Betraying the Heiress Prologue
I exhaled the last smoke I smoked from the cigarette I was holding while looking up to watch the stars. I looked down at the cigarette I was holding and then shook it before sighing. I immediately looked for the trash can to throw it there. I'm not overthinking but I'm just very stressed right now and I think that's the only way to reduce the stress I'm feeling right now. I lost one of my patients today. I did everything I could but there was nothing because that was all his life could handle. As a doctor, it is very heartbreaking to lose a patient, I feel that I have not fulfilled my duty. Add to that the feeling of parents losing their child. It's so heartbreaking and I know the feeling of losing a child because I've experienced something like that.I took a deep breath and immediately went straight to the trash. I'm out of the house today because I don't want to spoil my sister's party. I left my friends there for a while because I also wanted to be alone."Don't blame yourself,
Betraying the Heiress Chapter 1
I rolled my eyes when I saw Josiah smiling while waving at me outside the classroom. I wanted to go home a while ago because my friend was still teasing me from the outside. We were supposed to go home a while ago, but one of my subjects took a make-up class so we don't have to go to class with her on Saturday. My gosh! Why does it seem like we owe her that, she was the one who didn't come in with us the day before. "To those students who have already done with their quiz, you can go now," It was like I was revived when I heard my professor say that. I quickly put my things in my bag and stood up to pass my quiz to our professor. "Thank you, Ms. Dela Peña," my prof said and then smiled at me. I just smiled and nodded before I left the room. Josiah immediately greeted me so I threw my bag at him."Ouch! Take it easy!" he complained. I grinned when I saw that he was shocked that I threw my bag at him but I didn't pay attention to that. "Where's Clara?" I asked him and started walk

I looked at myself in the big mirror in my room. I just finished fixing it in the dressing room here at home but I went back to my room so I could see myself better. I'm wearing a silver silky dress and it's backless. My three-inch heels are also silver and I only put a little jewelry on my body. I don't want others to think that I prepared too much to attend the party that my Mom was talking about. I also don't want to look bad in front of many people, especially since my Mom will receive an award for our company.My friends called me a few times earlier, but as time went on, they didn't bother me anymore. Maybe they were too busy with the arrangements and maybe they thought that I wouldn't be there. "Sister, Eli! Is it true that Josiah will attend that party too?" Stella asked me when she suddenly entered my room.I looked at her and raised an eyebrow at her. When she saw my raised eyebrows, she sighed and did nothing but go out of my room again to knock. I grinned and shook my hea

I went outside to get some fresh air because I couldn't stand the scene right there. I don't understand why he wants to talk to me, even though we're not together anymore. Also, everything is clear to me. That's fine with me and I accept that he's dating someone now. I accepted it even though I was still hurt but there was nothing I could do because we both started to move on.Fortunately, I brought the wine I bought there. I'll just let my two friends look for me later but I think they won't look for me because they're busy with their crushes. Out of the three of us, I'm the only one who doesn't have a crush! Both of them should be ready when someone gets my attention."Hey,""Hey!" I almost shouted while still holding my chest because of the shock. "What the hell?!" I said indignantly when I saw who it was. I couldn't take back what I said because I was taken by surprise. I don't know what Stefan is doing here. I don't want to assume that he is following me here. "I'm sorry. I di

"Thank you,"I looked at Stefan who was smiling while staring at me. We were starting to dance now and I couldn't look directly at him. I'm still a bit annoyed because the few people who saw us, if they weren't teasing us, they were taking pictures of us. "This is gonna be yours last. Don't forget my condition," I said to him using my stubborn attitude toward him. He laughed so I didn't even look at him. I don't know what he ate. For sure he has been seeing me at school before and I just don't understand why he is paying attention to me now. "Oh come on, Eli. We just met and we're schoolmates. Why don't we try to be friends with each other?" he answered and asked me. "I already have friends," I answered him. "I know but I still want to be friends with you. Can we? Please?" He pleaded like a child."I'll think about it first," I answered him because I'm sure he won't stop me again. He was about to speak when Jackson suddenly appeared at our side causing Stefan and me to turn arou

"That would be nice to hear, Eli, but it's not. Your sister already has a boyfriend. She told me then that I should just wait for her until she graduates from college," he said to me one after another, so I became silent."I did what she told me to wait for her. You saw how I avoid women who pay attention to me just for your sister, but I didn't expect it now. While I was waiting for her, she was already in love with others. How ridiculous, right?" he continued speaking then shook his head. I bit my lip as I listened to Josiah's story. I don't know anything my sister said to him because Josiah doesn't like to tell stories. Even now I am shocked by what I found out. "Why don't you tell me?" he asked. I frowned, "Say which one?" I asked curiously. "That someone else is flirting with Stella. For sure he's visiting your house and you see it. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you let me hope?" he said and asked me one after another so I shook my head one after another. "Jos, I-I didn't

"Why is she here? Did Mom let her?" I asked. "I don't know. I saw her here earlier and she's your responsibility here. Just keep an eye on it," she answered and then left me there completely. I was in agony and shook because I was going to be a baby sitter now! And I really have to keep an eye on that girl especially since I found out that she has a boyfriend. I don't know that man, that's why I don't trust that he is with my sister now. I drank my last shot again and asked for two more shots before finally leaving to go back to our table because my friends might be looking for me. They looked up at me when I got there, especially Stefan, so I looked back at him with a frown. I was still wondering if there was dirt on my face because that man had been looking at me for a while. I couldn't help but notice because it was as if he was reading my mind every time he looked at me. "Vodka, Eli?" he asked. My lips lifted and looked at the two shots I was holding. That's why he was looki

"No worries, Eli. By the way, where're your friends?" he asked and his eyes wandered to find my friends. "Ah, they just go around. I don't know where they went," I answered then shrugged my shoulders. "I still haven't seen Josiah, it's a shame he didn't participate in our games," he told me. "Even though he's here, I'm sure he won't join. He's a killjoy tonight," I answered him. After my sister rejected him, I don't think he wants to play with us now. I'm sure he's drinking more right now to forget about it."Too bad. I wish I could ask him something," he said as I poured wine into my glass and his glass. "What are you going to ask him?" I asked after drinking wine again. "If he likes you," Stefan answered me immediately. I suddenly coughed because I was surprised by what he said and then I couldn't help but laugh because of that. "Oh, why? Are you alright? Why did my words make you cough?" he said with a worried voice. "Just from your reaction, I think you really like each o
