Chapter 10
After tossing those things away. Rosa felt like a huge weight had finally lifted off her shoulders)
She let out a carefree laugh, swept her gaze over everyone in the room, and said, her voice ringing out clear and strong. “Since everyone here today is someone important in our circle, let me make it official, right in front of you all From this moment on 1, Rosa, will never again trail after the Schuler brothers. I won’t go looking for them, and from now on, there’s nothing left between me and those three. We’re done!
With that, she spun on her heel, ready to leave.
It took Lex, Austin, and Aiden a second to snap out of it. One of them grabbed her arm, anger flaring in his eyes. “Rosa, are you serious? You’re really not afraid well just ditch you at tomonow’s wedding?“%
They thed to sound intimidating, but if you listened closely, their voices wavered just a bit.!!
Rosa tumed around completely calm. “None of you are the groom. You’re just quests. I honestly don’t care if you show up or not.”
Then, without another glance at their stunned faces, she walked away
On the wedding day, the three Schuler brothers arived at the venue with Abigail and a few of their friends!
The place was breathtaking–flowers everywhere, expensive decorations scattered around, making everything look like something out of a dream. Even the name cards on the tables were specially designed, elegant and uniques
One of their friends looked unessy and whispered “This wedding looks legit. If she’s just playing hard to get, she’s going all out. Are you sure Rosa isn’t actually marrying one of you guys?”
At that Lev, Austin, and Aiden all stiffened
But they quickly forced themselves to act indifferent.
“No way. It’s Schuler and Swanson tying the knot-if it’s not one of us,1
us, then whe
who else could it be?
“Exactly. She’s just pulling this stunt to force us into marrying her. Just wait–she’ll be the one embarrassed soon.”
The fancier this wedding is, the bigger the joke when it falls aport.
Their words were harsh, but Abigail could sense how mttled and unsettled they were about Rosa. Her heart sank.
Ever since Ross had dropped off those the suitcases yesterday, everything seemed to have changed.
A cold fear crawled up Abigail’s spine, making her worry that her secret–taking credit for Rosa’s heroics during the earthquake–might come out. She forced a smile. “Ms Swanson just cares about appearances. She chased you guys for so long–there’s no way she’d give up now. She’s just bluffing, trying to save face?
The brothers nodded distractedly, clearly not convinced?
Romantic piano music floated through the air as the emper announced, “Let’s welcome the bride and her parents to the stager
The doors swung open. Rosa appeared, arms linked with Joseph and Katherine, and walked out slowly.
Her white dress flowed in layers, making her look almost unreal, every bit of her beauty on full display.
The moment she stepped out, it felt like the whole room forgot how to breathe
Even the Schuler brothers couldn’t help the flash of awe in their eyes–though they quickly tried to hide it.”
Once Rosa was on stage, the emote continued, “Now, let’s welcome the groom!
One second. Five seconds. Ten seconds..!
Time ticked by, but the groom ever showed
The three brotors all let out a visible sigh of rel
Lev sneered, “Alight, Rosa, enough already. You’ve dragged this out long enough.“%
Austin gave a cold laugh, capped his hands, and signaled to a few burly security guards. “Rosa, if you insist on making a scene, then don’t blame us for not saving your dignity Remember what I caid? if you go through with this wedding. I’ll tear it down myselff’i
As the comination grew, Tyler and Megan’s faces darkened Tyler stood up, voice sharp with anger. “Why aren’t you three sitting with the other guests? Are you really going to wreck the wedding? Do you malize today is for Rosa and your-
Before he could finish, Austin cut him off, his voice icy. “Dad, Mom, it’s not that we don’t want to marry her. We’ve said from the start the engagement is fine, but it’s just a titlu–no real wedding Our hearts belong to Abby If Rosa insists on pushing this, it’s on her“?”
The brothers spoke in unison, cold and firm “Start tearing this place apart. Don’t leave a thing standing”
But before they could even finish, the doors burst open again and a cool commanding voice echoed through the hall i
