Chapter 6

مؤلف: Flora Johnson
"If you still need time, I can wait. Maybe this marriage began because you were desperate to get away from someone else, but I hope that, from now on, staying by my side will be something you choose because you truly want to."

I looked at the man standing in front of me, and my thoughts drifted back to City Hall, where he'd told me it wasn't too late to change my mind. Then I remembered what had happened in the church, how he'd stepped forward without hesitation and protected me, even knowing

  • Runaway Groom: I Filed With Someone Else   Chapter 9

    I thought everything between Luca and me was finally over and that we'd never cross paths again. But I was wrong. We ran into each other at a party shortly before he was due to leave. Ciro and I had arrived together, but he was busy networking and couldn't stay by my side, so I picked up a glass of champagne and wandered through the ballroom on my own. I was taking in the room when someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. I turned and found Luca standing behind me. I hadn't even noticed him approaching. He looked even more haggard than he had the last time I'd seen him. "Isola, I'm leaving tomorrow. I never thought I'd run into you here tonight." I looked at him without feeling much of anything anymore. "Okay. I hope everything goes well for you." Luca's eyes were red, and there was still a trace of longing in his gaze. "Isola, I've spent the past few days thinking about everything. All this time, I was the one who was completely in the wrong. I made you suffer so mu

    "Ciro isn't a good man!" Luca shouted. "He plays around with women. There's always been one woman after another around him. Isola, after all these years together, you don't believe that I love you, but you believe him?"I turned and met his eyes, keeping my voice calm and deliberate. "Luca, whether I believe Ciro or not, I will never believe you again."I continued, "Ever since Rosa came into our lives, there hasn't been a single time when you chose me without hesitation. Whenever we both needed you at the same time, I was always the one you left behind. "From the very first gift I gave you to the day we were supposed to get married, I was always the one making concessions. Every single time." I took a slow breath, refusing to let his words shake me. "You left me behind so many times that, eventually, I got used to never being the person someone chose without hesitation. I got used to being the one who was easier to sacrifice. "But Ciro isn't like that. He stands by my side.

    I thought I wouldn't have to see Luca again anytime soon, but I was wrong. After picking up groceries at the supermarket, I came home to find him standing outside my door, waiting. The moment he saw me get out of the car, he hesitated, looking awkward and uncertain, as though he wasn't sure whether he should come any closer."Come inside." His face was flushed, and judging by his look, he was probably running a fever. Yet he'd come all the way here anyway. I let out a quiet sigh, unlocked the door, and stepped aside to let him in. Some things still needed to be said between us, and I figured it was better to settle them once and for all. I motioned for Luca to sit and asked one of the maids to bring him a glass of warm water. Once he had settled into the chair, I looked at him with a tired sigh. "You came all the way here to see me. What did you want to say?" I asked. "I… I just wanted to explain a few things." Luca licked his lips, uncertainty creeping into his voice. I

    "If you still need time, I can wait. Maybe this marriage began because you were desperate to get away from someone else, but I hope that, from now on, staying by my side will be something you choose because you truly want to." I looked at the man standing in front of me, and my thoughts drifted back to City Hall, where he'd told me it wasn't too late to change my mind. Then I remembered what had happened in the church, how he'd stepped forward without hesitation and protected me, even knowing there could be consequences. For ten years, I'd chased after Luca's shadow, swallowing my hurt and convincing myself to wait just a little longer every time he let me down. I'd spent so long trying to prove that I was worth choosing. And now, for the first time, someone had chosen me without hesitation. The realization settled quietly in my heart. I took a slow step toward Ciro and rested my head against his shoulder. …The next morning, I woke up groggily in our new bed. Still half-asl

    Luca stared at Ciro as though he hadn't understood a word he'd said. His brow creased as his gaze darted between Ciro and me. "Isola is my fiancee. We're the ones who are supposed to be getting married."Then he looked at me, and for the first time, I saw panic creeping into his eyes. "Isola, all I said was that we needed to postpone the wedding for a few days. How could you let an outsider turn our wedding into this ridiculous spectacle?" I stepped half a pace out from behind Ciro and met Luca's gaze calmly. "Luca, this isn't a spectacle." I paused, letting my words sink in before continuing. "Ciro and I have gotten our marriage license. Today was supposed to be our wedding day. It just isn't yours and mine."Rosa came stumbling into the church moments later. Her eyes swept over the scene, and a flicker of excitement immediately appeared in them. "Wow, Isola, you really moved on fast. Don't tell me you were already seeing him behind Luca's back." Ciro turned his cold gaze

    Because I loved him, and Luca knew it. That was why he had always felt he could hurt me without limits. He was certain that no matter what he did, I would never truly leave.When I stayed silent, Luca assumed I was angry. Strangely, instead of being worried, he seemed relieved. "Isola, don't be mad. Rosa's condition is serious, and the specialist's schedule is extremely tight. It took us forever to get this appointment. If we postpone it again, we might have to wait another year or two. Rosa can't afford to wait that long, so I have no choice but to go with her." A trace of mockery flickered in my eyes. "Is there really no one else in the world who can do this? No caregiver? No assistant? Does it have to be you?" I asked, my voice growing heavier with every word. "Do you even care about my family's dignity?" As he heard my voice begin to crack under the weight of all the questions I had been holding back, Luca seemed completely reassured. To him, my anger was proof that I stil
