Romans & histoires Glamour And Sass: A Rejected Bride's Revenge

You all...I died a broken bride and I woke up a vengeful queen eight months in the past. I won't make such mistake again. ​Fidelia Crawford was the perfect pawn. She trusted her "step father" Derek, loved her fiancé Silas, and adored her stepsister Bridget. Well that foolish trust cost her everything. On her wedding night, she found Silas and Bridget in the ultimate betrayal, having a hot steamy sex. When she tried to flee, they didn't just let her go—they left her for dead on a cold marble floor. ​But the universe offered Fidelia a miracle: she woke up eight months before her murder. ​Now, the "innocent heiress" is gone. In her place is a woman with the skills of a master hac

The day of the wedding came too quickly, as if time itself conspired to rush Sasha toward her fate. She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace of her dress. It clung to her body like a second skin, emphasizing every curve she would rather hide. Her dark hair was swept back into an elegant updo, and the makeup, done by an artist Dominic had hired, made her look more like a stranger than herself. Everything about this day felt wrong, like she was playing a part in someone else’s life. But this was her reality now—a contract bride to Dominic Knight.

He offered his arm. “Ready to make them choke?” A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. “Born ready.” The gala was held at The Glass Tower—a twenty-story monument of mirrors and money. Cameras flashed the second we stepped out of the car, a thousand voices shouting our names. “Dante! Over here—who’s the new Mrs. Russo?” “Gianna, any comment about Luca Romano’s disappearance?” “Is this love or business?” Dante didn’t flinch. He simply slid an arm around my waist, drawing me close, his hand resting low enough on my hip to silence speculation but high enough to remain respectable. Every step we took was measured, deliberate.

“When I walk down that aisle, Marcus, it’s not just a wedding. It’s checkmate.” He laughed, low and dark. “Always liked that ruthless streak of yours.” The call ended, and I let the phone fall to the bed. I stood. The designer gasped and scrambled with the gown, helping me step into it. Silk pooled at my feet like liquid moonlight. Pearls stitched into the bodice caught the morning sun, glittering against my skin. Diamonds lined the veil. I turned toward the mirror, barely breathing as I took myself in. “I am the bride,” I whispered. “I am the story. I am the power.”

I wasn’t afraid of his anger; I was afraid of what would happen to me if I kept letting him pull me deeper into this glittering prison he called marriage. The gown fittings were the worst. Silk, lace, pearls—every fragile detail sewn carefully by trembling hands. I stood on the pedestal, staring into the mirror at the stranger who looked back. She was elegant, flawless, her body shaped by satin and boning. She was not Isabella Reyes. She was a doll, a bride-for-display, a promise wrapped in silk to appease a billionaire’s pride. Alexander made sure to attend each fitting. He would arrive without warning, the click of his shoes echoing through the studio like a drumbeat of doom.

“I came here simply out of curtesy Something flickered in his expression. Confusion. Regret. Something heavier he couldn’t name. “Clarice—wait.” He reached slightly forward. But she stepped back instantly. A clean rejection. Cold. Controlled. “Take care pf your fiance and forget your dead wife” she said calmly. That word landed like a slap. Fiancée. Damian froze. Grace turned away before he could respond. Back straight. Steps steady. No hesitation. As she walked off the stage, the entire hall still watched her like she was a storm they couldn’t name yet. And Damian…

But now standing in front of the wardrobe four days later in a gown that probably cost more than three months of my old rent I was having a quieter version of the same feeling I always had before these events. Am I ready to do this again? The answer was always yes because the contract said yes. But the question kept arriving anyway. Clara knocked at six forty five to tell me the car was ready. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. The gown was deep green. Floor length. The kind of cut that did not need accessories to make its point. The stylist had done my hair differently tonight. Softer. Down instead of up. I barely recognized myself. Good, I thought. That might help.

The Luke family stood frozen under the weight of countless scrutinizing gazes, their expressions pale with shock, unsure of how to respond. Ivy looked at the images, her eyes devoid of fear or excuses—just an eerie emptiness. This was happening again. She was used to being humiliated. But she refused to drag Luke into this mess. Stepping forward, her voice was calm yet resounded throughout the hall with unwavering clarity: “This wedding… I am calling it off.” A deafening silence followed. Gasps of disbelief filled the air. No one could fathom that the bride herself would be the one to cancel her own wedding.

' she asks me once more causing me to giggle, I stare at her in plain jeans and a tank top causing her to look more like my age range when it's clear she's totally older than my grandparents, "It's great" "How so? This is nothing I imagined please what exactly is your concept of revenge and what term do you use when explaining glamorous because this… this … well it's not the best thing I should wear even on a normal day" "The theme is to make him regret letting you go and if you show up at the table looking very glamorous and all he would know you are sting to get his attention and just take you for a nuisance"

"Ethan! And the mystery bride!" Julian Reed approached us, a glass of vintage scotch in his hand and a smirk that didn't reach his eyes. Beside him was Cassandra, looking like a porcelain doll in a gown of blood-red lace. "Aria, you look... transformed," Cassandra said, her gaze raking over my diamonds. "It’s amazing what a billionaire’s bank account can do for a girl’s complexion. Tell me, do you miss the Florida humidity? Or have you scrubbed the scent of the swamp off for good?"
