She Stole My Boyfriend, I Married Her Dad

*ALANA* “When was being an orphan ever a problem to you?! You told you didn’t care! You told me you loved me for me. You promised me! You promised to always love and protect me!” I yelled.He rubbed his cheeks and shrugged. “Was I suppose to give up an investment opportunity for you? Julia’s dad is coming back to Bellbanks to settle down and she already assured me of an investment from Ford Group. Julia can give me everything! You couldn’t even give me sex.” He snarled. “You said you’d wait for me! We were going to get married.” “Alana, you’re a beautiful woman but I have to be practical. I stand to gain nothing by being married to you.” “Instead of cheating on me! Instead of you two hiding things from me, why didn’t you just break up with me and go be with her?!” “This is exactly why. You’re a crying mess right now. I didn’t want to hurt you. Besides, I still have feelings for you, okay? So just get over this. While Julia is of great im

*ALANA* “You look so beautiful, my dear.” Patricia cooed. I eyed her. I didn’t fall for that. She was just being nice because Valentina was in the room. I stared at the mirror. About three people hovered around me making last minutes tweaks to the wedding dress. It was a sleeveless gown, revealing my beautifully decorated necklace. The gown flowed on the floor as I walked, tiny diamonds sewn in a lace overlay sparkled. It was my wedding day, my wedding to Manuel Buford. A lot had happened these past few days. I had undergone some medical scans and texts. According to Valentina, they had to make sure I was clean and my reproductive organs were okay before the wedding. Everything came out well. The planning of the wedding went smoothly and here I was. I still haven’t met Manuel in person though. I was told he had said meeting with me before the wedding would not be necessary.Sure there were many signs about how cold heated that man was but my heart h

*MANUEL* Do weddings take this long to be over?It was exhausting.It felt like the day was dragging on. I was currently at my study, going through some documents. The wedding ceremony wasn’t over yet but my barely existent social battery had died down and I’ve had enough. The bride could entertain the guests until all of them dispersed. A knock sounded on my door, I didn’t respond and that would mean I didn’t want the person to come in but the doorknob bent and I heard footsteps.Sighing, I lifted up my head to see my daughter, Julia walking in.She looked pissed. “Julia, I already apologized for telling you about my wedding a few days to, I…” “That’s not even the main problem right now.”I rubbed my temple. “What is it this time?” “You married my friend! My best friend!” I blinked. “What?” “You didn’t know? Of course you didn’t, that lying snake kept it away from you.” “She’s your best friend?” I asked, still in shock.

*ALANA* The following morning, I headed downstairs, for breakfast. I was already dressed for work. As I walked into the dining room, I found Valentina already clearing the table. “Good morning, Mrs Buford. Your breakfast has already been served at the other dining room. This is Mr Buford’s dining room.” She pointed at the opposite door.I recalled Manuel had talked about not wanting to even dine with me. Well, it’d even be better not to see him as much as possible. “Thanks. Please call me Alana.” I corrected. She beamed at me. “I heard you were friends with Julia.”Great, now I have to lie again. “I was. If I had knew he was her father, I wouldn’t have agreed to this. I didn’t mean to put her in an awkward situation.” I said, feigning sadness. Valentina quickly walked up to me. “Oh dear, don’t blame yourself for anything. I’m sure you two can get along. She doesn’t live here so it’s not going to be that awkward for her.”I pouted and

“Did you two meet up?” Manuel suddenly asked. “We work at the same TV station.” “Why did you do that to your friend?” Julia frowned at that question and her dad’s surprisingly calm voice.Wasn’t he supposed to be furious as hell? At Alana? “What?” “Why were you in bed with your best friend’s boyfriend?”Was that all he picked from the conversation? “I…I fell in love with him.” “Of all the people you can fall in love with, it had to be him?” Julia didn’t like this.Why was her own father judging her like this? “How long have you known Alana?” He asked. She rubbed her temple. “We were roommates in college.” “So you knew her for that long and you could do such a thing to her?” “Dad, it’s nothing serious. She didn’t deserve Eugene anyway.” “What sort of man goes from one best friend to the other? Break up with him. He’s despicable.”Julia gasped.Now she was regretting coming here in a
