After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man CHAPTER 124
ELOWEN"She hang up on me?" I asked, pulling the phone away from my ear, tapping my feet on the ground impatiently. Lilith is too self-centred to take out time to possibly stalk me. She didn't have the motive to do it, at least not physically. She didn't care enough about my life to do so."You're not rethinking it, are you?" Celeste asked from the doorway, peering into my room. I tucked my phone under my pillow, hesitating with my hands hovering over the tickets."I don't think I can do this Celeste." I whined, burying my head in my palms. "Here we go again," she started, crossing her hand over her chest."What's holding you back?" She asked, her voice softer this time. "What if he says no?" I muttered, fiddling with my fingers."Ryan would never say no to you." She stated firmly and my eyes snapped up to her, my eyes searching her face. "What makes you say that?" I asked, lowering my eyes to the tickets as I felt my cheeks burn with the warmth from her words."I just know it, he w

LILITH"Hey Marcus," I flashed him a small, soft smile as I took the chair before, lowering myself into it."Well, you look much better, happier even." He teased, running a visual sweep over my face."What happened to the Lilith I used to know, what have you done with her?" He joked, chuckling as he squinted his hands in suspicion.I leaned in closer, my voice reducing to a conspiratorial level, "Between you and I, she's in the dumpster behind the McDonald's four blocks away from here." I chuckled, throwing him a playful punch on the arm."Of course, I'm Lilith." I assured him, raising the menu to block his face, pretending to look through it."Could you stop looking at me that way?" I chuckled, tucking a loose hair behind my ear. "I'm so sorry, it's really hard not to." She rubbed the back of his head nervously, his eyes darting to every corner in the room except me."Did you already order something?" I asked, shutting the menu and lowering it back to the table."Yes, I did," he beam

ELOWEN"Jesus, Elowen!" I heard a familiar voice as the lights flickered on and I paused with the knife tightly gripped in my right hand."It's me, Celeste!" Celeste yelled, raising her hands in defeat and my muscles softened as I lowered the knife in my hand and carefully avoided the glass cup on the floor."What the hell?" She furrowed her eyebrows as she strode into the kitchen, her eyes fixed on the shattered glass on the floor."What has got you on tight on defense on a Friday evening?" She teased, leaning against the counter. I reached for another glass cup and emptied the rest of the liquid into it, lifting it to my mouth with my slightly trembling fingers as I tried to stabilise my heartbeart that was going crazy against my ribs."Is something wrong?" She added, searching my face."No, nothing is wrong, I'm just a bit tired that's all." I answered immediately, swallowing a huge gulp of water."You're back from work early today, which ic unlike you, from what I have sent so far

ELOWEN"Mrs Sylvarn," she called out, waving her hands before my eyes and I flinched, sighing heavily."I'm so sorry Sandra, did you say something." I apologized, rubbing the sleepiness away from my eyes with the back of my palm as I yawned."Yes ma'am, Mr Donald sent in a memo stating that he would not be con—" she paused, folding her hands slowly."I'm listening, I promise." I assured, trying to keep my eyelids up.I thought staying at the office at night would work did not positively affect how alert my senses were, hence my inability to actually rest. For the past week, I hadn't slept a proper wink and it was messing with work."You're not," she whined, lowering the file to the desk."Are you sure you're alright, ma'am?" She asked, sighing."I'm fine, proceed." She studied me intently for what seemed like forever before grabbing the document again."So the firm in question that is the Donald group is willing to offer a huge amount to us to be their legal representa..." "Ma'am!" S

ELOWEN"So these are the clienteles for the week." I nodded slight as she lowered the file to my desk."Is there anything else?" I asked, pulling off my office suit and draping it over my chair."No ma'am." She answered immediately, turning to leave."Oh and ma'am, a Happy Belated birthday to you," she extended a small box to me.I smiled, throwing her a short glance as I collected the gift from her. "You didn't have to, Sandra." I cooed, feeling overwhelmed."You're the best boss ever," she teased, grinning from cheek to cheeek. "You deserve it and more." A fresh wave of warmth washed over me and I smiling, lifting my gaze from the gift to her face."Thank you Sandra," I said, lowering the gift to the table. "That's from me and this is from the entire staff of this firm." She handed me a fancy envelope."Oh my God , you guys spoil me," I grinned, collecting it from her."Can I?" I held my hand over the openning latch, eager to rip it open and see what's in it."It's yours ma'am, ofco

RYAN "What notepad?" I raised my eyebrows, looking at her intently."A beautiful notepad with a fancy fountain pen, it was so pretty," I furrowed my eyebrows, ticking through all the gifts I got for her."I didn't get her a notepad, Celeste," I repeated, folding my hands."Did she say it was from me?" I asked, readjusting in my seat."Not exactly, but she didn't say it wasn't from you as well," I frowned, my eyes fixed in the glass of wine before me."Who could have gotten her a–" I paused, the answer to the question slapping me across the cheek."Owen..." My voice trailed.It could only be Owen, the audacity of that bastard, sending a personal gift right here, under my roof. It paimfully explained why she was checking her phone constantly."Owen? Who’s Owen?" Celeste asked, turning toward me immediately, her eyes searching mine with curiosity."Elowen’s ex-fiancé," I replied, the words feeling like acid on my tongue.She paused, tapping my arm repeatedly as the realization dawned on
