All Chapters of Through With My Wife And Sisters: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I stared at the three empty seats reserved for family members.I had to coordinate the entire wedding by myself, which included venue planning, scheduling, and finalizing the guest list.The whole time, my fiancée, Acara Grey, told me she was too busy with work to help.My foster brother, Levi Cal, was going to be the best man at the wedding.Since this was his first time as a best man, my sisters tasked me with helping him pick out his entire outfit, from the suit and dress shoes down to the cufflinks.They treated me as if I were a doll incapable of feeling any hurt or humiliation.Upon hanging up, the wedding planner asked me cautiously, “Mr. Thornton, are we going to keep waiting?”I unpinned the lapel pin and placed it on the empty chair meant for the bride.“We’re done waiting. The wedding is off.”I decided I was done waiting for my family as well as for the woman I had loved for a decade.Just as I was signing the form to cancel the wedding, Acara came calling.“Wher

The next morning, Acara was waiting for me downstairs at my office.The first thing she did when she saw me was to shove the box containing the ring into my hands.“Are you done with your ploy?“Even when your mother died, you weren’t making such a big deal out of it.”I was dumbfounded. She should know my mother’s death was the deepest, rawest wound I had.But here she was, hitting me where it hurt most just so she could force me to submit to her.“Acara, I have sent you the papers to call off the engagement.”She glanced at her phone, then deleted the document from her phone right in front of me.“You think a useless piece of paper is enough to scare me?“Zaire, you’re not a young man anymore.“Imagine being a thirty-year-old man who was rejected by his fiancée and does not have any money or status! You’re going to be a laughingstock!“I’m only marrying you because of the time we’ve spent together. It’s not like I can’t live without you.”Nylah and Mia arrived shortly aft

“Who said you could cancel the wedding?”The question caught the planner off guard yet again.“Mr. Thornton himself told me to cancel the wedding. And he signed the document for the refund!”She showed them the document containing my signature on her tablet as evidence.Seeing the document, Acara sniggered wryly.“Another one of his tantrums!“I’m sure he’s expecting me to plead with him.”Nylah checked her watch before giving an order, “Set the venue up again! He’ll be here by ten-thirty.”This troubled the planner.“Ms. Thornton, the banquet hall has already been booked for another wedding today. Even if Mr. Thornton shows up, I don’t think we can host the wedding today.”Mia’s expression darkened instantly.“Do you need us to spell it out for you? How much did he pay you to play along anyway?”Levi immediately held her back.“Mia, don’t be angry.”When he looked at the empty venue, he grew anguished.“It was all my fault. He doesn’t want to come because he can’t stand

The information seemed to have helped Acara calm down.“I knew it! He wouldn’t have the guts to leave me!”With that, she instructed Diana to reschedule the wedding.“Postpone it for a week, and when he comes back, bring him to register the marriage right away!”Levi offered hesitantly, “Are you sure he would still be willing to get married?”Acara cast him a look before stating confidently, “He couldn’t stomach the thought of leaving me.“In the last decade, he has always been the first one to back down whenever we argued.”Nylah instructed her people to call off the search too.“Let him get a taste of some suffering so he gets it out of his head that we can’t do without him.”Mia was the only one who continued to barrage Zaire with texts.[If you’ve had enough of your antics, report back to us.[Nylah had the housemaid clean out your room for you.[If you come back and apologize to Levi, we can put this whole thing behind us.]There wouldn’t be any replies to her message

The next morning proved to be a disaster for the technical department at Thornton Corporation.The system issued a notice that the patent was going to be revoked.Every piece of equipment in the lab was on a timer.Nylah tossed a stack of documents onto the conference table before demanding, “Find a way to work around these three patents.“I need a solution by the end of the day.”The technical director, Liam House, was completely at a loss.“It’s not possible. There’s too much backend code tied to the internal sensor and our calibration systems.“Even if we try to brute force it, we still have to restart the entire project from scratch to get it working.”Nylah frowned.“What am I paying all of you for? Can’t you all handle something that he did by himself?”A wave of silence swept over the conference room.Liam pushed a stack of old documents toward Nylah.“Mr. Thornton designed the very first prototype.“He was the one who developed the three subsequent updates too.“A
