Flash Marriage With My Fiance's Rival นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Thankfully we were seated with Lucas and Maria so the night wasn't a complete dud. When the event ends, the photographers gather again outside for exit shots. Cassian’s hand returns to my waist, guiding me down the steps. We get into the car, the door closes and we're thrown back into awkward silence. Then, I let it out. “You don’t own me.” Cassian doesn’t look up from his phone. “Legally, this marriage says differently.” I turn to face him fully. “I’m not a property.” His eyes lift. Calm. Reflective. Empty.

“The Vegas fight made us realize the passion was real. We eloped in the heat of the moment. We’re happier than ever.” Then it got harder. A reporter stood up. “There are rumors this marriage is a sponsor driven cover up to save both your scholarships and reputations. Any comment?” My stomach dropped. Declan squeezed my hand and smiled that charming captain’s smile. “People love drama. The truth is simpler. I fell for the most talented, fiery woman on this campus.” He looked at me, eye filled with intense.“She drives me crazy… in the best way.” The room sighed dreamily.

Tristan I paused as Megan's words hung in the air. Suddenly, something stirred inside me. A memory came back and I knew it was triggered by what she said. Flashback It was after our engagement was announced. The grand hall was full of people I didn’t like. They all congratulated us as if we were a perfect couple. My mother, who always cared about appearances, had pushed Elaine and me outside. She wanted us to have a "sweet moment" together under the moonlight. I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want to be anywhere near Elaine, but I had to play my part.

I reminisced about the happy times we spent together. We had been together for five years. During those five years, I did everything I could to treat her well. I never allowed her to suffer, even for a little bit. Despite that, what did that bring me in the end? All I received in return was my fiancée getting married to another man on the day of my father's funeral. I knew something was wrong the day Zack returned to the country. Helen did not come home that night. When she finally did, there were love bites on her.

Her hands trembled, but she didn’t drop the tray. In the corridor, Thom met her with a folded cloth. “That wasn’t an accident,” he muttered. “I know.” “You should say something. He’d listen.” Sepharine looked back toward the double doors. “He didn’t even look at me.” “You nearly died for him.” “I’m beginning to think that was a mistake.” --- That night, the manor buzzed with plans for Draven’s upcoming birthday. Fiona beamed in the parlor. “We’ll announce the official betrothal after the toast. I want the chandeliers to reflect the ring.”

Chris mutters, irritation lacing his tone. “What did you do to make her look so mad?” Josh presses. “I asked her to marry me,” Chris answers casually. Josh shoots to his feet. “What?! Are you insane? Everyone knows she’s engaged!” “I know,” Chris says evenly. “Then why would you… Wait—don’t tell me you still like her?” Josh accuses. Chris hurls a book at him. Josh dodges. “Fine, fine! Then what—revenge? Because she looked down on you back in the day?”

Her voice was high and loud. “Yes!” I shouted back. “Girl, are you serious? Is this a joke? Are you fucking kidding me? You know I hate when you do that.” “No,” I said. “I’m serious. I’m his wife now.” “You didn’t even tell me! When did this happen? Wait—was that real? The video I saw online? That wedding ceremony in the Maldives some hours back? It is trending all over the internet, I thought it was fake or maybe you have a twin sister hidden somewhere you don't know but I knew the name looks the same as my friend.”

"You are right. I should have killed him. I will find him and burn him inside his house, along with his camera. I promise you, brother. " I scoffed, shaking my head. "I told you to stay away from her, didn't I? I told you years ago to let her go. That includes not stalking her. But you don't listen, do you?" I inquired, feeling the old familiar mix of disgust and pity for my brother. I walked towards the exit, then paused, turning back to look at Flynn. He was still staggering, lost in his own intoxicated world. "And cut that bullshit about you being her husband," I snarled. "I was still married to her when you guys did that flash marriage, or whatever you call it. So that marriage is invali

Flashes started as soon as we stepped in. Jasmine took the mic first. "I want to thank everyone for coming today," she paused and looked at me, I nodded at her to keep on the speech. "Like I said at my press conference, I love my husband and we have renewed our vows." We both waved our fingers to the new flashy rings. And there came flashed from the cameras. She cleared her throat. "And not just our hearts are united again," she continued. "Our businesses too." I stepped forward now.
