Chapter 9 That night , Tyler Horton called me multiple times , but I didnt answer . He left a haughty voicemail : Elizabeth , youre in no position to play hard to get with me . Get back here now . I turned off my phone and tossed it aside , completely ignoring him . Over the next month , I stayed at Jeff Vinces villa , focusing on my recovery . As time passed without a word from me , Tyler grew increasingly impatient . His messages became more frequent and aggressive : Elizabeth , are you using this child to threaten me ? Im warning you after what youve done to Sarah , dont even think about negotiating with me ! Dont make me resort to force . Reading his texts , I couldnt help but laugh . His arrogance was absurd , almost comedic . He still believed himself to be perched on a high moral pedestal , accusing and trampling me for crimes I never committed . Meanwhile , he shamelessly justified his betrayal with Sarah as if it were nothing . Tyler Horton , lets see how long your arrogance lasts . A month later , my body had fully recovered . Jeff easily pulled some strings to obtain my ID from the Horton family . Not long after , he personally drove me to the civil affairs office . Ha Forgot It Ho Porroted it When the staff handed me the small red booklet , it felt surreal . Jeff , we dont need to take this so far . Pretending to be married wouldve been enough , I said , hesitant . Jeff carefully tucked the marriage certificate away and took my hand . I never said we were pretending . strange warmth coursed through me , but I dared not define it . Everything had happened so fast , like a beautiful yet fragile dream . The things Tyler Horton had denied me an official marriage certificate , a white wedding dress Jeff had given me , one by one , with care and sincerity . But I had fallen too hard under Tylers betrayal . Once bitten , twice shy . If a man I had loved for ten years could betray me so easily , how could I trust someone who had appeared suddenly and whose motives were unclear ? Even with our shared past and his years of silent care , I questioned the authenticity of Jeffs feelings . What if this was just another elaborate trap ? In the following days , Jeff personally oversaw every detail of our wedding preparations . From the dress to the rings to the venue , everything was meticulously planned . A month later , the wedding was held at Vince Villa , surrounded by a crowd of distinguished guests . Under everyones gaze , Jeff bent down to take my hand and helped me step out of an elegant carriage . I was dressed in a white satin gown , crafted to perfection , like a blooming camellia . L 14:52 He Forgot It . He Regreted It With my arm linked in Jeffs , we walked gracefully toward the altar , accompanied by the murmurs of the guests . Isnt that bride familiar ? Isnt she Tyler Hortons wife ? I went to their wedding just months ago ! Yeah , it really does look like her … But I havent heard anything about her divorcing Tyler . Wow , there must be some juicy story behind this … Jeff and I ignored the whispers , our expressions calm as we passed by Sarah Carlisle and Tyler Horton . Sarahs face , despite the meticulous makeup , couldnt mask the pallor caused by her health issues after the removal of her ovaries . Tyler , on the other hand , stared at me with wide eyes , gripping his wine glass tightly . His disbelief was written all over his face . The ceremony proceeded in an orderly fashion . Finally , the moment came for Jeff and me to exchange rings . Just as we were about to complete the ritual , a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd : Stop ! I object !
