My Fiancée Ran Off With My Stepbrother
My fiancee, Josephine Carter, tells me she is too busy with work to go home with me for Christmas just yesterday. But today, I find out that she has secretly booked a flight ticket to my hometown.
I am delighted. Josephine has always been good at creating surprises during our relationship. I do not expect her to still be doing this now that we have practically been dating for years already.
Just as I am about to tell my mom the good news, my stepbrother, Daniel Reed, suddenly announces in the family group chat that he is bringing his girlfriend home for Christmas as well.
My relatives immediately start teasing him in the group chat, asking to see the beautiful lady.
In the next second, photos of Josephine and him embracing like a couple appear in the chat.
Daniel texts, "See? I told you she is gorgeous. Not only that, she's rich too."
"Wow. You won the heart of such an amazing woman. That's impressive, Daniel."
Daniel replies smugly, "Of course! She is totally in love with me."
My breath catches in my throat, and the veins on the back of my hand bulge as I grip my phone.
No wonder Josephine says she cannot come home with me after learning I am spending the New Year at my mother's place. She doesn't expect that we will run into each other.
I close my eyes for a moment and send her one last message, "I have transferred back the 500 thousand dollars you asked me to manage for our wedding. It's over between us."
