All Chapters of Married to My Enemy After Rebirth: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“You’re calling off the wedding, darling?” He chuckled and reached out to caress my cheek, but I swatted the gesture away.“You heard me.”“I heard you, I just don’t believe you. Is there a problem? Are the flowers not to your taste? I could have someone adjust the arrangements before the ceremony—“”Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, I saw you two just now. I heard you—“ the sight of red, smudgy bruises on Harper’s neck suddenly caught my attention. “And this!” I exclaimed, pointing at the hickeys covering Harper’s collarbone. “You think you can embarrass me like this on the morning of our wedding, and I’ll still agree to marry you? You bastard—“”Darling,” Lucas said darkly, pressing his fingers a bit too deeply into my shoulder. “Don’t try to make me angry. You’re engaged to the future Lycan King. Backing out of this agreement is not an option.” He pushed a loose lock of hair behind my ear, as if he could soften the tension with gentleness. “Besides, we’re fated

RUBYLucas pulled me through the castle, down staircases and through echoing corridors, finally back into my chambers.It would have been a beautiful night for a wedding, if I had still been the naive girl Lucas married in another life.“You’re angry with me, and I don’t understand why.” He began as he finally released my wrist, red from the tightness of his grip.There are too many reasons to list to you, you lying, adulterous bastard!”I caught you with Harper earlier. I know you haven’t been faithful to me, you can’t expect me to ignore that and still walk down the aisle to you.”“What you saw was a misunderstanding—”“What I saw was a betrayal!””Ruby,” he implored, adopting the gentle tone of a hurt lover, “we’re fated mates.”“You certainly don’t act like it.” I interrupted.“I do.” He took my hands in his. “I always have, and I always will. I have to love you, I can’t help it. I’ve always sworn to you I would do everything I could to make you happy.” His words were fervent, al

Lucas looked just as shocked as I felt.“What?” Harper squealed.“You heard what I said, I don’t think there is anything to be confused about. Sir, go ahead,” Caleb says to the officiant, keeping an arm tightly wound around me. “Are you… are you having an affair with Lucas’s brother? You whore!” Harper shouted, lunging for me. I had no time to step out of the way, Caleb picked me up and swirled me around him, keeping me safe from the attack.Harper fell face-first on the marble floor, her nose leaking blood.“I’m the whore? Lucas has been sleeping with you for our entire engagement,” I shouted, more to the audience in the pews than to Harper. It was time they all knew the truth. “He had no intention of honoring this marriage from the very start!”A collective gasp rang around the room, and Lucas finally shook himself out of his stupor to react. “Ruby, there is no need for hysterics–” he started, reaching for me, but Caleb pulled me farther back protectively.“This woman before you ha

CALEBWhat?Her words rooted me to the spot, and for once in my life, I couldn’t think of a quip to return back to the woman standing in front of me.Somehow, she knew. I have spent years planning to keep my wretched brother away from the throne, and I have spent months putting those plans meticulously into place. I have been quiet, I’ve kept my circles small, how could she possibly have found out what I was doing?Or maybe she doesn’t know? I wondered briefly if it was a fluke as she gazed up at me with those sure, steadfast eyes. This might all be random chance, could she just be a frustrated, jilted bride whose fiance had been fucking another woman behind her back?No, I realized for certain, she knew. She had too many specifics of my intentions, and came right out with them to my face. I had always thought of her as the lovesick puppy who followed my brother around like he was a god and capable of no wrong. But with this unexpected show, it seemed she was not the helpless pawn I’d

My father shook his head. “That’s enough, young lady.” He said, swiping the letter away.“You can’t make this decision for me,” I said, leaping up to try to take it back.“We’re your parents—“ my father started.“That doesn’t give you the right to bind me to a man who wants to kill you!” I cried, becoming desperate.“Sweetheart, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you feeling alright?” My mother asked nervously, feeling my forehead for evidence of a fever.“I’m fine,” I exclaimed, “but I won’t be if you force me to marry Lucas! Can’t you see what he’s doing? You already know he’s using me for my connections, can’t you understand why? He will only abuse power, he wants to hurt us all!”My father groaned, looking at me with a mixture of concern and fear. “That’s enough. We’re not going to keep having this conversation. You’re clearly overwhelmed, maybe we should have let the engagement last a little longer so you wouldn’t panic.”“You’re not listening!” I cried.“You’re not se
