The Wedding Became Mom's Funeral

Three years ago, my younger sister, Renee White, and I secretly married the two brothers of the Kain family.

I married the elder brother, Adam Kain, who is the president of the Kain group, and Renee married the younger one, Bowen Kain, who is the vice president.

Our mother traveled for three days on a hard seat just to attend our wedding before she passed away.

I knelt in front of the Kain family's door for two days without eating or drinking, begging Adam to agree to play along with us.

But when it was his turn to appear, no matter how loudly I shouted, I didn't see his figure.

Even his younger brother, Bowen, didn't show up.

Our mother fainted on the spot out of anxiety. Renee held her in her arms and cried.

I trembled and called Adam, but he hung up on me three times before answering.

Hearing my anxious and nervous voice, he impatiently said.

"You always use your mother as an excuse. I have already agreed, so why would I run away? Maria has cut her hand and I have to take her to the hospital first! It's because of you that she got hurt! Can you stop bothering me at this time?"

The phone was hung up and I was blocked before I could say anything.

After hearing this, Renee immediately contacted her husband, Bowen, and begged him to come to the wedding.

But all she heard was a barrage of accusations.

"Don't you know the story of the boy who cried wolf? Why is it that every time something happens to Maria, your mom is dying? I've had enough of your acting! I have to pay the hospital bills, don't waste my time!"

At the moment the call was hung up, my mother took her last breath in Renee's arms.

The wedding turned into my mother's funeral.

Renee and I handled her affairs together.

We also sent a message to the Kain brothers about the divorce.

But they brought Maria back to our home.

——

By the time we finished dealing with my mother's affairs, it was already dark outside.

I returned home with Renee, where we finally had the chance to help each other take off the rented cheap wedding dresses.

It had been ten hours since I sent the message about divorce.

There was no response.

This was not the first time they had abandoned us for Maria.

I never thought that even if it was related to our divorce, we would be behind their haunting crush, Maria.

During the three years of marriage, whenever Adam and I were alone, all sorts of accidents would happen to Maria.

Common little problems that happened to Maria were always a catastrophe for the Kain family's two men.

Renee has turned to me for help countless times.

At first, I questioned him and made a fuss, but the facts later told me that our positions were predetermined from the moment of our secret marriage.

After we packed our belongings and mother's old clothes and were ready to leave, they finally came back.

Maria was obediently following behind them, waiting for them to fetch her slippers.

The laughter of them came to a sudden halt when they saw me and Renee.

Adam's eyes flashed an impatient annoyance, and he spoke coldly.

"Where are you going? What's wrong with you again? Haven't I already explained today's matter to you?"

He looked at me with complete indifference, ignoring my red and swollen eyes from exhaustion.

His voice became increasingly impatient.

"Come on, this wedding was just a charade, and Maria happened to get hurt. I had no choice I'll just make it up to you later!

"Besides, if it weren't for your mother coming over, she wouldn't have thought of making a dish, and she even cut her finger! I haven't held it against you, what are you making a fuss about? It's enough!"

Renee squeezed my hand tighter and harder, trembling slightly.

Bowen, who was standing next to Adam, didn't bother to explain anything.

He bent down to pick up Maria's slippers and even helped her put them on.

Maria looked at us with her luggage in hand and turned to Adam with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Adam, it's all my fault for delaying your wedding."

She then turned to me and explained.

"Bonnie, why are you bringing your luggage out? I got hurt and bled a lot today. I was so scared, so I told them, but I didn't expect them to make such a big deal out of it and take me to the hospital. You know I don't have any friends here..."

I stared at the small bandage on her finger and suddenly felt both pitiful and ridiculous.

"If you don't mind, I can tell you when I'm in trouble. Will you be my sister? I've always felt that you are very kind to me!"

As she spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were filled with indescribable pride.

In an instant, the image of my mother gasping for breath appeared before my eyes.

I gripped my nails so hard into my palms that the pain forced me to stay awake.

"I have a younger sister named Renee, so please don't regard me as your sister."

Adam's face turned completely dark, anger swirling in his eyes.

"What attitude is that? Apologize to Maria immediately! She got hurt and still insisted on making that stupid dish. Are you grateful to her for that?"

I glanced at the thermos box in his hand and curled my lip into a cold smile.

"I'm grateful to anyone, but only sorry for myself. Let's get a divorce. I'm tired."

His angry expression froze on his face, unable to believe that the word "divorce" would come out of my mouth.

My usually reserved sister, Renee, also bravely spoke up to Bowen.

"We're also getting a divorce."

This suffocating family home was a place we couldn't stand for even a minute.

Bowen's gesture of helping Maria take off her shoes came to a sudden halt, and he stood up in shock.
