All Chapters of My Sister's Fiance Became My Husband- But She Wants Him Back: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Emma POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck.My whole body ached, my arms, my legs, even my neck. Everything hurts. For a second, I just lay there with my eyes closed, trying to remember how I'd ended up feeling this broken. Then it all came rushing back. Last night, I was with Dylan. The way he'd looked at me with so much hate.Before I could even fully process it all or figure out what time it was, something landed on the bed with a dull thump right next to my head.I flinched. My eyes flew open.A small box sat there on the white sheets. I stared at it, confused and still half-asleep."Take it."Taoice, it was cold and commanding. I knew it instantly.My head jerked up so fast my neck cracked. Dylan was standing at the foot of the bed, and he looked... completely different from last night. His suit was perfectly tailored and crisp, not a wrinkle anywhere. His hair was styled just right. He looked like he'd stepped out of a magazine, all polished and pu

Emma POV I couldn't connect the woman I was hearing with Sophie. My Sophie. It didn't make sense.Ever since the Bennetts took me in and I met her, I'd always thought she was this sweet, generous person. Elegant and kind. Gentle in every way. But now..."I'm so angry I could scream!" Sophie's voice rose, sharp and bitter. "I spent so much time planning everything perfectly. I even got Dylan to drink that spiked drink. I had reporters ready to come photograph everything first thing in the morning so there'd be proof that I'd spent the night with him. That way Mr. Carter would have to let me marry Dylan. But I screwed up the stupid room number! I ended up sleeping with some disgusting random guy instead, and Emma, that pathetic little tramp, accidentally got everything I worked for!"So that was the truth. That was the real face of the "good sister" who'd been crying and begging everyone to show me mercy just minutes ago.My heart was racing so fast I felt dizzy. I wanted to laugh and

Emma POVA strong hand caught my arms, steadying me before I could fall."Careful there."I looked up, and my heart stopped.It was Dylan's younger brother, Marcus Carter. I'd only met him once, briefly, at the wedding. He'd been away on business ever since, somewhere overseas. I didn't even know he was back in Riverside."I'm sorry," I mumbled, trying to step back. But his hands didn't let go right away.His eyes scanned my face, and I watched his expression change from polite concern to something harder. His jaw tightened."What happened to your face?"I'd almost forgotten. The swelling, the split lip, the bruises that were probably turning purple by now. I must have looked awful."Nothing. I just fell," I said quickly, finally pulling away from his grip."You fell." His tone made it clear he didn't believe me for a second. "And gave yourself a black eye and a busted lip?""It was clumsy of me," I insisted, trying to move past him.But he shifted, blocking my path. "Does Dylan know

Emma POV"Nothing," I said quickly. Too quickly. "Nothing's wrong with me."Dylan's eyes narrowed. He was studying me now, really looking at me in a way he hadn't since that first morning we woke up together. I could see his mind working, putting pieces together."You've been doing that all day, haven't you? Every time I've seen you, your hand goes to your stomach." He took a step closer. "Are you sick? Did someone hit you there?"The concern in his voice caught me off guard. Not a concern for me, I realized. Concern that someone might have damaged his property, might have caused him legal problems, or bad publicity."I'm fine," I said for what felt like the hundredth time today. "I just got knocked around a bit. It's nothing serious.""Who hit you?" The question came out sharp and demanding. "Was it at the hospital? Did the Bennetts do this to you?"I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. Because if I told him the truth, he'd probably say I deserved it. That I'd brought it on myself by ups
