Chapter: 2
Jasper spoke impatiently as he pushed Brielle away to get up.
“I need to keep an eye on her. I'm afraid she will have cold feet about the wedding."
But Brielle, carelessly dismissing the concern, gave him a kiss and said, "Oh, stop worrying so much. She always listens to you. Besides, we have her mother's belongings with us. She wouldn't dare to run away."
Without wasting a moment, Jasper flipped Brielle over and Leaned in to kiss her.
"You're right. Thank you, baby. I will dump that married bitch when I finish the plan. I only want you..."
Ariana watched in horror as they started to have sex, their moans and gasps filling the room.
The reality of the situation hit her hard, and she was left reeling, struggling to maintain her balance as she stumbled backward.
The betrayal was too much for Ariana to bear. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Fury surged through her veins, and she balled her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She listened to the sounds of the couple's lovemaking with a mix of disgust and rage.
But Ariana was not defeated. She had to take action. She would not let Jasper and Brielle get away with their treachery.
With newfound determination, she wiped away her tears, slipped on her high heels, and strode back to the room. Without a moment's hesitation, she signed the consent form, determined to become the true daughter-in-law of the Anderson family.
And she would make sure that Jasper and Brielle would pay for their betrayal, no matter what it took.
* At night, the Anderson family's residence was illuminated by bright lights, casting a glow over the extravagant surroundings.
Ariana was escorted to Theodore's room by the housekeeper, just after the wedding.
This was the first time she was meeting her so-called husband.
According to Jasper, Theodore was a man with a terrible temper, a bad character, and a cruel personality. He was even cold to his own family. Jasper used every insulting word to describe Theodore, even “ugly.”
Ariana had believed Jasper's words and was mentally prepared to face a husband who was anything but handsome. However, when she saw Theodore for the first time, even though he was ill, she couldn't help but notice his inherent nobility and incredibly handsome appearance.
Ariana stood motionless beside the bed, admiring Theodore's stunning features, and began to doubt everything Jasper had told her.
At that moment, Jasper, who was drunk and carrying a bottle, pushed the door open and swaggered into the room, speaking loudly and with no regard for Theodore's condition.
“I'm sorry, Aria. I was too preoccupied today, and I regret not answering your call," Jasper uttered, feigning remorse.
