There were also wigs of different lengths and colors that came along with the gown.
My tears fell as I looked at all these.
After the employee left, Ryan and Luke returned.
“Why do you insist on having the one Nancy was wearing when you have other gowns, Paige?”
“You’re not only unscrupulous, but you’re also full of jealousy. We won’t let your wish come true. We won’t marry you since you insist on being this way.”
They picked up a bag from the couch and left after that.
Ryan and Luke had only come back to pick up Nancy’s things.
I changed the password on the door and stood in front of a mirror while I tried on the gown Cole sent over. Tomorrow would be the day I wore it to marry Cole. I would just pretend that Nancy was the one who saved Ryan and Luke.
They did not return home that night, and I did not say anything about the groom being someone else.
…
The wedding started on time the next day.
My parents kept pushing me to change into my wedding gown and put on my makeup. After that, they stood on the wedding stage quietly.
Time passed, and the guests began to whisper among themselves. The groom had not arrived.
Both sets of parents began to look upset. My mom threw me a questioning look. However, there was more disappointment and anger in her eyes than bewilderment.
Just as everyone could no longer take it, the doors to the hall were pushed open.
I saw three figures that stood against the light.
Ryan and Luke stood on either side of Nancy, who was in the middle. She was wearing the wedding gown from yesterday.
“Have you been waiting long, Paige? This is our surprise for you. Do you like it?”
“You’re a scheming woman who bullies your sister constantly. You’re a troublemaker and took credit for something you didn’t do for five years, misleading us. Nancy has been suffering for the past five years. What right do you think you have to marry us, Paige?”
The reporters who had rushed to the venue began clicking away on their cameras. The camera flashes blinded my eyes.
I was thinking about my agreement with Cole when I took the microphone from the host’s hands. I responded to them coldly, “Ryan and Luke Sinclair, I never said that you’re the ones I’m going to marry.”
