The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride (By Tessa Wren) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

After pushing through the pain and getting her wounds treated at the hospital, Emma took the prescription and headed to the pharmacy window–only to spot a few familiar figures outside the next ward.

Isaac, Anthony, and Mateo were standing outside Janet’s room, their faces full of worry and heartache.

“I’ve said it before, Janet’s too soft. If she stays there, she’s just going to keep suffering. Once the marriage is finalized, I’ll find a way to get her out, no matter what. I don’t want her to go through this anymore.”

“Now that our parents know Janet’s the one we really care about, we have to make sure she’s protected. So no matter who Emma chooses, that has to accept the marriage and go along with it. That’s the only way the family won’t come after Janet guy

Emma stood there quietly, listening to every word, and suddenly felt her chest tighten.

So this was why they had gone along with the marriage in the previous life even when they clearly did not want to.

They thought they were protecting someone they loved even if it meant sacrificing their own happiness.

Yet, in doing so, they wrecked hers.

She looked down and laughed bitterly, tears blurring her vision.

They could relax this time as no one would have to sacrifice anything.

Once she collected herself, she wiped away her tears and turned to leave–only for her phone alarm to go off suddenly.

The sharp ringtone startled the three men. When they opened the door and saw her standing there, they all froze in surprise.

“You’re here? Are you planning to apologize to Janet?”

“How much did you hear just now?”

“What’s with all those injuries? What happened to you?”

They all spoke at once, questions flying at her.

Emma answered calmly, one by one. “I got hurt because you pushed me aside to get to Janet. I came here to get treatment, not to apologize. She spilled the hot coffee on me first, and I pushed her away. Running into you here was just a coincidence.
