All Chapters of The Billionaire She Hates: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*RICHARD'S POV*How am I supposed to tell them the truth? What will happen if they find out what I was actually doing?"I was wanking"Oops! I didn't just say that out loud, did I?I think I saw a smirk disappear on Josey's face as quickly as it appeared."Well,well,well. I can clearly see that the poor thing is starved. Gabby, do you see the cause of your decision?"A blush crept up Gabby's face and stayed there as she hung her head."No no,it isn't her fault. I should have controlled myself. I respect her decision"" Sorry, my bad! I shouldn't have involved myself with lovers. I'm a Singleton after all" Josey said shutting the sorry behind her.I moved closer to Gabby and held her chin up forcing her to look into my eyes."You look beautiful. I'm using all my self restraint to not take you on right here, right now"I paused for a while and was about to flatter her again when she spoke up,"Josey should never have seen you like that. Richard, that was embarrassing"I let go off her c

*Gabby's POV*After the narration, I realized that I had been a terrible friend and here she was, sticking her neck out for my happiness.I couldn't even bring myself to apologize as I felt it would never be good enough. I had been such a jerk and so insensitive. How could I bring up her relationship status during our argument?She still loves Joseph so much that she couldn't bring herself to date any other guy. Literally, all she did was flirt. Joseph had been her Mr. Right. I really hope she understands that Richie is mine too.The only difference is he has a little flaw. But no one was perfect now, right?I jolted out of my thoughts to see my strong-willed and high-spirited best friend break down in tears in front of me again."Josey!" I pulled her into my chest, stroking her hair and her back at the same time. I couldn't bear to see tears in her eyes, especially after knowing that I contributed to her agony to an extent."You probably think I'm weak now" Josey began, pulling aw

*GABBY'S POV*I felt blank. No anger, no pain, no regrets. Just blank. Josey had gone to call off the wedding. Right now, I don't even care what people say. I won't cry. Not today.I knew my family would be in pain when they learned what had happened but if u acted normal, everyone would get over it much quicker.Taking off my wedding gown, I changed into black jeans and a white top and was about heading back downstairs when my door swung open."Sweetie are you alright? Why did Josey make that announcement?" My mum asked suffocating me within her arms.Don't cry Gabby. Don't cry Gabby. Don't cry Gabby.I recited this in my head like it was a poem."I'm fine mum. Richard isn't coming." I replied coldly and made an attempt to leave the room."But why? Is it something we need to reschedule? We could have just asked them to come another day, right? Do you have any idea how much money we put into all this? You can't sit and think, 'Oh yeah, I think it'd be fun to call off my million dollar

*GABBY'S POV*It felt like nothing was working anymore - not my sense of reasoning, not my tear glands and not even the wall clock in the room that never failed to tick every second.I remember this feeling. This feeling that I experienced when Richie left me.I couldn't be angry at my Dad. I was angry at my ill fate. An ill fate that didn't let me get married to the man of my dreams, the man I still couldn't stop thinking about.An ill fate that was pushing me to get married into a family I hated the most in less than two weeks.It sounded so surreal and funny at the same time that I was laughing with tears in my eyes.Reason why people commit suicide became even clearer to me. When life doesn't give you want you deserve, you feel coerced to refute the life you have."Gabby, are you okay?" My dad asked holding my hand."Yeah sure I am. I'm perfectly fine with getting married to a total stranger in less than two weeks. I'm perfectly fine with not marrying the man of my dreams and havin

*AUTHOR'S POV*"Oh hey Mum." Gabby greeted with a nervous laugh. "You're home early.""Well yeah, The Singapore client we were supposed to be meeting up with changed his mind at the last minute and canceled our contract so I took the first flight back home. What did you want to tell me?""Oh my, Eliora. You're looking so gorgeous. Gabby, don't tell me you've never tried to steal those striking heels before?" Josey complimented to take her mind away from what she heard at the door and Man did it work!"Really? Thanks Josephine. I'm glad someone with good insight noticed. You see, I have only one daughter who doesn't like wearing heels plus I have a husband who has no interest in these things. I kept telling Angela that there are only two others like this one. it's one of a kind. Cost a whole lotta money." Eliora boasted."A whole lotta money, huh?" Gabby asked, hands akimbo."Well yeah! Why not? All my accessories must be top-notch!" She replied." Did your daughter tell you she wanted
