Semua Bab Married in My Name: Bab 1 - Bab 9

[My wedding's tomorrow. Everyone has to come. No need to bring any gifts. I just want it to be lively.]When I saw Hannah Castillo's message in the company group chat, my heart jolted.I never expected to be reborn to the exact day before Hannah used my identity to marry into a powerful family.[So the rumor is true! Castillo Enterprises and Mason Group really are joining forces!][Wow, we actually get to witness a wedding of a century. Ms. Castillo and Mr. Mason must be a perfect match!]Congratulations flooded the chat.Maybe realizing I had just joined the group yesterday, Hannah quickly added another message.[It's not some business alliance. I'm just marrying my childhood sweetheart.]That only made the chat explode even more.[Aww, that's adorable. Rich people's love stories really are sweeter than ours!]My palm was slick with sweat as I gripped my phone.I was about to ask her directly who she was marrying tomorrow. That was when someone knocked on my door.Hannah w

The officer frowned deeply. "If you don't want to marry him anymore, can't you just talk it out and call off the engagement?""The wedding's tomorrow," I continued calmly. "I've already spent all the money they gave me. And I don't want to get married.""How much did you spend?" the officer asked. "You can negotiate and return it.""Fifteen million."The room went quiet.At that point, it wasn't just a generous wedding gift. It was an outrageous one.The officer insisted that I contact the groom's family directly.I had heard long ago that my intended husband wasn't exactly known for his patience.With shaking hands, I took the phone the officer handed me. To my surprise, the man on the other end didn't sound angry at all.That made sense. This was a business arrangement. We hadn't even met. Besides, the wedding hadn't been publicly announced, so the impact on Mason Group would be minimal."You're certain you don't want to marry me?" the man asked evenly.I answered quietl

That was when everyone noticed the police officers standing behind Wayne.One of them spoke up. "Which Ms. Castillo is getting married today?"Before Hannah could answer, the people around her had already pushed her forward. She was still wearing her wedding gown.Hannah forced a small nod. "I am."The next second, the officer pulled out a pair of handcuffs."You're suspected of marriage fraud involving a 15-million-dollar wedding gift. You failed to return the funds on time. You'll need to come with us."Hannah froze. "Marriage fraud? Officer, I'm already here at the ceremony!"The officer frowned slightly. "Yesterday, you came to the station and turned yourself in. You said you didn't want to marry Mr. Mason anymore, and the Masons already agreed to call it off."Hannah stared at him in shock, then rushed to deny it. "No, I never went to the police. I never confessed to anything! Someone's trying to sabotage the marriage between Castillo Enterprises and Mason Group. Officer

I thought Hannah was just being smug and clever. I never expected Wayne to smile and accept it."Fine," he said lightly. "I'll take her."I blurted out immediately, "I'm a person. You can't do this. It's illegal!"Wayne didn't bother listening. After pulling me aside, he handed me a wet wipe, clicked his tongue in faint disgust, and said, "I really thought you were smarter than this."Hannah heard him, too. She lifted her chin proudly. "Exactly! This idiot actually thought she could ruin the alliance between our families. Now that everything's cleared up, Mr. Mason, we can proceed with the wedding, right?"Wayne looked genuinely surprised. "What wedding? Who said I'm marrying you?"Hannah froze. "Didn't you say once this was handled…""I said once this was handled, you wouldn't go to jail," Wayne replied coldly. "I never said I'd marry you.""Hannah, what's going on? You have to marry into the Masons!" a servant said anxiously from the side.Hannah panicked and pointed at Wa

A week after Hannah was beaten into the hospital, she and Jenny were thrown out when they couldn't pay the medical bills.The two had barely made it out the door when several burly men blocked their way.They didn't bother with explanations and demanded repayment on the spot.Hannah gave up completely. "I don't have any money. Go ahead and kill me if you want.""Death would be too easy on you," one of them sneered.The debt collectors dragged Hannah and Jenny away and sold them into forced labor. From then on, the two of them were made to earn money every single day.Not long after, Jenny couldn't take the abuse anymore. She didn't make it.When I heard the news, Nelson had just come to talk to me about my marriage.Although the household staff had all been replaced, the broken engagement with Mason Group was still unresolved."Daphne," Nelson said gently, "I won't pressure you. This is your choice."I asked him, "Did you return the money to the Masons?"Nelson nodded, then
