The day my family and the Fido family decided I should marry Callum Fido, I shocked everyone by rejecting the arrangement. Without hesitation, I instead chose Jaxon Fido, Callum’s uncle. Everyone was stunned. After all, everyone in Central City knew I, Moon Sawyer, had loved Callum more than I loved myself. When I was young and naive, I had declared I would marry no one but him. I followed him for ten years and lost who I was in the process. If he told me to go left, I would never dare turn right. If he told me to jump into the ocean, I would have done it without thinking. In my past life, I got to marry Callum, just like I always wanted. But on our wedding day, he shut the door in my face. He pressed the knife he had personally sharpened against my chest and said, “The one I love and want to marry has always been Ruby. The only way you’ll enter this house is as a dead body.” Ruby Sawyer was my sister. The Fido family had called him ungrateful and forced him to go through with the marriage. But after the wedding, he kept looking for women who looked like Ruby and flaunted his affection for them in front of everyone. He let every one of his mistresses insult me, belittle me, and walk all over me. When I was pregnant, I was pushed down the stairs, and both my baby and I died. With a second chance at life, I chose to stay away from him and let him be with Ruby. But I never expected that the day the Fido family agreed to my new engagement, Callum would completely lose his mind.
Lihat lebih banyakThe wedding was grand.Jaxon had put so much effort into it.The road from my house to the Fido family’s mansion was filled with big signs celebrating our wedding. Above the river, a huge drone show lit up the sky. The drones created an image of our wedding photo. All the major news channels in the city were talking about our wedding.I was wearing the wedding dress Jaxon designed himself. He had just given me a sweet candy, and the taste made me feel warm and happy.In my past life, Callum had stabbed me on our wedding day. Even though I almost died, I still chose to marry him and ended up dead and heartbroken.In this life, I just wanted a peaceful wedding with Jaxon.Right before the car entered the Fido family’s mansion, it suddenly stopped. The driver shouted, “It’s Mr. Callum! He’s here to stop the wedding!”Callum smashed the car window.“Moon, come with me! Today should’ve been our wedding!” He looked at me with hopeful eyes. He was even wearing the same suit he wore in
Just like what the maid said, Callum showed up at the front door with bodyguards and piles of gifts.How did he even manage to slip away from the doctor?Before I could say a word, Ruby ran straight to him and threw her arms around him. “Callum, are you here to propose to me?“We can finally be together! I’m so happy!”But Callum shoved her away without hesitation. She was not expecting it and stumbled back.He did not even glance at her. He walked straight over to me, looked at me lovingly, and said, “Moon, I’m here to ask you to marry me. Please, will you be my wife?”He dropped to one knee and held out a ring.All I felt was disgust. When he did not have me, he begged. When he did, he hurt me. There was no way I would fall for that again.I looked at him coldly and said, “Callum, aren’t you confused? Wasn’t it Ruby the one you loved and wanted to marry?”Callum quickly shook his head. “No, Moon. Please, let me explain. You’re the only one I’ve ever truly loved. No one else e
I looked at him in surprise. “Why would you think I wouldn’t want to marry you?”He sighed and explained, “Back at the press conference, when Callum was taken away, your eyes were teary. Some rumors aren’t just rumors.“Moon, whatever choice you make, I’ll respect it. I don’t want you to feel pressured, and I don’t want you to be unhappy.”His words hit me harder than I expected. I thought no one had noticed my tears that day, but Jaxon had seen them.For him to say he only wanted me to be happy showed just how deeply he must love me.I took a deep breath, then reached for his hand. “You misunderstood. I wasn’t crying because of Callum. I was crying because of you.”“Because of me?” Jaxon was surprised.I nodded. “Yes.”“Why?” he asked, still confused.“Because I had this long dream. In the dream, I married Callum, but I ended up unhappy and dying. After I died, I realized that the one who truly loved me was you.“Jaxon, I want to marry you. Not just because of the dream, but
Callum did not have his usual arrogant attitude. Instead, his voice was full of desperation. “Dad, please take back the engagement. Uncle Jaxon can’t marry Moon.”Seeing Callum cause a scene and embarrass the Fido family in front of the reporters, Louie quickly stepped in. “Callum’s not well. He’s not thinking clearly. Get him to a doctor.”But Callum would not leave. “Dad, Moon and I have been in love for years! Everyone in Central City knows that. You can’t let Uncle Jaxon marry her!”Louie’s brow furrowed. He had heard the rumors, and he had noticed how I had acted in the past.He turned to me. “Moon, what do you have to say about this?”I stood up and spoke clearly in front of the whole Fido family and the media. “Callum and I grew up together. I’ve always seen him as a brother. Maybe some gossip made people misunderstand, but the truth is, I’ve always liked Jaxon. He’s the one I want to marry.“And the person Callum has been dating for years is my sister, Ruby, not me.”As s
Even from the garden outside, I could feel how quiet and tense it suddenly got. Everyone was shocked.They stood there with their mouths half open. They looked at each other and wondered if they had misheard it.How could I have ended up with Jaxon?When Callum heard that I was going to engage with Jaxon, he was shocked. He said, “Dad, did you say the wrong name?”“Huh?” Louie stayed calm and replied, “Do I sound confused to you? I know exactly what I said.”Then he looked at me, and his expression softened. “Moon, did I get anything wrong?”Before I could speak, Callum rushed up. He did not care how bad it made the Fido family look and asked, “You’re kidding, right? Dad, this is some kind of show, right?”He turned to me, grabbed my shoulders, and stared at me. “Moon, you’re doing this to mess with me, right? You’re not really with Uncle Jaxon. You love me! There’s no way you’d choose him over me.”I knew he did not care about me. He did care about the position of the Fido fami
I looked at Callum in shock. I already knew how heartless he could be, but hearing him say this still shocked me.When I did not respond, Callum thought I was too in love with him to fight back. He smiled smugly. “If you agree, I might do you a small favor. I’ll wear our wedding ring.”He was acting all smug. He thought I would be so grateful for his offer that I would agree without hesitation.The whispers of the crowd faded as everyone waited for me to speak.I slowly stood up in front of everyone.A deep voice called from across the garden, “What’s going on here?”Everyone turned to look, and walking toward us was Louie and Callum’s uncle, Jaxon Fido.When Jaxon saw me looking a mess, he quickly came over and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”I nodded to signal I was fine.Louie gave Callum a quick glance and frowned. It was clear he was not happy.Everyone fell silent and waited for Louie to speak.With both Louie and Jaxon present, it seemed like they were about to ann
