Three months after fleeing my wedding, I unexpectedly ran into my ex-fiancé at a high-society gathering in the capital. Out of the blue, someone asked me, "Teresa, I saw on social media that you're getting married again?" "Ms. Carter, when can we celebrate your big day?" Smiling confidently, I replied, "Next month." In an instant, everyone began congratulating me and Daniel. After all, everyone knew he had been my fiancé. After the party, Daniel cornered me, his tone sharp. "You're the one who ran away from the wedding, and now you're the one rushing to get married? Do you think this is funny?" I found his reaction amusing. Fixing him with an icy stare, I said with a faint smirk: "Who said my new groom is you?"

Dead Groom Returns Chapter 10
Even on the eve of our wedding, Daniel was not ready to throw in the towel.He had gotten to Janice, a face from Kenny's past.Daniel's message hit me out of the blue.[Do you honestly think Kenny, a guy like him, didn't play the field while he had amnesia?]Janice had splashed photos all over the social media, snapshots from inside Kenny's place.Bed, bathtub, balcony, couch.However, she was solo in every shot, so the online crowd did not buy her story.Kenny was no ordinary guy, and Janice's little stunt was cut short when the authorities decided to have a chat with her.Daniel got his wrist slapped, too.The last time I saw him before the wedding, he was a drenched figure outside Gibson Mansion, pleading for one last meeting.I ran it by Kenny, who shrugged it off. "Go ahead, dear. Let him get it out of his system and quit his games.""You're not jealous?" I poked, trying to pinch his waist, but there was not an ounce to give.It was almost a problem, having a husband i

Daniel's text popped up on my phone.[Teresa, I really do love you. That whole thing with saving Juliet? It was a setup, a little drama to shake things up for you.][You may find it hard to swallow, but you're so poised and cool that you've barely shed a tear around me.][I started wondering if you ever truly loved me. Or if it had always been Kenny for you. Maybe I was only your plan B.][Well, now, I'm okay with being your fallback.]Kenny brought me back to the Gibson place.It was like stepping into a familiar old book.I had spent four years there, tending to the garden's blooms and buds in my spare time.My art studio was still as I left it—untouched.If my wedding with Daniel had gone smoothly, I would have also left from there as a bride.After ages, I saw my mom again.She tried to make conversation, but beyond the usual how-do-you-dos, we were practically strangers.Since my move to the capital at ten, I had only seen her ten times in 15 years.Our mother-daughte

His eyes had been tracking me the moment I walked in, a mix of fiery intensity and a touch of pride.He seemed a little worn but had not lost any of his charm.Mindy, John's wife and a buddy of mine leaned in close. "Teresa, I saw the post on your timeline—you're tying the knot again?" she whispered.I confirmed with a smile.The room erupted in applause and cheers for Daniel and me, all except Juliet, who looked like she had bitten into a lemon.Daniel's eyes sparkled with delight, but his smirk told a different story. It was as if he could stray, and I would still be there.I met his gaze with a calm smile. "My husband will be sending out invites soon," I said, my voice soft but sure.John let out a snicker. "You hear that, Daniel? Better get those invites ready."Daniel gave a haughty snort. "Whoever ditched the wedding should handle it. I don't have time for that."Juliet could not resist a jab. "Teresa, you're so lucky. Daniel's so good to you."I did not bother to corre

Kenny heard the noise and came running, booting Daniel aside with a swift kick.He looked down at him and said, "She's got me forever, so you don't need to worry about that."Daniel, too drunk to even recognize Kenny, was hoisted by his bodyguards. However, he continued to hurl insults my way."John was right. You're nothing but a two-faced tramp, playing the innocent role with me while you've been messing around with other guys since you've bolted from our wedding."Kenny moved in and landed a punch that left Daniel with a shiner."Spew one more filthy word, and I won't hesitate to shut you up for good," he threatened.His voice was harsh, and even his refined features took on a menacing edge at that moment.He was the kind of man who had fought tooth and nail for his place in the world, like a king claiming his domain in the wild—a self-starter who had built an empire from the ground up.Daniel, a pampered, pretty boy living off his family's legacy, could not hold a candle to

Honestly, my heart skipped a beat right then.The image of Daniel with Juliet sprang to mind.I bit my lip and, without thinking, let go of Kenny's hand.Kenny pulled me closer. He frowned and asked, "Janice, who let you in here? And how did you get my house keys?"Janice Thompson went pale, a flash of envy in her eyes as she replied in a frail voice, "Mr. Gibson, you had me come here for some papers last time, and I remembered where the keys were. I'm sorry, Mr. Gibson. I thought the place might need dusting since you were gone for a month, so I came to clean it up."Mr. Gibson, are these your folks and your girlfriend? I don't want to intrude, so I'll be on my way."She spun around, striking a seductive pose that flaunted her slender curves.Brianna could not take it anymore and slapped Janice right across the face."You can't just barge in without asking—that's trespassing."Are you striking a pose? Your skin must be thick. Let me thicken it a bit more for you."Kenny made

Before I could get lost in my yearning, I thought of Kenny's parents, the Gibsons.They had been nothing but kind to me since Kenny's disappearance."Did you get in touch with your parents? They've missed you terribly."Kenny's lips grazed mine, his voice a seductive rasp as he said, "The moment my memories returned, I reached out to them."He scooped me into his arms, our faces inches apart, his brow glistening with sweat that somehow only added to his allure."I told them to keep it quiet as I snatched you away. I also told them to let the wedding carry on to embarrass the Lewis family," he confessed.His mom was in on it, too, no doubt.Daniel had managed to sweet-talk me into his life, and after that, he had bullied me relentlessly.The thought of that car blowing up sent a shiver of panic through Kenny's heart.Life had been cruel to him, robbing him of four years with me. However, it also gave him a second chance to be my hero.I stopped asking questions. Amid my confus

At the wedding venue in the capital.The guests were long gone, and the bride's absence left the Lewis and Carter families in utter disgrace.Daniel coughed through a cloud of smoke, his eyes red with a mix of sorrow and rage. "Teresa really had the guts to run from her own wedding!"Daniel's dad delivered a sharp slap to Daniel's cheek."Would a sweet girl like Teresa ever pull something like this if it weren't for you?"My mom tried to intervene. "Mr. Lewis, it's my fault for not raising my daughter right. Please, don't take it out on Daniel."However, Kenny's mom, Brianna, was not having it. She snapped and said, "Teresa's been nothing but an angel. The Gibsons have always sung her praises. If Daniel hadn't crossed the line this time, would she have bolted from her own wedding?"Her voice broke with emotion. "The poor thing—not even her mother cares for her. I'd never let her marry off if Kenny were still with us."My grandmother squeezed my mom's arm. "I watched Teresa grow
Dead Groom Returns Chapter 3
As I looked back on life, the wildest thing I had ever done was jetting off to a foreign land with a man I barely knew to witness the aurora borealis.I guessed that was what happened when I had played the perfect heiress for too long—when it finally came, the rebellion hit like a storm.On the day that should have been my wedding, my rescuer, Matthew, and I touched down in Norwyn at four in the afternoon, Grand Royal City time.The sight of that icy kingdom, famous the world over, took my breath away. The biting chill could not dampen the fire in my heart. I threw my arms wide, embracing the freedom I had never known.We made our home in a cozy villa in Tromhaven, wandering the frosty landscapes together.As snowflakes danced around us, I scooped up a handful and pressed it to my face. I looked up with tears mingled with the melting snow. "Matthew, this is the first time I've ever traveled alone."Before, I was always the Carter family's golden girl or Mrs. Gibson, tagging along
Dead Groom Returns Chapter 2
I paused mid-step, the tears I had been holding back finally breaking free.I was Teresa, the cherished daughter of the Crystal Isle family, nurtured by my grandparents in a stately home just beyond the bustling capital. Since childhood, I knew my destiny was intertwined with a strategic marriage to a prominent family within the capital.Kenny, a man of esteemed reputation and striking looks, once defended me from bullies. I harbored no ill feelings about the prospect of him as my spouse.When I later honored his memory alone, I bore my solitude without bitterness.My existence served as a vital link between the Gibson and Carter families, ensuring their alliance remained strong, and they, in turn, treated me with kindness.Yet, Daniel entered my life like a radiant beam of sunlight, claiming he had adored me since he was 15.His constant and warm presence broke through my composed exterior reserved for high society.He alone could stir my emotions, easily drawing out tears and
