All Chapters of The Stranger I Met On The Altar: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

When Bruce proposed, of course Alexis was going to turn it down. She told Bruce that things were a bit complicated and she didn't want to get married.When Charles heard this, he was furious and called her stupid, saying that getting married to Bruce was the smartest and quickest way to get what they wanted.“This is such a good turn of events. Why didn't I even think of that?” Charles said. Then he snorted. “Typical Bruce, always digging his pit with his own hands. Always has been stupid”“But… but what about us?” Alexis asked, almost teary-eyed.“Nothing is going to happen to us, sweetie. Trust me. You will always be the only woman I have ever loved. But you have to marry Bruce. You will be my planted spy. Feed me everything I will need to destroy him. And when my own marriage ends, you will divorce him and we will finally be together” Charles assured.And so she went back to Bruce and told him she was just overwhelmed as at the time he proposed but after she did some thinking, she

AARON’S POV“Just when I thought I couldn’t hate you more than this,” I said in a low voice even though my body shook with anger.I slammed my fists on the table. Hard. Enough to rattle the glass of water sitting on it.My father looked at me, there was something in his eyes, quite unreadable.“Elizabeth told you” was all he could say.“Elizabeth didn’t tell me shit,” I said, flinging the documents I had printed out of the flash drive, including the pictures, at him. He picked it up and went through them, his face draining of color.“The first time I confronted you about this, you sat there and pretended I didn’t know what I was talking about. How about now? Will you say that’s fake?”“Son, I can explain”“Save it!” I banged the table hard, my fists clenching so hard it hurt.“You dared…” I closed my eyes, took in deep breaths willing myself to calm down, so I could talk calmly. Shouting was exhausting.“How could you be sleeping with my wife’s mother? Of all people, why did it have t

This wasn't what I wanted. Divorcing Aaron was nowhere in my bingo card at the moment. Not when things had been going on well between us. Not now that I'm in love with him.I'm not leaving him and I let my dad know.“What did you just say?” my dad asked, surely not believing his ears.“I am not getting a divorce. I want to stay married to Aaron” I repeated, meeting his gaze.He stares at me for a full minute before saying, “You don’t know what you’re talking about. This is not the time to be rebellious Elizabeth. You’re divorcing Aaron and that’s final. I won’t have my daughter being a part of such a despicable family”I stood up facing him squarely. “You should have thought about that before selling me off to the Vanderbilts in a bid to save your company. Whatever feud you have with Charles Vanderbilt should be settled between the two of you, but keep Aaron and me out of it”He looked at me, suspicion clouding his eyes, “Do you love him - Aaron?”“Yes,” I said without hesitation.“Y

A week passed, just like that, with me cooped up in the room every single day and just wallowing in my sadness.With each day that passed, I hoped and prayed, that Aaron would snap out of whatever madness he had going on in his head and seek me out.Every morning I stood by the window, watching him get into his car and drive off. And in the evening, I watched him get out of his car and walk in, and for each time I hoped he would come knocking on my door, my hope faded away because he didn’t.I was mad at him. But God I missed him so much.He made it clear that he didn’t want to see me, and so I decided to stay out of his way because I felt he needed time, time to sort out things, time to think, time to conclude that we weren’t at fault in any of this.A knock sounded at my door and I knew it was either Heather or Anna, it was noon and Aaron wasn’t home.“Come in”The door opened and Anna walked in.“You have a guest ma’am,” she said.I raised an eyebrow. Guest? Who could it be?“Who?”

AARON’S POVMy phone buzzed on my desk, and the screen lit up with Ryan’s name. I picked it up and pressed it to my ear.“Yeah?”“Uh Aaron man, so I just left your house right now” I sat up. “What were you doing at my house this time of day? I work, you know right?”“Yeah. I went to meet Elizabeth actually”“You went to meet with my wife in my absence?”“Cut the bullshit,” I heard him snort. “It’s about Taylor, I urgently need to know her whereabouts, do you perhaps know where she is at the moment?”I rolled my eyes. “Is that why you called me Ryan?”“Like husband, like wife. So fucking tight-lipped” I heard him murmur. “Anyway, the reason I called is to let you know that Elizabeth’s mother showed up while I was there. And boy oh boy, the energy was off. There’s something cold and unsettling about that woman’s aura that….”“Hold up. Come again, Alexis is at the house with my wife right now?”“Yeah. And there seems to be bad blood between them. I just thought to let you know. She even
