Broken Seven Times Over のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

My boyfriend, Zachary Gardner, had been involved with his adopted sister, Louise Foster. He even jilted me seven times for her. During the last wedding ceremony, when I forced him to make a final choice between me and her, he ultimately chose Louise.When Zachary got back to the house, I was sitting dazedly on the couch, still in my wedding gown. Our eyes met, but neither one of us spoke."Claire."Louise stuck her head out from behind Zachary. With a pitiful look on her face, she said to me, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called Zach on your wedding day. But I didn't expect him to love me so much that he'd actually come over to accompany me…"Although it was an apology, every word was thick with boastful smugness."You can drop the act. It simply annoys me," I replied with an icy scoff.Immediately, Louise's eyes watered, and Zachary took pity on her at once. He pulled her into his arms before turning back to me with a cold stare. "You went too far, Claire. It's just a wedding c

At the bridal boutique, I entered the changing room to try on a wedding gown. I had just unhooked my lingerie when Louise yanked open the curtain of my changing room, revealing my back to the public. The passing customers all exclaimed when they saw me.Covering my chest with one arm, I tugged hard on the curtain, but Louise was shockingly strong."Oh, I'm so sorry, Claire! I just couldn't wait to see you in your wedding gown. I didn't expect this to happen. I'm truly sorry," Louise said, all while clutching the curtain tightly.My gaze grew steadily colder. I gave her a hard shove, knocking her to the floor, before grabbing the curtain and pulling it shut.To my shock, at the very next second, a pair of hands tightened forcefully around me.Louise's voice rang out beside my ear. "How dare you push me, you bitch!"She finally dropped all pretense. Inside the cramped changing room, she drove me into the corner, her nails digging painfully into my flesh. I fought back with all my s

The bodyguard stammered for a long while before finally saying that Louise had come by, and Claire disappeared after.At the mention of Louise's name, Zachary's eyes flashed ruthlessly."Where's Louise?"…The moment the door was kicked open, Louise immediately sat up straight on the couch. Staring pitifully at Zachary, she said, "I knew you still cared about me, Zach…"She rushed forward to hug him, but he shoved her to the floor before grabbing her by the jaw. "Tell me what you said to Claire!"Louise was caught off guard. She didn't expect that Zachary had only come to see her because of Claire."Speak!" he demanded, his hand clenching even more tightly around her jaw.Louise was on the verge of tears. Feeling hurt and aggrieved, her eyes turned red, and she screamed back in anger, "I didn't say anything to her!"Zachary slapped her across the face without holding back."Why would she leave if you hadn't said anything? You had the nerve to parade yourself in front of her a

Sauvaine was besieged by war, and the situation was especially devastating along the border regions. Although there were over a dozen people on the medical team, we were still so busy that sometimes, we only managed to grab one meal a day.During one of the conflict outbreaks, the number of casualties went over a hundred. My eyes turned red as I stared at the endless stream of patients waiting to be treated.Suddenly, Connor rapped me on the head. "Don't get distracted. Are you planning on letting her die?"He took the scissors from my hand and began tending to the wounds of the little girl in front of us. His hands moved quickly and efficiently. Soon, he had stopped the bleeding and tied her bandage with a professional-looking knot.As if sensing my confusion, he explained, "I used to be a war correspondent and picked up some medical skills after seeing it firsthand enough times.""You were a war correspondent?" I exclaimed.He gave a brief hum of acknowledgment before asking, "

Zachary had a complete breakdown. He marched up to me and grabbed my hand, demanding, "Tell me the truth! What's the deal between you and him?"I pushed him to the ground and roared back, "Zachary! Can't you tell that now's not the time for you to get into one of your crazy meltdowns? Get the hell away from me!"He froze. I had never once yelled at him like that. He was deeply hurt, but all he could do was stand aside and watch as I helped Connor onto a stretcher. The anxiety in my eyes cut him like a knife.Lying on the stretcher, Connor pulled my bloodstained hands off and commanded, "Go and save the others. Don't mind me."My eyes welled up with tears, but he used what little strength he had left to wipe them away, saying, "This is an order. Don't worry. I'll be fine."Nodding, I let go and said chokingly, "The next time we see each other, Connor, we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend."He hummed in response before closing his eyes and falling unconscious.Forcibly pushing aside
