Abandoned at the Altar, Chosen by the Billionaire

CHAPTER 2YANA I fling the door open and barge into the room. I couldn't take it anymore, and just like I didn't want it to happen, I was really praying that I'd been hearing things, but here they are. Valeria is on top of Spencer, riding him like her life depends on it. They both scramble away from each other, and when their eyes settle on me, it widens for a few seconds and then Valeria expels a sigh of relief."Why didn't you knock, Yana?" She asks while pulling the duvet over herself. Spencer remains by her side, pulling the other side of the duvet to cover himself up. My legs wobble beneath me. My head grows heavy and I can feel everything turning over. I'm not going to entertain the dizziness in front of them and pass out. "You..." My voice chokes as my eyes darts from my husband to be and my best friend, looking unbothered like I didn't catch them cheating on me. On my wedding day! My heart clenches. I can't believe I'd been waiting all over there, all alone, while they

CHAPTER 4YANAI've locked myself up for days. The only time I step out is when I want to collect my order. Other than that, I've been wallowing in self-pity while thinking about the way forward. Going back to London will literally be the death of me. I just can't deal with my parents anymore. The shame would be too much for me to bear, and just like I planned, I want to stay as far away from them as possible. And that's Los Angeles. My dad already cut off my allowance and even stopped my card as soon as I eloped with Spencer. Thankfully, I have an online career that has been sustaining me, I've been able to buy the house with that, and I'm afraid I might go broke before I receive any more money by the end of the month. I didn't even do much to expect that much money by the end, so I have to find a job. But the job I got is something I wasn't expecting. A knock comes from the door at that moment, and I take another look at myself in the mirror before grabbing my purse and heading o

CHAPTER 6YANAI've never felt so exhilarated in my life. Seeing them scrambling and shaking in their boots was priceless. "Are we moving into the house?" Luis asks when he starts the car.I turn to him. "You know I find it strange that you're asking for my opinion.""You're my wife," he states. My wife. My cheeks burn at the words. The way it slips out of his mouth so effortlessly, like we aren't in a fake marriage, just makes me feel so good. I know it's all bubbles, and he's probably being nice to him because of what he wants. He might change when the adoption goes through, but at this moment, I'll enjoy all the benefits that come with marrying the most eligible man in the country. I can't wait to see my parents'reaction."I don't think you should move away from your house, though. The kid has been staying there with you and her mother for years, right?"He nods."It's probably her comfort zone. She's already staying in the care facility, and moving into another bigger house would

CHAPTER 8As soon as I step inside, I feel the pressure increasing. Luis’s arm is still around my waist, steady and grounding, but even that isn't enough to calm the unease crawling up my spine. I'd been in the house a few times, but this time, it feels like somewhere I shouldn't have entered at all.His aunt stops in front of the couch, her eyes sweeping over me. As she settles on the couch, Brianna quickly rushes over to sit beside her. I don't understand why she's in the family meeting, though."Sit," Luis's aunt orders, her voice oozing with so much authority and intimidation. I've never really felt intimidated by people, but her aura is just too intense. Even from her pretty face, you can tell how strict and intense she is. Luis guides me to the love seat, his hand not leaving my waist. I hesitate for a nanosecond before settling on the chair. Her gaze remains on me as Luis takes his seat beside me. The way her eyes sweep over me in a sharp and judging way makes me feel like sh

CHAPTER 10YANA"Yana," I hear a distant voice call, and my eyes open slowly. The smell of antibiotics and antiseptics hits me first.My eyes move around the area to adjust more to the lightning, and then a touch on my hand brings my attention back."You're awake?" Someone asks, standing over the bed. Luis looks down at me with so much concern in his eyes, and I let out a groan."Are you okay?" he asks again, and I bob my head."How did I get here?" I croak out. Last I remember, I had hit my head on the wall and blacked out. I was the only one at home, and I'm sure Valeria didn't bring me to the hospital since it seemed like she was happy about what had happened earlier. Even though it might have been an accident, the smile on her face gave away her evil intentions. I couldn't believe my closest friend would do something like that to me, even after the big betrayal."The housekeeper found you on the floor. Thank goodness she arrived at the right time," he explained, his eyes searching
