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 believe that he handled so much work every single day.He’s also wearing his Chanel glasses, making him look annoyingly attractive. Sometimes, I wondered how someone could spend an entire day working and still look that good afterward. It honestly felt unfair. Unfortunately, Gabriel seemed completely unaware of how attractive he looked.“Waiting for someone?” he asked casually.“Uh, yes. I didn't bring my car today, so...” I replied awkwardly. From the corner of my eye, I noticed him smirk while adjusting his glasses. I refused to look directly at him because I didn't want him thinking that I was paying too much attention to him. The last thing I needed was for him to become even more confid

The press conference started like any normal business event, and I tried my best to stay focused on the partnership even though something had happened between Evan and me earlier that morning. It was a good thing that Evan didn’t insist anymore when I suddenly left him alone in the hallway because I was already running late. I think he understood my situation, so he didn’t follow me anymore. Gabriel handled the corporate questions while I explained the legal side of everything. I kept my answers short, precise, and direct to the point. I didn’t want to confuse them with the terms I was using, especially since some of them were too complex and hard to understand. But even while I spoke confidently, I could feel that this event wouldn’t stay as calm as I wanted it to be. A reporter suddenly stood up, and the room slowly went quiet as everyone turned toward her. I already knew the question wouldn’t be about business the moment she looked at me. “Miss Laurent, Mr. Evan Hartwell is said
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 8: Regret Comes Too Late
Right after the gala, my parents called and asked me to come to the mansion as soon as possible. According to them, there was something important they needed to discuss with me regarding the company. Late-night calls from my parents weren't new to me. Running a family business meant that work often followed wherever we went. But asking me to come over immediately? That was very unusual. Something must have happened. The moment I arrived at the mansion, Mom was already waiting by the front entrance. She immediately went close to me and pulled me into a tight hug and gave me a sweet kiss against my cheek. "Welcome home, sweetheart." I laughed softly and hugged her back. "I missed you, Mom. Where's Dad?” “He's in his office already. You should go first. I'll just prepare something for you both to eat.” “Okay, Mom. But there’s no need to prepare food, I already ate at the gala,” I told her, but no matter how many times I said it, she never listened and just did whatever she wa
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 7: The Woman He Can't Ignore
Gabriel’s POVWhy was I still doing this stupid shit just for her?It was a question that had been running through my mind for years, yet no matter how many times I asked that to myself, I still couldn't understand why I felt this way about her.I should have let go of these feelings a long time ago. I knew better than anyone else that loving a woman who already belonged to someone else was a battle I was never meant to win, especially when that someone was a person I could never betray.There was no logical explanation for why I constantly found myself searching and looking for her, even if it was only for a brief moment. No reason for me to notice every little detail about her. No right for me to feel any of this. Yet no matter how hard I tried to ignore all of that, I couldn't control what I felt inside.I spent years pretending she meant nothing to me. Years convincing myself that what I felt would eventually disappear if I ignored it long enough. I mastered the act of looking awa
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 6: Cracks in the Marriage
Scarlett's POV I could hardly believe that everything I had worked so hard to achieve could start falling apart because of a single night. It had been hours since the gala ended and all of the guests had already gone home, yet here I was, standing in front of the mirror in the Hartwell's mansion, replaying the look on Evan's face when he saw the woman he loved the most. The way his smile disappeared and instantly turned into anger and resentment the moment he saw Gabriel standing beside his ex-fiancée made my blood boil. Even now, I could still remember every detail of his expression as if it had happened only a few seconds ago. Just thinking about it made me want to slap her across the face. I hated her face. I hated her dress. I hated the way she walked into that ballroom as if nothing had happened. I hated the way everyone looked at her. I hated the whispers that followed her wherever she went. Most of all, I hated the fact that after everything that happened, after losing Eva
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 5: The Painful Talk
He was getting closer and closer to us because I could hear his footsteps growing louder with every second. I froze for a moment. This wasn't the time I had imagined facing him. I shouldn't have left the apartment for someone as worthless as him. "Ayanna? Is that you?" he called out. His voice was filled with desperation. It was obvious how badly he wanted to talk to me. Before panic could completely consume me, Gabriel stepped in front of me and faced Evan himself. He also took my hand, as if silently telling me that he was here to protect me. The nervousness I had been feeling a while ago was immediately replaced by shock because of what he had done. I looked at him from behind while he held my hand. My heart was pounding so fast and so hard at that moment. I didn't know if it was still because of Evan or because of what Gabriel had just done. "Ayanna?" Gabriel's voice sounded incredibly captivating when he spoke in the quiet park at midnight. "That's enough, Evan." He said
