I Vanished Before the Wedding Chapter 12 A Life That Still Belonged to Me
Later, Evan asked if I wanted to know what happened after I left. His eyes were bright with gossip. I laughed and nodded. After so many lies, I did want to know how their story ended. Once the truth about Callum and Mara came out, the Pierce Group's stock took a hit. The shareholders were furious, and it did not take long for them to join forces to remove Callum from his position. His parents were shattered by his actions. They were decent people who could not forgive what he had done. In the end, they gave up on him and decided to have another child. Callum was still married to Mara. Mara barely had time to enjoy her victory before reality caught up with her. Every day, Callum forced her to go to the grave with my name on it and apologize to the fake me. During one of their fights, Callum lost control and shoved her down the hill. She miscarried. Callum was later convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison. Mara survived, but she would never b
I Vanished Before the Wedding Chapter 11 The Red Dress at the Grave
A week later, Callum arrived at the grave of my imposter with a bouquet of roses. Her headstone had already been carved, and beneath her name were the words, 'Beloved Wife of Callum Pierce.'He stood frozen, staring at those words as if they might give him an answer. Suddenly, my words from half a month ago echoed in his mind. 'Goodbye.' Only now did the weight of that farewell settle over his heart. I had offered him one final chance, but he was too blind and wrapped in his own selfishness to see it. Callum buried his face in his hands, desperate for tears that would not come. Moments later, Mara swept into the cemetery in a vivid red dress, gliding toward him as if arriving at a party. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Callum, I've thought it through. I want to marry you. I don't want us to be apart anymore." Then she smiled and added, "It's a good thing Natalie knew when to die. Otherwise, we would've had to go through so much trouble to be to
I Vanished Before the Wedding Chapter 10 The Wedding That Exposed Them
Callum was standing at the altar with Mara when a sudden, stabbing pain tore through his chest, as if someone had just ripped his heart away. His smile vanished. Instinctively, he fumbled for his phone and called his assistant. "Did you pick Natalie up yet?" His assistant answered with a light laugh, "I'm almost there, Mr. Pierce. Don't worry. I'll make sure Mrs. Pierce arrives safely." Before Callum could respond, an ambulance siren cut through from the other end of the line. It was loud, sharp, and urgent. Callum's breath caught in his throat. His assistant's voice turned nervous. "Mr. Pierce, there's an ambulance parked outside your building." Callum's thoughts scattered, leaving only numb silence in his mind. At that exact moment, a soft chime sounded inside the chapel, and the large screen behind the altar suddenly lit up. A second later, Callum and Mara's breathless voices filled the entire room. The guests fell silent. Then Callum heard his own voice coming
I Vanished Before the Wedding Chapter 9 The Flight Out
Callum had moved the wedding date. I sat at the airport with my suitcase beside me, watching his message appear on my phone. 'Nat, I'm on my way to pick you up. I'm finally going to marry you today, and I can't tell you how happy I am.' Tears welled up, blurring the world before I could blink them away. Five years of loving someone did not disappear after a single betrayal. Even after the lies and humiliation, letting go of that chapter still ached deep inside me. A gentle wave of a hand pulled me from my daze. When I looked up, Evan was standing there with a boarding pass in his hand. The destination printed on it was the same as mine. He smiled at me, bright and warm. "Ms. Wren, what a coincidence. It looks like we're headed to the same place." I hurriedly wiped away my tears, embarrassed that he had seen them. "How did you…" Evan ran a hand through his hair, looking a little sheepish. "My company has business there, so they're sending me over for a while." I presse
I Vanished Before the Wedding Chapter 8 The Night Before the Wedding
I pressed play, and muffled voices spilled from my phone, blending with the ghostlike glow of the northern lights on the screen. The camera focused on a tent. Two figures stood close inside, their shadows merging as the fabric shifted in the wind. Mara's voice came through first. "Callum, you're mine." Callum didn't hesitate. "I'm yours. That won't change." Mara laughed softly and asked, "Then what about Natalie?" His reply was low and careless. "She's nothing but a baby machine." I sat there, completely still, watching until the video ended. When the screen went dark, I saved it calmly. Then I transferred another payment to the account from the fake-death company, as if settling a debt I couldn't put into words. Even after the video ended, I found myself staring at the screen. The aurora's surreal colors were frozen in place, impossible to look away from. On the day Callum proposed, he embraced me and vowed, "One day, I'll take you to Veyra Falls to see the northern
I Vanished Before the Wedding Chapter 7 Three Days Before the Wedding
Evan froze. For one gut-wrenching heartbeat, I wished I had kept my mouth shut. I almost laughed it off and pretended I hadn't meant it, but he had already set the takeout container down. He opened his arms and drew me close. I sank into the clean, soapy warmth of him. His embrace was steady and solid. Somehow, that steadiness only made my tears fall harder.Evan sighed softly and patted my shoulder, uncertain but determined to comfort me in the only way he knew. … Three days before the wedding, Callum had his assistant deliver my wedding dress. It was white, covered in glittering stones, beautiful in the extravagant, almost gaudy way only money could buy. His assistant looked at it with open envy. "Mrs. Pierce, Mr. Pierce had this custom-made for you. There isn't another one like it in the world. He really does love you." Then she smiled. "You two are going to be so happy." I smiled back. "Just call me Natalie. We're not married yet." But we never would be. Be
