All Chapters of Two Canceled Weddings: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Chris Zachman, my fiance who had not shown up for an entire week, finally called.However, he started questioning me as soon as I picked up the call."Clarissa Zander, what's wrong with you? Our families have already decided on the venue and date of our wedding. How can you just call it off?"I was about to speak when he cut me off and continued to vent."How many times have I told you that Ruth's health is poor? Even a cold could easily escalate to something serious. I need to be by her side to ensure her safety at all times. Why do you get jealous so easily? You don't value her life at all!"'Such is life.' I could not help but smile bitterly.Last night, I went out to make wedding arrangements alone. On my way home, I was run over by a speeding truck.I tried calling Chris before I passed out, but all I could hear was the call going to voicemail.He rejected my call twice.It was not until I nearly lost consciousness that a message alert popped up on my bloodied phone scree

After two seconds of silence, I could hear him sneering."Clarissa, you're lying through your teeth just so you can get me to treat you better. Was that why you said something like that?" Chris asked.I closed my eyes and let out a bitter chuckle.I knew full well that it would end up like this.I also knew full well that no matter how badly I suffered, Ruth would always be more important to him.Despite knowing all this, I was still a little delusional.Suddenly, I sensed a wave of nausea down my throat. I leaned over the edge of the bed and started vomiting.Chris was oblivious to this. He continued to speak with a tone of superiority."If you want to throw a tantrum, do it on your own. Don't drag Caleb's girlfriend into this. They agreed to meet their parents to discuss and decide on their wedding date. Now, she's nowhere to be found!"Just because you can't manage your own romantic relationship, you decide to bring others down. You even used your own life as an excuse. Don

Ruth was not happy about being criticized. She quickly stepped forward to make herself feel seen."Melissa, I know you're good friends with Clarissa, but you shouldn't treat Chris this way! Clarissa failed to show up at the party today. We had no choice but to visit her. We were only concerned!"Besides, we never thought Clarissa would hurt herself just to get Chris' attention."With that, Ruth even pretended to wipe her tears away.Melissa became even more furious when she saw Ruth's pretentious behavior.She stepped forward and directly slapped Ruth across the face."You may like claiming stuff other people have thrown away, but Clarissa couldn't care less! I hope all three of you stay together forever! Stay away from us!" Ruth screamed, her eyes soon filled with tears, "Melissa! How could you hit someone like that? You're Caleb's girlfriend. Don't you know how to control your temper so that you don't affect his reputation?"I really was sick the other day. Caleb and Chris o

Not only did Melissa have no intention of going back, but she even called in the movers and removed all of her belongings from his home.Caleb became furious and detained the movers. He demanded an explanation from Melissa.Melissa showed up and gave him a piece of her mind.The scene was also captured by the paparazzi.Without Melissa working diligently behind the scenes to take measures against the negative media, the video soon appeared on various online platforms.In the video, Melissa rested one hand on her hip while she pointed at Caleb's nose with the other. She yelled at him without a care for her own reputation."Caleb, don't over-estimate your own popularity. I've done everything I could to help maintain your fanbase over the years. 80 percent of your fans like you because of my marketing method!"Do you really think I like seeing that obnoxious look on your face? You need to go through your lines with me just to get your tone right when you act. It's only right if you

Chris had no idea why I suddenly behaved this way.He held me for fear that I would lose my balance and fall off the bed."Clarissa, what's wrong? I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. Don't scare me-"All I did was laugh.I never knew being indifferent, yelling at me, and vilifying me was his way of showing he loved me.I gradually calmed down as Chris continued to pat my back.After wiping my tears away, I reached for my tablet.I pulled up one of the medical reports and calmly handed it to Chris."Chris, if this is love, I think you might be better suited for a robot nanny."I did not know how to swear the way Melissa did.This was the most vicious thing I could ever say.However, Chris' hands began to tremble.His eyes gradually filled with tears.He looked at me in shock."This can't be real. Clarissa, please tell me this isn't real!" He uttered.When he saw the unwavering expression on my face, he dropped to his knees in front of me.He inched forward and leaned aga
