Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 428

Chapter 429

Rachel’s POV

I could hear every whisper from the crowd as Jonathan led me onto the stage. Instead of embarrassment, I felt only pride.

William spent his whole life fighting to be where I am right now. Even Blake, born rich, had to go through hell – blindness, a coma – before becoming CEO. But me? Despite my little setback four years ago, I stepped right into a position others chase their whole lives.

Sure, marrying a dead man looks pathetic on paper. But this isn’t a wedding it’s my coronation! Everyone watching will see me become Mrs. Parker and take control of the empire.

I spotted Audrey in the audience and couldn’t help smirking. Funny how things change. I only befriended her because I was bored and wanted someone to feel superior to. Some country girl I could impress with my worldliness. Didn’t expect to actually like her. I’d even planned to throw her some cash after I married Blake.

Too bad she’s missing my big moment.

“Miss Hayes, shall we begin the vows?” the officiator asked.

“Yes,” I replied, not bothering to hide my excitement.

Audrey’s POV

I watched Rachel on stage, my emotions a mess.

A few years ago, she told me I’d be sitting in the audience cheering her success someday. Here I am, but definitely not cheering.

The officiator announced, “The vows will now begin.”

Rachel stood in her over-the-top wedding dress, practically glowing as she recited, “I promise to be Blake Parker’s wife, for better or worse, in poverty and hardship…

Her voice got stronger. “I promise to be Blake Parker’s wife, to stand with him and the Parker family behind him, through thick and thin, never betraying them.”

She emphasized “Parker family” like she was making a point.

The officiator nodded. “Very well! Now – *

“Wait. A familiar voice cut in. “The groom hasn’t given his vows yet.”

The room went dead silent.

Rachel turned toward the voice, her face going pale.
