The Don Went Crazy After Killing My Mother at My Wedding のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

"What's wrong, Vivian?"Lucian's voice came through the bathroom door.I grabbed the phone off the tile and kept my voice flat. "Nothing. A vase tipped over."I pressed in the lock code, my birthday, and my eyes stayed nailed to the screen."Don, if our families weren't sworn enemies, you're the one I'd want to marry.""But don't worry, I don't love Julian. The second I get what's mine, I'm coming to you.""Even if you have to hide me away, even if I'm only ever the other woman, I don't care. And if you don't want my son…"By the timestamps, Lucian hadn't made her wait a single second for the reply."I'll take care of your son to the end, and I will never let you be the other woman.""As for Vivian, I've already had her dosed. The doctor says she'll never be able to have children.""When the time comes, that's the reason we'll use to push her out of the family.""Once you've taken what belongs to you and you're free of the Sloanes, I'll clear the way for you and bring you into the Grav

It should have been a minor thing, but the Ashfords sank their teeth in and wouldn't let go.I didn't have to guess who was stirring it up from behind. Camilla wanted me humiliated.So the whole circle heard about it, until it grew bad enough to force a meeting of the family heads.In the meeting room, every face that turned to me was cold.I knew they'd never liked me to begin with.After the circus at my wedding, my name had been mud out there.Now that something like this had happened, they had all the more reason to come after me.Someone gave a cold laugh."She really is that man's daughter. She can blow a nothing incident up until the whole world knows, clearly just to put the Graves family on the spot."Then he turned to me, his voice dripping with mockery."Take your revenge if you must, Donna, but could you not pick somewhere with no witnesses?""Going after a child in front of everyone is beyond reckless."The room went still for a beat."Let's focus on a fix. This has blown

(Third person’s POV)Lucian backed up several steps."It can't be."He looked at the blood on the floor, his voice forced out of his throat."It can't be."The next second he wheeled around and grabbed a maid by the collar."Tell me what happened!"The maid had gone bloodless, half choking in his grip."D-Don.""After we called you, we all thought the Donna had just lost control. We never thought she'd suddenly grab the glass off the floor."Here her voice dropped smaller and smaller."By the time we understood, the glass had pierced deep into her flesh..."Lucian's hand loosened on her collar, finger by finger.He stood there for a few seconds, then yanked out his phone and called the guard back.When the screen lit, his fingers were shaking so hard he nearly hit the wrong number.The moment the call connected, he spoke."Which hospital is Vivian in. Tell me!"The man on the other end rushed out the address.The next second Lucian turned and bolted downstairs, the staff scrambling out

(Third person’s POV)Lucian's gaze finally locked in place.On the screen, Camilla's face was soaked with tears, her voice trembling, but every word came out perfectly clear."His father nearly destroyed my whole family. How could I ever be with him?""It was all his obsession. He's the one who wouldn't leave me alone.""That business with Vivian's mother, he planned all of it. It had nothing to do with me."Sitting at the head of the table, Lucian slowly lost the color in his face.But on the screen, Camilla was still crying.She shuffled forward on her knees and grabbed at the hem of Julian's trousers, her voice utterly abject."Julian, you're the only one I love.""Truly the only one.""We have a child together, don't we?""You have to believe me."Lucian could barely keep his seat.No. It couldn't be.She was only saying these things because they'd forced her to…The deputy seemed to read his mind, and gave a sudden cold laugh."Does the Don think the Ashfords forced these words ou

(Third person’s POV)Lucian escaped during his hospital stay, and the Graves family poured enormous effort into hunting him down.After all, he held too much of their internal intelligence.When the news reached her, Vivian was sitting in the garden, soaking up the sun.Dr. Reed came over and handed her a glass of lemon ice water.His gaze moved over the savage scar on Vivian's wrist."Any regrets? He got away in the end."Vivian shook her head and said, "No.""A man that proud already died, the moment they took him, the moment they rushed him in to be saved.""Besides." Vivian paused. "Having escaped, it looks like he stepped into another hell."Dr. Reed sighed and steered away from the subject."Vivian, I don't understand why you won't have that scar on your hand treated."As he said it, his expression dimmed, as if he were back at the moment they carried Vivian into the emergency room.He'd had every part of the staged death planned out, and yet in that instant, he'd frozen solid.W
