The Bride He Cast Away On Their Wedding Night Novels & Stories

At the party the night before our wedding, I came across a couples' challenge post online: [If I weren't an option, who would you most want to marry?] I smiled as I asked my fiance, Julian Hayes. He didn't hesitate. "Vivian." Vivian Bennett was my younger sister. My best friend chimed in. "Honestly, Vivian does understand him best. Every time you two fight, she's the one who stays up talking to Julian until dawn." Vivian reached over and gave him a playful punch on the chest. "Better keep your fiance in line, sis. Can't have him pining after me all the time." The whole table erupted in laughter. My mother, Margaret Bennett, gave an amused tsk. "It's just a joke. Besides, Vivian never complai

’ Lily thought. A few moments later Dario finally let off Cassie. To everyone's surprise, he threw the diamond ring as if it was worth nothing yet. Then held Cassie's hand again and said with a smile, “Let's go.” “Yes,” Cassie gleefully replied. Despair washed over Lilly as her wedding ring disappeared in the sea of people, just like her happiness. “Oh my god! What’s going on? Did the bridegroom just run away with his mistress?” “I know, right? The bride must be in anguish as the groom’s mistress had come to ruin the wedding day. To think he even chose the mistress and abandoned his bride!”

And then a single clap broke it, my grandmother. She stood, slow and steady. “Well,” she said, voice rich and sharp, “I suppose betrayal is the new bridal theme.” The room cracked with uncomfortable laughter. Clarissa’s face faltered. I turned, back straight, bouquet slipping from my hand. “Enjoy your circus,” I said to them both. “You’ll need more than applause to survive the fallout.” Then I walked away. Not from the wedding. But from them. I found myself on the hotel balcony ten minutes later, my fists clenching together as I hit the cold rail, the skyline blurring behind my tears. My hands still smelled like roses and sugar and everything I’d planned for a future that no longer existed.

The bridegroom wasn't a simple guy from our countryside like my sister preferred, she always wanted a simple life where she would be managing the household and looking after kids while her husband earned their livelihood. However, this was not the case, her husband-to-be was a lord, our small village fell under his estate. He was the great Vampire Lord, child of the night, a nocturnal being. The wedding would also be held at night instead of the morning like it usually happened. Even the wedding gown wasn't white.

We exchanged our wedding rings and proclaimed long life commitment to each other. Before we were proclaimed husband and wife the priest asked “Is there anyone against this marriage?If so please come forth and lay your complaint…" When no one came forth, we were proclaimed husband and wife. We shared our matrimonial kiss and went down to celebrate our union. I mingled with Asphalt's business partners. Took wedding photos with everyone in attendance and by the time everything was done, evening had come. I and Asphalt went back to his house and that was when my turn to play had come.

It would take a week for the news of the bride change to make its way through the family's internal channels. That whole week, all of Chicago's underworld was buzzing. People said I'd actually given up a wedding that was right within my grasp. Others said Sofia Colombo must have some serious pull—making Vincent swap brides right before he was set to take over. I paid no mind to any of it. On the fourth afternoon before the wedding, Vincent's most trusted man, Paul, showed up at the back door of my private clinic, carrying a brand-new Louis Vuitton suitcase.

The cathedral doors burst open. Dozens of armed men stormed inside. One old man shouted, “Kill the cursed bride!” The young warrior immediately drew his sword. “No one touches my wife!” Steel clashed. Blood covered the cathedral floor. Flames consumed the altar. The bride cried while holding him. “I’m sorry…” He smiled weakly. “You promised…” He whispered. “…you’d find me again.” Everything dissolved into darkness. ⸻ Present Alessio gasped violently. He fell to one knee.

He’s the only one I’ve ever truly loved in that house. When Camille drowned in Lake Orion five weeks before her wedding, the family was shattered. But according to some old Appalachian tradition Camille’s fiancé’s family believes in, the wedding couldn’t be canceled. Not if the bride died. They said the spirits had to be appeased. The groom had to marry someone from her bloodline—or else misfortune would curse both families. That’s when Jim came to my job, eyes bloodshot, hands shaking. He begged me to step in. “Do you take Elias Maddox to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?”

With a sharp huff, Cain turned and walked away, the crowd parting for him as he passed. Behind him, Vera lifted her glass. Orion met it with his own. They clinked them together, identical smirks stretching across their lips. And for the first time that night, Vera felt it fully— This was only the beginning. —— “Your dress is stealing the show, Ms. Vera,” Maya whispered beside her as they stood watching Didi and Cain stroll slowly down the aisle. The press were everywhere. Cameras flashed like lightning. Phones were raised high, people stretching on their toes just to get a better view of the bride and her gown. Vera overheard a group of women behind her murmuring breathlessly that they would

Raphael raised a brow as he stared at Caspian. "My supposed 'bride' unfortunately died in the accident— don't you get what that means?" He asked as he saw their clueless expression which slowly turned into one of understanding. "That means…" Aeon exchanged looks with Raphael who nodded " The hunt for a bride is now on" "Exactly" Caspian nodded and turned away from them and walked to a table at the middle of the room. Different sizes of knives were placed there. Caspian picked up the smallest and twirled it in his Ii They'll find a bride for me instead, one they'll use as a weapon" He turned back to face them, a grin on his face "But I'll beat them to it"
