Ditched My Fiancé, Married the Mafia Heir

Nydia’s POV

At my engagement ceremony, my fiancé was passionately kissing my foster sister.

Olive moaned softly, "I love you!"

Gordon responded to her, "I love you too!"

My heart shattered into pieces. Gordon loved Olive, so what was I?

Who was the person who said he'd love me forever during the proposal just now?

Tears fell from my eyes.

"Gordon!" I called my fiancé's name.

I needed to get to the bottom of this, then break off the engagement!

Olive and Gordon quickly separated. There was still saliva glistening at the corners of their mouths.

"Nydia! What are you doing here?" Gordon looked at me in horror.

I immediately understood. My parents had called me earlier just to get me away and give these two time together!

My heart broke even more than before. My parents and my fiancé had all betrayed me!

"Gordon, I'm breaking up with you!" I said firmly.

Gordon immediately panicked. He tried to come over and grab my hand.

"Nydia, let me explain! Olive, she..." Gordon paused. He didn't make himself clear. "Anyway, she's not feeling well."

"Not feeling well enough to need you, her brother-in-law, to cure her with kisses?" I shouted angrily.

Gordon wanted to explain, but Olive suddenly screamed.

"Where's James? I need to find James!" Olive cried and ran away.

Gordon wanted to chase after her, but I immediately blocked him.

"Gordon, you owe me an explanation!" I looked at him with red eyes.

Gordon frowned. "Nydia, Olive just mistook me for James! I was helping treat her! Stop making a scene, okay? Olive is alone now. I need to find her quickly!"

My anger flared up. "You're my boyfriend! Not hers! Usually I can overlook things, but today you were proposing to me! And you ended up kissing her?"

"Nydia, why are you so unreasonable?" Gordon coldly shook off my hand and accused me. "Don't forget, you're the one who made Olive like this. I'm atoning for your sins now!"

Gordon turned and walked away.

Because he was walking too fast, the engagement ring fell to the ground without him noticing.

I watched the ring roll to his feet, then get kicked away by him. My heart ached slightly.

It was like he had kicked me away with that same foot.

Seeing him about to walk out of the crowd, I couldn't help but speak up again. "Gordon! Stop right there! If you go find Olive today, our relationship is completely over!"

Before Gordon could speak, his friend Elder spoke first. "Nydia, everyone knows how much you love Gordon. Even Gordon has said you're more clingy than his dog. You'd never really break up with him!"

The comment was probably too harsh. Gordon frowned and told him to stop. "Shut up."

He looked at me and gave a perfunctory comfort. "Stop saying things you don't mean, Nydia. We'll talk about everything when I get back."

"You said I'm more clingy than a dog?" I asked quietly. "In your eyes, I'm just a dog that can't leave you?"

Gordon looked a bit displeased. "It was just a joke between friends. You don't need to be so petty about it."

"That was a joke? That was humiliation!"

"You're just being too sensitive!" Gordon raised his voice. "Taking a joke seriously. I don't have time to waste with you. Olive is waiting for me, I..."

"If you go, we're breaking up! I'm serious!" I repeated.

Gordon lost his patience too. "Whatever! Even if you're jealous of Olive, there should be limits! Reflect on yourself!"

He coldly dropped those words, pushed through the crowd, and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, the people around also left one by one, saying they were going to look for Olive.

In the blink of an eye, I was the only one left on the beach.

Looking at the mess everywhere, I smiled sarcastically.

It was like this again.

Between Olive and me, my fiancé would always choose to abandon me.

No, not just my fiancé. Everyone around me was like this.

In their eyes, Olive was a beautiful and kind goddess, while I was a heartless, vicious woman.

Just because Olive's father died saving me, I owed her a life.

I had to be grateful to her, give her my parents, and give her my fiancé too.

Whatever she wanted from me, I should offer with both hands.

Everyone said this was what I owed her.

So I couldn't refuse or have opinions, otherwise I'd be unreasonable and ungrateful.

I sighed weakly, thinking I might as well have died back then.

My phone suddenly buzzed with a message, interrupting my thoughts.

"Did you see? As long as I beckon, Gordon can abandon you anytime. Nydia, you'll never compare to me."

It was from Olive.

She liked Gordon too and had shown off to me like this more than once.

I didn't bother replying. If she liked picking up my trash so much, she could have it.

After tonight, I was really done with Gordon.

The night breeze by the sea carried a slight chill.

I rubbed my arms. The proposal had ended badly, so there was no point staying here.

But after walking just a few steps back, I suddenly realized several people had been following me.

I became alert and looked back at them, meeting their gazes directly.

Evil, dirty looks, like hunters spotting prey, gleaming with cold light.

My hair stood on end. In panic, I instinctively called Gordon for help like I always did.

"Gordon!" I walked quickly while lowering my voice. "Someone's following me. Come save me quickly!"

There was silence on the other end for a while.

"Nydia, I really can't get away tonight. Stop being jealous and making trouble, okay? Olive was in a car accident. I need to stay with her. When she's better, I'll make up the proposal to you."

He actually thought I was lying, trying to trick him away from Olive!

I gritted my teeth and emphasized, "It's real! There are five of them, right here on this beach. I..."

"Nydia!" My words were interrupted. My mother Eileen's angry voice came through. "Your sister was in a car accident. It's bad enough you won't come see her, but now you're out fooling around in the middle of the night, telling lies. When will you ever be sensible?"

"I'm telling you, no one's leaving tonight! Stop calling!"

The phone was hung up abruptly.

I was about to dial again when I suddenly saw several shadows on the ground getting closer to me.

My whole body stiffened. I looked back and saw the men who had been following me had somehow caught up!

I was so scared I started to run, but the next second, they all pounced on me and pinned me to the ground!
