The CEO's Jilted Bride Chapter 1 The Wedding

"No! No! There was no way this was happening, lest of all on my special day" Serena whispered under her breath.

But it's clearly written on this paper whispered back her subconscious.

Maybe she had read it wrong, maybe it was a mistake? She was probably just dreaming...that's right a dream nothing else.

You can see that the truth is clear for you to see Serena. Open your eyes! commanded my subconscious.

Opening her eyes, Serena unclenched her hands to reveal a little white paper underneath. It had been rumpled from her unconscious squeezing, on it was the neat cursive that she had come to love scrawled on it but the sight of them did nothing but dim the light in her eyes.

Dear Serena...

I don't really know how to say this but here goes nothing. I can't go through with the wedding. I realized however lately that I am hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Bebe and she reciprocates my feelings as well. She's pregnant with our first child and we intend to raise it away from the heat of all the drama that will surely ensue in our absence. Don't take it the wrong way sweetheart because once upon a time I actually did love you but I feel I'm doing this for your sake by not marrying you as it wouldn't be right as I'm in love with another woman and we really don't want to keep our affair a secret anymore. I wish you all the best and I hope that when we do meet again you would have found it in your heart to forgive me.

Yours truly

Melvin

Forgive him? He actually talks of forgiveness. The bastard...

I never expected this from neither him nor Bebe...they were my fiancé and best friend for Christ sake! Why would they do this to me? Most especially today of all days. Why did they choose to lie to me? Why didn't they just come clean to me and tell me that they were in love with each other? I would have never stood in their way if they had decided to say the truth and come clean about it albeit I would have been disappointed but I would never hold it against them.

Chelsea...

Chelsea was right all along. She had tried to warn me several times about them but I didn't listen to her, God I even defended them. I'm so stupid! I was to blind to everything and allowed myself to be led by my emotions.

At this moment Serena felt so alone, so angry and above all betrayed.

Steven the best man face looked black. He looked so angry and very uncomfortable that Serena wondered what could have made him to be that way. She looked around to see if Melvin her husband to be was with him but all she could see was Steven clutching onto a angrily white paper as if it was the cause of his annoyance.

Serena walked over to him to ask what the problem was with a smile. "Steven is there any problem?"

Steven looked up from the paper which he held in his hand and fixed them on the lady in front of him. His eyes were unable to meet hers as he whispered back to her. "Serena...Serena there is something I have to tell you.

"What is it?" she asked as Steven gently placed the letter in her hands.

"Melvin said to should give you this."

"Melvin? Where, where is Melvin?" Serena asked confusedly.

"I think you will understand better once you read this note."

****

Steven had always been a bit suspicious of his close friend Melvin when he noticed that Melvin and Bebe were always spending a lot of time together but he put it down to them trying to get along because of Serena's sake. His suspicions grew even further when he caught a scandalously dressed Bebe at Melvin's apartment at two in the morning.

Melvin had claimed that Bebe was there because he had invited her over because they were both working on a surprise for Serena.

"There was no one who could help me pull this off except for Bebe." He claimed. "I want to make this wedding a most memorable one for Serena."

Bebe herself concurred with Melvin and made him promise not to let Serena know about their plans. If only he had known that they would go ahead to do this sort of thing then he would have tried to stop them. How stupid he feels now

Melvin did not show up for the bachelor party he organized for him. Steven had called some of their close friends and met up to relax at a nearby hotel. He tried to call Melvin several times but his number remained unreachable. Later that night, he received a message from Melvin saying that he was feeling under the weather and needed rest.

Stephen laughed in understanding. "Guess he was suffering from the pre wedding jitters."

He didn't think much of the message and went to sleep little did he know that Melvin was up to something else. He received a little white paper on his door step the following morning.

He opened it out of curiosity only to discover that it was message that Melvin had addressed to Serena saying that he was calling of the wedding.

The bastard couldn't even give it to her and tell her the truth face to face and left him to do his dirty work...what a coward.

Now he had no choice but to give the damned letter to Serena and this hurt him straight to the core.

How he wished he could get a hold on Melvin and squeeze the life out of him.

"That son of a bitch! Serena doesn't deserve to be treated in such a way. He only thought of himself and didn't care how much pain it would cost her."

Steven knew there and then that his friendship with Melvin had definitely come to an end.

****

Steven snapped out of his flashback when he saw Serena slump onto a chair.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
