Todos los capítulos de Copy of My Friend and I Married Into the Castellar Family: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

At that moment, my best friend was lying in the hospital bed next to mine.She was still very weak, yet she forced herself to stand and came to sit beside me.Her eyes were red. She was crying quietly, trying to hold it in.I thought she was mourning her own child.I didn’t expect the first thing I heard from her to be an apology.“I’m sorry,” she said. “When I went out for a walk, I saw a suspicious woman. It was so late, and I didn’t dare to catch her. She disappeared so quickly. “If I had stopped her, you wouldn’t have…”She wrapped her arms around my shoulders carefully, but her sobs grew louder.My foolish friend.She was the one who saved me.I was about to comfort her when her phone suddenly rang.It was her husband, Ethan, who worked in the fire department.“You texted me saying you miscarried? And you even cursed my brother?” he snapped. “Are you out of your mind? The babies had Vicky’s protective spell. How could anything happen? I told you already, Vicky is a friend. A fri

Later, my friend and I were confined to bed for a full two weeks before we could barely walk again.During that time, we asked a nurse to go back to the house and bring us some clothes.The nurse told us it was a woman, pale to an unsettling degree, who handed over the luggage she had packed.Lucien and Ethan never called again in those two weeks.I checked their social media.They had already gone to several resort lodges, traveling and sightseeing with Vicky.In the photos, the three of them were smiling brightly.The smiles were painful to look at.Lucien and Ethan had always claimed they were too busy with work.They had refused to spend even their annual leave with us.Above the photos, I saw the caption.“Family forever.”If I had seen this while trapped in the fire, I might have cried.I might have completely broken down.But now, I felt nothing at all.I calmly contacted them through the lawyer and asked them to come the next day to discuss the divorce.After being discharged f

Her shoulders began to tremble visibly.When Lucien pushed her hand away, her fangs slipped out before she even realized it.I didn’t want to waste any more time.I told them to sign the divorce papers.Lucien suddenly grabbed my wrist.He couldn’t get a full sentence out. His voice broke, uneven and rushed.Ethan finally understood what his brother was trying to say and stepped in.“I need to look into the arson case. I’ve got work to do,” he said.“The person who report the case is in a hurry. We’ll set another time to talk.”He glanced at Claire behind me, clearly trying to soften his tone, but authority came too naturally to him.The brothers exchanged a look.In the end, they chose not to suspect Vicky.She had merely assumed that the person passing the cabin was a woman, and they told themselves they couldn’t accuse her without solid proof.To them, the fire was still just an accident.No matter how many doubts were laid out in front of them,they would always choose to trust Vick

Ethan had never seen me explode like that before.He froze on the spot, stunned and unable to react.In his mind, I had always been gentle and quiet.Someone easygoing, especially when Lucien was around.Neither Ethan nor Lucien had ever known the real me.Before this, I had been blinded by love, always trying to please Lucien, shrinking myself to fit what he wanted.Looking back now, I realized I had slowly been molded into a substitute for Vicky without even noticing.It took three wasted years and the loss of my child for me to finally wake up.They had never compromised in love.They trampled over truth and our dignity, taking everything while giving nothing back.Of course, they assumed we would keep giving in.So they thought none of this was worth a divorce.After I finished yelling, I hung up the phone.Claire had come out of the bedroom and was leaning against the doorframe.“This is who you really are, Caroline,” she said.When the sun finally rose and its warmth spread acros

When he heard the testimony, his entire body began to tremble.Ethan’s already pale face went ashen, his lips pressed tight and dry.He tried to call Lucien, but his hands were shaking so badly that he dialed the wrong number several times.When the call finally connected, he told Lucien to bring Vicky to the police station immediately.Lucien had no idea what had just happened. Confusion filled his voice.“Why the police station? Vicky said she wants to travel abroad. I’m on the way to the airport with her right now. Whatever it is can wait until she get back.”Claire and I sat across from Ethan, watching despair wash over his face as he closed his eyes.“Don’t ask questions,” Ethan said hoarsely.“Is Vicky next to you right now? Then don’t talk to her. Bring her here. Now. Immediately.”Forty minutes later, Lucien walked into the police station, still completely unaware of the situation, dragging a violently struggling Vicky behind him.The moment she stepped inside, one of Lucien’s
