Chapter 1Prologue

The wind was strong and the sky was pouring mercilessly. Her wedding gown was soaked and covered in mud. But she stood there unfazed.

Ignoring the constant honking and yelling, she was standing in the middle of the road in a daze.

She didn't care, she didn't care about anything anymore. For her, life stopped when the man she loved left her at the altar. The happiest day of her life had turned out to be the most dreadful one.

What had she done to deserve such misery? All she wanted was to marry the man she loved and live a happy life. Was that too much to ask for?

Rachael Watson, the daughter of the renowned business Michael Watson and his wife Rita Watson, had everything one could wish for. She was the pampered missy of the Watson household whom everyone loved and cherished.

Despite being the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, Rachael never took anything for granted. Unlike other rich missies who loved showing off their father's wealth, she never acted all arrogant and spoiled.

Even though her father never pressured her to join the family business, she completed her studies and joined the family company. She now helped her big brother, George Watson and her father to manage the company.

Everything in Rachael's life was going in the right direction until love happened. Oliver Reyes happened.

She met him through her best friend Emma Reyes. They were cousins.

Oliver belonged to a mediocre family and was pursuing a degree in arts and acting in a local university. He wanted to pursue acting and become a veteran someday but things didn't look bright for him. But Rachael tried her best to keep him motivated. She assured him that one day he would make it. She even accompanied him to many of his auditions and encouraged him when he didn't make it.

Rachael and Oliver started their relationship with being friends and later turned into lovers. She was delighted to find her lover, her soul mate in her close friend.

For her it was like a dream came true. Their relationship was perfect and everything she could wish for. But things didn't go as smoothly as she had expected it to.

When Rachael's family found out about their relationship, everyone was reluctant to accept them, especially her father.

Michael did not look down on Oliver because he was from a mediocre background but because of his character and sly personality. He didn't care if the man her daughter married was rich or poor, as long as he was hardworking and never gave up on his daughter's happiness, it was enough for him. But unfortunately, he never saw these traits in the guy his daughter had chosen.

How could he just throw away his only daughter to a man who did not deserve her?

Rachael on the other hand, fought with her father and refused to leave the man she loved. She refused to give up on their relationship just because her father thought he didn't deserve her. This made the relationship between the father and daughter very sour and they slowly started falling apart.

Eventually, Michael felt helpless in front of his daughter's wishes and reluctantly accepted their relationship. That was the happiest day of Rachael's life. She could finally be the man she loved, marry him and start a new family with her family's blessings.

Three months after her father's approval, Oliver proposed to her and she happily accepted it. The two families met and the preparation for the wedding began.

Though Rachael didn't wish for a grand wedding, the Watson family did not leave any stone unturned. It was the wedding of their precious daughter, how could it not be grand?

Friends, families, far relatives, business partners, everyone were invited to the wedding. In no time, the wedding became the talk of the town. Media started crawling around the venue a day before the wedding.

Everyone thought it would definitely be the perfect wedding and couldn't wait to give the new couple their blessings. But things didn't go as planned.

After getting the role he had auditioned for a day before their wedding, Oliver abandoned everything and moved up San Francisco where the shooting would take place. He left on the day of the wedding without telling anyone, not even his parents.

When Rachael found out that her groom was missing from her bridesmaid Emma, she did not believe her and started looking for him by herself. She ran from one place to another, she screamed his name, she called him out several times but he never came.

Later she received a MMS from him saying he was leaving. Throughout the video he told her about the movie and his role and how excited he was to start a new journey of his life. But never did he once mention her name or apologize for what he had done.

What about the new journey they were supposed to start? Did that not matter to him at all?

After loving a man with all her heart and soul, is this what she deserved?

…

"Miss—" A man grabbed her arm and pulled Rachael away from the road. "The car would have hit you." Taking off his coat, he quickly placed it over her shoulder. "Your family is looking for you."

"Uncle Roger—" Tears started rolling down her eyes as she clung to his arms.

Gently patting her back and trying very hard to hold his tears back, he muttered in her ears. "Everything is going to be okay. Let's go home now."

The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife
