Semua Bab The Heiress's Revenge : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Getting caught between two men was a whole lot, not to mention running away from Alexander this morning.And now the man I had run away from this morning was standing right in front of me. He is the only one who could save me from this. Just as we broke off from the kiss, Ethan grabbed my hand, but I wouldn’t even allow it.“I’m done with you, Ethan!” I lashed out in front of the reporters with Alex’s hand on my waist.“I don’t want us to do this, Ethan.” Alex stepped in, sending me behind him.“Alex–”“Get back, Elizabeth!” He yelled, signaling to Marcus and his bodyguard to take over.I was about to speak when Alexander lifted me off the ground as he made his way towards the car.“Get the door,” he charged, and quickly, one of the guards did as he instructed.The reporters rushed towards us, flashing their cameras in our faces and asking more questions about what we had done earlier, but none of us answered.“Start the car,” he ordered the driver, who asked where he was headed.“Ta

I had signed the contract form a day before today. Today's the D-day, my wedding day. I felt tears prick my eyes, as I blinked them back while staring at my gorgeous self in the mirror. “Your mom will be so proud of you,” Ariel spoke in whispers as she helped snatch my wedding gown behind. Vera Wang, the most popular fashionista, had sewn this wedding gown, and it cost a fortune. One could mistake this wedding for a real one. But deep down, we both know it's just for a year and after that, we can go our own way. “Thanks, Ariel. I don't want to ruin my makeup,” I sniffed before looking at the embroidery on my body; it was so gorgeous. “The groom is waiting,” a feminine voice echoed from behind. “Let them know that we'll be out soon,” I said, heaving a sigh. I could hear music booming from a distance, as my heart started to race faster. “I hope this won't end in disaster,” I whispered. I don't want it to be like the other day I collapsed on the stage. “You look nervous,” “D

The wedding ended not quite on a good note as Alex had refused to say a word to me after he had successfully sent his ex-fiancée away, as well as Ethan.As the driver drove along the wet street, I couldn’t help but think about my life.This wasn’t the kind of wedding I had pictured for myself while growing up. But what am I to do when my father’s well-being is tied to it? All I know is that tomorrow my dad must be flown out of this country for his surgery. I cannot afford to lose him.“What’s on your mind?” Alexander broke the silence, his hand reaching out to me as soon as the driver pulled over.At first, I couldn’t believe my eyes. His house was not just filled with flowers and fountains, but at every edge of the house, there were guards and maids ready to receive us.In one word, this place looks like a palace. And I feel more like a queen in it.The smell of roses hits the air, blessing my nostrils with a good scent. I got lost in the whole scenery when Alexander reached out to

I woke up as the door clicked shut.Sunlight streamed in from the east, casting a warm glow through the curtains and filling the room with brightness as it went westward.All throughout the period, Alexander kissed my forehead and picked up his phone to leave the room; I was aware of it all.I didn’t know how to face him after last night of giving him a hot round of sex that came with different styles and moanings.I ran my head through my hair as my eyes bored into the mirror, which was just opposite me, giving me a clear view of how I looked.“Shit,” Getting out of bed, I quickly reached for the wardrobe, bringing out a big comb to brush my messy hair and also applying some makeup. I was almost done with the whole thing when my phone rang out loud.I quickly threw off the brush and pounced on it to reduce the loudness. “Ariel.” I picked up quickly, glancing at the door at intervals.My heart raced faster as I prayed that Alex would stay a little longer. I wasn’t ready to face him

I didn’t waste much time as I dashed down the stairs and grabbed some clothes from one of the wardrobes that belonged to the maids.Thankfully, most of the maids were not back from the short break, so the humiliation wasn’t too much for me to handle.I made my way out of Alexander’s compound, flagging down a taxi and making my way back to my father’s house.I had left all my belongings at home after my wedding, including my cars, making it difficult for me to stop by some places and change my outfit.I knew I couldn’t do that, now that my face was all over the internet.“Are you Miss Lancaster, the heiress to the Lancaster’s company?” the driver finally interrupted my thoughts.Like I knew he was going to raise this question since he had been staring at me through his rearview mirror ever since I boarded his car.“I only looked like her. Many people say,” I lied.He smiled before pulling over at a nearby place, not too far from where my father resides. “Keep the change,” I said, befo
