Runaway Bride Chapter 1 Hell yes!

Henrietta's POV

By this time tomorrow, I'll be a married woman. It's hard to wrap my head around it.

Three years ago my parents introduced me to Peter, the love of my life.

He was from a very rich home and our families are doing business together.

I never thought I'll fall for him but he was sweet and treated me like a queen, buying me gifts and taking me on trips.

He never once commented on my curviness or my boring brown hair and eyes. He always called me beautiful.

So when my parents said we should get married I immediately said yes because Peter was perfect and I couldn't imagine my life with someone else.

I came from a modest home. We were comfortable and lived in harmony.

I'm the eldest out of three children, my sister Chloe and the last child Jack.

Chloe was my maid of honor in my wedding. We grew up like typical sisters. Fighting one moment, thick as thieves the next moment.

Where I'm voluptuous, Chloe is stick thin. She always attracted attention anywhere we went because she looked like a model.

Our parents also compared us a lot, 'why can't you be like Chloe?'

I had a little low self esteem as a result but Peter helped be realize that I am beautiful and smart regardless of what anybody thinks.

Speaking of Peter, I know the groom isn't supposed to see the bride before the wedding but I just missed him and really wanted to see him.

I snuck into his room in the hotel we are using for the wedding.I might have bribed the receptionist for his key. The things we do for love.

I walked on light feet because I wanted to surprise him. He's always doing nice things for me. I just said let me return the favor.

I heard voices so I slowed down at the hallway to his bedroom hoping I don't disturb his conversation .

I wasn't eaves dropping but my ears stood at attention when I heard my name.

"Henrietta is so stupid. She thinks I love her. I don't know where you guys got your sister from. She's fat and ugly. I can barely even carry her. How will we cope in bed? If she rides me I won't walk again" his chuckles mixed with a feminine voice.

I heard Peter say to who I guessed was Chloe. My suspicions were correct when she said," come on baby she's still my sister"

Baby?

"she's stupid that's just a fact. If not for my father saying I have to marry the first born, I'd have gone for you. You're more my type than that elephant"

His words tore open my heart and silent tears rolled down my face.

My sister giggled and then I heard strange noises like they were kissing.

But that can't be right. My sister would never betray me. Right?

I stuck my head out to see into the room and my heart stuttered to a stop.

She was on his lap wearing only a thong. And he was buck naked.

"can you believe that in three years your sister only allowed me to kiss her? Just kisses. If not for you I'd have died of blue balls long time ago"

"I remember the quickie we had in the bathroom next to her room. The day you first came to the house to sign the papers. Do you remember?"

"I can't forget that day. You had on this tight red dress, you were just enticing me with your body throughout the dinner" he kissed her shoulder while his hands roamed her body

They have been together that long? He said it was fine to wait! He said it's best we waited till we got married.

I've been a fool all along.

My heart broke into a million pieces and I managed to hold in my sobs so I don't alert them.

"are we going to continue this when you get married?" Chloe asks while kissing his neck.

"hell yes! How do you want me to survive? Look the moment we get married I'll tell her you need to stay with us so she's not lonely" he replied her.

She just giggled, not even trying to defend me and I realized that they have been playing with my feelings.

Their movements got more heated and I decided to record them in the act.

They will know who's stupid tomorrow.

I can't get married after hearing this. They will have to cancel the wedding.

I recorded a five minute video. Just torturing myself, watching them together.

It made me realize that they know every inch of each other.

He knew exactly where to touch to get her to moan like crazy.

Their sounds grated on my ears, making my tears to fall faster and my heart to beat even faster.

I started to see spots so I left the room before I could go in and confront them.

I quietly left the room, locking the door on my way out.

I took the elevator back to my floor and went into my room.

I collapsed on the bed, hyperventilating and thinking I'll pass out.

I cried myself to sleep thinking of what to do next.

I contemplated calling my mother but all she will say is 'just leave her. She's your junior sister she doesn't know better'

I have always been blamed for Chloe's messes even as we are full grown adults.

My parents never supported me in anything I did.

I earned more than Chloe, I had my own house already but I am never good enough.

Now my future husband has been hijacked by Chloe, just like all my other boyfriends.

I dragged my hand through my hair, accidentally hooking my ring in it.

I removed the ring and stared at it.

An object I wore proudly for a long time. Now all it brings are bad memories.

I fell asleep after sending the video to someone else. The wedding will go on.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
