All Chapters of Dumped at the Altar While She Ran to Her "Savior": Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Henry's POVIt wasn't the first time I was left alone. After seeing every last guest out, I made a phone call."Does the deal we made ten years ago still stand?" I asked.A soft laugh came from the other end. "Yes."I hung up.The news about Rachel Trent going on a rampage for the man she loved had already shot to the top of the trending searches.She had ignored the auction rules, barged into the private room, paid 20 million dollars to take Clarence Spears away, and then proceeded to give every woman who had participated in the bidding a piece of her mind.The comments section beneath the news articles was filled with people clamoring for gossip.Every now and then, someone would point out that Rachel already had a fiance.Those comments were quickly buried under replies like, "The unloved one is the real third wheel."Clarence's latest post on social media appeared soon after.It was captioned: "After three years of waiting, I finally got what I wanted today."The photo

Henry's POVThe moment my body hit the ground, the tension I'd been carrying finally began to ease.Just when I thought Rachel's torment was finally over, she suddenly appeared in front of me again, angrier than ever.Before I could say a word, she pulled out a small knife and drove it into my arm. Blood immediately began pouring from the wound.However, that was not enough for her. She grabbed me by the collar and slapped me hard across the face twice."It was you! You were the one who called my parents and told them I died in the earthquake!"You caused their accident on their way there! They both died because of you!"My parents treated you like family. How could you do something like that? You're a monster!"She didn't give me a chance to respond and dragged me into a car.She drove at top speed the entire way. I was so sick that I kept retching.The destination was her parents' graves.I was forced to kneel in front of their headstones while the bodyguards pressed my he

Third-Person POVMeanwhile, after Rachel had ordered her people to immediately take down every video and photo of Henry from the Internet, she started calling him over and over.She wanted to explain that she wasn't the one who leaked the videos.Unfortunately, Henry never answered his phone.She could not stop thinking about the hollow, lifeless look in his eyes, and an uneasy feeling began to creep over her.She paced back and forth across the room, dialing his number again and again."Henry Murray, pick up! If you just answer the phone, I'll let everything that's happened slide!"But all she heard was the automated message telling her that the line was unavailable.Unwilling to give up, she texted him."Henry, what are you trying to pull? I didn't post those videos, and I've already taken down all the news about you. What more do you want?"No matter how many messages she sent, it was like screaming into the void. There was no response.Just then, Clarence opened the door

Third-Person POVRachel's emotions settled down a little. She frowned and asked, "What is it?""It's about Mr. Spears. After looking into it, we discovered that the video about him that was posted online was actually uploaded from his own phone."Rachel instinctively denied it. "That can't be. Clarence is a good person. He'd never do something like that. Besides, what would he even gain from…"She stopped mid-sentence.She knew better than anyone what Clarence had to gain. It was to frame Henry and drive a wedge between them.Anger surged through her.But then, she remembered how Clarence had risked his life to pull her out of the rubble during the earthquake years ago. No matter how furious she was, she couldn't bring herself to get mad at him.After a heavy sigh, she instructed the bodyguard to continue searching for Henry.But the bodyguard wasn't done."Ms. Trent, that's not all we found. At the hospital, it was Mr. Spears who fell down the stairs himself. Mr. Murray neve

Henry's POVWhile Rachel was tearing the world apart trying to find me, I'd already been in Fancer for a month.The person who pulled me out of the water that day was my childhood friend, Emily Chase.She had stayed by my side ever since.When she dragged me out of the ocean, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was unmistakable fear in her voice."Henry Murray, how could you be so stupid? Why would you throw your life away for someone who never deserved you?"Did you forget? I've always been right there behind you. All you had to do was turn around, and you'd see me."Emily brought me back to Fancer with her.Once she saw that I was gradually recovering, she handed me a thick folder.Inside was a list of all the assets she owned.She looked me straight in the eye and said, "I swear that in these ten years, I've never been with another man. Not once."Henry, you know that I've loved you since we were kids. I've never forgotten you, and I never forgot the promise we made ten ye
