All Chapters of Planning My Ex-Husband's Wedding : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Eric's POV Joanne's words as she sauntered into the living room responded I my ears. "Yes. We are not overreacting. We did not just lose our father. We lost our sister!"Emily's eyes widened for a split second before she replied Joanne. "We are sorry about that. That's why we have come. We apologise for the sin of grandfather -""Well, it's not enough!" Joanne snapped. "Except it could get me my sister. Do you even know how it felt to see my father in a body bag after being crushed in a damned accident planned by your grandfather? Can you even imagine the mental torture we were subjected to simply because we could not find my sister anywhere!"The pain in her eyes as she let out her frustrations was evident.I gently squeezed Emily's hands to prevent her from adding fuel to the already burning tension in the room.Tears brimmed at the corner of Joanne's eyes as she stared at my hand on Emily's."Besides, you both have each other. Do you even know what it means or how it feels to be

Emily's POV It made me sad that we would be leaving the hotel by the next day, but I also felt delighted to get back to work.It was no fun overseeing Joanne's dress from the comfort of the luxurious suite, so I highly anticipated the journey back home."Mummy, am I coming home with you?"I stared into the eyes of my little princess as she stared back at me with watery eyes.I had had this very discussion with Eric. Anna was getting married, and as a result, I could not either her with my own problems.Thinking about changing Mia's school was a bit uncomfortable for me, but at this point, it was the only viable option that I had. She couldn't stay alone here, and I also had not completed the six month agreement I had with Eric, nor had I completed the dress I was designing for Joanne.I kissed her forehead and wiped away the tear that strayed from her eyes."Yes, darling. You're coming with us."Her eyes lit up with a warm smile, and she squealed in excitement."Yay!!"I spent the

Emily's POV The metallic taste of blood filled my tongue as I bit it hard to keep myself from saying anything rude to Joanne, who stared at me, anticipating my reaction.I wondered what she thought my reaction would be.Peharps, she thought I would leap for joy and jump into her hands to celebrate my meeting my long-lost step-family.Her eyes dimmed, she observed my sullen expression, and she wore a concerned look on her face."Is everything alright, Emily?"I forced a smile and nodded."Of course. Everything is. I supposed you'd like to try on your dress now, right?"She excitement dropped to its lowest level as she stared into my eyes in disbelief."Did you not hear what I said, sister?""No, I didn't!" I snapped suddenly, feeling like i was going to explode.How did they expect me to just sit back and take in the news happily?She even had some guts to walk into the Hub and tell me about being my stepsister."Look, I don't care what you all are saying about this whole.. family thi

Emily's POV My cheeks glistened with the pool of tears rolling down my cheeks as I listened to the story of how Mrs Florence Pries, Joanne's mother, had adopted me in secret.The story did not seem to add up when she talked about the sudden death of my father not long after his father's demise."I'm so sorry, Florence," I murmured, feeling a sense of heaviness."It's fine. It's not your fault. It's your husband's grandfather who killed your innocent father," she suddenly exclaimed with an angry expression in her eyes as she seemingly relived the moments of the hurt she had gone through.For some reason, it hurt me as well."Excuse me? Mr Richard would never," I retorted, causing her to raise a brow in shock as she stared at me like I was a monster with two heads."What? How do you know that? You were just a baby when he hijacked you just to gain access to your wealth," she insisted, but I shook my head."No. Mr Ruchard is a legally rich man, and all that he has was acquired by him an

Emily's POV "Yes.."My eyes widened as I stared into Eric's. His eyes had told me all I needed to know before he said anything verbally.I shook my head slowly before rising from the bed, moving far away from him.Just how cruel could his family he?As I travelled back in time, taking a trip down memory lane, I recalled the times I had spent with grandfather Richard.Had all his care and concern for me been nothing but deceit and hatred for my family?Did that mean no single person in the Wilsons family actually loved me?Did that mean I was just a tool to grandfather Richard?Cecilia and Alicia, who had never hidden their dislike for me since I came into the family, seemed to be the best people in the family at the moment.They were sincere in their hatred for me.They did not adopt me to steal from my grandfather, neither were they sick and domineering enough to trick me into returning, in the name of love, just to rape me in the night.Tears rolled down my eyes freely as I realise
