My Bride's Heart Belongs to Her First Love

Since I was about to say my wedding vows earlier, I still had the microphone raised to my lips. Hence, everyone could hear my voice clearly.Jessica's furious expression froze on her face, but she soon snapped out of her trance. She merely gazed at me in disdain."Don't tell me you're jealous, Oliver! Benedict and I made a promise to reunite with each other in our next lifetime, not this one! "Anyway, you don't have to worry about a single thing! Now that I've already registered my marriage with you, you're the only husband I need."If you apologize to Benedict and me, I'll let bygones be bygones. We'll resume the wedding after that."I responded by tossing my suit jacket to the floor."I'm serious. Coincidentally, Benedict is wearing a white suit today. I'll pass the position of the groom to him so that I can fulfill your vow. I'll let you be with each other for eternity. Isn't that a good thing?"Benedict was Jessica's first love. However, he didn't hesitate to dump her and l

Although I decided not to love Jessica anymore, the sight of the photos still left my heart throbbing in pain. The amazing memories we had woven together in the past did exist, but the fact that she preferred Benedict's company over mine still stood. It was said that human brains were capable of saving good memories and deleting the painful ones. Jessica had completely forgotten about the pain Benedict had caused her five years ago. Who was to say that I didn't go through the same process? Ever since Benedict got back to the country three months ago, all that was left between me and Jessica were deceit and fights. But for so long, I relied on the amazing memories we had crafted over the past five years in order to numb my heart to the heartbreaking pain.Only now did I finally realize the truth. I stared at the photos on the wall. Among them were Jessica's bright smile and the hug we had shared beneath the fireworks. There were so many more photos depicting our happiness on

I placed the divorce agreement that I had printed out a long time ago before the Fletchers."Sorry, but I've already thought things through. I still want a divorce from Jessica, so I will never trade my shares for her forgiveness. After all, I don't care about her anymore," I said slowly as I gazed at the Fletchers' crumbling expressions.Mr. Fletcher's expression was frighteningly stormy."You'd better rethink your decision, Oliver. Are you really going to give up on your five-year relationship with Jessica?"I shook my head."I wasn't the one who gave up on this relationship, Mr. Fletcher. Jessica was the one who let go of this relationship first."Mrs. Fletcher, on the other hand, refused to give up."Whatever relationship Jessica and Benedict had is all in the past, Oliver. They are like siblings without any blood ties. You, on the other hand, are Jessica's legal husband."Just listen to that woman. She claimed that Jessica and Benedict were like siblings without any blood

I mailed another copy of the divorce agreement to Jessica's house, ensuring that she'd receive it personally. That way, I could get her to sign it as soon as possible.Ever since I became the chairman of the company, I had a huge pile of tasks to deal with. As such, my life was thrown into a busy frenzy. So, I had to hire an assistant.When my new assistant reported to work on her first day, I had a feeling that she looked a little familiar for some reason. So, I shot her a few more glances than usual.Unexpectedly, the assistant burst into a fit of giggles."Wow. You don't recognize me anymore after a few years of separation, huh?"Upon hearing her voice, I quickly recalled a certain someone. This made me widen my eyes in shock."Wait, you're Yvette Miller?"Yvette nodded in response. She smiled as she passed her work badge to me."That's right. It seems that you haven't forgotten me after all."I still found it hard to believe that Yvette was my assistant. I stared at her na

After that, I began prioritizing my divorce procedures. However, Jessica refused to sign the divorce agreement no matter what.Left without a choice, I could only file for a court divorce. At the same time, I used 2% of my shares to bribe Jessica's parents into taking my side. As long as they could convince Jessica to sign the divorce agreement, I'd give them the 2% of the shares I promised them.All the Fletchers cared about was money. They never really gave Jessica the attention she needed her whole life, anyway.It was difficult on their finances nowadays, seeing as the money they received from their shares was barely enough to sustain their lifestyle. The 2% I promised them was like a lifeline being offered during their time of need.In the end, I had no idea how, but the Fletchers managed to get Jessica to sign the divorce agreement before the court hearing. One month later, they even took her to the courthouse so that she could receive the divorce certificate. When I laid m
