Chapter 1

Author: Sweet Beet
I stood up and headed back to the fitting room to change back into my clothes, ready to leave.

Sasha Green suddenly leaned on Gary Dome's chest, saying aggrievedly, "What should I do? Anthea must be mad at me."

Gary grabbed me by the arm and reprimanded, "Are you a mute or something? Can't you see how guilty Sasha feels because of your stupid wedding dress? Can't you say something?"

My arm hurt from his tug. I frowned at him and said, "Firstly, this isn't some stupid dress. My father had this custom-made for me abroad half a year ago. It's worth over four million. Besides, she didn't apologize for cutting up my dress. What do you want me to say? That all is fine, and it had nothing to do with her?"

Gary was speechless by my retort.

Sasha instantly said with a catch in her throat, "It's all my fault. Don't blame Gary. I'll mend your dress for you."

Then, she picked up a needle, about to start sewing. Before she barely started, she pricked her finger. A bright red bead of blood welled up instantly.

Gary immediately shoved me aside.

My waist slammed into the edge of a table, and I fell heavily onto the floor, the pain so intense I couldn't even stand.

Meanwhile, Gary carefully held Sasha's finger and brought it to his lips, gently sucking away the blood.

Sasha looked at him with tears in her eyes, saying, "Gary, I'm so useless. I can't even do something so simple."

Gary replied with tenderness in his voice, "Sasha, don't say that. You're not a professional tailor. It's only normal that you don't know how to sew."

Then, he looked at me on the floor and said icily, "If anything, it's all your fault. Why did you insist on trying on the wedding gown? If it weren't for you, Sasha wouldn't have gotten hurt! I order you to apologize to her at once!"

Our wedding was happening soon. As the bride, was it wrong for me to try on my wedding dress?

Besides, I only asked Gary to accompany me. Sasha insisted that she tag along. She was the one who insisted that there was a loose thread on my wedding dress and wanted to cut it. She was the one who also said she was going to mend the dress.

Did I say anything throughout this entire incident?

Gary clearly had his priorities differently.

At that point, I no longer wanted to get into some pointless fight with him.

I got up slowly, looked at Sasha, and said, "I'm sorry. It has always been my fault. I shouldn't have clung to him. I shouldn't have been so delusional as to want to marry him. I'll give Gary back to you. How's that?"

Gary furrowed his brows, his expression completely darkened. He said, "Anthea, what nonsense are you on about? You are my fian—"

Sasha screamed suddenly, cutting him off.

"Gary, my finger hurts a lot! Could it have been infected? Am I going to die?"

Gary looked at her with worry. "Sasha, don't worry. You'll be alright, I promise. I'll take you to the hospital at once."

They left quickly without me. I chuckled self-deprecatingly at myself before calling my father.

"Dad, I no longer want to marry Gary. I have decided I'll go to New Siland to live with you and Mom."

  • No Wedding No Mercy   Chapter 8

    Gary's parents watched me grow up since I was little. They were always pleased that I was going to be their future daughter-in-law.After I ran away from the wedding, once they found out that it was because of Sasha, they harshly reprimanded Gary.They also supported Gary's decision to come to New Siland to get me back.But they never expected that Sasha would end up pregnant with Gary's child. This was something they didn't know how to handle, so they sent Sasha to New Siland as well.This was Gary's problem. He should deal with it himself.Looking at Sasha's gaunt face in front of me, her smugness and arrogance were long gone."You're talking to the wrong person. Whether Gary returns or not has nothing to do with me.""But he stayed because of you. If you make him go back, he will surely listen to you. Please help me."I smirked. "Sasha, do you take me for a saint? Have you forgotten what you did to me? The fact that I did not seek revenge is the maximum kindness that I can s

    Gary continued, "I promise you I will no longer contact her from now on.""Unwilling to let go of the past?" A mocking smile curled at my lips. "Do you know, because of that, how much suffering it caused me? All those times waiting for you alone at home? I tortured myself over and over, scrolling through her posts, watching every trace of your so-called happiness. "I was your fiancée, yet you would be at her every beck and call. With your indulgence, she smashed the crystal cup we made together. She cut apart the wedding dress my father had custom-made for me."And now, you're just telling me that your indulgence toward her was just because you're unwilling to let go of the past, but the person that you love is still me? Gary, do you hear how ridiculous that sounds?"Gary slowly lowered his head at my accusations. "Anthea, I'm sorry. You have been by my side since we were little. Any time I turned my head around, there you were, like you would never leave me, so I thought that thi

    Was it because my existence was never expected, that I was never chosen, that was why no one loved me?Mom was like that, so was Gary.Mom hugged me in her arms, gently patting my back. She said with a catch in her throat, "Anthea, I was wrong in the past. I was so obsessed with the past, and you have suffered for it. I could hate anyone, but I should never have hated you. You have always been the most innocent one."All these years, she slowly let go of the past. She also wanted to repair her relationship with me, but she didn't know where to start.There was an invisible wall between them that she couldn't approach me."Anthea, will you forgive me? I'll make it up to you."I didn't answer. I merely hugged her and cried for a long time. I guess she already knew my answer.That night, we opened our hearts and talked to each other. The invisible wall between us slowly started to crumble.The familial love that was missing for 25 years was rebuilt, little by little.One day, the

    "Dad, I missed you."Dad patted me on the back, saying in relief, "I'm happy to have you here. Our family is finally reunited."I got into his car and followed him home.Upon reaching the door, I suddenly had a fear of entering. I looked at Dad and asked him quietly, "Is Mom doing alright?"Mom had a serious case of depression. Especially when she saw me, she would sometimes lose control and do things that hurt me.When I was little, I was locked up in a closet and thrown into the river. The worst case was when she brought me to the rooftop and tried to throw me off.I survived every time, but I also started fearing my mother. Every time I see her, I subconsciously tremble.Later, Dad took Mom all over the world to treat her. They finally settled down in New Siland. That was when Mom's condition got better.Dad smiled at me benevolently. "Your mother was thrilled to hear that you were coming. She even made your favorite dish!"I was suspicious of what Dad said, but I was indee

    The recording played over and over a few times before Gary finally snapped out of his shock.He threw the recording pen on the floor and bellowed, "Impossible! You're lying to me! Anthea wanted to marry me! How could she have left!"After yelling, he immediately took his phone to call me. A cold, mechanical female voice answered him instead, telling him that he was blocked.He angrily shoved the mannequin on the floor and ran out, bumping into Sasha in a flowing white gown.Sasha anxiously grabbed him by the arm. "Gary, where are you going?"Gary frantically shrugged her off, saying, "Anthea's gone. I'm going to get her back."Sasha was not going to let him leave. She planned this for so long. She even came up with that wedding dress prank to drive Anthea away, all so she could get Gary back.Sasha initially thought that Anthea loved Gary to the point of giving up her dignity, that she would endure through any humiliation. Sasha was prepared to openly snatch Gary at their wedd

    Gary instantly grew anxious.He turned to me and said, "Sasha has night blindness. A power outage is too dangerous for her. I must go."Things like these happened countless times before. In the past, no matter how hard I tried to stop him, it was in vain.This time, I wouldn't get worked up over this anymore.I replied to him calmly, "Just drop me off at the next intersection."Gary slammed on the brakes. I went behind to take my luggage out of his trunk. He looked at me guiltily and said, "Anthea, it's hard to get a taxi here. Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."Wait for him?Have I not learned the lessons from before?I smiled at him and nodded. Once I saw his car vanish into the traffic, I clicked onto an app and called a taxi.That night, Sasha posted a photo on her social media.[No matter what happens, I feel safe as long as you're around.]Under the faint candlelight, two figures leaned in close together.I knew that Sasha deliberately posted the photo for me to se
