All Chapters of You Chose Her, So Take Everything That Comes With Her: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Irina gasped for breath.Her chest felt painfully tight, while her throat and nostrils burned as though they were on fire.“She’s awake!” someone cried out, their voice filled with relief.What happened? Irina wondered, utterly bewildered.“Thank God,” another voice exclaimed, overlapping with the loud ringing in Irina’s head.“Miss, are you all right?” a paramedic asked, kneeling beside her.Irina’s memories came rushing back.Aaron and I were arguing in the car, and then we…“Aaron?!”Irina abruptly sat up.Only then did she realize that her entire body was soaking wet.Why is it suddenly daytime? she wondered, growing even more confused. And why are there so many people?She swept her gaze around, taking in the crowd gathered around her.“Where’s Aaron?” Irina asked in a panic.“Aaron?” the paramedic repeated, looking confused. “Was there anyone else who fell into the water?” he asked the other emergency responders nearby.“No. She was the only one,” another responder answered.Iri

“Aaron, don’t say things like that,” Lilian said as she reached for Aaron’s clenched fist and gently stroked it. Slowly, she coaxed his fingers open before reverently pressing a kiss to his palm.“You know how stubborn Irina is. What if she actually calls off your wedding?” she asked, her face filled with deliberately feigned guilt.Aaron scoffed. “She would never call off our wedding. She loves me too much. There’s no way she’d be willing to let me go.”“Yes, you’re right. She loves you very much, and she has power and influence too. That’s why your mother would rather have Irina as her daughter-in-law than me, a mere orphan,” Lilian replied, her voice trembling with feigned dejection.“Don’t say that, Lilly,” Aaron coaxed gently. “My mother just hasn’t realized yet that she threw away a diamond for a cheap imitation like Irina. Sooner or later, when she sees you in the Wellington main residence, she’ll realize that her precious daughter-in-law is nothing compared to you.”“Even so,

Lilian did not return home for two days, and Irina could easily guess where her cousin had been.In her previous life, Lilian had shamelessly whispered to her that she had spent a passionate night with Aaron, then mocked Irina because Aaron had never touched her.Both then and now, Irina was actually grateful that she had remained untouched.When Lilian finally returned, she walked over to Irina and sat down in front of her as though Irina had been waiting for her all along.Without hesitation, Lilian reached for the cup of coffee in front of Irina and took a sip without asking.“Sis, do you know where I’ve been these past two days?” she asked, a blatantly smug smile spreading across her face.“I don’t think I need to know,” Irina replied flatly. “Go see Daddy. He wants to speak with you privately.”She quickly cut off the sweet yet barbed words Lilian had undoubtedly been rehearsing throughout her journey home—the same words that had once been meant to hurt Irina, but now left no mar

“Wait! Priest, you said the wrong name!”The sharp click of leather shoes against the floor shattered the sacred silence surrounding the outdoor wedding altar. Aaron Wellington strode forward, breathing heavily, his face flushed with barely contained fury.With his free hand, he roughly grabbed the wrist of the elegantly dressed woman standing to his left, her face hidden beneath a bridal veil, and yanked her closer.“The woman standing beside me is Irina Crawford, not Lilian!” Aaron shouted, his voice ringing across the venue and immediately sparking a wave of hushed whispers among the guests.The reverend conducting the ceremony stopped mid-sentence, looking confused for a moment before glancing down at the documents in his hands.“I’m sorry, Mr. Aaron. According to the official civil registry documents and the agreement approved by both families…”“Then the documents are fake, or your administration is incompetent!” Aaron snapped furiously, refusing to listen.He lowered his head a
