The Bride Was Not Me Chapter 9 Severing the Last Tie
"Victor, listen carefully. I will never let my son know that he has a father as vile as you. His birth certificate will soon have a blank space where the father's name should be. His life does not need your stain."Victor looked as if he had been struck by lightning. The color drained from his face in an instant.Watching his despair, it suddenly occurred to me that he still had no idea what his so-called true love really was."Still, since you're being so devoted in your repentance, I'll share a piece of news with you. Anna confessed to everything. From the very beginning, she got close to you for your money. Oh, and that child of hers…"I paused on purpose, watching his expression tighten with sudden panic, then spoke slowly. "Based on the timeline and some chat records she carelessly left behind, the child wasn't yours at all.""That's impossible! You're lying!" Victor jerked his head up, his eyes bloodshot, as if he might break through the glass. "She loves me! She did all tha
The Bride Was Not Me Chapter 8 Confessions Behind Glass
When she found me, her face looked waxy and sallow, but her eyes burned with a reckless ferocity."Vanessa, it was you! You ruined everything!" she screamed. "You destroyed my wedding, my baby, my future!"She jabbed a finger at me, her voice sharp and shrill.I stirred the coffee in my cup at an unhurried pace, then looked up at her. "I ruined you? Wasn't it your own choice to break into someone else's marriage, betray your duties as a nurse, and hurt an innocent infant?"Anna let out a cold laugh. The fake innocence and shy sweetness she once wore like a mask were gone. What remained was raw jealousy and naked hatred."Yes! I did it on purpose. So what?" she snapped. "I recognized you a long time ago. I knew who you were the day I walked into your studio."I lowered my eyes and smiled faintly. Just as I'd expected.She stepped closer, lowering her voice, though it couldn't hide the madness underneath."Why? Why did he say he loved me, yet still couldn't bring himself to divor
The Bride Was Not Me Chapter 7 Justice Arrives
My best friend looked at me, worry flickering in her eyes. "Vanessa, once you submit this, Victor won't be facing a light sentence. Are you sure? This could affect your son's future security clearances or any jobs requiring background checks."I took the file bag from her—heavy, almost as if it carried the weight of all the years of deceit.I gazed out the window at the bright sunlight, drew a deep breath, and let it out slowly."My mind's made up," I said, my voice steady. "My son will inherit wealth and a trust fund that most people can't even dream of in a lifetime. He doesn't need a father with a ruined name to give him any so-called love or connections."My friend nodded silently, offering no more objections.That afternoon, every piece of evidence against Victor was neatly submitted to the authorities.…Meanwhile, Anna, delayed in getting medical care, lost the baby.On the plane, Victor sat slumped, exhausted and brooding, replaying the chaos of the wedding and the mess
The Bride Was Not Me Chapter 6 The Truth Exposed
The photos laid everything bare—exactly how Victor and Anna had used my two-month-old baby as a living practice prop.Victor's face went pale. He couldn't force out another plea for mercy.Olivia stared at the images, disbelief widening her eyes. She had sided with her son because Anna was pregnant, but she had genuinely loved this long-awaited grandson.She spun on Victor, her voice sharp and shrill. "Victor! Is this real? How could you do this to your own child?"Her whole body shook with rage, yet she couldn't bring herself to hit her son.Then she saw Anna. All her fury and misplaced blame finally found an outlet.She charged the stage, where Anna was still trembling, and slapped her hard across the face."Was this your idea? You vile woman! How could you use my grandson as your practice prop? I'll beat you to death, you heartless monster!""Ah!" Caught off guard, Anna stumbled sideways, screaming.Only then did Victor snap out of his panic. Seeing Anna being hit, he rushe
The Bride Was Not Me Chapter 5 The Wedding Unraveled
Victor's anger vanished in an instant, replaced by sheer panic. He tried to force a smile, but it looked far worse than crying. "Vanessa… what are you doing here?"Before he could finish, fresh red paint dripped from above onto his face, making his feeble attempt at composure look utterly ridiculous.Anna stood frozen, hands instinctively clutching her lower belly, her face pale as paper. She glanced at me, then at Victor, unable to speak a single word.Olivia reacted first, plastering a nervous, flattering smile on her face. She lunged to grab my hand, but her foot landed in the spilled paint. With a harsh slip, she crashed to the floor.She struggled to rise, only to slip again on the slick paint, hitting the ground hard once more.The relatives who had just surrounded Anna with congratulations and sneaky jabs at me now lowered their heads, exchanging uneasy glances. The once-boisterous church fell into a stunned silence.Then, a sharp female voice cut through the quiet.It wa
The Bride Was Not Me Chapter 4 A Wedding Drenched in Red
When her coworkers froze her out, it was Victor who stepped in to defend her."To meet a man like this," Anna said sweetly, "must be a blessing earned over several lifetimes."Watching the two of them trade lines like a rehearsed duet made my stomach churn.I had already found out the truth. Anna's nursing job had been bought. She didn't understand even the most basic medical knowledge.She followed medication orders word for word and still managed to give patients the wrong drugs, making their conditions worse. In the end, her coworkers were always the ones cleaning up her mess.But Victor didn't care about any of that. All it took was a few tears from Anna, and he was cruel enough to turn my son into a living teaching prop for her.At that moment, Victor wrapped an arm around Anna's shoulders and turned to face the audience.He was so overwhelmed with emotion that he even choked up, unable to speak for a second."Today," he finally said, voice trembling, "there's actually one
