He Loved My Sister. I’m Better Off Without Him novel Chapter 20

Chapter 200

When I heard the word ‘No‘, my fingers tightened around the hem of my wedding dress. My heart skipped a beat. I looked up and saw Brian rushing toward me through the crowd.”

His hair was messy, while his eyes were filled with panic that was never seen. He looked almost like the Brian I once knew, the one who used to comfort me when I cried. But so what?

The priest’s gentle voice still echoed in my ears. Instead of looking at Brian, I turned my gaze to Mark beside me. Mark’s expression was calm. There was a faint, reassuring gaze beneath his eyes. He lightly patted the back of my hand, silently giving me strength.”

I drew in a deep breath and spoke clearly, “I do.“N

Mark’s warm fingers wrapped around mine, holding me steady.”

The very next moment, the atmosphere shifted. A cold, sharp tension filled the air as Mark turned his head to Brian. His voice carrying a trace of mocking amusement as he asked, “Do you have a habit of stealing brides?“”

“Lilian is my fiancée!”

Brian grabbed my wrist so hard it hurt. His eyes burned with anger as he glared at Mark. His voice was filled with rage, like he was claiming ownership over me.

Mark let out a short laugh, his tone cutting and sarcastic as he responded, “Aren’t you engaged to Adeline, the eldest daughter of the Wyatt Family? Why are you here, making a scene at my and Lilian’s wedding?”

“Don’t think you can marry Lilian just because you used dirty tricks to lure her here!“}

After that, Brian turned to me as he desperately plead, “Lilian, come with me. You’re mine!”

I let my voice rise as I looked at everyone so that they could hear me clearly.

“It’s written in contract. Adeline was the one meant to marry you. And today, I am the one marrying Mark.”

“That’s a lie!”

Brian’s eyes went bloodshot as he roared, staring at me like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.”

“You don’t love him! You love me! You’ve only known him for a few days. So, how could you possibly love him?”

A bitter laugh escaped my lips, sharp and mocking.

“Brian, if I don’t even love my own husband, how could I ever love a man who sent me to prison, who chose to believe everyone else but me?”

A wave of whispers rippled through the crowd. The guests were shocked but stayed silent, but no one dared to step forward. Everyone knew Mark’s power and didn’t want to get involved.

Brian’s gaze snapped to Mark, angrily pointing at him as Brian accused, “Did you try to threaten her?”

When Brian was about to lunge toward Mark, I quickly stepped between them and shoved Brian back. I knew that words alone wouldn’t stop him, so I made a quick decision. I walked over to Mark, intending to stand close enough to create the illusion of intimacy.

Perhaps then Brian would finally understand.

But before I could act, Mark suddenly leaned down. His hand slid to the back of my head. Then, his lips pressed against
