Todos los capítulos de Everyone but Me Knew She'd Marry Him: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

I caught a cab straight to the location tagged in the photo.When I opened the doors, the bride and groom were right in the middle of exchanging rings.While everyone was cheering and celebrating, my arrival hit like a bomb, leaving the crowd gasping.Justin Peck was the first to snap out of it. He jogged over, patted me on the shoulder, and spoke in a low voice. "Hey, don't make a scene! Not now!"Then he turned to the couple on stage. "Sorry about this! He's a buddy of mine. He's a little slow and simply got carried away!"He tried dragging me out, but I shook his hand off hard.My eyes were locked on Laura Hartman. I was just about to say something when my sister, Amber Walker, suddenly grabbed me. "Nathan, are you here for me?"She and Justin flanked me, practically dragging me away. Justin dug his nails into my arm so hard that I gasped, forcing me to swallow back what I was about to say.My phone buzzed. It was a message from Laura's best friend."Nathan, calm down for n

As the hospital room went dead silent, I found myself regretting what I'd done. After all, Kelvin hadn't done anything wrong. He'd been kept in the dark too.But what was said was said. I couldn't take it back now.I looked down at my hands. They were still shaking, and it felt like I had a weight on my chest, suffocating me.My phone buzzed. An email popped up."Congratulations, Nathan. Your application for a spot in the Hefalia-to-Adaville training program has been approved. We wish you all the best."I stared at the screen, my eyes stinging. I'd worked like a horse for this opportunity.I got up before dawn and worked late into the night every day, pushing myself until I was barely functioning. But just thinking about how I'd finally be in the same city as Laura and how we wouldn't have to be in a long-distance relationship anymore had made me incredibly happy.I'd even thought about what I'd do the day I got the offer.I was going to buy an engagement ring, rush to her of

"Nathan!"Laura rushed over to hold me tightly, her voice shaking. "Have you lost your mind? What do you think you're doing?"Amber freaked out as well and quickly called an ambulance.When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital bed with thick bandages wrapped around my chest.What a shame—I survived. Laura was sitting beside my bed, holding my hand. She had dark circles under her eyes.I pulled my hand away and rolled over, turning my back to her.She sounded exhausted as she explained, "I know everything now. Kelvin was wrong for that. He's childish and likes to mess around, and the post simply pushed him over the edge."I've already chewed him out. And I'm sorry about your grandma… I just didn't expect her condition to suddenly get that bad. If I had known—""Laura," I cut her off. My voice was quiet, but crystal clear. "You should go. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. We're done."She froze in shock.Laura had probably braced herself for me

Kelvin waited in the room for a long time, only to realize that Laura wasn't going to come upstairs to coax him.He stayed wide awake until dawn. It wasn't until the housekeeper knocked and asked him to come down for breakfast that he realized Laura had already left.He had all this pent-up anger with no way to release it, so he called Amber and Justin. Ten minutes later, the two of them showed up in front of him."Didn't you say you'd help me get rid of Nathan for good so that Laura would only have eyes for me? So why is Laura unwilling to come to me now that he's gone?"Justin replied coolly, "Kelvin, we could only help you get him out of the picture. Anything beyond that isn't in our wheelhouse. How is it our fault that you can't keep her?""What did you just say?"Kelvin lost it, slapping Justin hard across the face. "You didn't say that when you were taking my money!"And you, Amber. Who bailed you out of that financial hole last month? If Laura found out you made a mistake

For the next month, Laura was like a weed I just couldn't get rid of, showing up every day to pester me.And every time, security would send her packing. By the fourth month, Amber showed up. She was still the same as ever, crying the second things got tough.When the company found out that she'd been cooking the books, HR wanted to fire her.Since Laura had already washed her hands of Amber, Amber decided to kneel outside my company. She wanted to stay there no matter how hard the sun beat down on her or how heavily it rained, hoping I'd eventually cave and ask Laura to help her.This sister of mine was spoiled rotten by my grandma and me. She'd never been through any real hardships, and she was far too easily manipulated. But this time, she needed to learn her lesson the hard way.I ignored her. She only lasted 15 minutes before she couldn't take it anymore, pulling out a knife and threatening to hurt herself to force me out.I didn't even show my face and just called the
