All Chapters of My Girlfriend Cheated, so I'm Getting Married: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I ended the call as soon as I agreed to the arranged marriage Dad had set up for me and stared blankly at my phone. It had been seven hours since I sent the message, yet Clara Cooper, my girlfriend, still hadn't responded. In the past, even when she was mad at me and refused to speak to me, she had never gone more than three hours without responding to my messages.I wouldn't have thought much of it if Clara had simply become more distant with me, but I happened to pick up Clara's phone yesterday and noticed that her chat with Thomas Zimmerman, her assistant, was pinned to the top. She replied to him so quickly that there was barely any time gap between his messages and her responses. She was clearly responding to him the second he sent the message.Just as I thought about this, I instinctively scrolled through the messages Thomas had sent to provoke me earlier, with one of them being a message Clara had sent him. "Those nine years I spent with Hunter were nine years he stole f

I couldn't help but sneer at Clara's absurd excuse. Who in the world would hold a meeting at a breakfast stand? It was a little after 8:00 am when Thomas posted on his social media. "Someone who buys you a ring might not love you, but someone who wakes up at 6:00 am to get you breakfast definitely does!"It turned out that Thomas had gotten both the ring and the breakfast. I could only wish both of them well from that point onward.I got up and started packing my things. It wasn't long before I packed everything into a single suitcase. I didn't have many belongings to begin with, and I had thrown away everything that needed to be discarded earlier. There was no trace of me left in the house.…Clara actually returned home at 6:00 pm. That was one of the few times she had followed through on what she said, but by then, I had only 12 hours left before I boarded my flight home.She came in with a box in her hand, slightly out of breath. She handed me the box and said, "I'm sorr

"I'm naturally getting married to my fiancee," I replied. I smiled faintly as I showed her my chat history with Dad. "I've already agreed to return to my hometown for the arranged marriage, so we're officially done, Clara."I didn't want to waste another second. Clara was still trying to stop me, so I quickly came up with an idea. I pointed behind her and yelled, "Thomas!" Clara turned around, just as I had expected.I immediately broke free from her and ran through the security checkpoint."You lied to me! You're such a big, fat liar, Hunter!"I couldn't make out Clara's expression from that distance. I could only hear her yelling and calling me a liar. I had deceived her, but she had been the bigger liar all along. She had spent nine years deceiving me. I had given my everything to her for the past nine years, yet it still wasn't enough to earn even a moment of her attention. If she had no intention of marrying me, then so be it. I would marry someone else instead.I boarded

It occurred to me that this might be the kind of love I had spent my whole life searching for.Then, the priest turned to me and asked me the same thing.I was just about to say "I do" when someone pushed the church doors open and yelled, "Hunter!"Clara was drenched in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water. "You can't marry her, Hunter!"She screamed as she ran toward me, only to be taken away by the Gunther family's bodyguards. She sounded so desperate, making it seem as though she was the innocent main character in a romance novel who had just been dumped, while Tiana and I were the mistress and scumbag.I paid no attention to the interruption. I placed my hand on the Scripture and looked at the priest and Tiana. "I do."In that instant, the guests broke into thunderous applause. I had officially married Tiana, becoming a part of the Gunther family as their son-in-law.In the middle of the guests' congratulations, another commotion broke out outside the churc

I posted a photo on Instagram once I arrived at Salvoland, and Thomas liked it. I had never blocked him on my social media or WhatsApp, even after the whole incident.He actually messaged me out of the blue. "Clara's been sentenced."I didn't realize things had gotten to the point where she could be sent to prison. I thought she had simply lost her company and gone bankrupt.Thomas explained, "She became convinced that everyone had wronged her and started taking it out on society once she went bankrupt. "She would try to break up any couple she saw being affectionate. She eventually picked a fight with a couple who were medical and law students. They suffered minor injuries, while she was seriously injured. She even got convicted of intentional assault."It turned out that was what happened.Thomas returned to his hometown and got himself a stable job. He remained single and didn't pursue another relationship. He said he wanted to build a life on his own, work hard, earn an hone
