Chapter 1 A Gift for Both of You<\/h1>\n
\n
\u201cAutumn, you sure you wanna give your wedding to your sister?\u201d Autumn Reeves kept her voice steady. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m sure.\u201d Elowen Hayes, Zachary\u2019s mother, shook her head and pushed an elegantly wrapped box across the table. \u201cI guess Zachary\u2019s the one who messed this up, not you. The divorce papers you wanted are in here. He already signed them, but you\u2019ve got thirty days if you change your mind.\u201d Autumn knew she wouldn\u2019t change her mind. Thirty more days and she\u2019d have her divorce license. Thirty more days and she\u2019d finally be free. The door opened behind her, and Autumn turned to see Zachary Hayes walking in. \u201cMom, there\u2019s a bad storm coming. I\u2019m here to take Autumn home.\u201d Elowen\u2019s anger flared the second she saw him. \u201cOh, now you decide to show up? Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea what\u2014\u201d \u201cMom, thank you for the gift. I really love it,\u201d Autumn smiled and cut her off, then stood up and grabbed her things so they could leave. They didn\u2019t say a word to each other on the drive home. Zachary kept glancing at Autumn out of the corner of his eye. He was supposed to marry her sister, but some twist of fate landed him with Autumn instead. He wanted to say something, but the words wouldn\u2019t come. He\u2019d been using work as an excuse to avoid her for ten days now, barely talking to her at all. What was he supposed to say? After a long silence, he finally thought of something safe to ask. \u201cAutumn, what did my mom give you?\u201d Autumn\u2019s lashes fluttered, and she reached into her bag to pull out the box. She was about to answer when a figure suddenly darted out from the side of the road. Zachary slammed on the brakes. The tires screeched against the pavement as the car jerked to a stop. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped out to check on whoever just ran in front of them, but the moment he saw the person\u2019s face, all his concern vanished, and pure anger took over. \u201cKristen Reeves, what the hell is wrong with you!\u201d Autumn\u2019s sister Kristen\u2019s tears came instantly, streaming down her face. \u201cZachary, why won\u2019t you talk to me anymore?\u201d Zachary\u2019s eyes went red as he stared at her, and then he laughed bitterly. \u201cStop with the act! The doctor already told me you never lost your memory.\u201d Kristen went silent for a second before her voice broke. \u201cOkay, I lied to you, but I just didn\u2019t want to lose you\u2026\u201d \u201cDidn\u2019t want to lose me?!\u201d Zachary\u2019s voice rose. \u201cYou\u2019re the one who gave up on us first!\u201d That shut Kristen up. After a long pause, she finally spoke again through her tears. \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I won\u2019t bother you anymore.\u201d She turned and stumbled forward, but she only made it a few steps before she collapsed hard onto the pavement. Zachary\u2019s expression darkened even more, and after a moment, he let out a heavy sigh and jogged over to scoop her up in his arms. Autumn pressed her hand against her lower abdomen where the seatbelt had dug in painfully during the sudden stop. She couldn\u2019t tell what hurt more, her stomach or her heart. When she saw Zachary holding Kristen and looking back at her with that apologetic expression, she already knew what he was going to say. Before he could get the words out, she unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door. \u201cYou should take Kristen to the hospital. I\u2019ll just grab a cab home.\u201d Zachary glanced at the dark storm clouds gathering overhead and hesitated for just a second, but in the end he couldn\u2019t bring himself to leave Kristen. \u201cI\u2019ll come home as soon as I get her settled.\u201d Autumn nodded. While he was getting Kristen into the car, she handed the gift box through the window to Kristen and leaned in close to whisper in her ear. \u201cA gift for you both.\u201d Kristen\u2019s eyes went wide with shock, but Autumn just smiled and closed the door. Then she turned and walked away. This was her tenth year of loving Zachary. She would never forget the moment she first fell for him. She\u2019d fallen into the water and nearly drowned, and Zachary had jumped in without hesitation to save her. That one sentence, \u201cDon\u2019t be scared, I\u2019ve got you,\u201d had cut through the darkness like a ray of light, and it had been rooted in her heart ever since. Too bad Zachary only ever saw her as a little sister. His heart belonged to Kristen, her older sister. The two of them had grown up together, and they\u2019d started dating when they were 16. Everyone knew how crazy Zachary was about Kristen. He\u2019d run all over town just to personally buy her favorite cake if she mentioned wanting it even once. He\u2019d spend crazy money on Kristen, lighting up the whole city with fireworks just for her birthday. He\u2019d even get into fistfights with people over gossip about her. For seven whole years, Autumn buried her feelings deep and silently watched them be happy together. Then three years ago, everything changed. Their wedding was all planned out when Zachary\u2019s father died from a heart attack after a failed investment, and the Hayes family went from wealthy to drowning in debt overnight. Kristen panicked and called off the engagement, then secretly flew out of the country. Zachary got into an accident while chasing after her and ended up paralyzed from the waist down. When Kristen heard the news, she didn\u2019t bother coming back. Instead, she posted on Instagram announcing her shotgun wedding to some other guy. Zachary called her 99 times, but all he got back was Kristen telling him she didn\u2019t love him anymore and they were done. That day, Zachary finally gave up. He made his own Instagram post with his location tagged. \u201cNeed a bride to get my marriage license. Single ladies interested, come quick.\u201d Everyone thought he was messing with Kristen, but Autumn knew this might be her only shot in this lifetime to marry the man she loved. She didn\u2019t hesitate for even a second and immediately messaged him. \u201cZachary, I\u2019ll do it.\u201d Then she grabbed her documents and rushed straight to the City Hall. That day, she got exactly what she\u2019d always wanted and married Zachary. Even though there was no announcement and no wedding ceremony, even though her parents screamed at her and kicked her out of the house, Autumn never once regretted it. Not until two weeks ago when Kristen came back from her divorce, pretending she had amnesia and showing up at Zachary\u2019s place. Autumn watched Zachary protest with his words while his body kept drifting closer to her, unable to help itself. She knew it was time to wake up from this beautiful dream. She\u2019d let herself go and set him free too. In the middle of the sudden downpour, Autumn sent Zachary a text. \u201cKristen has the gift box. If you wanna know what\u2019s in it, just ask her.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
