Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 23: The Attack
Sometimes, danger doesn't come to us all of a sudden. Sometimes, we are the ones who trigger it and unknowingly walk straight toward it.I immediately pulled my arm away from Gabriel and looked back at their direction again. But by the time I turned around, both the van and Scarlett were already gone. I let out a deep sigh as I looked at Gabriel. My curiosity immediately turned into frustration as I blamed him silently because he's the reason why I lost them.“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying my best to keep my emotions to myself. But the moment he answered me, I completely failed to do so.“I should be the one asking you that,” he said arrogantly while looking straight at me. “What are you doing here? And why are you following Scarlett?” He asked, while crossing his arms and raising his brows at me.I stared at him for a moment, trying to match his attitude, but eventually, I gave up. He's been that good at making other people feel helpless and weak so I didn't waste my time
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 22: One Step Before Danger
If someone wanted me to be afraid, then they were wasting their time. Because unfortunately, I have never been the type of person who backs away from a challenge.I spent most of the night thinking about everything that happened. The flowers, the photo, and the messages that I know were all too planned to be a coincidence. And whoever was behind this knew exactly what they were doing.The next morning, I arrived at the office earlier than usual. Instead of going straight to my office, I stopped by the reception area first and asked about the delivery from yesterday. Unfortunately, the receptionist couldn't tell me much information."He was wearing a cap and a face mask," she explained, her voice sounding apologetic for knowing a little about the sender. "I didn't really see his face because he left right away."I sighed quietly after hearing that because whoever sent those flowers didn't want to be identified and had planned everything carefully to stay hidden and unknown.The rest of

Villains do not attack right away. They wait until you finally lower your guard before they remind you that the danger was never gone in the first place.One month has already passed since Evan left the country and everything continued to be peaceful after that. No more chaos, no more scandals, and no more jealousy revolving around me. During those days, I spent most of my week focusing on work and trying to rebuild the normal life and peaceful life I lost when those scandals happened. And surprisingly, it worked because until now, my life has become a lot easier to live on.I was reviewing and revising papers inside my office when suddenly my door opened. I didn't even need to look up just to know the person who entered my office without knocking because only one person in this company had the confidence to enter my office like he owned the building. And it was Gabriel.“Lunch,” he said casually. He puts a transparent food container on my desk and one apple juice. These past few day
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 20: The Choice I Can No Longer Delay
EVAN’S POVSome decisions don’t feel painful when you let go of bad thoughts and talk about them over and over with someone. They only feel heavy because sometimes we spend too long avoiding them.I stayed at the park even after Yanna left. I didn't go home right away because I know that I still need to process everything after we bid our goodbye to each other. I leaned my head at the left chain of the swing and for a while, my thoughts only revolved around her. Not because I still love her, but because I was finally able to close our long chapter together. Finally.I replayed everything I did to her. From our wedding day, our painful talk at the park after the wedding, my annoying presence around her, and me trying to hide from her the truth she was meant to know anyway. I did so many terrible things to her and I didn't expect her to forgive me this way. I want her to be mad at me but I know that she will never plant hatred at someone she once loved. And that's the person I fell for.
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 19: No More Pretending
Some conversations are not meant to bring people back together. Because some of it was meant to close an unfinished chapter so two people can finally let each other go.Two days had passed since my conversation with Gabriel on the rooftop. During those days, I tried to convince myself to let go of the truth I heard because none of it mattered to me anymore. I even tried to ignore the heaviness I feel in my chest right now but no matter how hard I deny it, everything I see made my mind go back to him.I drown myself in work all day to keep me distracted from those revelations. But every time I'm trying to rest my mind, it betrays me all the time. And I know that there's a small part of me that knows how to make this end. That's why I'm here at the park tonight, waiting for him to accept my request to talk. Because if I don't do it now, I will keep hurting and none of it will stop. That's why I made up my mind, and from here, I will give both of us the real closure that we need.I was s

Not every broken heart needs advice. Sometimes, all it needs is someone willing to sit beside it until the wounds in it hurt a little less. Gabriel and I were already sitting on the rooftop bench. For a while, I have been telling myself that I was fine. I kept my back straight, my hands were resting just fine on my lap, and my eyes were fixed on the city like I had my emotions under control. I tried everything I needed to stay calm but wherever I look, those words keep flashing back on my memory. Gabriel sat beside me quietly, not asking anything. He just stayed with me, waiting for me to stop pretending that I'm fine.“I’m okay now,” I said lightly while keeping my head straight. Gabriel glanced at me before replying, “No, you’re not.”I looked at him quickly trying to prove him wrong. “Yes, I am.”He didn’t even argue. He just kept looking at me like he was waiting for me to realize something I was refusing to admit. And because of that, something in my chest tightened. I laughed

I should have known that anything that started with following a mysterious note was never going to end well for me.But before twelve noon even came, I had already fixed my things on my desk and was heading to the elevator without thinking twice about it. I was still smiling to myself like someone

If embarrassment had a face, I was pretty sure it would look exactly like mine right now.I stared at Gabriel in the middle of the lobby, waiting for him to say whatever it was he had forgotten to tell me. And while I was standing there waiting, a huge part of me was genuinely wishing for the groun

The next morning, I spent almost half an hour standing in front of my closet with a blue blazer in my hand. It wasn't because I couldn't decide what to wear. I still hadn't recovered from the embarrassment of last night. Every time that scene replayed in my mind, I wanted nothing more than to disap
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 10: More Than Just Embarrassed
I was about to call a taxi because I didn't bring my car today. I wasn't in the mood to drive for the whole week. As I waited for a taxi to stop in front of me, I noticed someone walking toward me before stopping beside me. It was Gabriel. He was wearing his black suit perfectly, making it hard to
