All Chapters of You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Ms. Ford, we've verified that your marriage certificate is a forged copy. Forging marriage certificates is a federal offence. Please cooperate with our investigation.""Wait, there are still people forging marriage certificates in this era?""She must have got duped by a man, right? How pitiful…"Stephanie Ford stepped out of the courthouse in a daze. Around her, the staff members and the few couples were all shooting her weird looks.It was a hot and sunny day outside, but Stephanie only felt chills permeating her body. Yesterday, her boyfriend of five years, Tyler Grover, suddenly agreed to register for their marriage. Naturally, they had celebrated the occasion by engaging in bedroom activities in the middle of the night.But an abrupt phone call ruined the mood just as the couple's passion was reaching its peak. Weirdly enough, Tyler had stopped in his actions just to answer it."Stop it with your tantrum. The marriage certificate that I've obtained with Stephanie is fake. A

Stephanie wasn't sleepy at all in the middle of the night.She was starting to get thirsty, so she exited her bedroom for a glass of water. But when she walked past Tyler's bedroom, she found out that there was a gap in the door. A dim yellow light could be seen spilling from within the room.After overhearing the phone call last night, Stephanie had used her discomfort as an excuse to move to the guest bedroom for the time being.At that moment, faint sounds could be heard coming from Tyler's bedroom. They sounded awfully suggestive.Soon, Tyler's quiet, breathless words were punctuated by a pant. "Kiki, stop messing around. We're in my home right now.""What? Are you worried that she might find out about us?" Kiara's honeyed voice soon followed. "Ty, what are you afraid of? We're the ones who are legally married to each other.""Kiki!" Tyler's voice suddenly became stern. "What happened between us is a thing of the past.""Ty—""I wouldn't have married you if not for the fact

As Stephanie looked at the way Tyler spoke with such conviction, her rage suddenly cooled off.Didn't she already see through his true colors? What was there to feel disappointed about? Since he wanted to give the project to Kiara that badly, he could go ahead and do that.But who said anything about Kiara being able to stomach what she was fed?As he sensed Stephanie's sudden calmness, Tyler's expression softened considerably as well. He rose from his seat before approaching her, his hand soon grasping her icy one."Steph, as Kiara's brother and sister-in-law, it's normal for us to help our younger sister out. Don't you think so?"Stephanie drew her hand out of Tyler's grasp, her expression still glacial."Whatever you say."Tyler frowned slightly in return. Clearly, he was displeased by Stephanie's attitude. Then again, since she was no longer hung up on losing the project, he didn't chastise her anymore. "Kiki has just taken charge of this project, so there's a lot that she

Stephanie was momentarily stunned. She didn't expect Adrian to ask her such a question. Also, he seemed a little… unhappy at the moment.But why, though? Was it really because she insisted on returning to the team meeting despite being ill?She was very sure that she and Adrian weren't close enough for him to show such concern for her."Well, not really…"Honestly, Stephanie just wanted to drop by her colleagues' private room and tell them that she'd be going home for the night. But when she recalled the way those colleagues crowded around Kiara earlier, she felt that it was unnecessary for her to do so.She wasn't the main character of tonight's dinner anyway, so no one would care if she left early.Suddenly, someone knocked on the private room's door a few times in a row. A man, who was seemingly Adrian's assistant, stood at the doorway."Everyone's waiting for you, Mr. Hawke."It didn't matter what type of business Adrian was conducting at the table—he'd always be the main

Once Tyler was done speaking, he dipped his head in an attempt to kiss Stephanie.Disgust roiled in her stomach instantly. Every cell in Stephanie's body screamed at her to resist Tyler at all costs. She suppressed her urge to slap him as she tilted her head to avoid the kiss.But Tyler gripped her chin before twisting her head forcefully to face him."Stop messing around, Steph… I want you…""I'm sick right now!" Stephanie stated firmly.She was a gorgeous woman, to begin with. Her rage somehow added a different flavor to her beauty, making Tyler yearn for her even more.He chuckled hoarsely in return. "Oh, you're such a liar. You just took your medication. How are you still sick at this time?"His arms were wrapped tightly around Stephanie's frame, his face buried into the crook of her neck as he inhaled her scent greedily.Stephanie's mind buzzed loudly. She felt like she could hear the loud suggestive sounds of Tyler and Kiara's coupling from the night before.How disgusti
