Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1015

Eric’s sister’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt. She stared at her so-called relatives in disbelief. “What are you doing? Huh? Dad, your son is dead. Big brothers, your little brother is dead! What does he owe you? Nothing! All of those things belong to him. You don’t have the right to take them, even if he brings them to his grave! Some people are so ugly, it’s nauseating! Being a part of this family sickens me!”

The two older Nathaniel brothers were still holding on to the hope of inheriting Eric’s assets. Only Mr. Nathaniel contemplated this. Then, he sighed. “All of you, shut up! Forget it. We shouldn’t have come here today. Let him be…”

Vicky could tell that something was amiss. Only then did she realize that Eric was dead. She crumpled onto the bench listlessly, her entire body trembling. The man who had been laughing, chatting, eating, and sleeping with her just a few months ago was truly dead… He was gone from this world.

Suddenly, she realized that she had made a huge mistake. She never really wanted money or any form of material possessions. She just wanted something from him to hold onto, during his last moments. She had refused to face the truth. She wanted to be the most important person in the world to him, but he severed ties with her immediately after receiving a definite diagnosis. She dearly wished that Eric would have asked her to spend his final moments with him…

She still couldn’t understand why he wanted to leave her, even at the end. It’s true that she had lied, she had hidden her real identity from him, but her feelings for him were real. Now that he was dead, money or material possessions suddenly lost all of their importance.

She just couldn’t accept this…

Mr. Nathaniel and Eric’s sister left in succession, leaving the two Nathaniel brothers behind. They turned their attention to Vicky. “How long have you and Eric broken up? What if you faked a pregnancy? Wouldn’t that settle everything? With a kid, we’ll definitely have a chance at getting Eric’s possessions!”

Vicky lifted her head and stared at them blurrily. Their ugly faces nauseated her. She didn’t answer. Instead, she stared into space like a lost soul.

Vicky allowed her cheeks to grow red and swollen from the pain. “I just thought that I was the most important person in the world to him. That I should be the one to stay with him during the last moments of his life. I never thought that I’d end up lesser than all of you, his friends. He was only afraid of being alone and wanted to get married. That’s why he started dating me. He didn’t love me. He didn’t break up with me after the diagnosis for my own good. He just… never loved me…”

Arianne fell silent. Only Eric knew what he was really thinking. Perhaps he had worked hard for his future and looked forward to it, once. That’s why he had worked so hard at his job. He wanted to have a home of his own, a warm and loving home. That diagnosis on a piece of paper served as a sharp warning. He had experienced disappointment and destitution from his biological family, left them, and regained hope… Hope and disappointment twisted and turned on repeat in his life. Finally, today, it was all at an end, signed with a jagged full stop.

When she returned to her senses, Arianne realized that the Nathaniel brothers were still hanging around. “What are you still doing here? Hoping to get beaten up?” she snapped icily.
