Chapter 4 That night , the wedding dress Alexander had specially flown in from overseas finally arrived at the house . Alexander's parents set the table with a bunch of dishes to welcome Olivia and Katie . I told everyone I wasn't feeling well yet and stayed in my room to rest . But the whole family's laughter from downstairs still reached my ears , no matter how hard I tried to block it out . Alexander's father , Howard Martinez , was busy piling food onto Katie's plate . He tried to keep her entertained with a doll . Alexander's mother , Maria Martinez , and Alexander were with Olivia , helping her try on the wedding dress . They kept showering her with compliments , one after another . Olivia stood in the middle of the living room , smiling with joy . All the pain I'd been holding inside finally exploded . I rushed back to my room , stumbling as I went . But being blind , I couldn't even pack my suitcase properly . The moment my suitcase hit the floor , Olivia suddenly showed up right in front of me . Her high heel came down hard on the back of my hand . I broke into a sweat from the pain , but she leaned down and whispered softly in my ear . " Veronica Cruz , long time no see . " You already know who I am , don't you ? " Back then , I accidentally hit Alexander with my car and hurt his eyes . You gave him my corneas and left me blind . Did you ever think I'd come back ? " And even more , that he'd dig out your eyes himself just to get revenge for me ! Watching you lose everything you once had , and having to swallow your pride , almost makes me feel bad for you ! " I tried to get up , but her high heel pressed harder and harder on the back of my hand . Before I could even say anything , Olivia suddenly ripped the wedding dress right off herself . Then she twisted her foot and fell hard right beside me . 0.0 % 09.16 Chapter 4 I still had no clue what was going on . But Alexander's voice , full of rage , already cut through the air . " Veronica , what are you doing ? Have you lost it ? " Liv came up here just to let you check if the dress needed any changes . What's wrong with you ? " Howard and Maria looked at me like they couldn't stand me . Olivia leaned weakly on his shoulder , looking frail . 288 ( Vouchers " I'm sorry . I just thought since Ronnie can't see the dress , I'd let her feel the fabric . I don't know what I said that upset her . I didn't mean to make her react like that ... " Don't blame Ronnie . She didn't mean it . " I was lying on the floor , bruised and helpless , a cold laugh curling at the corner of my lips . " Me ? Going crazy ? Alexander , why would I lose it like that ? Don't you already know the truth ? " Don't you owe me an explanation about the kidnapping case ? " Alexander frowned , his voice tightening . " Explanation for what ? I was the one who rescued you when you were kidnapped . What does any of that have to do with Olivia ? " She not only agreed to help you adopt the child , but she even tried on the wedding dress and will be there for you on your big day . And instead of being grateful , you attacked her ? How could you do that ? " Before I could even respond , his parents had already turned cold . " A blind woman and still acting out ? Do you really think you're still the Cruz family's precious daughter ? " " Who else would ever want you besides my son ! " " Let her be alone to think . Don't waste time on her . Being blind is her punishment . Take Liv somewhere else for the next couple of days . We'll take care of Katie . " Blood trickled slowly from my eye sockets . Alexander didn't even look at me again . He helped Olivia up and walked her out of the house . Five years of love - gone in an instant , reduced to dust .

Instead , I got a video of him at the amusement park with Olivia and Katie . For two days straight , the topic of his doting on his new wife stayed at the top of the trending list . I didn't hesitate any longer . I went straight to the police station and asked the kidnappers to give another statement . Then I sent everything to Alexander . On the day of the wedding , Alexander stared at the message on his phone that had never gotten a reply . A faint sense of uneasiness started to creep up on him . Just as he was about to make a phone call . His assistant burst into the hall with a paper in hand , looking completely pale . " Bad news , Mr. Martinez ! Ms. Cruz found out about the kidnapping case , and something's happened to her ! " 09.16
