Chapter 1 I had just changed into my exquisite custom - made wedding dress and finished my makeup , waiting in the luxurious top - tier suite of the hotel for Evan Daxton to arrive and take me to the ceremony . ] My best friend and bridesmaid , Lexi Briggs , looked at me with envy written all over her face . " Lily , you're absolutely stunning today . " [ ] " It's alright , " I replied , smiling . " Finally , the tough times are over . Marrying Evan Daxton is a million times better than marrying that ungrateful , heartless Gavin Duke , isn't it ? " " From now on , it's all smooth sailing for you . Get ready to enjoy life as Mrs. Daxton , the wife of the wealthiest man ! " ]] I couldn't help but laugh at Lexi's words , just as I was about to respond , the door was kicked open with a loud bang . Following the sound , I turned to see none other than my ex - boyfriend , Gavin Duke , barging in . [ ] He stormed into the room with a group of men and women trailing behind him , pointing at me and yelling . ] " I didn't believe it when someone told me they saw you here , but it's really you ! " [ ] " Lily Gilbert , do you have no shame ? " [ ] " Today is my wedding day with Rose Gilbert . We've already broken up , and you're dressed like this - what do you think you're doing ? " ] I glanced down at my elegant , custom - made wedding dress , momentarily confused about what he meant . Was he saying that he and my half - sister , Rose , were also getting married today ? Before I could explain , the group that Gavin had brought started mocking me . Judging by their attire , they seemed to be part of Gavin and Rose's wedding party . " Everyone knows Duke has it all - these women just can't help but cling to him . " " Even though Duke is getting married , she still won't give up . Dressing like this , hoping he'll change his mind . " ] " But , hey , it's understandable . Women , especially those with a bit of beauty , are best at spreading their legs to secure a better life . " The last comment was particularly vulgar , drawing laughter from the men in the group . [ ] I cast a cold glance at Gavin . [ ] " I've already cut ties with my family . I didn't even know you and Rose were getting married today . " [ ] " I'm here because it's my wedding day as well . " [] " My husband will be here soon , so I'd appreciate it if you'd all leave now . " ] Hearing this , Gavin's face filled with disdain , as if he thought I was just making it up . " Hahaha ! You ? Getting married ? To whom ? Those mountain kidnappers ? " " How long has it been since we broke up ? Who could you possibly marry ? " ]] " Besides , this is my wedding venue . You're conveniently here , and you expect me to believe that ? " [ ] Lexi , furious at Gavin's arrogance , shouted at them . ] " Don't you understand plain English ? Lily is marrying Evan Daxton today . What does it have to do with you ? " ] " Do you even know who Evan Daxton is ? The only son of the Daxton family - the wealthiest family ! " ] " Think twice about causing trouble here . Do you think you can afford to provoke the Daxton family ? " } ] Lexi's words brought a moment of silence to the room . Gavin Duke's sneering laughter shattered it . ] " Hahaha , did you just say Evan Daxton ? " Do you even know where the Daxton family's gates are ? Do you think someone like you could ever come close to them ? " " This is hilarious . If you actually marry Evan Daxton , I'll get on my knees and bow to you three times . " ] It was true - the Daxton family was a prestigious clan , leagues above the likes of the nouveau riche Duke family . In their eyes , the Daxton family was akin to a deity . How could someone like me possibly marry Evan Daxton ? Cry at My GRAVE 2464 Chapter 1 The onlookers snapped out of their silence , laughing along with Gavin . ] " Exactly ! As if Evan Daxton would marry someone like you ! " [ ] " If I were Evan , with so many women to choose from , why would I settle for you ? " ] " Have you lost your mind since Gavin dumped you ? " ] Gavin's gaze shifted between Lexi and the groomsmen , and an unpleasant smirk spread across his face . ] " Your bridesmaid here doesn't look half bad . Since she's your bridesmaid and my groomsmen are here , why not let them interact a bit ? " ] " Come on , brothers . This little girl has a sharp tongue . Let's play a little wedding game with her . " [] Gavin's suggestion immediately excited the groomsmen . They rubbed their hands together and moved toward Lexi ]
