Chapter 8

Author: Wild Wheat
The kiss was domineering and lingering. It wasn't until I was nearly out of breath that Joshua finally pulled away.

Howard was shaking with rage.

Joshua took a step toward him. "It looks like Schultz Corporation has been doing a little too well lately if you have this much time to question the relationship between my fiancee and me."

Howard glared at him with a mixture of hatred and fear. "Mr. Zimmerman, you can't use business tactics in your love life. If you're so capable, compete with me fairly!"

He turned back to me. "Celine, don't be afraid. I'm only going through a rough patch now. Just give me a little time, and I'll climb back to the top and give you the life you wanted."

I stared at the photo album in his hands and said nothing.

Seeing that, Howard became even more smug. "Mr. Zimmerman, what's the use of being so rich and successful? You'll never win Celine's heart. No one can ever replace what she and I had."

Joshua endured every remark. I knew he was waiting for my re

  • I Changed My Husband After a Crash   Chapter 9

    Joshua and I turned out to be unexpectedly compatible. After expressing our feelings, our relationship progressed quickly, both emotionally and physically.The next day was our wedding day. That night, we each had our own pre-wedding parties.Before leaving, Joshua, concerned, told me, "Call me anytime if something happens."I laughed. "What could possibly happen? Don't worry. Go have fun."To keep the atmosphere relaxed, I only had bodyguards stationed outside. But I never imagined Howard would sneak into my bachelorette party.In the latter half of the night, everyone was drunk, including me. Someone handed me a glass of water. Thinking it was a friend, I accepted it and took two sips.My head grew heavier and heavier until I eventually lost consciousness.When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was Howard's ugly face."You're insane! You actually kidnapped me? Joshua will kill you!" I yelled, but my voice was weak.Behind Howard, I saw Crystal smirking. She stepp

    Celine's POVWhen I first met Joshua, he did feel a little familiar.My gaze dropped to the watch on his wrist, and a guess formed in my mind. "You were the passerby from that day?"Realizing I was still holding onto him, I quickly retracted my hand. A hint of disappointment flashed across his face as he gave a small nod. "I really like the watch. But your ex-boyfriend doesn't seem ready to give up. Do you need my help?"I shook my head. "I'll handle it. It won't affect our arranged marriage." Gesturing to the jewelry, I added, "These are too expensive. The watch I gave you probably isn't even worth a fraction of all this. You should return them."Besides, I had only given him that watch by accident. "We're getting married next month. My woman deserves the best. Just accept them. There will be plenty more in the future."And true to his word, there was. Ever since our first meeting at the ring shop, Joshua thought of new ways to give me things almost every day—clothes, jewelr

  • I Changed My Husband After a Crash   Chapter 6

    Third-Person's POVEven after returning home, Howard refused to believe that Celine would actually marry someone else—and not just anyone, but Joshua Zimmerman, the second son of the Zimmerman family and the future head of Zimmerman Group.He thought about how he always had the final say with Celine, and how utterly devoted she was to him. It was something everyone around them could clearly see.But the way she looked at him earlier was cold and distant, as if she were looking at a stranger.Howard tore through the house, searching around aimlessly, only to find that nothing had changed. He told himself that Celine was merely upset, that she was waiting for him to coax her back.But she was a wealthy heiress who never really cared for material items. And what happened that day didn't seem like an act.Howard shut himself in the study, his mind reeling. In a burst of frustration, he kicked over the trash can and saw the photo album and USB drive. A grim intuition told him he w

    The voice was low and magnetic. Immediately, the chatty salesclerks fell silent and stepped aside. "Good afternoon, sir!"I looked up to see a tall, strikingly handsome man approaching. His features were sharp, his eyes bright, and he exuded a majestic yet imposing presence.He landed a brutal punch on Howard's jaw, then turned nimbly to stand beside me. Taking out a handkerchief, he meticulously wiped his hands. "Sorry, I'm late."This was Joshua Zimmerman, the man I was arranged to marry.He clapped once, and the salesclerks hurriedly brought out tray after tray of wedding rings. Diamonds and other rare gemstones glimmered under the lights so brilliantly that I almost had to squint.Clinging to Howard's arm, Crystal screeched, "You crazy man! How dare you hit Howie? Do you have any idea who he is…"But her voice faltered mid-sentence, her jaw dropping. "Is that the Pink Star diamond? And that's the Rockefeller emerald. Oh my god, a Chrysoberyl cat's eye! And that's a Padparadsc

  • I Changed My Husband After a Crash   Chapter 4

    I had never seen Howard this angry before. His veins bulged, and his eyes were as red as a trapped beast's. "Apologize," he demanded. "I said, apologize to her!"I reached behind me, and my hand came away wet. I was bleeding; I had hit my back so hard. "I didn't—"But Howard cut me off. He didn't even glance at my injury; he just kept pressing me to apologize. Behind him, Crystal flashed a devious smile.All the strength drained from my body, leaving nothing but a hollow shell. Numb and feeling ridiculous, I obeyed. "Crystal, I'm sorry."Howard snorted coldly, then walked away with Crystal in his arms.My gaze fell on the handmade photo album on the table. If Howard had just glanced in its direction, he wouldn't have missed it. I didn't need it anymore.I tossed the album and the USB drive—filled with all our memories—straight into the trash.Late that night, Howard came over, looking exhausted. "Crystal will be sleeping in the guest room on the second floor. She won't bother
