บททั้งหมดของ I Chose Another Groom and Broke My Ex: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"How about this? If Asher loses the bet, we can have Violet sing for us. I heard she's studying music..."Before he could finish, Asher kicked him to the ground. His face turned terrifyingly dark."What the hell do you think Violet is? She's a serious music student! Not some bar chick!"Everyone in their circle knew that Violet Shaw was the person Asher cared about most. Her reputation mattered more to him than his own life. If anyone said a single bad word about Violet, they'd end up broken and bleeding the next day.The guy who'd just made the joke immediately dropped to his knees to apologize. "I'm sorry, Asher!"I'm an idiot, I'm sick in the head. You're the bigger man here, so just ignore me!"Watching this, I felt like my heart was being ripped apart. I didn't even realize I was crying until the tears soaked my collar.Asher had long forgotten the promises he had once made to me."Little girl, from now on, you'll stay with me. I'll protect you. No one will dare to hurt yo

"Isn't that the Star of Radiance from the auction?"Asher attended auctions constantly, so naturally, he recognized the name. He came up close, grabbed my hand, and stared at the diamond ring.After a long moment, he looked up and demanded, "Where did you get this? This thing is worth over a hundred million dollars."I froze. I hadn't realized the ring was that expensive. Derek Powell had given it to me when we got engaged.Seeing me lost in thought, Asher mocked, "You didn't steal it, did you? Even if you sold every organ in your body, you probably couldn't scrape together a fraction of what this costs."Just as I was about to speak, my phone rang. I pushed through the crowd and ran to a quiet spot to answer."Okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me."When I hung up and turned around, Asher was standing right behind me. He was holding a cigarette, and his expression was unreadable."Oh, don't tell me that was your so-called husband calling?"I nodded seriously. "Yes, it's time

"Besides, if that guy's really so impressive, why would he be interested in Claire Sutton?"Asher nodded in agreement. "Exactly. She's definitely lying to me. After all these years, has she ever run out of tricks?"He looked less irritated. He pulled out his phone and instructed, "I ordered some flowers for Violet. Go pick them up later."This had been Asher's habit for years. Every three days, he'd buy several bouquets and have them delivered to Violet's house.I remembered the day he suddenly brought Violet home to our place. He said she'd fought with her parents and would be staying with us for a few days.The next morning, when I woke up, I found the living room filled with flowers. I was severely allergic to pollen.Within moments, I could barely breathe, and tiny, itchy, red bumps covered my entire body. I rushed back to my bedroom to take my allergy medication.When Violet saw what happened, she put on a show of concern. "Claire, I really didn't know you were allergic to

The boat docked right beside the island. As we stepped off, the first thing I saw was posters. They were everywhere.They clearly read, "Welcome to the wedding of Claire Sutton and Derek Powell."The ground was covered with a red carpet, lined with handmade silk flowers that would never wilt. I wondered how long Derek had spent making them.I deliberately turned to look at Asher. His face was dark.I followed Derek upstairs to get my makeup done and change into my wedding dress. While doing my makeup, the makeup artist chatted with me."You know, your husband flew all the way overseas just to get me to do your makeup. I was on vacation, but he threw enough money at me to make me come."Men who think this much about their wives are rare."My face grew warm for some reason. I'd told him any makeup artist would be fine, but he'd hired the celebrity makeup artist I'd admired for years.So this was what real love looked like. You wanted to give them the very best of everything.Aft

However, this time, no matter how long Violet waited, Asher showed no intention of responding. Her face darkened as she spoke again."Asher, let's go. My stomach doesn't feel well. Let's go home."In the next second, Asher shoved her to the ground and roared, "If you're not feeling well, go find a doctor! Why are you coming to me? Am I a doctor?"Violet was startled by his outburst. Tears streamed down her face. "Asher, what's wrong with you?"Asher turned around, and his face was twisted with rage. "I'm telling you right now to get out of my sight! I never want to see you again!"Violet's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me?"Asher laughed bitterly. "Breaking up? Were we even together? And you're talking about breaking up?"Only now did Violet realize she'd been dumped too. She stood up and grabbed his collar tightly."How dare you use me like this? After everything we did, you're saying this to me now? Are you even a man?"Asher rubbed h
