Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

As I burst into the room, my heart shattered into a million pieces. The sight before me was a painful reality I never expected to face. There, on the bed, lay Alex, my love, entangled with Lily, my best friend.

A mix of anger, betrayal, and heartache surged through me, and I couldn't hold back my emotions any longer. "How could you do this to me?!" I shouted, my voice filled with pain and disbelief.

Alex's eyes widened in panic, his face pale with guilt. "Chloe, it's not what you think! Please, let me explain!" he pleaded desperately, his voice trembling with regret.

But my vision was blurred by tears, and I couldn't bear to hear his excuses. The room spun around me as I turned to face Lily, my once-trusted confidante. "You, Lily! How could you betray me like this?" I cried out, my voice filled with a mix of anger and hurt. I turned to leave, and Alex wanted to chase after me, but Lily threatened to end everything if he did, Lily was standing there, her voice filled with venom as she threatened to end everything if Alex dared to go after me. She sneers, "If you chase after her, Alex, I swear I'll make sure you regret it. Our love is real, and you're just pretending with her." Her words cut through the air, adding another layer of pain and confusion. So, I waited, hoping he'd choose me. But he stayed with her. It felt like a punch to the gut, making me question if our love meant anything to him. Lily had the nerve to claim that he loved her and was just pretending with me. I couldn't take it. I looked at Alex, demanding to know why he proposed if he didn't love me anymore. He couldn't even answer. And then, Lily came closer, confessing that she asked him to stay with me. I was so angry, I raised my hand to slap her, but Alex grabbed my hand and told me to go. Lily smirked, and I felt this overwhelming pain inside. I looked at Alex, desperately searching for any sign of love left, but all I got was emptiness. It was heart-wrenching... "Seriously, Lily? How could you do this to me? Sleeping with my fiance?! "

"oh please, I don't feel an ounce of guilt, he's mine now and you can't change that. "

my voice trembles with a mix of anger and hurt as Lily says that, she was supposed to be my sister, my eyes welling up with tears. "I trusted you, Lily, we were supposed to be sisters. This is betrayal! "

Lily's expression remains cold and calculated, her face devoid of any remorse or guilt, she maintains a smug smile, seemly unaffected by the betrayal and pains she caused me.. "sisters? Ha! You are just in my way. He chose me not you. "

My hand shakes as I struggle to control my emotions, my voice quivering with a mix of disbelief and overwhelming sadness.."I can't believe that you stabbed me in the back, I never saw it coming, I always consider you as my sisters but I just realized that you both played me.. "

Lily's smirk widens, her eye glinting with a hint of satisfaction.. "you can return the ring to the rightful owner.. " tears streaming down my face, reluctantly remove the ring and hand it to Lily. I look at Alex, my voice filled with heartbreak.

"I didn't know when you stopped loving me. You should have told me instead of hurting me like this. I accept it all, and I accept that you chose her. I wish you both a better life."
