All Chapters of Chasing Victor Samaniego: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elizabeth’s POV The late-morning sun blazed beyond the tinted windows of my car as I stared at the cargo ships docked across the port. Outside, workers hurried in every direction, too consumed by their jobs to notice who might be watching. They were the kind of people who broke their backs for a modest paycheck. They worked for food, shelter, medicine, security—for their families. My money served a different purpose. It bought whatever I wanted. Expensive things? Easily. Houses and land? As many as I pleased. People? Most of them had a price, whether they admitted it or not. With the Buenaventura fortune behind me, I could probably buy the entire port without losing a minute of sleep. Unfortunately, all that money couldn’t buy me patience. And mine was rapidly running out. “Why is he taking so damn long?” I muttered, glaring at the clock on the dashboard. Eleven o’clock. Mr. Gallagher was supposed to have been here already. Surely, he hadn’t forgotten that Elizabeth Buenaven

Elizabeth's POV *** Morning came. I thought my problems would be over quickly since I had already found out who was behind spreading the video of what happened inside the restaurant. The video of how I was humiliated by that man—the one with the blue eyes, the handsome face, and the well-built body. But even though I had learned so much about him, it wasn’t enough to shield me from the wrath of Mr. Buenaventura—my father. I nearly jumped out of my skin when his palm slammed against the desk while I stood in front of him. I could clearly see the rage burning in his eyes, and it told me one thing: I was completely screwed today. “What do you think you’re doing, Elizabeth? Causing a scandal? And inside a crowded restaurant of all places?” His voice was so loud that I flinched and shut my eyes. I wanted to roll my eyes at what he was doing right now. If I was the scandalous one, then what did that make him? Was it acceptable for him to humiliate me in front of his business associa

Elizabeth's POV *** He raised his one eyebrow. He stared at me as if I had just said something completely wrong. Why? Did he actually think I would get into a relationship with a man like Marcus? The hell? Over my dead body! "So you're not?" "Of course not! Do you honestly think I would get into a relationship…" I glanced sideways at Marcus, whose eyes were still fixed on me, then back at the man with the blue eyes. "…with someone like him? Hell, no." I rolled my eyes after saying it. Because we were clearly enemies, he suddenly turned to face Marcus, and my eyes widened in shock at what he said next. "Bud, you better find someone who actually wants you. Don't settle for less. You deserve someone better," he said, then smiled at me like he had just won. I was so stunned that I couldn't even speak. He held my gaze for a few seconds, a wide grin plastered across his lips, before walking away—passing right by me and continuing on as if he hadn't just humiliated someone. It felt li

Elizabeth's POV *** He shoved me out of his condo unit with such force that I nearly slipped and face-planted on the hallway floor. Unbelievable! I turned to glare at Victor, who was looking at me as if I had just robbed him blind. All I did was sleep in his room! It wasn't like I took a dump in it! "Why are you shoving me? What if I tripped and smashed my face against the floor?!" I snapped at him irritably while trying to fix my disheveled hair. "I don't care. Do you have any idea how disruptive you are to someone who's trying to rest? Just because you're a woman doesn't mean I'm going to overlook the fact that you trespassed into my home." My eyes widened in disbelief. "What?! Trespassed?! Me?! I did not trespass into your house! And for the record, if you had just told me that it wasn't my house, I wouldn't have slept here in the first place!" The audacity of this man to make accusations! He may be gorgeous, but his words cut like knives! I was drunk last night! So instea

Elizabeth's POV •• The moment I stepped out of the car and stood before the towering building that belonged to Victor Samaniego, a triumphant smile spread across my lips. Man, it already feels like I've won. "Shall we, Miss?" I turned to Mr. Peter, I rolled my eyes and snapped at him for ruining the moment. "Seriously? I was having a moment here, and you just had to ruin it.” I gave him a sharp look and didn't bother waiting for his stunned reaction before turning on my heel. I walked ahead of him into the wide, pristine lobby of the building. I glanced around and rolled my eyes. Our lobby is bigger and far more impressive than this. I headed straight to the reception area and fixed my gaze on the woman behind the desk. "Good morning. Hello, Miss—" I paused, glancing at her nameplate. "Gretta. I'm here for Mr. Victor Samaniego. I have an appointment with him." I offered her a polite smile. "Good morning to you too, Miss. Just a moment. May I have your name, please?" "El
