To help Sean pay off his high-interest loans, I sold my house. He hugged me tightly, crying, and promised to marry me on next year's Valentine's Day. It happened to be Valentine's Day when I paid off the last of his debt. However, what I saw shattered me—he was in bed with another woman. He arrogantly mocked me: "What are you staring at? You're not much different from her, are you? Go buy some rubbers for us." That's when it hit me—he had lied to me. Later, I agreed to marry the man my parents had chosen for me before they passed away. On the wedding day, Sean and his friends came to mock me: "Ella, do you think that I'll marry you if you just wear a wedding dress and follow me around? You're so shameless!" However, everything changed when the priest announced the exchange of rings. At that moment, as Sean's uncle knelt and placed the ring on my finger, I saw a flash of fear in Sean's eyes.

Mandy lifelessly lay on the ground, blood frothing from her lips.Sean did not even spare her a glance as his eyes locked on me. "Ella, I realize my mistake, won't you call off the wedding?" he pleaded.I could not tell if Sean's tears were real, but it did not matter. My love for him had evaporated, and I saw through his facade of sincerity. I had once longed to marry him, a dream he would never understand.His promises had been my lifeline, an unending source of hope. In the end, my unwavering love was squandered by Sean, leaving nothing.The words coming from his lips then were a cruel joke. I scoffed at the thought. "Sean, you've been behind bars. What makes you think I'd marry you? You're beyond redemption, and you're not worthy!"My words silenced the room.Then, laughter at Sean's expense rippled through the guests. In a fit of humiliated rage, he bellowed, "Ha! My uncle only cares for the girl who saved him fifteen years ago, Ella. You're nothing but a tool to him. Do you
From Ex to Aunt Chapter 8
"Do you recall saving a young boy fifteen years ago?""Yes, I remember. I was twelve that year, visiting my grandma's place, when I stumbled upon a boy drenched in blood…""Ella, that boy was me."Over the next hour, I learned about that fateful summer.James had been abducted by traffickers. He pleaded for help from many, but I was the only one who came to his rescue."Ella, your heart is pure and courageous, fearless in love and fierce in conviction. Finding you again probably used up all the luck I had left for the rest of my days..."James's voice trailed off, and he suddenly dropped to one knee, a ring in hand, and asked, "Ella, will you marry me?"Tears welled up, defying my efforts to hold them back. "I will! I will, for this lifetime and the next. I, Ella, will marry you."He pulled me into a tight embrace, and I could feel his heart pounding against mine.The hospital room door swung open, and the onlookers outside burst into applause, celebrating our union.They had

Mandy was the first to grovel and apologize."Ella, I admit it, I was blind to your worth. I'm the worst, just trash. Please, you've got to convince Mr. Clark to... No, wait, that's not right. I'm begging you, beg Mr. Clark to let me off the hook, please..."Her voice was loud, but it did not tug at my heartstrings one bit.They were all just regular people, and who in their right mind would dare cross the most influential person in Riverton? They fell to their knees, heads bowed, pleading for mercy.The guys who had tormented me were even on the ground, smacking themselves around, one of them going so far as to break his own hands.However, Sean merely stood still, looking at me with a mix of defiance and desperation."Ella, tell me it isn't true. You're not really going to marry him, are you? We promised each other forever, remember? You said you'd wait for me to make you my wife."Ella, didn't we set a date? Weren't we going to tie the knot on Valentine's Day?"I clung to Ja

James gently covered my eyes, his voice slow and heavy as he spoke to Sean, "If you can't see clearly, might as well keep your eyes shut for good."That was when Sean's begging hit my ears."Uncle, please, don't kill me! It's all a big mix-up."I pulled James's hand away just in time to catch the fear and fury in his eyes.Mandy was so petrified by James that she lost control of her bladder.She knew things had gone too far, and, dignity damned, she looked down, tears streaming. "Mr. Clark, you've got it all wrong, it's all been a big misunderstanding."Ella went to extremes to cover Sean's debts. She sold her car, her house, and even herself. She's nothing but trouble, don't let her fool you..."Sean just stood there, letting Mandy drag my name through the mud, not offering a single word in my defense.At that moment, I realized I had been handing my heart to the wrong person all these years.James did not even spare them a glance.He tenderly wiped the blood from my face, h

"What in the world do you think you're doing?"As James walked up, Sean's face twisted into a sycophantic grin, and he scurried over. "Uncle, some lowlife swiped your stuff and is wearing a fake heirloom of the Clarks, saying you're gonna marry her. We're just giving her what she deserves."Mandy chimed in, eager to please, "Mr. Clark, she's been hounding Sean to tie the knot. No way can we let trash like that into the Foster family."James's brow creased with distaste, clearly not a fan of Mandy.He turned to Sean, "Keep it down, will you? My wife wouldn't like a scene."Sean quickly stepped in front of me, blocking his view. "Don't worry, Uncle. I've got this under control."Once James was gone, they closed in on me, their faces twisted with mockery."What's wrong? Lost your voice? Weren't you bragging about marrying James? Where's that now?""Do you think if he knew you were pretending to be his bride-to-be, he'd finish you off himself?"They clamped my mouth shut, silencin

I slid the bracelet off my wrist, the one I had always worn.The day James came to ask for my hand, he slipped the bracelet onto my wrist himself. He told me it was a cherished Clark family heirloom, passed down to new brides.When Sean caught a glimpse of the bracelet, his face twisted with even more fury. "Ella, you're such a liar!" he spat. "Flaunting a knockoff and claiming it's a Clark family treasure?"My own mother never laid hands on it. What makes you think you're worthy? Where'd you get this fake?"The house was already buzzing with guests, but Sean's outburst drew an even larger crowd."Disgraceful woman," someone hissed."She steals and then has the gall to fake a family heirloom, trying to worm her way into marriage. She's an embarrassment to us all."The crowd, sensing a scandal, eagerly piled on.Their words grew wilder, and the pain in my body mounted until my hands shook."I'm no thief."Anyone paying attention could see the fury I was fighting to contain.M

Sean's foot came down on my hand repeatedly, rendering my hand a bloody pulp.Despite the pain, I would not let go. After making sure Mandy was okay, he crouched down, his gaze filled with contempt. "Let's see how much more you can take, Ella.""Sean, please, no more..."He ignored my words, gripping my swollen cheek with a rough hand, his gaze shifting to the unbruised side of my face, his eyes chilling and hard.With a sharp slap, my ears rang, the world going silent.In a desperate move, I bit down on his hand, refusing to let go.Pain contorted his face as he yanked his hand free."If you don't finish me off today, you're going to regret it, Sean," I spat out."You're not even worth the effort," he sneered, cradling his injured hand and scanning the area.Once he was gone, I looked at my palm. The necklace lay there, bloodied but whole.Out of nowhere, Sean appeared with a dagger, advancing toward me.Panic surged, and I screamed, "Sean, stop! You can't do this to me..."

Initially, I was clueless about Sean's background. I thought he was just some guy in over his head with debt. It was only after our breakup that I learned he was the scion of Riverton's influential Foster family.To teach him independence, his family had cut him off financially. Of course, make no mistake, the Fosters ruled Riverton.The priest shook with fear under Sean's glare, his bible slipping from his hands to the floor. He looked desperately at me for help.Before I could utter a word, Sean yanked the tiara from my head. "My uncle designed this, Ella. Did you think you could just steal it?"The tiara's jewels dug into my scalp, drawing blood.I remember the time I was hauling bricks on a job site just to help him pay off his debts, and I ended up getting hurt. During the operation, they found out I was allergic to the anesthesia. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and bear it. The pain was like a diamond slicing through my skull.Fighting through the throbbing in my head

"You're downright shameless, Ella! Really, you're stalking me?"You think slipping into a wedding gown means I'll say 'I do'?"The priest was right there, ready to start the ring exchange, but the mocking voices cut through the air.Sean Foster, all dapper in his suit, pointed at me with a smug grin. "Take a good look at yourself, Ella. You think you're in my league? Honestly, if you hadn't offered to bail me out, I wouldn't have given you the time of day."Who'd want you? You think I'd settle for you?"The guys flanking him snickered, their faces twisted with scorn as they piled on."Isn't this Ella who sold her house, her car, and who knows what else for my buddy? What's wrong? Got dumped and now you're looking for my friend to clean up your mess?""She sold her body? Disgusting.""She's got some nerve, showing up on the day Sean's uncle's getting hitched."Their taunts hit me like a barrage, each word a heavy stone on my heart.I was clueless about Sean's debts to the shar
