Chapter 2 Enfield's Family

• Enfield family mansion
• While Charlotte was in the hospital with her mother, the Enfield family was in disarray. They were in panic mode as the second young Miss of the house locked herself inside her room refusing to come out on her own wedding day.
• Bethany had been screaming six months ago about how colorful her wedding will be, in fact, everyone in the upper-class society knew that she was getting married to the only son and the heir of the Dalton family.
• Many women were jealous of her as she was ever always ready to brag about his name but after Dalton had an accident just a month later Bethany was turned into a laughing stock as different rumors began to circulate around in the public.
• As Dalton's fiancé, she has only seen him once, and then through the pictures her father gave to her.
• The first time she saw him, she fell in love with him. She was the one who begged her father to allow her to get married to him but her father refused saying he already belonged to someone else and that person turned out to be her own elder sister.
• Bethany cried to her mother about it and Amarie only patted her on the back and asked her to not worry because Dalton would be hers.
• Amarie quickly convinced Hughes to allow Bethany to take Charlotte's place since she was never interested in getting married to Dalton in the first place.
• When Charlotte was told that she already had a fiancé since she was a baby she did not accept it nor did she reject it. She never showed her interest in getting to know who her fiancé was.
• On the day that Dalton's grandfather was celebrating his birthday, Amarie made sure that Bethany was the one who went with her father.
• When Collins Dalton's grandfather saw her, He mistook her for Charlotte because of their striking resemblance and thus Bethany was able to snatch her sister's position.
• Now that the groom was no longer the one she wanted from the beginning, of course, Bethany refused to get married again.
• When the Moore family suddenly called three days ago that they would be coming to take their daughter-in-law; Bethany immediately rushed to lock herself inside her room threatening to kill herself if her father tries to marry her off to Dalton who was now a crippled and ugly freak.
• Her mother and father stood outside her door knocking softly and begging her to come out, even if they were no longer found. Dalton pleasant to the eyes they have no other choice than to give the Moore family their bride which they were already demanding for.
• "Beth pls don't hurt yourself or Mommy will feel bad, come out quickly huh? We need to find a way to settle this." Amarie pleaded in front of Bethany's room.
• "Beth the Moore family will be here soon, do you want the Enfield family to become poor and a laughing stock?" Hughes asked his daughter with a deep frown etched on his face.
• Amarie turned to throw a glare at her husband, "We are supposed to be begging her but here you are talking about being poor", she snapped.
• "I am telling her this so that she will take pity on her poor father and come out" Hughes glared at his wife in turn.
• "Don't take that tone with me, Hughes, if you had not wanted Bethany to get married to the Moore family son for your own selfish reason then all this wouldn't be happening now. My poor baby is locked up inside her room for three days and she has not eaten, what if she dies? "Amarie began to cry
• "Woman stop with the waterworks." Hughes was already stressed out and under so much pressure.
• His personal assistant just told him that the car sent by the Moore family to pick up their bride was already close.
• He knew that the Enfield family would be in big trouble if Bethany did not show up.
• Even if Hughes loved this daughter of his and had always pampered and given her whatever she wanted he could not help her in this case, he was also a businessman as much as he was a father but he prioritized business more over being a father
• "Shut up Amarie, it was you who convinced me to allow Bethany to take her sister's position in this marriage so she has to get married to him; Dalton whether she likes it or not. You better think of a way to get her out of this room before I get back" Hughes marched off after saying this
• "You..." Amarie trailed off and watched in anger as her husband marched off
• So what if she and her daughter were the ones that convinced him to allow Bethany to represent her sister? Could the both of them not be greedy for once and want all the best things in this world?
• Amaretto turned back to face the door as she began to think of a way to convince her daughter; Bethany to come out before the Moore family car got to their mansion but she did it half-heartedly
• Bethany whom her parents were screaming and begging for to come out sat in her room snacking on a bar of chocolate and chatting with her friends on her phone as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with her
• When she heard what her father said about her taking her sister's fiancé she felt anger and hatred wash over her and she immediately threw her phone causing it to hit the wall and fall down in broken pieces.
• Were sisters not supposed to share? Why was it that her own sister could have the best of everything while she had nothing? Well if that was the case she could easily return her sister's fiancé back to her.
• No matter how rich and powerful the Moore family is, she could not marry a crippled and disabled man. How will she show her face in public?
• Bethany's eyes flashed with a vicious light and as she thought of her sister marrying the now crippled and scarred Dalton, she felt immense joy.
• So why if they are powerful huh? She could equally find another powerful and eligible bachelor too.
• She quickly jumped off her bed and proceeded to open the doors
• "Oh my God Beth you scared Mother." Amarie quickly rushed to hug her daughter.
• Bethany sneered at her mother and did not hug her back "Since father said that I took the sister's fiancé away, why don't I return him back to her?"
• "Huh?" Amarie looked up at her daughter with a confused face but after processing what her daughter had just said she smiled widely.
• "That is true, my daughter is a genius. Since Dalton rightfully belongs to the daughter of that hateful woman it's only right to give him back."
• "Will father agree?" Bethany asked her mother cautiously
• Amarie patted her daughter on the head affectionately. "Of course, he has no other choice than to agree, come on you need to eat something while I go talk to Father."
• "Mom go and tell him, I will go downstairs and eat, you don't have to worry about me." Bethany smiled widely as she watched her mother run off to go and convince her father.
• Charlotte, you just wait!
