Makkhika M Thank you for reading. ❤️ Just to clear up a small misunderstanding, there was some inconsistency in the spelling of Oindrila's nickname. I've now finalized it as 'Oni' and will try to keep it consistent throughout the story. I'll also correct the previous mistakes gradually. I hope the confusion hasn't caused too much trouble. Thank you for your understanding!

Vengeful Vows 18. Left Behind
The marriage registration office was quiet that morning. Occasionally, I could hear the sound of papers being moved and keyboards clicking. I sat at one end of the long wooden table. Granny was beside me, looking both happy and worried. On my other side sat Uncle Matthew, leaning back in his chair with a satisfied expression. Across the table sat Andreas, cold and unreadable. Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, he looked as intimidating as ever. His mere presence seemed to make the registrar nervous. His personal assistant stood behind him, holding a leather folder, while two bodyguards waited silently near the door. Unlike me, he sat comfortably, absorbed in his phone, without even sparing anyone a glance. "Everything is ready, Mr. King," the registrar announced, sliding the documents across the table. "You may proceed with the signatures." Only then did Andreas lift his head and glance at the papers. Without a moment's hesitation, he picked up the pen. "Where do I sign?"
Vengeful Vows 17. Between Love and Dreams
She hesitated before answering. "My cousin wants me to go to Velora." I frowned. "Velora? Why?" "She thinks I should pursue acting there. She's offered to introduce me to a few producers and directors." I blinked in surprise. Isabella had only recently started her modelling career, but things were already going well for her. She was slowly establishing herself in the industry, and I knew acting had always been another dream of hers. "Your cousin means Elsa Green, right?" She nodded. Elsa Green was a well-known actress who had spent years building her reputation in the entertainment industry. Having someone like her willing to offer guidance and introductions was an opportunity most aspiring actresses could only hope for. "Then what's stopping you?" I asked. "This could be exactly what you've been waiting for." Isabella's gaze dropped to her hands. "Adrian... If I move to Velora, we'll have to live apart," she explained. "And he doesn't want me to go." I watched her qu

"I never thought Oni would be the first one among us to get married!" Autumn exclaimed. Isabella added immediately. "Neither did I." I rolled my eyes while Autumn grinned at me. "I always thought Adrian and Isabella would get married first." "Hey!" This time, it was Isabella's turn to protest. "Why does everyone keep saying that?" "Because it's true!" Autumn declared. Isabella's face turned red, making me chuckle. "And honestly, everyone thought Oindrila would end up with Alex," Autumn added casually. At the mention of Alex, my smile faded slightly. It felt strange to think about him now, especially with my own wedding approaching. But there had been a time when Alex and I were just as close as Adrian and Isabella, perhaps even closer. Back then, everyone had assumed that our childhood friendship would eventually turn into something more. But that had never happened. Mostly because I had never allowed it to. As we grew older, I had deliberately started keeping my dist

Nicole placed her hand on her stomach, gently caressing it. She had been doing it constantly the entire time. I couldn't help wondering if she was doing it intentionally... to remind me that she was carrying Brandon's child. Did she think it would make me jealous? Did she expect me to feel hurt? Well, I wouldn’t say it didn’t affect me at all, but what she didn’t know was that her pregnancy had actually made it easier for me to let go of my feelings for Brandon. "Oh, Oni," Nicole said. Her voice was dripped with false sympathy. "Are you really sad?" I looked at her without answering. "Are you sad that I’m marrying the man you love?" She continued, narrowing her brows in a display of false concern. "...and that you have to stand here and help choose the bridal dress for me?" "I’m not sad, Nicole," I replied calmly. "So you don’t have to worry about me." "Are you sure?" She tilted her head. "It must be difficult, whether you want to admit it or not. Watching the man you loved
Vengeful Vows 14. Wedding Dress
"It still feels unreal that you’re getting married in just a few days," Granny said with a warm smile. "Soon, you’ll have a family of your own." I shook my head. "You and Grandpa were my first family, Granny. You’ll always be my family. Everyone else comes after you." We sat together on the garden bench, slowly sipping coffee from our mugs. The peaceful morning air and Granny’s company made everything feel comforting. But moments like this had become rare ever since I started working at the office. "You grew up so quickly, my child," she murmured as she gently caressed my hair. "I’m going to miss you." The sadness in her voice made my heart ache. And honestly, there was something that had been troubling me for the past few days as well. After marrying Andreas, I would have to leave Granny behind in this house. Would Uncle Matthew and his family take proper care of her? Granny already spent most of her days alone, either sitting in the garden or staying quietly in her room.
Vengeful Vows 13. Hypocrite
The moment I stepped into the living room, I saw Nicole and Aunt Pamela sitting together, excitedly looking at something on their phones. And sitting beside them was Brandon’s mother, Celina, calmly sipping coffee from a cup. Aunt Jasmine was with them as well, and judging by the way they were gathered together, it seemed like something was going on. Oh, right. How could I forget? Yesterday evening, Brandon and Nicole had announced that their wedding would take place next month. Nicole was naturally on cloud nine. The moment the announcement was made, she had started planning everything with so much excitement that no one in the house could possibly miss it. She had even taken a break from work at the company just to focus entirely on planning her dream wedding. And here I was. My own wedding was only a few days away, yet there was no excitement, no planning... nothing at all. I let out a sigh. Lowering my head, I quietly made my way towards my room, hoping to avoid them. "Oh..
