinctive—full of tiny details that were extremely difficult to imitate.Her expression darkened, and nearly half a minute passed in silence.Finall
