“Mr. Carter, your brother just called off his wedding. This means the will <b>is </b><b>still </b>unimed, and has fallen right into yourps. Congrattions, sir,” mywyer said into the phone after I answered the call and I instantly sat up, my eyes widened in utter shock.
“What?!”
Mywyer repeated those words, and then we spoke some more. After the call ended, my mind was reeling hard, and I was still so shocked out of my mind, but also happy as hell.
At the end of the day, I ended up achieving my end goal! I literally couldn’t believe my ears right now.
The happiness filling up my insides knew no bounds and it was unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. This was the reason I yed pretend boyfriend with Addison for five days, and despite not achieving this goal by the end of the five days, my goal still ended uping to pass at the end of the day, and right now, I was certain I was the happiest person on earth right now.
“What the fuck, dude? This calls for celebration!” My buddy, Fred, yelled after I broke the news to him once he came over. Fred is one of my closest friends and the one who knew the battle I had with my parents, while the rest of my friends just believed that I was just rebelling against my parents for no reason in particr. Fred is also my IT guy. We went to school together and have been friends since.
Fred popped open a champagne and Iughed heartily as he poured us a ss each.
“Here’s to you winning and winning!” He yelled and as we clinked our sses together, I felt grateful to have a friend as awesome as Fred.
As I downed my Champagne, my mind wandered. Mywyer imed Marco ended his wedding because he revealed his bride had been cheating on him. But I knew damn well that Marco knew Aisha had always been unfaithful but just didn’t care cause he never loved her, plus I was certain that had just been his excuse to end the wedding- the real reason was undoubtedly because of Addison.
I felt impressed, I wouldn’t lie. This means he must care about her way more than I realized, for him to readily kiss the Will goodbye by calling off the marriage because of Addison.
He was undoubtedly gonna go to Addidon now, and she’ll most definitely agree to be with him now.
“Oh shit.” I muttered audibly and Fred arched a brow at me.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“I just realized that Addison is gonna be with Marco now.” I muttered while Fred rolled his eyes,
“So? That’s none of your concern that the chick is that dumb. You’ve gotten what you wanted and that’s all that matters.<b>” </b>He muttered as he rolled his eyes.
I sipped on my champagne, while controlling myself against saying that Addison wasn’t dumb.

But I guess she’d be pretty dumb if she agrees to be with Marco once he returns to her.

Marco isn’t in love with her, he’s just in love with being loved by her, that is all. He still wouldn’t treat her right, and she’ll still end up getting her heart broken by him again.
I shook my head in disappointment as I downed the rest of my wine.
I had broken a rule the day I left Italy, which was yesterday. After waking up in that hotel room and getting ready to leave, I had left her a text, inviting her to reach out to me in order for me to rece her dress. I’ve never done that before cause that was me basically inviting her <i>to </i>contact me- for obvious reasons, when in the past, I used to vehemently be against that after the sex was over.
But at least now I was sure she wouldn’t be reaching out, not when Marco is undoubtedly back in her life and she’s undoubtedly feeling stupidly in love once again.
And that’s a good thing on my path. Retaining contact with her wasn’t a good idea, and it’s a good thing that wouldn’t be happening.
I should even feel good about this. Getting her together with Marco was what I promised her at the beginning of our pretense, and that’s what had ended up happening, which means them getting together would mostly be because of me cause I was certain it was me being all over Marco that made him assume he was losing being loved by her to me of all people, and clearly that was more important to him than the will.
I exhaled as I got to my feet. Well, that was none of my concern anyway. If he and Addison get together, <i>that’s </i>their business, and if Addison ends up regretting it, she’ll have to deal with it herself.
Marco looked roughed up when his face came up on zoom call, like he had aged ten years in days. Calling off a wedding in the middle of if clearly took its toil on him.
“Just because I called the wedding off doesn’t mean I’m no longer interested in the will. It’s Mine!” He growled hostily and I rolled my eyes.
“It initially belonged to me. And now, I’ve taken what belongs to me back. You and father should back off from it.” I stated calmly, eying my father’s face. He was on this zoom call as well, but had been silent since he joined.
“We’ll do no such thing! You still can’t fully im it even with the wedding called off, not with father still being against it. His signature and stamp of approval is needed, remember?” Marco taunted me and I rolled
my eyes.
“That’s why you both need to willingly back off, and father needs to put in his signature no matter what… else I’d go <i>to </i>the public with all the sweet juicy things I discovered from a little mouse.”
Marcoughed. “Threats? Seriously? Whatever you believe you discovered is gonna hold no water, I’m
certain.”
Instead of arguing with him, I pulled out a list, which contained all the dirt I got from Marco’s phone after snooping through it when Aisha helped me steal it for a little while.
my father didn’t look rxed anymore.

He looked furious right now, while a panicked looking Marco pointedly avoided his gaze.

I grinned when they both nced at me. Clearly I’ve gotten them exactly where I needed them at.
