Chapter 8

Author: Perfect Timing
The moment I heard that voice, my eyes burned red.

All the grievances I had swallowed came rushing up at once. I wanted nothing more than to run straight into Nelson's arms.

But Wayne tightened his grip on my hand. "Ungrateful little thing. I'm the one who saved you."

By the time I finally shook free of Wayne, I couldn't even get close to Nelson anymore.

Hannah's clueless followers had already crowded around him.

"Mr. Castillo, you're finally back! Your maid's daughter is picking on your sister!"

"Yeah, Daphne's got some nerve! She even dared to pretend she was Hannah."

Nelson's bodyguard slapped the one who spoke across the face.

Nelson looked at him coldly. "How dare you insult my sister!"

The air froze instantly.

Everyone watched as Nelson walked straight toward me and gently rubbed my back. "Who did this to you?"

I still couldn't hold it together. I broke down crying before he could even wipe my tears away.

I shoved Wayne's arm aside and wrapped myself tightly around Ne

  • Married in My Name   Chapter 9

    A week after Hannah was beaten into the hospital, she and Jenny were thrown out when they couldn't pay the medical bills.The two had barely made it out the door when several burly men blocked their way.They didn't bother with explanations and demanded repayment on the spot.Hannah gave up completely. "I don't have any money. Go ahead and kill me if you want.""Death would be too easy on you," one of them sneered.The debt collectors dragged Hannah and Jenny away and sold them into forced labor. From then on, the two of them were made to earn money every single day.Not long after, Jenny couldn't take the abuse anymore. She didn't make it.When I heard the news, Nelson had just come to talk to me about my marriage.Although the household staff had all been replaced, the broken engagement with Mason Group was still unresolved."Daphne," Nelson said gently, "I won't pressure you. This is your choice."I asked him, "Did you return the money to the Masons?"Nelson nodded, then

    I thought Hannah was just being smug and clever. I never expected Wayne to smile and accept it."Fine," he said lightly. "I'll take her."I blurted out immediately, "I'm a person. You can't do this. It's illegal!"Wayne didn't bother listening. After pulling me aside, he handed me a wet wipe, clicked his tongue in faint disgust, and said, "I really thought you were smarter than this."Hannah heard him, too. She lifted her chin proudly. "Exactly! This idiot actually thought she could ruin the alliance between our families. Now that everything's cleared up, Mr. Mason, we can proceed with the wedding, right?"Wayne looked genuinely surprised. "What wedding? Who said I'm marrying you?"Hannah froze. "Didn't you say once this was handled…""I said once this was handled, you wouldn't go to jail," Wayne replied coldly. "I never said I'd marry you.""Hannah, what's going on? You have to marry into the Masons!" a servant said anxiously from the side.Hannah panicked and pointed at Wa

    "No! This is a marriage alliance between our families. You can't just back out!"Hannah was panicking now. If she couldn't marry into the Masons, then once Nelson came back, she would be finished.After hesitating for a long moment, she clenched her teeth. "I'll pay you back!"Wayne smiled faintly and turned to the police with perfect courtesy. "We'll handle this privately. Thank you for your time."Once the officers left, Hannah finally let out a breath of relief.I, on the other hand, grew even more tense. Dealing privately with someone like Wayne was far more frightening.Fifteen million dollars meant nothing to either the Castillos or the Masons. So why was he forcing Hannah to come up with it immediately?Was he suspicious of something? Or was this simply revenge?The next moment, my thoughts stalled. I had been watching him too closely, and our eyes met.My whole body jolted.I remembered him asking me yesterday if I was sure about canceling the engagement, and guilt cr

    That was when everyone noticed the police officers standing behind Wayne.One of them spoke up. "Which Ms. Castillo is getting married today?"Before Hannah could answer, the people around her had already pushed her forward. She was still wearing her wedding gown.Hannah forced a small nod. "I am."The next second, the officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs."You're suspected of marriage fraud involving a 15-million-dollar wedding gift. You failed to return the funds on time. You'll need to come with us."Hannah froze. "Marriage fraud? Officer, I'm already here at the ceremony!"The officer frowned slightly. "Yesterday, you came to the station and turned yourself in. You said you didn't want to marry Mr. Mason anymore, and the Masons already agreed to call it off."Hannah stared at him in shock, then rushed to deny it. "No, I never went to the police. I never confessed to anything! Someone's trying to sabotage the marriage between Castillo Enterprises and Mason Group. Officer

    One of Hannah's followers handed her a small kitchen knife.Hannah tapped the flat of the blade against my cheek, smiling coldly. "We grew up together. I was going to let you go, but you just had to make trouble on my wedding day. Wayne is marrying me, not some useless nobody like you."Her lackey kicked hard at the back of my knee.My legs gave out, and I dropped to my knees.Hannah planted her heel on my face. "You're nothing but my pet now. Grovel and apologize. Say you're sorry a hundred times. Maybe I'll be generous enough to forgive you."Blood ran from the corner of my mouth. I laughed softly and looked up at her. "Keep dreaming. As long as I don't agree, the Masons' wedding convoy won't show up today.""Still talking big?" someone sneered. "When their cars arrive, I'll tear that mouth of yours apart. You really haven't woken up, have you? You actually think you can control the Masons?"They didn't believe a word I said. Kicks and blows rained down on me.I curled up
