Chapter 7

Penulis: River Snapshot
After the wedding, Rosie took me back to our new home. To play along with my act, she had spent a fortune buying a villa to serve as our "newlywed home".

The interior was exquisitely decorated in exactly the style I liked.

A bouquet of red roses sat in the living room, with a card attached to it.

I opened the card. The handwriting was familiar.

"I'm sorry I came too late—Rosie."

She was apologizing on behalf of the 19-year-old Rosie.

I could no longer hold back my tears, and they streamed

  • My Best Man Stole My Bride on Stage   Chapter 9

    Rosie was waiting for me outside the hospital.Despite having a million things to take care of, she still cleared half a day out of her schedule to drop me off at the hospital.She took my hand as naturally as if it were the most familiar thing in the world."Don't see Anna or Billy anymore. I can't stand seeing you so sad."I pointed at myself and laughed. "Do I look sad to you?"She studied my face for a long moment before smiling and shaking her head.I gently patted her hand. "I appreciate your concern, but they stopped having any influence over me a long time ago."Rosie turned her hand over and laced her fingers through mine. "Craig, I don't want this to be an act anymore. Could we not get divorced?"Our original plan had been to get divorced first while continuing to pretend to be a married couple in public, and only tell my parents about the divorce a few years later.It wasn't that I hadn't considered the possibility of getting back together with Rosie. But after ever

    I was pulled out of my memories when Rosie wrapped her arms around me from behind, just as I was about to wipe away my tears."Why are you crying?" she asked."I'm not." I immediately protested.That evening, I emailed my resignation letter to Anna's assistant, Tonya Mullen, to formally resign from my position.It took Anna less than a few minutes to call me after I sent the email.I declined the call, but she called again. I hung up once more, but she kept calling. In the end, I simply blocked her number.She started texting me. "Craig, please don't resign. I know I messed up, but I'm begging you to give me another chance. I've thought it through."I don't care if you marry someone else or what other people say about you. I just want you. Divorce Rosie, and we'll be even. Let's start over, okay?"Instead of replying, I blocked her on WhatsApp as well.Anna claimed she didn't mind me marrying someone else, yet she had used my painful past to hurt me. She'd even called me filth

The handwriting was familiar."I'm sorry I came too late—Rosie."She was apologizing on behalf of the 19-year-old Rosie.I could no longer hold back my tears, and they streamed down my face. I wasn't crying out of heartbreak or hurt. Rather, it was a bitter ache I couldn't quite put into words.My ex-girlfriend wasn't just anyone—she was none other than Rosie.When we were 19 years old, we loved each other passionately. She was a young heiress born with a silver spoon in her mouth, while I was just a boy from an ordinary working-class family.We were each other's first love, and those days with her were the happiest days of my life.Every day, Rosie would wait at t

    When Rosie kissed me, I didn't push her away.After the kiss ended, I turned to look toward the audience.Even with countless people between us, I could still see Anna standing at the entrance of the ballroom. The wedding march continued to play on repeat as we stared at each other with reddened eyes.I didn't know how much time had passed before Anna finally took a step forward. She pushed through the crowd and walked up to the stage.Staring at me in disbelief, she asked, "Craig, have you lost your mind? I'm your wife—how can you marry someone else?"Rosie stepped in front of me protectively, her gaze full of disdain. "You're Craig's wife? You've already registered your marriage with another man, so what gives you the right to call yourself his wife?"Anna rushed forward and grabbed my wrist. "Craig, please wait for me a little longer. Once the baby is born, I'll divorce Billy," she begged hoarsely.Rosie immediately seized her wrist, making Anna wince in pain until her face t

    Dozens of Maybachs pulled up along the roadside in perfect unison.Their doors swung open, and a graceful figure rushed toward me. She helped me up, then pulled me tightly into her arms."Craig, I'm sorry for being late."…More than ten minutes later, Anna arrived at the hospital.She rushed into the emergency department in a panic, only to find Billy sitting completely unharmed on a chair in the corridor.Anna let out a sigh of relief before asking him, "Didn't you say you'd been in a car accident?"Billy reached out and pulled her into his arms, his eyes darting nervously. "I'm fine. My car was just scraped a little. It's nothing serious."Anna was struck dumb. Suddenly, she recalled the blood on my face and the resolute look in my eyes as I jumped out of the moving car. She was convinced it must have hurt so much when I jumped.A chill shot through from the soles of her feet, and she felt as though she had been plunged into an icy abyss.Noticing that something was wrong,

  • My Best Man Stole My Bride on Stage   Chapter 4

    That very night, I flew back to the country.The moment I landed, I sent a message to someone."I'm back. Let's register our marriage tomorrow."The reply came almost instantly. "Okay."Back when Anna and I were planning the wedding, she had dumped every single arrangement on me. She claimed she was too busy with work and told me to make all the decisions myself.Thus, I took it upon myself to change the bride.On the day of the wedding, I came downstairs in a black suit, ready to leave for the ceremony. A black wedding car was waiting outside the apartment.Anna had somehow returned without my knowing. She was holding a bouquet of red roses, and her expression was softer than it had been that day. In fact, she even seemed a little nervous."Craig, I was wrong about what happened before. I'll do whatever you say today. I'll go along with the wedding and see it through, okay?"Before I could answer, she continued to lay down her conditions. "But you have to promise me that you
