On the eve of his wedding, Aiden Pierce attended the bachelor party with his exes for the eighth time. This time, he got carried away and ended up leaving his seed inside the ex-girlfriend he had dated the longest.
When I found out, I arrived with the abortion pills as I had done seven times before. But at the mansion's doorstep, I saw his ex-girlfriend demanding through tears:
"Aiden, will you choose her, or the two lives in my womb?"
Without hesitation, Aiden pulled her into his arms.
"I choose you, and our children."
He roughly threw the medication and cash from my hands into the trash, carelessly placing even my ID on top of the garbage can lid.
"Rachel's different. She doesn't need this stuff."
I froze.
"What do you mean?"
"If the Pierce family elders hadn't looked down on Rachel's complicated family background, our first child would already be in preschool by now. But... that little life was left behind on a cold operating table."
"This time, I'll do everything in my power to protect Rachel until our children are safely born."
He stared at me, his expression deadly serious."When the kids are born, I'll have them recognize you as their godmother. After their first birthday, I'll send Rachel and the kids to live in Europe."
"After everything is settled, we'll go to City Hall to register our marriage. Then, I'll make it up to you with a grand wedding of the century. Is that okay?"
After a long silence, I suddenly broke into a smile.
"Sure, whatever you arrange. I have no objections."
That night, he immediately moved Rachel Davis into our mansion. Meanwhile, I packed my identification and dialed the number of his arch-nemesis:
"...You said you'd marry me anytime if I was willing. Still valid?"
Without hesitation, the voice on the other end replied, "Of course!"

The Discarded Bride

I gaze at him calmly, my tone indifferent.


Rachel steps forward, linking her arm with Aiden's to defend him.


"Lily, it's your fault. Last night was your own mistake. Aiden only asked you to leave to cool off because he was upset. Then you disappeared without a word. Do you know how worried Aiden was when he opened the door half an hour later and found you gone? Not only did you not let him know you were safe, but you're also tangled up with Max. How ungrateful can you be? Aiden brought me here specially to pick out your wedding dress, wanting to surprise you."


"Is that so? Well, then I should really thank you for your kindness."


Seeing that I'm not appreciating their gesture, Rachel wants to say more, but Aiden takes another step forward.


"Has no one taught you how to speak respectfully?"


"I'll ask you one more time. Why are you with him?"


Not wanting to waste any more breath, I give Max's waist a squeeze.
