Orphaned on My Wedding Day for Her Love
Orphaned on My Wedding Day for Her Love
Author: Vincent Gale

Chapter 1

Author: Vincent Gale
After taking care of my parents' funeral arrangements, I finally gave up on Imogen Steele.

I'd loved her for seven years, but she had never once told me, "I love you".

I knew that, to her, I could never compare to her first love, Callum Grant.

All it took was one phone call from him, and no matter how far away she was, she'd drop everything and rush to his side.

In the past, I'd humiliated myself countless times, even getting down on my knees and begging her to come home. But she never budged.

This time, I simply couldn't love her anymore.

…

When I returned home, I found that Imogen had already come back. She was sitting on the couch, her brow tightly furrowed as she stared at me in silence.

I didn't even spare her a glance and simply continued packing my things. I didn't touch a single one of her belongings or leave a single thing of mine behind. If I'd decided to leave, then I was going to do it cleanly.

The moment Imogen saw my luggage, her expression darkened.

"What now?" she asked, her voice stern. "Are you trying to run away from home again?"

"This isn't my home anyway," I replied, a wry smile tugging at my lips. "It's yours, Ms. Steele."

"Jonas, what exactly are you trying to do? In the past five years, all you do is get jealous of Callum. That's the only thing you're good at."

The way Imogen said it made me sound like I was the one who'd cheated on her, but I didn't have the energy to argue with her anymore. I picked up my luggage and headed for the door.

Her face flushed with anger, her chest heaving as she stepped in front of me and pulled out her phone to send a message to the hospital director, Otis Langdon.

"Dr. Langdon, arrange for Jonas' mother to be moved into a VIP room," she ordered. "I'll cover everything. Use the best medication available."

Then she turned to me. "Is this enough now, Jonas?"

She clearly thought she'd done more than enough for me.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside. "Immy, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but I missed you."

The door opened, and Callum sauntered in with a bag in his hand. When he saw me, he put on an exaggerated look of surprise.

"Long time no see, Jonas. Were you and Immy fighting?"

As he spoke, he shoved the bag into Imogen's arms and casually slipped an arm around her waist.

"Immy, you really need to be more careful next time," he chided. "You actually forgot to bring your underwear when you left, so I washed it for you and brought it back.

"Oh, and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks for staying with me at the hospital on your wedding day. The doctor said I just ate something bad. It's nothing serious."

"Next time, just wash it at home," I replied evenly. "That'll save you the trouble of making the trip back and forth."

Callum shot me a taunting look, then immediately put on an innocent expression. "Immy, looks like Jonas got the wrong idea."

"Jonas, Callum and I are just like siblings," Imogen snapped. "How many times do I have to tell you?"

So this was why she missed our wedding. Apparently, the dignity of our entire family meant less to her than Callum's upset stomach.

"Imogen, let's break up."

I stopped loving Imogen after my parents were driven to their deaths by the humiliation and heartbreak they suffered because of her.

Yet, the ridiculous part was that she still thought I was just being jealous and throwing a tantrum.

"Jonas, I'm exhausted. Can you stop this already?"

  • Orphaned on My Wedding Day for Her Love   Chapter 10

    Imogen's eyes suddenly widened. She looked down at her chest, only to realize she'd been stabbed. Blood gushed from her mouth as confusion filled her eyes. She had never imagined, not even in her worst nightmare, that the person she loved most would be the one to drive a knife into her heart. But how did things come to this?She would never have the chance to find out. The bodyguards and the rest of us had rushed forward and easily subdued Callum. He couldn't see through the pepper spray, and he was swinging the knife blindly. One of those wild strikes had happened to hit Imogen directly in the heart. Was it simply terrible luck, or was it fate? Perhaps after my parents died, this was always how things were meant to end for her. I'd forgotten what expression I wore that day. All I remembered was the confusing mixture of emotions that tore through me. First came an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, and the resentment I'd carried since my parents' passing seemed to disap

    While I motioned for Randall to call the police, I kept my voice steady as I spoke to Callum. "Just tell me whatever you want. Put the knife down first. You don't want to go to prison, do you?"Callum hesitated. I saw the uncertainty in his eyes and realized I was getting somewhere. For all his bravado, he was still afraid of the law. "Callum, tell me what you want," I continued. "I'll do everything I can to give to you.""You?" He shot me a glare, his voice laced with contempt. "What could a nobody like you possibly give me? Since you asked, I'll tell you. Get me a billion dollars and a plane ticket out of the country. Otherwise, I'll kill Imogen."I froze. So that was his plan. A billion dollars? He sure was a greedy bastard.I gave him a dismissive smile. But the moment I looked at Imogen, it all made sense. My mind started working, and I motioned for her two bodyguards to come over. The moment Callum saw them move, he tensed. He pressed the knife more firmly against I

    "Imogen, we all know what you're like," Matthew said. "How could you do something like this and still live with yourself? If you have even a shred of decency left, take Callum and get out of here.""I don't even feel like wasting my breath on them anymore. But anyone who messes with Jonas is going to regret it."Callum shrank back and hid behind Imogen. He looked like he wanted to say something, but wisely kept his mouth shut. A sigh escaped Imogen. She could tell there was clearly no point trying to reason with us. She turned toward my parents' graves and lowered her head respectfully. But just as she was preparing to leave with Callum, he had to cause another scene. He actually spat on my parents' graves. All of us stared at him in disbelief."Callum, what the hell do you think you're doing?" I roared, the veins on my forehead throbbing. Then I turned to Imogen. "Is this what you call coming here to pay your respects?"You'd better leave while I'm still holding myself bac

  • Orphaned on My Wedding Day for Her Love   Chapter 7

    Now that my parents were gone, my friends insisted on paying their respects. I gladly agreed. Later, I returned to my parents' house and began sorting through their belongings. That was when I found a vintage bracelet. It had been passed down through our family for generations, and Mom had planned to put it on Imogen's wrist herself after the wedding. But life had other plans. None of us could have imagined so much could change in such a short time. One by one, I packed away my parents' belongings. With every item I put away, tears welled up in my eyes. It was only then that it truly sank in—everything I'd lost was gone forever. Regret was the only thing I could feel. Once I'd finished sorting through their things, I spotted a small note Mom had written to me when I was little. "My dear Jonas, always take good care of yourself. I want you to live a long, happy life."I finally broke down. I sobbed uncontrollably, unable to hold it in any longer. The dead were gone, and

  • Orphaned on My Wedding Day for Her Love   Chapter 6

    I was already in a terrible mood, so I gave Callum one last slap. That was finally enough to knock him out. I glanced at Imogen, who was still sitting on the floor crying, and picked up my luggage. I walked out without looking back. As I passed the two bodyguards, I knew they had only been following orders. Still, after giving each of them 500 dollars, I slapped them both across the face. …Once I left Imogen's house and started walking down the street, the weight of everything finally sank in. My parents were gone, and my relationship was over. I had no one left. Just then, my phone rang. "Jonas, it's been ages! Come out and grab a drink with us."Warmth spread through my chest. "That's right," I thought. "I still have my buddies."The one calling me was Matthew Turner, one of the four of us who had been inseparable in university. Thinking about those carefree days brought a smile to my face. "Sure, Matt," I replied. "Let's meet today. By the way, are the other guys

  • Orphaned on My Wedding Day for Her Love   Chapter 5

    "That can't be true!" Imogen cried. She didn't even bother holding her phone. She rushed toward me and somehow found the strength to shove the two bodyguards aside. "Immy, what are you doing?" Callum asked, visibly annoyed."Shut up!"She turned and slapped him across the face so hard that he stood there, stunned. It was the second slap he'd taken that day, and this one had come from Imogen herself. "Jonas, are you okay? I'm sorry. I really didn't know," she sobbed, tears filling her eyes and streaming down her cheeks. "I never thought anything like this would happen to Mr. and Mrs. Beckett. I swear I didn't mean for this to happen.""My parents are already dead." I stared at her coldly. "Can your apology bring them back? Don't you think it's a little too late now? Move. I need to get out."I pushed Imogen aside and walked toward the door. Completely ignoring her presence, I walked straight up to Callum and grabbed him by the hair. "Weren't you so tough just now?
