Chapter 18
It was the wedding day with Jessica wearing an embellished white gown from a luxurious brand.
Jessica, this is the necklace passed down from generation to generation in the Dawson family. Even though I have not given birth to you but I consider you to be my one and only daughter.”
Unlike my wedding where my biological parents refused to spend even a single penny my biological mother Diana Dawson did not left any stone unturned for Jessica, even the twin elder brothers of the Dawson family gifted a mansion to her.
Soon it was time to take the vows with Jessica standing at the altar waiting for Alex to arrive amidst guests who looked forward to the day.
The banquet hall, adorned with flowers and decorations, felt suffocatingly silent except for the rustle of her dress when even after waiting an hour there were no signs
of Alex.
Jessica stood pale with Diana Dawson and her husband Jacob Dawson standing stiffly.
“She got stood up at the wedding didn’t she?”
“What do you even know, the groom was Alex Giovanni, why would a Giovanni marry an adopted daughter of Dawsons?”
“She belongs to the countryside so it’s no surprise that she is being detested.”
“What do you even know, she is a homewrecker and climbed the bed of her sister’s husband. Now she is pregnant and Alex is forced to get married to her, both of them are disgusting thus they make a good couple.
If only Elena had listened to me and had let me deal with this bitch earlier all this would have never happened.”
Jacob Dawson thought that it was just a malicious slander that I spread as rumors regarding Jessica.
He could only swallow the insult with a red face when he saw it was the prestigious young miss of the Stone household, my childhood best friend Erica thus all his anger was poured over Jessica instead.
“Are you going to make a joke of our household?! Call Alex now!” Jessica’s lips trembled as she cried looking at our mother’s face for support.
“Jacob-”
“Shutup!” Mother tried to reason with him only to be scolded infront of all the guests

the man with a leave when he saw it was the presu young miss of the Stone household, my childhood best friend Erica thus all his anger was poured over Jessica instead.
“Are you going to make a joke of our household?! Call Alex now!” Jessica’s lips trembled as she cried looking at our mother’s face for support.
“Jacob-”
“Shutup!” Mother tried to reason with him only to be scolded infront of all the guests
thus she too looked at Jessica sternly.
Glancing at her phone for the hundredth time with no calls and messages Jessica dialed Alex with trembling fingers only for her call to disconnect automatically.
He had blocked her. Astonished by this development Jessica called Giovanni office, connecting to Alex’s uncle.
“Uncle..Uncle please where is Alex-”
“Where is your fucking nephew?!” Jessica was interupped halfway as my father snatched the phone from her hand, wishing to show everyone a solid proof of what kind of ruthless people Giovanni’s were.
He turned the phone to speaker mode and recorded the call so he could ask for compensation from Alex’s grandfather.
“What is the meaning of this?!!“he gritted his teeth in rage.
“Mr Dawson.” came Thomas’s cold voice. “The wedding is off. Alex is not coming.”
My father’s blood ran cold. “What do you mean, It’s off? We are not some beggars! Giovanni’s can’t just call the wedding off an hour before!”
The silence that followed was deafening. Jessica’s hands clenched into fists, her carefully applied makeup threatening to smudge as tears pricked her eyes. “Wedding is off?” Her body quivered as my father continued shouting profanities.
“Do you think this is some kind of a joke?! The Giovanni’s-”
“What about us? didn’t your good adopted daughter tell you thrown Alex out of the Giovanni family?”
that my father has already
“W–What?” My mother’s face paled as she looked at my father getting angry each passing second.
“I am happy that Elena was not raised by you husband and wife or gods knows how she would have been corrupted by your disgusting morals!”
Are you not even aware what kind of heinous deeds Jessica has done? Conspiring against her own sister, she was already pregnant with Alex’s child and became his mistress when he was married!”

against her own sister, she was already pregnant with Alex’s child and became his mistress when he was married!”
“Jessica a mistress….”
“If our Giovanni family can throw away Alex who is our own blood for his stupidity and heartlessness then what about a fucking orphan girl from outside whom even your father does not recognize. We will never fucking recognise such a treacherous woman in our household!
Your dear daughter confessed to Alex herself that your two sons forced her to take part in the conspiracy to create misunderstanding between Alex and Elena.
Your son’s made Alex believe that it was Jessica who donated the kidney to my nephew and led him on!
Do you think this is the end you bastard?! No! We will remember what your sons did to our family and we will return that gift ten folds!
Jacob Dawson, your corporation is doomed, we will teach your sons a lesson they will never forget!”
The call ended with a sharp click, leaving my biological father staring at the screen in disbelief.
