A unique video went viral overnight. In the video, on a snow-capped mountain peak, my boyfriend, Ted Moretti, knelt on one knee, his expression tender. Amidst applause, the ring on her finger sparkled; it was the ring of the Moretti family's future bride. Within hours, the video topped various trending charts. People hailed it as the most romantic proposal of the year. Anya Rossi later posted a message. "I've been looking forward to this wedding for so long, and now it's finally happening! Thank you!" The comment section was instantly flooded with excited exclamations. "A Mafia family heir and an ordinary woman? I love it!" "It's like something out of a novel." "So enviable." I went to my boyfriend to confirm. Before I could even speak, I heard him talking to a close friend in the study. “Do I have any other choice?” Ted said, a hint of annoyance in his voice. “If I don’t marry her, her gambler father will sell her off.” His friend hesitated. “But what about Carly? She’s been with you for so many years. Aren’t you worried she might lose her mind?” Ted chuckled, unconcerned. “So what if she’s angry? Carly and I have been together for six years. She won’t leave. She can’t leave.” At that moment, something deep inside me seemed to freeze completely. A month later On the same day Ted and Carly got married, I married another man. Our wedding processions met downtown. According to custom, we exchanged bouquets between the two passing wedding cars, and our windows rolled down simultaneously. That’s when Ted saw me. I was wearing a white wedding dress. Not behind him. But in another man’s arms. After knowing Ted Moretti for so many years, his consistently perfect composure crumbled for the first time.

The Wedding He Never Noticed Chapter 8
The Black Hand family banquet was held in an old stone manor on the hill. Crystal chandeliers. Long tables draped in black velvet. Everything about it spoke of hierarchy and memory. When Ted stepped inside, he felt it immediately. The pause. The subtle shift. Low voices followed him like shadows. “That’s him… the Moretti heir.” “Didn’t their coastal line just lose three routes?” “I heard it’s because he married the wrong woman.” “A woman who doesn’t understand rules.” Ted’s jaw tightened. He kept walking. Behind him, Anya stiffened. Her fingers curled instinctively around his sleeve. More whispers floated through the air—deliberately audible. “Have you seen Austin Ryder lately?” “Of course. Ever since he married her, his numbers skyrocketed.” “Routes cleared, partnerships reopened. He’s made a fortune this quarter.” A pause. Then the cruelest line, delivered almost casually— “Funny. His wife was supposed to be Moretti’s.” “Blindness is expensive.” Ted felt the h

The next morning, something felt wrong in Ted’s house. It was noisy when it should have been quiet. And strangely silent where warmth was supposed to exist. Anya was already awake. She stood by the kitchen island, phone pressed to her ear, voice deliberately raised—as if the house itself were an audience she needed to impress. “I told you, it’s fine,” she said impatiently. “Ted will handle it. The Moretti name won’t be questioned over something this small.” Ted stopped at the doorway. “What did you just say?” She turned around, startled for half a second, then smoothed her expression effortlessly. “Oh—nothing important. Just a charity gala next week. I told the organizers we’d attend.” “You told them?” His voice sharpened. “What exactly did you say?” She waved her hand dismissively. “Relax. I hinted about the port development project—you know, the one you mentioned before. It’ll attract the right crowd.” The word hinted struck him like a blade. “That project is classified,

Ryder's manor was completely different from Ted's. Here, I felt no pressure. No one was watching my every move. No one corrected my posture, no one reminded me where I should stand. Austin walked beside me. “This way,” he gestured softly, and we walked down the sunlit corridor. High windows overlooked the inner courtyard, dappled sunlight filtering through the neatly trimmed olive trees—peaceful and serene. I realized then that no one was rushing me. No one was forcing me to play a role. No one was forcing me to obey. No one was forcing me to remain silent. “This wing is usually used for internal meetings,” Austin continued, “but it’s quieter here. If you want some privacy, this is fine, and of course, you can go wherever you want.” I paused. “You don’t have to worry about me.” He stopped too and turned to face me. “It’s what I should do,” he said calmly. His words reminded me of Ted, who sometimes didn't care about my feelings at all. That afternoon, I attended my first

For a split second, he told himself it had to be a hallucination. The color drained from his face so fast it was almost frightening. His fingers stiffened midair, the bouquet slipping uselessly from his grasp, landing crookedly on the leather seat beside him. I watched it all. The precise moment his expression collapsed. The instant his authority—so carefully maintained for years—cracked in front of everyone who mattered. Our eyes met. His pupils trembled. He shoved the door open and stepped directly into the street, heedless of the horns, the gasps, the sudden tightening circle of security. And then—chaos. “What are you doing?” someone shouted. Ted didn’t hear them. “Carly—!”He said my name like a reflex. He took a step toward me. Security reacted immediately. Hands grabbed his arm. Voices barked commands. Bodies moved to block him—unyielding, trained. “Sir, you cannot leave the procession.” “I need to talk to her,” Ted snapped, his composure finally shattering. “Mo
