Love after Betrayal (Casper and Natalie)

Chapter 1

“Miss Hartwell, the hospital has given you three days to settle your payment. With things as they are,

we can only give you the latest by the end of the day. If you can’t pay your brother’s medical bills before

midnight today, we would have to stop his medication.” Where am I going to find the money by

midnight? Natalie Hartwell left the hospital with her face as pale as a sheet. She had tried calling her

boyfriend on her phone but to no avail. Without any other options available to her, she took a taxi and

went straight to his place. As her boyfriend placed importance on his privacy, she would not usually

drop by his place without his invitation. The lights were on in the bedroom upstairs. As Natalie went

upstairs, she heard Britney Hartwell’s moans coming from the bedroom, the door of which was ajar.

“Justin, harder… Ah, I love you so much… Justin, you’re so good. No, don’t stop! I want more… Ah!”

On top of the bed that was decorated with fresh rose petals, Justin Lewis hugged Britney with so much

love as he said, “You little fox, do you want more, or do you want to stop? Oh, Britney, I love you so

much.” “Justin, I love you too. But, the Langston Family has chosen me as their bride for that cripple. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Although Daddy has contacted my sister, she hasn’t been home so far. If she doesn’t agree…” Britney

started crying at this point. His heart ached. “It won’t come to that. I’ve already got that foolish girl

wrapped around my finger. That girl thinks that I’ve fallen in love with her. When the time comes, I will

trick her into the wedding by telling her that it’s our marriage. By that time, the Langstons wouldn’t ruin

their own reputation by admitting that it was the wrong bride. They definitely would never allow her to

go back on it as well.” Natalie stood frozen in place. She could not believe her ears. As the Langstons’

heir, Casper Langston was disabled in an accident. Because of this, his childhood sweetheart broke off

their marriage and left abroad. This incident had made Casper the laughing stock throughout the city.

With the Langston Family unable to bear becoming the butt of the joke, Old Mrs. Langston, Ethel, had

decided that the wedding would still proceed, albeit with a different bride as she wished to retain the

family’s dignity. It was at this time that the Hartwell Family took the initiative to offer their daughter’s

hand. After all, they couldn’t even reach the top in the city a long time ago. To the Hartwells, it was an

excellent deal, as all they needed was to sacrifice one of their daughters. Originally, this was Britney’s

dream marriage, as the Langston Family was a wealthy family, albeit with a crippled heir. However, she

wouldn’t need to lift a finger in the man’s care, as there were many caretakers in the family. With that

said, the only problem was that Casper could not perform in bed. She immediately became reluctant in

the marriage and immediately went through great efforts in seducing her sister’s boyfriend. To her,

although the Lewis Family wasn’t one of the wealthiest families in the city, it was still much better than

the Hartwell Family. Should she succeed in conceiving the next heir of the Lewis Family, she could still

be the young Madam of the Lewis Family even if she wasn’t the Madam of the Langston Family. With

the voices in the bedroom becoming much more flirtatious, Natalie clenched her hands into fists, her

face as pale as a sheet. Britney… Justin… I will never forget this. I will make your lives a living hell!

However, she knew that she would not be able to go against the Hartwell Family by herself, let alone

the Lewis Family. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. “What? W-Who’s there?! Justin, what’s

going on? Was there someone else in your house?” Britney screamed in fear. Unsettled by the abrupt

call, Natalie immediately answered her phone. “Miss Hartwell, I’m sorry to inform you that Mr. Hartwell

had a sudden attack. We have tried our best in resuscitating him, but unfortunately, he has passed

away.” Natalie’s phone immediately fell to the ground and shattered with a loud sound. … Two days

later. The funeral for Natalie’s brother was a simple one. Besides her, no one else from the Hartwell

Family was present. However, she found the situation laughable; as soon as the funeral ended, her

family arranged for a makeup artist to do her makeup and threw her in a wedding dress before they

immediately sent her off to the wedding. Without making any fuss, Natalie obediently followed her

family’s arrangement. With how wealthy the Langston Family was, she would have no need to fear both

the Hartwell Family and the Lewis Family with the Langston Family behind her. After calmly thinking

about the situation, she would be able to make both Britney’s and Justin’s life difficult after being

married into the Langston Family. Naturally, she would play her role of Casper’s wife well, in return. The

Langstons’ wedding of the century was being held as scheduled in the Langston Residence. The

people, who were waiting to see the end of the joke of the wedding, were all dumbfounded when they

saw Natalie’s appearance. Instantly, the audience began speculating the identity of the new bride

amongst themselves. Among the crowd, Justin was dressed to the nines. He was slightly startled when

Natalie made her appearance. With that pure white wedding dress, the white tiara on her head, and her

red sultry lips under the spotlight, she was unmistakably beautiful and charming at this very moment.

Natalie? When did she become so beautiful? He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. … At the

end of the ceremony. The Langston Family’s driver drove Natalie to the Langstons’ Moperville Villa,

which was located halfway up the hill. Mrs. Jenkins, the caretaker, gave Natalie a brief tour around the

mansion and left Natalie in Casper’s room after that. In the room, Natalie immediately noticed Casper

lying on the bed. Natalie’s husband, Casper Langston, once stood at the very top of the city. He was a

powerful man as he had single-handedly made a huge business empire. However, just when his

business reached its peak, a car accident had taken away his glory. Although the man’s face was

slightly pale, it did not diminish the man’s attractiveness. With his sharp chiseled face and dreamy

eyes, he still looked magnificent even in sickness. After observing the man for a long time, Natalie

started to notice that something was off. She tried shouting to wake the man but to no avail, as the man

gave no reaction and stayed motionless like a corpse even after she tried poking the man’s face

several times. No wonder they say that he can’t perform in bed. He’s basically a comatose patient!
