Broken Bonds, Shattered Heart

Chapter 3

Late at night, the luxurious villa was covered with a layer of soft moonlight, and a black luxurious sports car slowly drove into the villa.

Edward, the founder of Eclipse Corporation, was sitting in the center of the living room with a sulky face, and when he saw the hungover Alex entering the hall, he violently slammed the table. ‘Alex! What you did was out of line! Today is your wedding to Vicky, and you leave the bride at home and go out drinking by yourself? And you came back drunk like this!’

Alex frowned as he looked coldly at the entire villa, which was decorated joyfully because of the wedding, and the lighting in the hall made him extra uncomfortable.

‘Now that I'm back, what are you worried about?’ Alex was drunk, but not a trace of the coldness in his words had diminished.

‘Alex, Dad is also concerned about you, besides, Vicky would feel bad if you disappeared in the morning just after your wedding to Vicky!’ Ethan said disgruntledly as he looked at his drunken Alex.

Alex snorted coldly:

‘She should be prepared since she agreed to marry me, especially— you! I will ‘treat’ the bride you gave me well!’

Immediately after, his dark eyes glanced at his father like a falcon before stumbling towards the wedding room.

‘You—what kind of attitude are you—’ Edward was shaking with anger, pointing his finger at Alex.

‘Dad, forget it, it's good that Alex is back; you should rest too; it's late!’ Ethan consoled his father while looking at his big brother's distant back; a hint of uneasiness faintly rose in his heart.

Vicky sat quietly on the wedding bed, smiling a little bitterly; being in a huge villa made her feel extra lonely, but the moment she thought of Alex, the corners of her mouth lifted in a soft smile.

She first met Alex at her father's company's anniversary cocktail party, just one glance, and fell deeply in love with this man. Hayes Global is her father's many years of hard work. To make it grow, Vicky's father, that is, William Hayes, decided to enter into a business partnership with the Eclipse Corporation. Because William Hayes and Edward are family friends, there are two groups of marriage moves today.

Vicky didn't blame her father because it was her biggest wish to marry Alex. Although Alex disappeared just after the wedding today, she believed that Alex would have feelings for her soon so that he would know that she was not just a rich girl.

The thought of this filled Vicky's heart with a feeling of happiness, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked around the room.

‘What a lavish setting!’ She said in a low voice she had heard that the villa was exaggeratedly large before she married over, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she was still shocked by the lavish residence.

The deeply French romantic-style villa looked like one from the whole, but when you walked into it, you would find that the designer used the aesthetics of architecture to divide the whole villa into several small villas, which was why the villa covered an excessively large area.

The unique craftsmanship of the architect can be seen in every part of the villa, and every part is carved with care, from the form of the façade to the details of the pillars, windows, roofs, terraces, and so on; you can see the different creativity. The huge garden design of the villa also adds a romantic atmosphere, reflecting the whole villa's sense of stability, atmosphere, and wealth.

Vicky walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, the shallow night breeze gently picking the tips of her hair through the soft veil, and sat down according to her body.

‘Alex, where have you been?’ Thinking of Alex, who had pulled away during the day, there was a twinge of sadness in her heart; she knew Alex didn't care about the marriage, yet she was deeply in love with him.

Vicky was lost in thought, leaning her head gently against the windowsill.
