His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 146

"I almost got married to Aron four years ago." Autumn was startled by Isla's words. It was not until then that Autumn realized, they had developed such an intimate relationship with each other.

"I got the chance to meet him at a dancing party. I found out that he had lost his parents when he was just a child, and that he was brought up by his grandparents. It was said that his family was very notable, but the real reason I was attracted to him was... I found that he was very devoted to doing charity work, and the second time I met him was at an orphanage charity event." Isla looked so radiant when she talked about this to Autumn; even her eyes flickered with light. "I often peered at him secretly during the event. Somehow, the director of the orphanage discovered my secret. Since then he always intentionally assigned us into the same group. Time passed and finally he asked me to date him."

Isla was cheerful as she spoke and then she went on, "You can't imagine how excited I was when I got the phone call from him. I asked my sister to go shopping with me to buy some new clothes for the date. But my sister insisted on going with me because she wanted to see what kind of man he really was. I thought it might be awkward for me to go on the date alone, so I brought my sister along with me. But I never expected that..." Isla smiled bitterly. She didn't expect that it would be the start of her nightmares.

"I got along very well with Aron at the beginning and he also took good care of me. Even though my sister Becky always made various excuses to go out with me and be the gooseberry, she did not cause any troubles for us. But everything changed on Becky's birthday, four years ago." Isla looked so distressed when she talked about this, but she understood that she had to let it go, and that she would have to learn to face reality sooner or later.

"At the time, I had already taken Aron to meet my parents and all of my family members were satisfied with him. They all said that he was a nice person and that he would also make a good husband. Every person in the village received the news that I had found a good boyfriend." Isla paused for a few seconds and then continued, "My dad lived frugally when he was young so as to save money for my aunt's tuition fees. He encouraged my aunt to go to college even though he was very poor at that time. I don't know what happened during her college years, but she got married as soon as she graduated from college. Although my aunt's husband is much older than her, he is rich. After they got married, my aunt hardly went back to see my dad. She lives in Y City now with her husband. If I hadn't been working in Y city, perhaps I would have already severed my ties with her.

"On the contrary, I had a good relationship with my cousin, Becky. She often invited me for meals or to go shopping with her. Of course, Aron would go with me every time. I have to admit that I was really silly at that time. It was not until then that I realized Becky also loved Aron." Isla forced smile on her face when she said that. "It was Becky's birthday, when I found a new job and just received my salary. I really appreciated Becky's kindness towards me, so I spent a whole month's salary buying her a bottle of perfume. I knew that it was not a big deal for her, but that little gift was a token of my appreciation.

When we arrived at her house, I found that she had only invited Aron and me. She said that she didn't want it to be very high-profile and I agreed with her as well.

But I could have never expected, what happened later. I was drunk after drinking a glass of wine and when I finally woke up I found myself lying on the couch, while my aunt was there, reading the newspaper leisurely." Isla couldn't stop trembling when she recalled the scenes from her past. Although it happened four years ago, she could still clearly remember the domineering look of her aunt. "Isla I know that you are going to get married to Aron soon, and I am happy for you, but..."
