I Watched My Fiancé Marry His So-Called Sister
Chapter 4
A wave of anger rushed straight to my head, and I lunged at Luna without a second thought.
She didn’t fight back; instead, she called out to Pietro in the hallway for help.
“Gaia! Stop right now!”
Pietro and several employees hurried over, pulled me away, and then his hand struck my face.
“Have you lost your mind?”
“Why did you hit Luna?” He shouted in anger.
Ignoring the numbness spreading across my cheek and the blood at the corner of my lips, I pointed to the broken pieces on the floor and asked, “Why did you give her the sapphire pendant?”
Pietro froze. “Luna’s condition, both body and mind, hasn’t been good. I thought something bad might be clinging to her, so I lent it to her for a while.”
He clearly knew what that pendant meant to me, and his voice wavered slightly.
“I’m sorry, Brother Pietro, I didn’t mean to.”
Luna cried as she twisted the truth. “I saw Gaia searching through the office, so I went over to stop her, but she got angry and started hitting and yelling at me.”
“While we were struggling, the sapphire pendant fell and broke.”
Seeing her like that, Pietro’s heart softened toward her, and he immediately raised his voice to defend her. “If you hadn’t been snooping around, would the pendant have shattered? If you want someone to blame, blame yourself.”
“To take revenge on Luna, you even destroyed your own grandfather’s keepsake, how cruel.”
“I never realized before how fake you truly are.”
Just like before, no matter what I said or what Luna said, Pietro always chose to believe her.
At that moment, Rebecca came after hearing the noise.
I thought she might say something for me, or at least ask what had happened.
But after hearing only one side, she immediately scolded me. “Gaia, that’s not right. How could you treat Luna that way?”
“You should show some kindness.”
So, this was how it was.
Everything I had given could never match a few words from Luna in front of Pietro and the Moretti family. I was always the outsider.
So I stayed silent, lowered my head, gathered the broken pieces of the sapphire pendant, and walked away as everyone watched.
Behind me, Rebecca’s voice sounded. “Pietro, go talk things out with Gaia.”
Pietro did follow me, but his face darkened. His tone was cold as he said, “Luna can’t handle emotional pressure. Don’t stir up any problems before the wedding.”
“Go find someone to decorate the wedding house.”
“I won’t be home for a few days. I’m going with Luna to take wedding photos.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
“Never again,” I whispered softly, then met with the agent and buyer, signing the house sale contract right there.
Aside from a few clothes and documents, I took nothing else from that house.
As planned, I returned to the capital with my father.
At the same time, I slowly withdrew all the quiet help I had been giving to the Moretti family.
Seven days later, Luna came smiling to pick up the bride, and that was when Rebecca finally understood what was happening. She froze for a moment, and her face quickly turned dark with anger.
“Mom! This is all for Luna’s good. You wouldn’t want her to stay sad and down every day, right? Besides, Gaia doesn’t mind.”
Pietro tried to convince her.
Hearing that, Rebecca paused for a moment before letting out a long sigh. “Then we’ll have to wrong Gaia this time.”
The wedding went on as planned. The ceremony continued, and the motorcade headed toward the wedding house with drums and gongs.
But as soon as they reached the entrance of the neighborhood, the security guard stopped them. “No one’s getting married here lately. Did you come to the wrong place?”
“Huh?”
Pietro frowned. “Didn’t the owner of Building 6, Unit 6, Room 606, Gaia, let you know in advance?”
His tone was clearly impatient.
“According to our records, the owner of 606 has already sold the house. The last name isn’t Rossi anymore, it’s Conti.”
The security guard answered.
“What?”
Pietro’s expression changed instantly. “That’s impossible! I’m her boyfriend, how could I not know she sold the house?”
