Chapter 1 On my wedding day , my brother threw a glass of red wine on my wedding dress . " Aurora , you know perfectly well Stella is in love with Gideon , so why the hell are you making such a spectacle of this wedding ! " [ ] My fiancé , his face a mask of indifference , leaned against the doorframe and said in a low , hard voice . [ ] " I'll give you two choices . One , you walk down the aisle in that stained dress . " [] Two , you go apologize to Stella right now . If you can get her to calm down , I'll tell everyone the wedding's postponed . " [ ] But I didn't choose either . ] ] 1 chose a third option . Wearing my ruined wedding dress , I stood before all our friends and family and announced that my engagement to Gideon Bernard was over . ] ] Brother , fiancé , sister . I was done with all of them . [ ] But right after I left , I heard the news - the heads of Chicago's two most powerful families had both lost their minds . [] They scoured the globe for the world's most elite designers , desperately only trying to restore a wedding dress stained with red wine . [ ] -0 When Felix Durand stormed into the dressing room , I had just slipped into the wedding gown I'd treasured for ten years . [ ] Before I could even admire myself in the mirror , the young man who shared my face kicked the door wide open . [ ] " Aurora ! Are you out of your damn mind ? I warned you a dozen times , but you still insisted on having this stupid ceremony ! " [ ] " You know damn well Stella loves Gideon too . Are you trying to break her heart on purpose ? Do you have any idea how hysterical she is right now , crying her eyes out at home ? " ] He roared at me , utterly enraged , completely missing the way the delight in my eyes flickered and died . ] ] Of course . It was all about Stella . [ ] I was at a loss . The heavy , ornate gown restricted my movements , a constant reminder that today was not the day for a fight . ] With a soft sigh , I held back the sharp retort I would have normally thrown at Felix . Instead , I lifted my head and said with an unusual calm . ] " Felix , can we not do this ? Please , not today . I'm getting married . I just want to be happy . " [ ] Felix's expression only soured . He scoffed , taking two steps closer . [ ] " Aurora , could you stop being so selfish for once ? It's just a wedding . Is it really more important than Stella's feelings ? " [ ] " She's so sweet and understanding , forcing herself to wish you and Gideon well even though it's tearing her apart ! All she asked was that you didn't make such a huge deal of it ! A simple dinner with our families would have been fine ! Why do you have to be so damn stubborn ? " [ ] His entitled tone made my hands tremble with rage . So much for the " special day " -I shot right back . [ ] " I'm the one getting married , so what's so wrong with wanting a real wedding ? Who cares if Stella's upset ? Why the hell should I have to pay the price for her drama ? " " You shut your mouth ! Stella is your sister too ! It's your job to take care of her and put her first ! " My vision swam . I practically screamed , " Sister ? She's your sister , not mine ! My mother only had one daughter ! " ] You shut up ! " ] Ice - cold red wine streamed from my hair , staining my snow - white dress a deep crimson . In that instant , both Felix and I froze on the spot . He seemed to finally snap back to his senses , the hand holding the empty wine glass trembling . " A Aurora , I didn't ... " ] My Sister Cut My Food Money to $ 300 While Spending $ 30K on Ba ? Time to Make Her INTERNET FAMOUSI Chapter 1 He frantically grabbed a napkin from the table and fumbled to wipe my face , but I flinched away . Like my soul had left my body , I stared down at the dark red stain spreading across my chest and fell into a long , heavy silence . [ ] Wine continued to drip from my hair . Felix , perhaps thinking it was too undignified , forcefully pressed the napkin to my forehead ] " Heh - Felix , why are you even bothering with her ? " [ ] " I told you all we shouldn't have a wedding . She conspired with my parents to force me here , and now Stella's been crying for hours ! Maybe it's time she learned a lesson . " Felix and I both looked toward the door , where Gideon Bernard had appeared at some point . He was leaning against the frame , a cigarette dangling from his lips , a cold smirk on his face . [ ] I suddenly realized he wasn't even wearing his tuxedo . [] He had on a white jacket with a crudely painted teddy bear on the chest . [ ] It was the birthday gift Stella had given him last year .
