The Wedding of a Lifetime のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Lewis seemed satisfied with my answer. His expression relaxed as he stood up and casually ruffled my hair.“Eve, you’ve become much more sensible now. After we get married, we’ll live a wonderful life together.”I nodded without arguing, because I knew there would be no “after we get married.”As Lewis prepared to leave, his gaze swept across my room.“Why does it feel like there’s less stuff here?”The photo frame that used to sit on the cabinet was gone. The pictures on the wall had been taken down. Even the music box he once gave me at the bedside had disappeared. The entire room looked emptier.I looked down and told a small lie. “I packed them away. There was too much clutter in the room, and it looked messy.”I thought the excuse sounded half-hearted, but Lewis nodded.“It does look cleaner like this.”Over the past month, I had quietly packed away everything I could—clothes, jewelry, documents, and all the memories I had shared with Lewis over the years. Bit by bit, I p

On the day of the wedding, the entire estate was lit up in dazzling brilliance. Guests arrived one after another. Social elites from across Europa, powerful financiers, and representatives from major mafia families all gathered under one roof.Standing before the extravagant scene, Lewis gave a rare smile. After the wedding, he would move into the master suite of the estate with me, and we would finally become a family. With that, all the past arguments and misunderstandings would slowly fade away.Just then, Quinn walked toward Lewis with a smile. She was wearing an ornate wedding dress, the one Lewis had spent a fortune having custom-made in France. It was a one-of-a-kind piece, originally meant as compensation for me.“Why are you wearing that?” Lewis’s voice turned icy in an instant.Quinn flinched. “Lewis… I just wanted to test it out on behalf of Eve. The dress only arrived yesterday. I was worried it might not fit properly, and since I helped design parts of the wedding, I j

For the next half month, all of Napels was thrown into an endless search. No one knew where I had gone. Each time Lewis’s men returned empty-handed, the fear in him only grew stronger. Yet, he refused to give up. Stubbornly, he ordered every one of his men to keep searching. Even when hope had thinned to almost nothing, he refused to accept the reality that I had truly disappeared.Night after night, he could not sleep, and he looked a lot more worn out. Then, one night, he finally drifted into a shallow sleep, and for once, he dreamed peacefully. In the dream, he saw a familiar seaside night scene, with fireworks bursting across the sky in brilliant colors, while I stood there in a clean white dress, smiling as I ran toward him along the shore.In that moment, all his anxiety and frustrations vanished. Instinctively, Lewis reached out, desperate to pull me into his arms, but just as his fingers were about to touch mine, everything shattered. The fireworks vanished, and my figure d

Quinn left, barely able to stand. Her legs felt weak, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably. She had always relied on her fragile, innocent act to keep Lewis wrapped around her finger. He had indulged her, protected her, and even favored her. However, she had never once seen that ice-cold look in his eyes before. There was no warmth or the usual tenderness he once showed her, but pure, unmistakable disgust.At that moment, the last sliver of hope in Quinn’s heart shattered. She understood, with painful clarity, that she no longer held any place in Lewis’s world.Stumbling back into her room, the jealousy and resentment she had been suppressing finally exploded. With red eyes, she began smashing everything within reach. The sharp sound of destruction echoed through the room nonstop.“Why?” Quinn gasped for breath, her eyes bloodshot as she screamed hysterically, “Why is it that even after Eve left him, he still chooses her?”She couldn’t accept being discarded right when she
