Love Against All Odds
Rowan Remington finally accepted my marriage proposal.Â
He told me to dress up, saying he had prepared a surprise for me.Â
But when I arrived in my finest attire, Rowan did not present himself as the groom.Â
Turning to my half-sister, Lisa, with a playful smile, he said, âYou always complain that weddings are tedious and dull. Today, Iâll show you an interesting one. What do you think?âÂ
Just then, my elder half-brother, Miles, loudly declared, âThe wedding is on hold!âÂ
Suddenly, my childhood friend, Nathan Keller hurled a water balloonâprepared in advanceâat me and it smashed down on my head, completely drenching me.Â
Rowan arched a teasing brow at me. âIt was just a joke, Tessa. You didnât actually think I was going to marry you, did you?âÂ
The so-called wedding was nothing more than a farcical performance to entertain Lisa, who was suffering from depression.Â
As I stood in stunned silence, Rowan chuckled and added, âIf youâre that desperate to get married, why not pick someone from the guests and tie the knot right now?âÂ
So, I did.Â
I walked down the aisle with a new groom in hand.Â
Thatâs when they panicked.
