"I love you, Elowen." I bit my tongue, my heart's rate increasing as her name bounced off my lips. My fingertips were cold as I pressed them against my palm, folding my hand into a fist below the table.

I lifted my eyes to her starstruck eyes, still raised to the sky.

How happy she looked, warmed my heart, melting all the anxiety I felt seconds away from my system.

I lifted my hand to the table, propping up my head with my hands over it as I let myself melt into those eyes that had always found a way to make me forget my sorrows.

"Oh sorry," she alternated quick, short glances between my form and the illuminated sky.

"Were you saying something?" My jaw dropped slightly, then I let a smile shape my lips.

Maybe it'll be better if she didn't hear what I said.

"Oh nothing," I said quickly. She smiles and returned her eyes to the sky.

"I thought I heard you say something." She lowered her eyes to meet my gaze for a moment.

"Oh, I just said..." My voice trailed as I searched for a s

  • After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man   CHAPTER 160

    RYAN"Elowen was my payback plan against Owen." The words slurred out of my mouth, the alcohol dulling my consciousness, my subconscious screaming at me to get a grip on my words.I looked around the room, my eyes staggering off each face I could hardly recognise before me."She was a payback plan but I had always wanted her." I said, my voice lower than I expected. Despite everything that had happened, every time Elowen had pushed me away, in my tipsy state, my subconscious, deep down knew I loved her and I always would, no matter what happened and that realization was hitting me harder than the whiskey ever could.I felt heat rise up to my neck and I suddenly felt uneasy, the air unbearable for me to inhale, it smelled like smoke and I just needed to get away from the noise and the questions.I staggered up, lowering the bottle to the table as I held the chair for support. I felt the floor shift beneath my feet for a second but I gripped the wood until my fingers went numb."I'm...

    ELOWEN"Wait... Why are you here?" I asked, amidst sobs, my trembling hands desperately fighting against the wind as I tried to move my hair out of my wet face."Um... I came to get a drink here and cool off a bit..." Owen's voice trailed, his eyes running through my face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed."Did... did something happen?" He asked, extending a hand out to me which I avoided by taking a step back because the last thing I wanted was for him to touch me when my world was falling apart, even if part of me was screaming for someone to just hold me and tell me that everything was going to be fine."Um... No, I... I just... Something got into my eyes, that's all." I lied, quickly wiping my eyes with the back of my palm, trying to swallow the lump in my throat that felt like it was going to choke me, but the tears just kept coming."Are you sure you're okay?" He repeated, lifting a hand out to me again and stepping closer into my personal space, his voice dropping like he was try

    ELOWEN"Elowen was my payback plan against Owen." I paused, the air in the atmosphere suddenly going dry and unfit to breath in.I stumbled backwards, my hand instinctively moving to my head, hold it steady against the spinning floor beneath me.I didn't want to think about it so much or consider the words I had just heard but I couldn't, there's no way I couldn't.His words were resounding in my head.My footsteps slowed, my jaw dropped, and my pants suddenly felt useless, my exhaustion a mockery, a slap across my cheek."So what you're saying is... after five years, you somehow found a way to get her back into your life and then, signed a contract to get back at Owen?" I leaned in, listening in to the conversation.Maybe I was mistaken, I hadn't heard well and I was overthinking things.Maybe I was just being overdramatic and needed to rehear whatever I had thought I heard."Who...?" He turned towards the person on the left and I ducked behind a chair, avoiding his gaze."Elowen." T

    ELOWENI didn't even ask where "here" was because I was already looking for my keys."What?!" I shot up on my feet, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion."Ryan?" I repeated, glancing at Celeste through the corner of my eyes. "What's going on? Is something wrong with Ryan?" Celeste asked, concern thick and evident in the tone of her voice as she strolled in my direction."I'm sorry, maybe you're mistaken, it's probably not my Ry–""Ryan Sylvarn, isn't it?" The man reconfirmed and I could feel the breath in my lungs suddenly disappear, leaving me shortly of air and my heart, barely beating.I glanced at the wall clock again with more fear in my heart as my trembling hands gripped my phone, pressing it against my ear tighter."What happened?" I asked, trying my very best to keep my voice calm and controlled."The bar downtown, hurry," the man rushed, his voice a little rushed."Wait, What's going on? Is he okay?" I rushed out, my voice slowly giving off my worry and anxiousness."Ma'am, yo

    LILITH"Marcus!" I yelled after him, running after him down the pavement, my bag swinging forth and back by my side, hitting my hip with every rushed step I took."Marcus, wait!" I reached out to him but slipped, my hand missing him by an inch, barely brushing his arm."Mar–Marcus!" I paused, trying to catch my breath as I finally matched his walking pace."Marcus, stop!" I called out firmly, holding his arm in place as I pulled in it in a desperate attempt to make him stop and explain what has just happened."What Lilith, what is it?" He stopped, his tone going a pitch higher and laced with annoyance and frustration."I–i don't understand, what do you mean by this?" I held the card up to his face."Read the fine print, Lilith," he said, and his voice was a low rumble laced with a tiredness that seemed to come from his very soul, and he wouldn't even look me in the eye as he stood before me.I looked down at the card again, but the words were just blurry lines because my mind was raci

    LILITH"Where is she?!" I grabbed the nearest nurse in my way, desperately scanning the room for the person in a white coat."Excuse me, Ma'am." The nurse wheezed out as she tried to struggled out of my grip."Tell me it's a lie!" I pulled on her dress vigorously, tears beginning to sting at the back of my eyes."Calm down, Ma'am." She gripped the edge of my dress, trying to loosen my grip."What's going on here?" A man in scrubs walked up to us, confusion and concern etched to his face."She just walked in here and grabbed me, not specifying what issues she has or who she is looking for." The nurse rushed out, clearly frightened by my sudden outburst."Ma'am, if you could please take a seat, we'll attend to you shortly." The man urged me."I need you to breathe, okay? If you could please just take a seat right here, we'll attend to you shortly and figure out how to help you," the man repeated to me, his voice deep and steady, as he gently wrapped a large hand around mine and pulled m
