Todos los capítulos de My Fiancé Sold Me, so I Ruined His Future: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Lorenzo and I had barely returned to the estate before word spread through the family.A thread about it was blowing up on the family's private forum.The guys who worked the docks under Colton were the angriest of all.[Why is Colton being investigated? He's worked his butt off on those docks for years. If it weren't for him, we'd all have died in that last fight.][Seriously, he saved my life too. He got shot on a job and still got every one of us out. And now someone's saying he has no morals? No way!][Even the Donna can't get away with something like this. How are the rest of us supposed to keep risking our necks for the family?! Are they going to shut us out next?!]Just like that, the whole family was in an uproar.Some members were so outraged on Colton's behalf that they flew in from Miami and showed up at the council room, demanding answers from Dante.Even the maids at the estate had heard the rumors."Donna, maybe you should go down to the council room and see for yourself.

My face gave nothing away as I read it.In short, they wanted Lorenzo to strip me of my authority and shut me out of the family's business. They questioned who I really was.After all, the only person connected to my past was the doctor who ran the underground clinic.I'd always called him Uncle Walt.They said the fact that I kept blocking capable men from joining the inner circle proved I had an agenda. They even claimed I'd taken that bullet for Lorenzo as part of some scheme.The complaint ran more than ten pages.I read every line of it, slowly and carefully.Uncle Walt stood behind me, reading over my shoulder. He frowned. "This is bad. What are you going to do?" he asked, his voice full of concern."Nothing. Some of what they wrote was true."The members had never thought much of me. They didn't want me making decisions for the family because, as far as they were concerned, I came from nowhere.All I'd done was take one bullet for Lorenzo, and that had bought me my position.To

Colton looked down at the lace in his palm again. He flung it onto the table as if it had burned him.He'd gone deathly pale, and he kept backing away."It can't be!"I smiled and turned to my mother."Tell me, Mother. Do you see any resemblance between us?"My mother studied my eyes, my brows, and my build, even stepping closer for a better look.Her lips trembled. For a long time, she couldn't make a sound.Beth, on the other hand, backed away. She didn't dare come any closer.I looked around at all their faces and kept smiling.Then I glanced at a guard. He nodded and returned a moment later with an old woman named Mae Holloway. She couldn't meet anyone's eyes, and she looked terrified the moment she saw me.She suddenly dropped to her knees, her voice trembling.Then she stole a glance at Colton. She gasped, her eyes widening in shock. "You..."Lorenzo's expression darkened. "Talk. What's going on?"Mae's voice shook. "If I'm not mistaken, he's the one who sold the Donna to me all

Shocked murmurs rippled through the room, and no one dared say another word.Dante hung his head in shame. He didn't even try to explain himself.Colton rushed forward. "A few witnesses don't prove anything. And Alice's passport...""Stop making excuses." I smiled, but the look in my eyes was even colder.The past came flooding back, every moment of it crystal clear.Colton spun around to face me. "What does that prove?! A few people accuse me, and suddenly that means I did it?!"If that's what really happened, somebody would've figured it out back then!"Don, in all the years since Alice fell into the sea and disappeared, no one has grieved for her more than I have. I visit her memorial every year."Even before my wedding to Beth, I went to Alice's memorial first. And now the Donna has dragged these people in just to smear my name."I think she just doesn't want me in the inner circle. Fine. If that's how it is, I've got no reason to keep working for this family!"Colton was trying to

Lorenzo saw him reach for his gun and drew first, aiming at Colton."Go ahead. Try it." Lorenzo's hand was shaking with rage."The only reason I'm not killing you is that I'm letting my wife deal with you."His words sent a rush of emotion through me.Colton broke down sobbing. "Alice! You can't do this! I sold you, but I didn't know if you were alive or dead. I still visited your memorial every year. I never missed a single year!"You can't just ignore that!""You did that for yourself, not for me." My voice was flat.With that, I stepped over to Lorenzo's side.Lorenzo had Beth seized too. She trembled violently as she begged me. "Sis, please, don't do this! I didn't mean it!"You know this family is all I have. He was behind everything!"It had nothing to do with me! I'm begging you, please don't."I watched her coldly, and she turned to my mother instead."Mom, tell her. I'm your daughter too. I've been by your side longer than she has. Save me!"Beth sobbed and shook all over, her
