All Chapters of Waiting for Something That Never Came: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After an investigation, Wilson discovered there was only one Lane family living in the entire Mt. Crowfrost area—Ivory's adoptive parents. Unfortunately, by the time Wilson made his way there, Ivory had already been reunited with the Stone family.Ivory's adoptive parents were Belinda's birth parents. They lived in squalor in the mountains. The whole "switched at birth" situation was actually something orchestrated by Belinda's birth father, Frank Lane.However, the Stones had no idea Frank and his wife, Sheila Green, had deliberately switched the babies. They'd thought it was an accident.And so, when they discovered how poor the Lane family was, John and Nancy couldn't bear to leave Ivory there to suffer. They'd given Frank and Sheila a huge sum of money before taking Ivory home with them.Frank and Sheila weren't educated, but they had plenty of tricks up their sleeves. When Wilson had told them he was there to repay the favor he owed "Belinda", Frank had immediately asked, "You

"What gave Ivory the right to take everything that was mine the moment she was reunited with the Stone family?" Belinda wailed. "She took my name, parents, and identity as an heiress! What did I do wrong? Why did the heavens do this to me?"I hate Ivory with every fiber of my being! This is all her fault! If not for her existence, I would still be the beloved heiress of the Stone family, not some impostor who's forced to live under someone's roof!"She was so aggrieved that she broke down in tears as she spoke. She was the one who'd stolen the life that should've been Ivory's, yet she made herself out to be the victim in this. She even thought Ivory was at fault for taking what had once been hers.It seemed she didn't even think about the fact that none of those things were hers, to begin with.Wilson couldn't be bothered to waste his breath arguing with someone whose morals and beliefs were completely twisted. He shoved Belinda away and said icily, "I'll deal with you when I get b

The Fuller family was Weston's most prestigious family, so naturally, its sole heir's wedding had to be as extravagant as possible.A red carpet stretched across the large hall, and gigantic chandeliers hung from the ceiling, refracting dazzling light. Marble banquet tables were groaning under the weight of overflowing delicacies, and champagne towers shimmered with the decadence of wealth.Servers dressed in black tuxedos weaved through the sea of guests comprising elites and socialites from all over the world.The wedding march began to play as everyone watched and waited. Flower girls and bridesmaids preceded Ivory as she walked down the aisle."The bride is gorgeous! She's breathtaking, even with the veil on!""So what if she's pretty? Do you think she can stay alive after marrying Simon?""Man, the pretty ones are always the first to go. It's such a shame that someone as beautiful as her has such a sad fate."The guests were abuzz. Some of them exclaimed over Ivory's beauty

Since Wilson now knew that Ivory was the girl who'd once saved him, there was no way he could watch as she jumped into a hellhole. He knew she didn't love Simon—she'd only agreed to marry him out of anger.She was mad at Wilson for breaking his promise to protect her, and she was also angry at her parents for choosing Belinda over her.That was why she'd given everything up. She'd chosen to marry a cruel sadist rather than remain with bastards who had claimed to love her yet had disappointed her time and time again.Wilson was well aware of Ivory's anguish and turmoil. That was all the more reason why he couldn't let her marry Simon. Going from the pot and into the fire wouldn't solve anything. He had to save her from the trouble she was getting herself into, whether or not she wanted his help!"Simon, you and Ivory don't have feelings for each other. Marrying her or anyone else shouldn't make any difference to you," Wilson said. "Name your condition. I'll agree to anything as long

With that, Wilson took off his clothes and got into the bathtub filled with water and ice. The cold sliced across his skin like sharp knives when his skin touched the water, going bone-deep.At the same time, the aphrodisiac he'd taken earlier took effect. He felt like there were thousands of ants gnawing away at every cell in his being and every inch of his bones, yet the frostiness of the water made him feel like he was trapped in a massive block of ice.But no matter how cold the water was, it couldn't extinguish the scorching, maddening heat blazing within him. Still, at least it helped him to maintain his rationality for the time being. He could still keep himself from doing things that he wasn't supposed to do to Ivory.Wilson looked up at her, his gaze filled with heartache. "So, this is how you felt that night. I get it now…"He deserved to go to hell for leaving her in such an agonizing state."Do you really think this will make me forgive you?" Ivory clenched her fists a
