Regret

At the wedding I've spent months planning, my usually stoic fiancé, Anthony Scott, is about to run off with his assistant, Erica Jones. To top it all off, she is wearing a wedding gown. Out of nowhere, his younger brother, Christopher Scott, grabs my hand and plans to pull me straight to City Hall. He disregards my panicking eyes. "Let's get married," he says, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. Then, the stage decorations suddenly collapse, revealing a room full of guests mocking and laughing at me. The two men who once swore to love me forever do all just to make Erica smile. The three of them clink glasses and drink a love toast on stage, completely lost in their own moment. "The wedding you planned was way too outdated. You should thank Erica for turning it into a bachelorette party!" "The real wedding will be this Sunday. Isn't Erica's idea amazing?" Anthony and Christopher were confident that I wouldn't dare leave them. But I quietly pick up my phone and type a message. "Let's set the wedding date for this Sunday, Levi."

Chapter 1
My phone relentlessly buzzed with excited messages. "I'll start planning the wedding right away!"Erica Jones leaned against Christopher Scott while pouting. "Scarlett, you know I never believed in marriage. I just wanted to experience it once, and Anthony and Christopher jumped at the chance to make it happen!"I said nothing. Before I could even react, Christopher slapped the phone from my hand. "Are you deaf? Didn't our family teach you any manners? Erica's being sincere. Why do you have to be so petty that you can't even answer her?"My fiancé, Anthony Scott, stepped in front of me—not to defend me, but to shield Erica. He glanced down at the screen. "What are you planning? Are you going on a trip?"I quickly picked up the phone and locked it. "It's a company project."The three of them stood there like a perfect picture, like a scene straight out of a magazine. And me? I was the joke.Around me, murmurs swirled like smoke."She still thinks she's the bride? Please. This who

Chapter 2
If it had been before, I would've begged Christopher and Anthony for forgiveness. My parents died trying to protect me, and my grandmother resented me so much that she refused to raise me. That was how I ended up in the care of the Scott family who were close family friends.As I lived under someone else's roof, I grew up painfully aware of my place. Back then, whenever there was a fight between us, I was always the first to lower my head and chase after them with apologies.They'd feel bad, pull me close, and promise to protect me—to spoil me like a princess, never letting me feel hurt again.During the 17 years of getting along with them, I ended up dating the steadier, more reliable Anthony. Christopher, on the other hand, blew up in anger. But even as we turned adults, he still treated me like his younger sister.But soon, everything changed. Teresa Smith, Anthony and Christopher's mother, went overseas for treatment, and I, like something old and no longer needed, was thro

Christopher sheepishly lowered his head as he closed the box, but he grumbled under his breath. "It's probably something a guest left behind by accident… The boxes looked too similar, I must've mixed them up."Then, Anthony, who once swore he'd never hide anything from me, stepped in to back him up. "Yeah, you know how some guests like to feel... at home.""At home"? Since when did guests get to ride around in their private car?Ever since Erica showed up, the passenger seat had practically become her throne. She'd sprawl out like a queen with her bare feet resting on the cushion that I carefully selected.And yet—I didn't care anymore. However, my compliance made them uneasy. "You seem off, Scarlett. You're really not mad?" Then came the warning. "If you've got something to say, say it to us. Don't take it out on Erica."I shook my head. "No… I just don't think I should be making a scene anymore."They exchanged glances, thrown off by my calmness. To them, it had been a whil

At the same time, a security guard's hand clamped tightly over my mouth, his fingers squeezing my throat.I was thrown into the car, but my hands banged against the window, hoping Levi would notice me. But the roar of the engine drowned everything out, and my hope slipped away like sand.The car screeched to a halt in front of Scott Manor. Anthony kindly shielded the door for Erica while Christopher roughly yanked me out. Without hesitation, he grabbed the things I'd packed and hurled them at me. The three of them stood under umbrellas, looking down on me, drenched, defeated, and shivering in the rain.Christopher sneered. "So, you really planned to run away, huh? Packed your bags and everything? Let me show you what happens when you leave the Scott family—where else could you possibly go?"I quietly lowered my head as I gathered the ruined props.Anthony's voice cut through the cold air, "If you apologize to Erica right now, you can still be Mrs. Scott."I sifted through the

On my last day before leaving the country, I stopped by the company for my final handover.Levi wasn't allowed upstairs, but he stayed by the building entrance, standing guard like a shadow that refused to leave.While I was wrapping things up, I caught a few former colleagues whispering behind their hands."So, that's Mr. Anthony's fiancée who cheated? She hooked up with someone at her parents' gravesite. Unbelievable."Right on cue, my phone buzzed with a flood of notifications. They were photos of me and Levi plastered all over social media."#TopWeddingPlannerCatchesCheatingScandalBeforeWedding."The story was blowing up, and cancellation requests were rolling in one after another."I'm not letting some homewrecker plan my wedding! A whore like you should just kill yourself!" My direct messages were filled with venom.I stayed calm, deleted everything I needed to, and got ready to leave. But just as I stepped into the stairwell, Anthony and Christopher appeared, blocking my

Chapter 6
Anthony and Christopher could sense something was off with me, but they didn't know where to begin. So, they simply kept watch me until late at night.When I opened my suitcase, a few pages of my manuscript slipped out. Anthony bent down, picked one up, and his eyes lit up. "Scarlett, I knew you were looking forward to this! Let's plan another wedding after this one, yeah? We've got all the time in the world…"But he didn't know that there was no "after" for us anymore. The look in his eyes was so tender, as if he were deeply in love with me.Christopher pulled me into a tight hug, grinning. "The Scott family will always be your home."After they left, I showered three times. I scrubbed so hard my skin turned red.At dawn, I got into Levi's car and headed for the airport. Meanwhile, my phone wouldn't stop buzzing. Messages poured in from Anthony and Christopher as they were filled with panic and confusion."Where did you go? Answer your phone!""We can't find you at the hote

Our wedding and the sudden revelation of the Carter family's long-hidden heir, Levi, shot straight to the top of every trending list. Hashtags related to the scandal exploded overnight and were flooded with clips of Christopher and Anthony. Their meddling before I left the country, which they'd hoped would help bring me back to them, turned out to be a dagger they drove into their own backs.Public opinion quickly swung in one direction, and even the few die-hard Scott family supporters found themselves banned and silenced online.This time, the world finally saw the true power of the Carter family, and their view of the Scott family shifted entirely.Meanwhile, I was fully focused on preparing for an international competition. So, when I bumped into Christopher and Anthony in a foreign country during my honeymoon—of all places—I was completely caught off guard.It wasn't until they rushed over to grab me that I realized they were coming straight for me."That wedding plan was m

"Scarlett is my wife now. And a proper ex should act like they're dead." Levi's calm, deliberate voice only made Anthony and Christopher look more pathetic in contrast.Christopher's fingers curled tightly into his palms. "We've known each other since we were kids… "Scarlett, don't you remember that time in high school when it suddenly rained, and you came running just to bring me an umbrella?"His eyes lit up as he saw me pause, as if he regained a flicker of hope. "And your birthday presents—we always gave you your favorite props, didn't we? Remember when we promised to throw a party for just the three of us?"I came back to my senses and smiled faintly, glancing past him.He instinctively turned to follow my gaze and saw shelves lined with carefully arranged props and designs."You two stopped giving me gifts years ago. And those props have been obsolete for a long time."Even those so-called memories… they were the ones who threw them away.His hand dropped, and he couldn'

It was probably Christopher and Anthony who had signed Erica up for the competition again.In the blink of an eye, she was trending everywhere. Her popularity spiked, and with it, the old mistress scandal resurfaced. Now, her reputation in the industry was toast."So, all her work was stolen too?""And she stole Scarlett's fiancé! Honestly, those two idiots treated a plagiarist like she was some kind of genius."The Internet was ruthless. Everyone piled on her, laughing like she was some kind of spectacle.Anthony and Christopher's dad, Peter Scott, was livid. Nevertheless, none of the comments were taken down.Christopher and Anthony just sat there, letting every word cut them open like knives, as if it were some kind of twisted penance."Does this make you feel better now?" Gone was their arrogance. The tone of their messages was almost timid."With or without help, I would've won. What you guys did had nothing to do with me," I coldly replied.After that, silence fell.
