All Chapters of He Left His Pregnant Bride at the Altar: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The wedding was supposed to begin at ten that morning.By ten forty, the groom’s place beside the altar was still empty, and my brother had not returned either.The church was filled with guests from every major family in Chicago.The Moretti and Russo family crests hung above the altar, symbolizing the alliance this marriage was meant to seal.Now, every person in the church was waiting for Dante.Grace, the wedding planner, approached me for the third time.“Miss Moretti, would you like to keep waiting?”I did not answer. I simply lowered my eyes to the family group chat on my phone.Forty minutes earlier, Bianca had posted a photo.Her white sports car was stopped at the side of the road, one of its doors badly dented.[A black SUV hit my car and fled the scene.][I’m not sure whether the Falcone family was behind it.]Dante had pulled half the security detail away from the church, and Julian had followed him with a medical kit.Before leaving, Dante had taken my hand.“Stay here. I

The next morning, I went to the hospital alone.While I waited for my appointment, two women nearby recognized me.“Isn’t that Dante Russo’s fiancée?”“It must just be someone who looks like her. Do you really think Dante would let his fiancée come to a prenatal appointment alone?”I lowered my head and pretended not to hear them.I had once believed he loved me that much too.That changed five years ago, when Bianca took a bullet for him during an ambush.After that, every cough and every nightmare she had became more urgent than anything involving me. I became the one expected to understand and keep giving way.The examination confirmed that I was eight weeks pregnant and that the baby’s heartbeat was steady.The doctor reviewed the precautions I needed to take on a long-haul flight and reminded me to schedule a follow-up appointment after I arrived in London.When I left the hospital, I returned to the university to collect the original copies of my research papers and the data requ

Dante closed the pregnancy report and immediately turned to Caleb.“Get the jet ready.”“I’m going to London.”Bianca’s expression shifted.“Dante, Elena is pregnant. Chasing after her now will only put more stress on her.”Dante ignored her and placed the ultrasound image back inside the gift box.Julian looked at the date on the medical report.Elena had just left her prenatal appointment yesterday morning when they cornered her outside the university. They had assumed that selling her apartment, turning off her phone, and packing her belongings were all tactics meant to force them to give in.His expression suddenly turned cold.“Pull the security footage from the stairwell.”Bianca’s fingers tightened.“Julian, you don’t believe me?”“If Elena pushed you, the cameras will show it.”“There was no one else there. Elena is already gone. Why are you investigating me now?”“Get the footage,” Dante ordered.Caleb soon brought the recording to the study.On the screen, Bianca approached E

While Dante remained in London, Julian returned alone to the Moretti estate.Bianca’s belongings had already been removed from Elena’s room.The wardrobe had been cleared, and Elena’s bed and desk had been brought back. But the nail holes in the walls, the missing shelves, and the scratches across the floor reminded Julian that the room would never be exactly as it had been.Several servants carried boxes out of storage.Inside were Elena’s awards, research materials, and childhood photographs.After their mother died, Julian had promised that he would always protect her.But after Bianca moved into the estate, he gradually began to take everything Elena had for granted.Because she was the family’s biological daughter, she was expected to give way to Bianca.Because no one could take the Moretti name from her, a little unfairness was not supposed to matter.Not until she decided she no longer wanted this family at all.Julian opened the family group chat.The last messages he had sent
