Chapter 9

ผู้เขียน: Winter Pony
I knew it would be pointless to attempt to reason with her. There was no way she'd listen to me. I marched over to the phone and called the security office. "Hello. Please send a few security guards to my house. Someone is trespassing."

Alice panicked when she heard me calling for security. She cried out in despair, "You seriously don't want me anymore? You once said that you'd never abandon me no matter what I do!"

That familiar promise sounded nothing but ironic to me now. My heart was as co

  • The Stars Align for Us to Say Goodbye   Chapter 10

    Mrs. Boone was no fool. With just a quick glance, she sensed that something fishy was afoot, and the atmosphere chilled."Are you expecting, Ms. Moore? I'm afraid we're a small, humble family—and not in the habit of raising someone else's grandchild for them."Having been humiliated in front of so many people, the proud and spoiled Alice lost her temper. "What? You think I'm interested in that useless son of yours?"The expressions on the Boones' faces immediately darkened."I can see that the Moore family doesn't place much emphasis on proper upbringing," Mrs. Boone remarked.She grabbed her son and picked up her Hermes handbag before storming out of the room, saying, "This isn't over yet, Mr. Moore. From now on, the Boones won't involve themselves in any of the Moore family's business projects!"The Boones marched out, leaving the Moores behind at the restaurant.Mr. Moore's blood pressure skyrocketed, and for the first time ever, he hit Alice."Why are you acting as if you s

    I knew it would be pointless to attempt to reason with her. There was no way she'd listen to me. I marched over to the phone and called the security office. "Hello. Please send a few security guards to my house. Someone is trespassing."Alice panicked when she heard me calling for security. She cried out in despair, "You seriously don't want me anymore? You once said that you'd never abandon me no matter what I do!"That familiar promise sounded nothing but ironic to me now. My heart was as cold as ice as I looked at her tearful expression.Sneering, I remarked, "I think it's important for everyone to at least have some principles, Alice. Didn't you think I was being too controlling toward you? Well, you're free now. Why aren't you happy?"She opened her mouth to argue, but I couldn't be bothered to continue talking to her. Just then, two security guards arrived. They stood on both sides of her, each grabbing one of her arms."Let go of me! I'm Mrs. Shelton! I'm Luke's wife!"She

    With an icy tone dripping with mockery, I continued, "It's true that Cole was away on a business trip during that time, but it's only a two-hour train ride to and from Rockshore City. Would it really be so hard for him to make a quick trip back to Northvale?"The crowd erupted once more. This time, all eyes fell on Alice, shooting her looks of scorn and contempt.Isaac proceeded to play an audio recording—it was the conversation Alice had with Miranda in the bathroom."That fool actually believed me and thought I'd been abducted. Cole and I went at it for three days in a row. I had the best time of my life! Oh, well. Since I can't marry Cole, my only option is to let him be the first man I take to bed before I get married."When the recording ended, a deafening commotion broke out across the hall. People gasped in shock and shook their heads, openly exclaiming over Alice's lack of shame.Alice could no longer maintain her act. She covered her face and screamed before fleeing the h

    Throughout the entire video, not once did Alice show the slightest attempt to struggle or break away from Cole. There was no sign that she'd been abducted or taken against her will.The timestamp in the lower right corner of the video clearly showed that the footage was from the day Alice had supposedly been "sexually assaulted".The crowd was in an uproar again. Everyone bore varying looks of confusion, shock, and contempt.Alice's sobbing stopped abruptly as the color drained from her face."This was edited! The video's fake! You're loaded, Luke. I'm sure you can create any kind of video you want! This was fabricated! This is slander!"She alternated between pointing at the screen and at me, her eyes filled with both fear and the unwillingness to accept this situation.The live stream chat instantly descended into chaos as well."Holy crap! What kind of plot twist is this?""Well, I knew it. There's no way Luke Shelton's the kind of man she said he was. This is wild.""I fee

    "Mr. Shelton! Is Ms. Moore telling the truth?""Kindly give us an explanation, Mr. Shelton!""Mr. Shelton, have you seriously chosen to abandon Ms. Moore because of what she went through?""Ms. Langdon! Are you aware of this situation?"A flood of questions came from the reporters, nearly turning the situation into utter chaos. I stepped forward and shielded Vanessa completely behind me, keeping her out of everyone's prying, speculative eyes."Alice, I can't believe you still have the strength to show up at my wedding after spending the entire night in another man's bed."All at once, the crowd fell into a dead silence before breaking out into even more fervent discussion. The guests whispered to each other, their expressions thoughtful and unreadable.Alice's tear-streaked face twisted with rage as she shrieked, "You're lying! You're trying to slander me! You're such a scumbag, Luke. I can't believe you're actually saying such things just to cast me aside!"She jabbed a trembl

    Feeling rather frantic as she sat in the cab, Alice began spamming me with calls, but they all went unanswered. She only ever heard a robotic voice telling her that the number could not be reached at the moment.She was on the brink of a meltdown when her phone screen lit up. Thinking that I was returning her calls, she hastily accepted the call and cried out, "Luke—"However, it was her mother's shrill voice that blared through the phone."Alice! What the hell is going on? Why are they stopping our entire family from entering the hotel? And why aren't you the bride?"Mr. Moore, Alice's father, who only cared about personal gain, snatched the phone away from Mrs. Moore and snapped, "Did you piss Luke off again? I told you long ago that your job is to keep him happy!"You've already let some other man sleep with you first. Why are you still so blind to what you should be doing? Well, look what you've done. You've humiliated our entire family!"Her parents' rebukes drenched her li
