Lahat ng Kabanata ng On My Wedding Invite, I'm Not the Bride: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I threw the wedding invitations that had Victoria Cademere's name printed on them into the trash before heading to my usual salon.The hairstylist hesitated as she held the scissors, repeatedly asking me if I was sure that I wanted to cut my hair short.It had taken me four years to grow my hair out until the tips reached my waist. I only did so because Travis Somerson had once promised to marry me when my hair reached my waist.My hair had finally reached my waist.Travis had also stuck to his word and was about to marry me.However, I didn't want to keep my long hair anymore.I was just about to nod and give the hairstylist the green light when my phone started ringing.Travis was video-calling me.His voice echoed from the receiver the moment the call connected. "Where are you?"I didn't answer him.Meanwhile, Travis could see the hairstylist standing behind me, as well as the pair of scissors she was holding. He frowned and asked, "You're cutting your hair?"I nodded.T

Unfortunately for Travis, I had no desire to open the wedding invitation."Aren't you going to take a look?" Travis asked in disbelief.I shook my head while wearing an indifferent expression.Earlier, right after I finished eating dinner, I noticed that Victoria had posted a new update on her social media account.She had posted a photo of the new wedding invitation. The groom's name was Travis Somerson. Meanwhile, she intentionally censored the bride's name. Only the last name "Somerson" was vaguely visible while the first name was blurred out.The caption read, "I love the new design. Do you?"I tried to usher Travis out of the restaurant. It was already past the restaurant's closing hours, and we were the only ones left in the building.However, Travis remained stubbornly rooted to the spot. He picked up the wedding invitation and offered it to me.I knew that he was waiting for me to coax him after I looked at it.I had no desire to look at the invitation, so I lifted my

Travis seemed surprised by my lack of enthusiasm. He took my hand and led me toward the jewelry sets, helping me try them on, one after the other.His eyes lit up when I tried on the fourth set of jewelry. "This set looks good on you! It totally matches your style."Brandon chuckled and said, "You sure are a big fan of ruby necklaces. You had the same awed look on your face when Victoria tried on a ruby necklace too."The air turned awkward the moment the words left his lips.I took the necklace off and carefully placed it back in the display case."I need to talk to you in private, Travis," I said before turning around and heading back to my room.Travis trailed after me as he rushed to explain himself. "Let me explain, Harper. Victoria mentioned wanting to buy some jewelry for herself and asked me to recommend a store to her. That's why I told her about Brandon's store."Coincidentally, I was also there when she decided to drop by. We just happened to run into each other becau

I checked myself into a hotel with a mountain view, deciding to look for a job after I had gotten some rest.I used to be a lawyer, but I quit my job after I got together with Travis. He told me that he didn't like that I was working, and that he could provide for me.I realized how much of a fool I had been as I sifted through my memories. I had loved him so much that I ended up losing myself in the process.I submitted my résumé to various law firms. It didn't take long for someone to get back to me.After I had an online interview, the other party expressed their admiration for me and extended an offer for me to join their firm next week.Before joining the law firm, I began searching for the parts of myself that I had lost while also enjoying the scenery of my surroundings.It felt amazing not having to worry about preparing Travis' meals and keeping a close eye on his health and condition. I also didn't have to consider his needs or deal with his moods anymore.I had no ide

Dad was being utterly unreasonable. I couldn't help myself and shouted, "My relationship with Travis is over, Dad! There's no way that I'll marry him!""That's not up to you," Dad retorted with a smug smile.I followed Dad's line of sight and turned around, coming face-to-face with Travis.I immediately understood what was going on. I glared at Travis and maintained my distance from him. I waved my phone and said, "I'm going to call the police if you try to pull the same stunt again, Travis."I had just tapped on a button when my phone was snatched away from me from behind.Dad switched off my phone before smiling at Travis and saying, "Feel free to stay here, Travis. I'll make sure that the doors are locked tightly. No one will be able to enter or leave the premises."I'll deliver three meals to the two of you every day. All you have to do is work hard to fulfill my and Harper's mother's wishes by giving me a grandchild as soon as possible!"Dad closed the door and locked it
