Chapter 1

I sacrificed my legs to marry my cousin’s boyfriend, but they replaced me with a different bride on the wedding day!

Chapter 1

I was getting married, and the groom was my cousin’s boyfriend.

But on the wedding day, I was not the bride.

I was tied up in the dressing room while the celebration went on outside.

Suddenly, the wedding march stopped, and the wedding turned chaotic.

I sat in my wheelchair and waited for someone to save me and for the person who did this to me to get punished.

After all, the best part always happened at the end!

Just then, the door opened.

“Police!”

…

I ended up in a wheelchair to marry Tommy Sullivan.

Moon White was my cousin, and Tommy was her boyfriend. While they were planning their wedding, I suddenly came back home.

To celebrate them finally getting together, I suggested a get-together with them.

During the day of the get-together, I staged a car accident.

“Tommy, look out!”

When a speeding car rushed toward Tommy, I pushed him out of the way without hesitation.

Moon screamed as the car hit me and sent me flying.

But things did not go exactly as I planned.

I lay in the hospital bed as the doctor said, “You’re paralyzed waist down. You’ll probably need a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”

I stayed surprisingly calm as I accepted the results.

Moon’s family rushed over when they heard the news and reacted very differently.

They stood by my bed, each with a different expression. They seemed more shocked and confused than guilty.

I smiled with a hint of provocation and said, “It’s been a long time, Aunt Jovia, Uncle Liam. Sigh, it’s all my fault. Our long-awaited reunion is finally happening here in this hospital room.

“And now, you both have to hear the bad news that I’m paralyzed.”

Jovia Thompson spoke first. She took my hand and comforted me. “Stella, how could we blame you? You sacrificed your legs to save Tommy. We should be thanking you, not blaming you.”

She then looked at Liam White, who nodded for her to continue.

“Don’t worry. Since you saved Tommy, the White and Sullivan families will take care of you. We’ll cover everything you need. Just let me know if you need anything.”

Then, I suddenly looked at Tommy, who had been sitting quietly in the corner with a relieved look.

“Yeah, at least Tommy is okay. Losing my legs was worth it,” I said insincerely.

Seeing Jovia’s confused look, I added, “Aunt Jovia, I really appreciate your kindness, but I’m disabled now. I’ll probably never get married. No one will want me. Since I saved Tommy’s life, maybe he could marry me instead.”

My words shocked everyone.

Chapter 2

“What are you saying?! Are you crazy?!” Jovia jumped up. She looked shocked and angry.

I raised my head and said pitifully, “Moon only lost a husband, but I lost both my legs!”

Moon noticed the sarcasm in my eyes right away.

She rushed at me, grabbed my throat, and shouted, “I knew you were up to no good! You’ve always tried to take everything from me since we were kids! Can’t you leave other people’s stuff alone?!”

She was choking me so much I could barely breathe. My eyes rolled back.

Jovia quickly stepped in and pulled Moon’s hand away. She said in a panic, “Moon, let go! Don’t kill her!”

After a long silence, Liam finally spoke up. He pulled Moon behind him and told them to calm down.

Then, he looked at me coldly, “We’ll talk about your marriage with Tommy when we get home. For now, you need to rest at the hospital. Stop causing trouble.”

I coughed violently a couple of times. Then I looked up and stared at him. “Sorry. Maybe I’m asking too much and causing trouble. But you’ve always cared for me, and I’ve always thought of you as my father. You wouldn’t turn me down, right?”

“What on earth are you talking about?!”

Jovia raised her hand to slap me, but Liam quickly stopped her. “Isn’t it bad enough here? We’re going back home!”

At that moment, I saw fear in his eyes.

After hesitating, Tommy turned to Moon and softly said, “Moon…”

Seeing Tommy weakly asking Moon for help, I blew him a kiss and gave him a flirtatious look. “Tommy, I’m waiting for you to marry me!”

“Crazy! She’s just crazy!” Moon yelled.

Her voice echoed down the hospital hallway. But I did not care. I even hummed happily.

I did not think the White family would give in easily. After all, they probably saw my blunt “request” as just an empty threat.

But what if more people saw my “shameless” side?

Late at night, I got up and opened the live-streaming platform.

I quickly typed the titles.

[Give me back my husband!

[To save my cousin’s boyfriend, I lost both my legs. I hope he’ll marry me.

[I’m not pretending anymore. I want to be together my cousin’s boyfriend.]

With bold titles like these, viewers quickly filled my livestream channel.

I smiled and eagerly waited for the drama to begin!

Chapter 3

Viewers quickly flooded into my livestream. I did not use any makeup to look pitiful.

The white light above me made my face look shockingly pale to the viewers.

I sat alone in the empty hospital room like a sad female protagonist.

I fixed my expression, and when the viewer count passed ten thousand, I started crying and said, “Moon, please, let Tommy be with me! I can’t live without him!”

Then, I started coughing hard. Each breath was heavy. I looked like I might faint any second.

Tears filled my eyes, but I held them back. It made me seem even more helpless.

This was an entertainment-driven world.

My bold titles quickly pushed my livestream to the top. Afterall, Liam was quite popular too.

My livestream quickly hit over a million views!

As expected, less than an hour later, the White family called.

With many viewers watching my livestream, I said with a quiver, “I sacrificed my legs to save Tommy! What’s wrong with him marrying me? I saved his life, and I love him so much!

“If you won’t let Tommy marry me, I’ll jump off the fifth floor of the hospital!”

I put the phone on speaker and heard Liam and Jovia pretending to be concerned.

“Stella, please don’t do anything drastic! We’re already talking to Moon. Don’t worry. We’ll make sure you marry Tommy. Please turn off the livestream. Let’s talk at home, okay?”

I could not help but laugh inside. I knew what they were trying to do.

They just wanted to calm me down first.

I looked up with tears in my eyes and said to the viewers, “I know many of you think I’m shameless, but I can’t help it. I love Tommy so much. I’d do anything for him. I’d even die for him!”

The insults in the livestream poured in nonstop. I spotted one comment. [Can you stop being pathetic? It’s making me sick!]

But I did not care. I had achieved what I wanted.

Just thinking about how frustrated they must be at home and how much they hated me made me feel good.

I wanted to make the White family anxious!

Both the White and Sullivan families had to figure out how to handle me!

Chapter 4

The next morning, before sunrise, Liam and Jovia came to my hospital room.

I was pleased to see the dark circles under their eyes.

“Aunt Jovia, Uncle Liam, good morning! Have you had breakfast yet?” I asked sweetly. “Hmm? Isn’t Moon coming?”

“There are no cameras here! Why are you still pretending?!” Jovia snapped. She tossed her bag at my legs, which could not feel anything anymore, on purpose.

Liam cleared his throat behind her to signal her to calm down.

Jovia snorted and turned away.

Liam changed his attitude. He came to my bed with a fake smile. “Moon went to get breakfast. Well, Stella, Jovia and I talked. You lost your legs saving Tommy, and because of that, Tommy can’t just ignore you.

“We spent the whole night talking to Moon and Tommy. Moon agreed that Tommy will marry you, but the wedding arrangements with the Sullivan family are already set, so we can’t change that. We’ll just switch you in. Everything else will stay the same. How does that sound?”

I smirked inside at their half-hearted plan but acted happy on the outside. “Sounds great! I actually like the things Moon used. Even if it’s something small, like a trash bag, I’ll keep it safe.”

My strange answer made Liam’s lips twitch.

“Well, since you’re fine with it, go live and explain what happened yesterday. Our family has a reputation to maintain.”

Jovia then made it clear why they were there.

I blinked and stared at her innocently, but inside, I was thoroughly annoyed by her arrogant attitude.

“Also, the Sullivan family has a good reputation. Since you’re paralyzed now, try to avoid going to social events. Don’t embarrass their family or ours.

“Don’t come crying to us later!”

She was giving me orders, threatening me, and warning me!

She was trying to put me down with her arrogance again!

But I was not the same loser I was five years ago.

I stared at Jovia. “If you want me to clarify, fine. But I want to have a wedding with Tommy.”

Seeing their confused looks, I repeated firmly, “Didn’t you hear me? I want a wedding!”

“With your condition, how can you have a wedding—”

Just as they were about to keep trying to change my mind, Moon, who was supposed to be buying breakfast, walked in proudly.

“If she wants a wedding, let her have one.”

Moon had a mischievous grin. I looked at her in confusion.

Why had she suddenly changed her attitude?

Chapter 5

I watched Moon walk straight up to Jovia and whisper something in her ear.

After they finished talking, Jovia’s expression changed.

“You want a wedding? Fine. If you have any other requests, say them all now.”

Liam still did not understand what was happening. Jovia waved her hand to tell him to wait.

I could not figure out why they suddenly changed, but it did not matter. I just wanted to marry Tommy.

“My requests are simple. Just do everything the same way as Moon and Tommy’s wedding.

“The wedding dress, the rings, and the vows should be exactly like Moon’s.”

“Stella, don’t regret this later.” Moon crossed her arms with a sarcastic look.

I raised my head with a confident and firm look. “Don’t worry. I won’t regret it.”

Just like that, we came to an agreement.

Soon after I left the hospital, we started planning the wedding.

On the wedding day, I sat in the hotel’s makeup room. Moon was leaning against the wall with a gloating look.

“Stella, for such an unforgettable wedding, you better stay focused. This might be your last wedding ever.”

I calmly smoothed out my wedding dress and ignored Moon’s taunts.

“Moon, you’re right. I’ll treasure it because some people might never get to wear a wedding dress like this.”

I hit a sore spot. She snapped, “What’s so great about you, a cripple? Tommy told me that even if he marries you, he’ll never really love you! You saved his life, what of it? You’ll never have his heart!”

Seeing her upset, I clapped and sarcastically said, “Why would I care if he loves me or not? Can’t you see I’m not interested in him either? As long as he’s the one you like, that’s all that matters.”

Moon almost fainted from anger. She held her chest and was ready to come over and slap me.

Just then, we heard the host’s excited voice from outside. Moon angrily said, “Don’t celebrate too soon, Stella!”

With that, she was gone.

How ridiculous. How could I regret this?

Everything was going exactly as planned.

Chapter 6

The wedding was going on in full swing.

I could hear the excitement from outside. I waited for my moment to walk in as the bride.

But the doors to the ceremony hall never opened.

Instead, a few wedding staff lifted my wheelchair and quickly moved in the opposite direction.

Panicked, I said, “You’re going the wrong way!”

But they ignored me. That was when I realized something was wrong. I yelled, “What are you doing?! Did Moon send you?!”

I started to slap around and tried to stand up.

“Ugh! You steal your cousin’s boyfriend! You should just die! Stay in the dressing room until the wedding’s over!”

As they said that, they tied my hands and shoved me and my wheelchair into the dressing room.

“Kidnapping me is illegal, and I’m disabled! If something happens, can you handle the consequences? Let me out of here!” I shouted.

“Who are you trying to scare? Stay there!” They quickly left after that.

I sat in my wheelchair and felt defeated as I listened to the distant sound of the wedding march. So, this was their plan!

No wonder Moon suddenly changed her attitude in the hospital room. After all the years I had competed with her and taken so much from her, she finally became smart.

I just wondered if they had thought of my next step.

The wedding march ended. Before the host could even finish the blessing, the sound of screaming from the crowd drowned him out.

I smiled brightly and looked up at the harsh white lights above me.

I thought about my plan to get back at the White family. How far had it gone? What still needed to be done?

After a long while, the door to the dressing room opened.

“Excuse me, we’re the police. We’re investigating the group orgy incident that was exposed at Moon White’s wedding and need your cooperation.”

Looking at the officers in uniform, I finally dropped my pretense. I gave a bitter smile and said, “Alright, thank you, officer.”
