After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man CHAPTER 170
LILITH"Why would you do such a thing?" I asked, my pitch increasing as I took a step back from him."Why do you say it like it's so bad?" He shrugged, grabbing a bottle of beer next to me."I only spiked up his drink alittle." He continued, screwing off the cork of the bottle with his eyes glued to mine."You say it like you haven't done worse." He chugged the liquid content into his mouth as he took slow, deliberate steps towards me."What...what are you talking about?" I asked, my throat tightening, my grip on my purse increasing and causing my knuckles to go white as I desperately tried to swallow the lump in my throat."Oh save me that bull crap, Lilith," he chuckled, taking another step towards me and closing the gap between us until I could smell the scent of alcohol on his breath.He looked at me with a look so cold it made my skin crawl."Why are you acting so innocent all of a sudden?" he asked, tilting his head as he took another long swig of his beer. "You’re acting like

LILITHIt took a while to accept it but my mother was actually gone... And it was all because of me... No, because of Elowen.She caused all of this, if she hadn't stripped us of the power we had, mother wouldn't died.My mother would still be alive and breathing.It was all her fault... Owen's as well and I was going to make sure I took the two of them down with me.No matter how long it took and what it took, I was going to get them back."When can I have her body discharged?" I asked the man in a white coat behind me."Tomorrow, Mrs Hill." He replied, throwing me a small smile I despised so much."Please just call me Ms. Lilith," I corrected, the sound of Owen's name still dominating mine was digging a hole in my chest, a hole I was finding hard to get rid of, and I turned my back on the doctor to look at the cold, pale form of my mother one last time."I understand," the doctor said, his voice dropping to that soft, annoying tone people use when they think you’re about to break do

OWEN"Are you okay, sir?" The man in a black t-shirt that read "Security" asked, his eyes scanning my dirt covered shirt.I straightened my posture, dusting my shirt vigorously, a wide smirk plastered to my cheeks.àaVictory had never tasted so sweet, so satisfying, so... fulfilling.It was the first time since I lost Elowen and since my company started to crash that I felt like myself again.It was truly liberating, a feeling I couldn't get over."Sir?" He called out, waving a hand before me, causing me to stagger back a bit."Are you alright?" He asked with a calm voice but the concern etched to his face was already draining away."I'm fine," I answered absentmindedly as I headed for my car parked in the corner, but hadn't even taken three steps before the guard spoke up again, his voice sounding scratchy and annoying."Are you sure, Mr. Hill? Because you looked pretty shaken up back there with that other guy, and honestly, you don't look like you should be driving in that state," h

RYAN"She's gone?" I repeated, my heart in my throat.I staggered to the armchair, slumping on it in frustration.The words I had dread, the words I never wished to hear, I didn't just hear it, it was true."Where did she go?" I asked, my voice lower than I expected, my tone deeper and laced with more brokenness than I expected.I had thought about this day, worked to void it but I never actually thought it would come to pass... I never expected it to come so soon."Gone to where?" I asked again, my voice wavering, my desperate attempt at covering up my broken insides failing woefully as I looked up at Celeste, hoping for any tiny bit of hope she could give me.Celeste didn't move from the doorway, she just looked at me with a cold stare that made me feel even worse, "Didn't you just say maybe this was all for the best and how she was just looking for an excuse to leave?". She reminded me."Why does it matter where she went, Ryan?" she asked, her voice sharp and unforgiving, "You jus

RYAN"She was your payback plan?" She repeated, her voice laced with anger and doubt."It's not... I don't know how she heard that Celeste, I don't understand, I'm lost as to how she had to be there at that exact t–" she raised her hand, cutting me short."What in the world, Ryan?" She asked, her hand flying to her hair, her eyes squeezed in frustration as she took a step towards me."How could you have been so dumb?" She added, her hand striking my arm with more force than I expected, the impact causing me to change my posture."What was that for?" I asked, genuinely feeling the sting of her hit, and rubbed the spot on my arm while I looked at Celeste who looked like she wanted to hit me again."For being an absolute idiot, Ryan," she snapped, her breath coming out in sharp huffs as she paced the length of the empty bedroom, her heels clicking against the hardwood like a ticking clock. "Do you have any idea what you've done? You didn't just ruin things for yourself, you dragged me i

RYAN"What the?" I ran my hand through my hair, confusion etched to my face as I spun around to face Owen.The anger pulsing my veins made my blood boil.I folded my hand into a fist, my jaw instinctively clenched and my heartbeat increasing by each breath I drew in and each exhale I made.I headed in Owen's direction, my hand already extending to his neck, all I wanted to do was strangle him to death. "If I found out you had anything to do with this, I'll make sure I get you back with everything I've got." I warned sternly, taking slow, deliberate steps towards him, my index finger extended as I pushed it into his chest.Owen didn’t even flinch, he stood there with that same crooked smile that made me want to tear his head off, his silence only fueling the fire burning in my chest. I lunged forward again, my fingers curling tightly around his collar as I jerked him toward me.My right hand pulled back, my knuckles set and ready to crack against his jaw, but just as I started to swi
