Chapter 8 He's Not Coming Back

مؤلف: Citrus Vale
After the wedding, Avery never saw Evan again.

It was as if he had disappeared completely. His phone number had been disconnected, his messaging accounts were gone, and he never returned to the house he had bought. Even his old workplace was no longer an option, thanks to the resignation his mother had submitted on his behalf.

Avery reached out to their old high school classmates, hoping someone might know how to contact Liliana. But no one knew where she lived or worked.

  • I Was Never the Groom   Chapter 9 I Stopped Waiting to Be Chosen

    Despite Avery's objections, Davian showed up the very next day with a suitcase and moved in. She told him he could stay in the guest room, but it was not long before he started knocking on her bedroom door in the middle of the night. Living under the same roof quickly became uncomfortable for both of them. Things at Avery's company were not any better. Over the past few years, she had spent so much time dealing with Davian's problems and getting caught up in the Baird family's affairs that one project after another had slipped away. Now, the company barely had enough cash to survive another month, while vendors called almost every day demanding payment. Desperate to keep the business afloat, Avery went through every contact she had until she finally set her sights on Horizon Group, one of the biggest names in the industry. If she could secure even one major project with them, her company might still have a chance. So Avery brought Davian with her to Horizon Group's region

  • I Was Never the Groom   Chapter 8 He's Not Coming Back

    After the wedding, Avery never saw Evan again. It was as if he had disappeared completely. His phone number had been disconnected, his messaging accounts were gone, and he never returned to the house he had bought. Even his old workplace was no longer an option, thanks to the resignation his mother had submitted on his behalf. Avery reached out to their old high school classmates, hoping someone might know how to contact Liliana. But no one knew where she lived or worked. She called in favors, asked friends for help, and searched every place she could think of, yet every lead came to nothing. No matter where she looked, there was no trace of Evan. He was simply gone. Christine, however, did not seem concerned in the slightest. She sat comfortably on the couch, snacking from a bowl of chips as though nothing had happened. "So, he left. What's the big deal? He was never easy to get along with anyway. Honestly, the house is more peaceful without him. Davian is much more sensib

  • I Was Never the Groom   Chapter 7 Are You Satisfied Now?

    Liliana stepped forward until she was standing shoulder to shoulder with me. "Mrs. Baird, that's an interesting question." Her voice was calm, but every word landed sharply. "You were the one who told Evan to wear a groomsman suit, the same person who quit his job to stay home and help your younger son prepare for the civil service exam. Plus, you took his wedding and entrusted it to someone else to fulfill a dying wish. "You arranged all of this from beginning to end. Now that everyone can see what you've done, why are you asking Evan whether he's satisfied?" After a brief pause, she added, "If I were you, I'd be asking myself that question. Are you satisfied now?" My mom's face turned an even deeper shade of red. Her lips trembled, but for once, she had nothing to say. Liliana did not give her time to recover. She slipped her arm through mine and said, "Come on. Everyone's waiting for us next door." I nodded and took her hand. Just as we turned to leave, Avery's hoars

  • I Was Never the Groom   Chapter 6 If You Won't Cherish Him, I Will

    Before my mom's hand could touch me, someone pushed through the crowd. It was my bride, Liliana Booker. I had no idea when she had arrived, but within seconds, she was standing beside me. She took my hand and stepped directly between my mom and me, blocking her from coming any closer. The moment Avery recognized her, surprise flashed across her face. "Liliana?" For a second, she simply stared. Then, her brows drew together. "I thought the woman in that photo looked familiar. So, it really is you." Liliana glanced back at me and gave me a small, reassuring smile before turning to Avery. "Long time no see, Avery." Avery's gaze shifted between us, and the surprise in her eyes slowly gave way to suspicion. Then, she noticed how Liliana was still holding my hand. How naturally I stood beside her. Her face darkened. "Evan, when did this happen between you two?" she demanded. "You were supposed to marry me. What are you doing with another woman?" Liliana let out a soft laugh

  • I Was Never the Groom   Chapter 5 Who Said I Came to Marry You?

    Just then, I walked through the entrance. I was wearing the same charcoal-gray designer suit as in the photo, tailored to fit me perfectly. My mom was the first to storm over. She jabbed a finger at me and snapped, "Evan, what the hell are you trying to pull? You know you're not the groom today, so what's with that fake wedding photo? And now you show up dressed like this just to make a scene?" Her voice grew louder with every word. "How can you be this selfish? You've competed with Davian over everything since you were kids, and now you're even trying to steal his wedding?" Chad hurried over behind her and glanced at my suit. "Seriously, Evan. Who are you trying to impress dressed like that? Avery isn't marrying you." Davian stood a few steps away, and his eyes quickly reddened. "Evan, if you didn't want to be my groomsman, you could have just told me. I wouldn't have forced you." His voice trembled as he continued, "But my grandma is in the hospital waiting to watch the l

  • I Was Never the Groom   Chapter 4 Even My Career Wasn't Mine

    When I got home, my phone rang. It was my supervisor. "Evan, congratulations on the wedding. I just wish you hadn't resigned so suddenly. You were due for a promotion as soon as you came back from your honeymoon." I froze. "Resigned? I never quit." There was stunned silence on the other end of the line before he finally spoke. "Your mom came in and handled the resignation paperwork for you. I tried to talk her out of it and even wanted to call you to confirm, but she wouldn't let me. She said you were too busy preparing for the wedding to take any calls." My hand tightened around the phone as my heart began to pound. Clinging to the last bit of hope I had left, I asked, "Can it be canceled? I never agreed to resign." My supervisor fell silent for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry, Evan. It's too late. Your mom was very insistent and stayed until the entire process was completed." I could not even remember how the call ended. All I could hear was the rin
