All Chapters of Not the Wedding I Need: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The wedding was 30 hours away. The owner of the pizzeria where it was to be held, Bob Walden, had long since helped me decorate the place the way I wanted it.When I called him, he cheerily asked whether I wanted to get more flowers to spruce the place further. I smiled bitterly. "I'm canceling the wedding, Mr. Walden."He sounded relieved. "That's great! You've finally seen sense. No proper man would make his wife settle for a wedding in a pizzeria in this day and age—he's just making a fool out of you!"You're a wonderful woman, and you deserve a man who's much better than him. You don't have to settle for a bastard like him! I can't believe he said having the wedding here would be memorable. What's so memorable about it?"I lowered my head and remembered the video I'd seen last night. The pizzeria was indeed a nostalgic place, but the memories created there didn't belong to Harold and me. They belonged to him and Ivory.That was where they'd first met during college. It was als

It was finally the day of what was supposed to be my wedding. Harold and I had agreed to start preparing for the big day at 6:00 am, but he only returned at 9:00 am, when the sky was completely bright.He was furious when he looked up and saw me sitting in the living room. "Are you trying to scare the daylights out of me? Why are you sitting there without saying a word?"I didn't speak as I looked at him. He'd had a night of fun and reeked of alcohol. His hair was a mess, and his clothes were unkempt. There was also a lipstick stain on his collar. He didn't seem to be aware of it, though.I would've been enraged in the past, but now, I merely looked away without saying a word.Harold started berating me as he took his clothes off. "Do you have to be so excited over a dumb wedding? Look at your dark eye circles—they make you uglier than you already are. Don't blame me for this when you don't look like a blushing bride. I'm not going to go through this hassle with you again."He thr

I landed in Cordon City four hours later, and a colleague came to pick me up. I didn't expect him to be a classmate from middle school."I didn't expect to see you here, Sean. It's been a long time," I said.I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw Sean Tate. He was completely different from the kid I remembered from middle school. Now tall and handsome, he attracted attention just by standing there.I'd frequently seen his updates on social media, so I could vaguely recognize him.Sean approached me with a bright smile. He seemed to light the place up. "I didn't expect to see you, either. I'm surprised you remember me."His eyes twinkled as he looked at me. We caught up as we left the airport. I learned that we were supposed to attend the same high school. However, his family had moved to Cordon City before the semester started due to his father's sudden work transfer.That night, Sean threw me a small welcoming party with the rest of our colleagues. Throughout the meal, he k

I arrived at the company to see people crowded around the entrance. It was noisy.When one of my new colleagues saw me, she said excitedly, "Someone's proposing!""Proposing?" I repeated.The crowd parted to reveal Harold, who stood in the middle. He wore the suit I'd ordered for our wedding, and his hair was slicked back neatly. He held a bouquet of roses.I reflexively turned to leave, but I was too late. He'd already seen me and ran to me through the crowd. He soon stopped before me. Despite the ugly look on my face, he said, "I'm here to pursue you, Minerva!"I know I hurt you in the past, but I've reflected on my mistakes. I want to pursue you again. Even if you've stopped loving me, I'll make you fall for me again!"He pulled a diamond ring from his pocket and got on one knee. "Will you give me another chance, Minerva?"I instantly became the center of attention. I could no longer control myself because of his dramatic performance and gave him a scornful look. "I've alread
