My Sister's Fiance Became My Husband But She Wants Him Back.

Emma POV

I walked out of the hospital clutching the test results, my hands trembling so badly I could barely keep hold of the paper. Tears blurred my vision, but honestly, I couldn't tell you if they were from joy or sadness.

"Mrs. Bennett, you're pregnant." The doctor's words kept echoing in my head, over and over again.

It had only been three months since I married Dylan Carter. He came from the most powerful family in Riverside, the kind of family everyone knew about, the kind people whispered about with a mixture of respect and envy.

Our wedding day felt like something out of a fairy tale. Every woman in town seemed to hate me just a little bit that day. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel like the luckiest girl alive.

I'd known Dylan since I was ten years old. That's when it started, this feeling that grew roots deep in my chest and never let go.

For twelve years, I worked on myself, pushed myself to be better, smarter, more confident. All so I could stand beside him without feeling completely out of place, so I could catch his eye even for just a second when we were in the same room.

Deep down, I always knew we came from completely different worlds. I was nobody special, just a girl who grew up with barely enough to get by. How was someone like me supposed to end up with someone like him?

But then, three months ago, something unbelievable happened. Maybe God was watching out for me, or maybe fate just decided to mess with me for fun. I went to my friend's birthday party one night. The next morning, I woke up and found Dylan lying right there next to me.

The red stain on the white sheets told the whole story. It showed exactly what had happened between us the night before.

Before I could even process what was going on, there was this loud knock at the door. Then suddenly the room was flooded with reporters, blocking every exit. They couldn't wait to break the news that Dylan Carter had spent the night with some mystery woman.

The Carters were the most respected family in Riverside. They had this reputation: old money, refined taste, connections everywhere. Mr. Carter Sr. was traditional in every sense of the word. When he found out what happened, he announced our wedding that same day.

It felt like a dream come true. Except it wasn't a dream at all. It was a nightmare.

Dylan didn't love me. Not even a little bit. He hated me, actually. Despised me. And I knew exactly why, because marrying me meant he had to let go of the woman he truly loved, Sophie Bennett.

And here's the twisted part: Sophie is my sister. My own flesh and blood.

Still, I gathered every bit of courage I had and called him.

He didn't pick up. So I sent a text instead, telling him I had something important to talk about and really hoping he'd come home that night.

We'd been married for three months, but he'd never spent a single night at home with me. Every evening, I'd lie alone in our bedroom, knowing exactly where he was. With her.

He didn't answer his phone. He didn't reply to my text either. My heart sank like a stone. I already knew Dylan wasn't coming home tonight. He never did.

I decided to take a shower and was just about to lie down when I heard it: the bedroom door flying open with this violent, ear-splitting bang that made my whole body jolt.

I looked up, and my breath caught in my throat. There he was. Dylan. His face was cold as ice but still devastatingly handsome in that unfair way of his. My heart started hammering so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest.

"Dylan, you came home," I said softly, trying his name out carefully like I was afraid it might break something. I couldn't help the small smile that crept onto my face.

But when I moved closer to him, everything changed in an instant. He grabbed my arm, hard, and just threw me onto the bed like I was nothing. Like I weighed nothing and meant even less.

I could feel each of his fingers digging into my chin as he gripped my face. His eyes were bloodshot and wild, filled with this mix of alcohol and pure rage that made my stomach turn.

"So tell me something, Emma," he said, and even drunk, his voice had this smooth, almost seductive quality to it. But underneath, I could hear the mockery. The hatred. "Do you really want me that badly? So badly that you'd pull some disgusting stunt just to trap me in your bed?"

All the blood drained from my face. I stared at the man I'd loved for twelve years, and my heart felt like someone was squeezing it in their fist.

"Dylan, no... you've got it all wrong…"

"Got it wrong?" He let out this harsh laugh and stared down at me with complete disgust. "Emma, why are you still acting? When are you going to drop this pathetic innocent act?"

Then he said something that made my world tilt sideways.
