The Billion Dollar Heiress 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

The room became as silent as a grave, the atmosphere growing thick all of a sudden. Gareth’s lips were still resting on Isla’s chest, but they weren’t moving. Isla was also still, her eyes widened as if she couldn’t believe the words that had just flown out of her mouth, and of course, she couldn’t.Her chest rose and fell heavily. She couldn’t wrap her head around what had just happened.“What did you just say?” Gareth finally raised his head to look her in the eyes. His green, curious yet disappointed eyes searched her face for what she guessed was her dignity.“I....”Gareth shook his head. He didn’t wish to hear any words from her at that moment. Slowly, he pushed himself up and sat on the edge of the bed, his palms covering his face.“Gareth…” Isla tried to speak.“It’s fine, Isla!” He cut her off again, his fingers pressing into his temples as if trying to push the memories back in.“Gareth, please—”“I said it’s fine, Isla. It’s fucking fine!” he yelled this time, getting up an

At Blue Flames Company, work was running smoothly for everyone except Amanda, who couldn’t escape the whispers and lingering gazes from other employees.With the back of her eyes, she could see some women glaring at her, but when she turned to make eye contact, some smiled while others quickly returned their gaze to their work.“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.” Hugo suddenly appeared behind her, startling her.“You gave me a jump scare,” she said, holding her chest and calming her almost racing heart as she walked with him to his office. “I was coming to you either way. I want you to help me review these files to see if I’ve done a good job before I show them to Mr Damien.”She dropped the stack of files on his desk.“Now you’re just punishing me,” Hugo feigned a frown at her.“I’m sorry, it’s just—”“It’s okay, I don’t mind.” He shook his head as if to dismiss her apology before settling into his work chair.He went through the files one by one, his brows coming together at each

Isla quitely stared at Priya wondering what she meant by her statement but Priya smiled and brushed it off."I'm not saying I don't want to get married, I was just wondering what would happen if I didn't" she muttered as she faced the mirror to continue staring at her reflection."Priya, marriage is not something easy especially an arranged one. You only do it when it benefits you and you have the heart for it. When I first got married,I didn't know what to do but I know needed the opportunity, I know I'd lose a lot if I didn't do get married to Gareth. I'm happy about my decision and you should be too, so think about it okay?" Isla advised her softly.Priya didn't physically respond but she heard everything Isla said.The following day, Priya’s family’s modern haveli was already crowded with some guests, family members and old friends, but only women dressed in a luxurious designed saree.“Don’t shake your hand, I’m almost done,” Isla said with full focus as she drew patterned henna

Gasps and whispers suddenly filled the room. People looked toward the mundap in shock, especially Mrs. Menon and Dev’s family.“I don’t understand, where is your daughter?” Anaya asked Mrs. Menon, but as she stared at the unfamiliar woman ahead, Mrs. Menon remained speechless.“Where is she?” Dev quietly asked the fake bride before him, his voice toned, even though he looked anything but calm right now.The woman was trembling. She didn’t know what to say or how to look him in the eyes. He was terrifying. Thinking about it, she suddenly couldn’t understand why she had agreed to this madness in the first place.“I said, where is she!” Dev’s voice hardened, making the woman flinch.“I… I don’t know… I swear I don’t know where she is,” she cried, pleading at the same time.Dev pulled his gaze away from her and scanned the guests. Suddenly, Isla was nowhere to be seen. He muttered a curse under his breath before stepping out of the mundap and storming out.The guests remained in awe of wh

Khan’s Empire“With several big names like Peter Smith, Reginald Johnson, the Williams family, and so on, I believe the Rajans’ wedding will be the right place to launch our new line.”Mr. Han’s voice faded over time, and the only image Isla could see was herself from earlier, scattering her bedroom in search of her missing wedding ring, still unable to find it.“What do you think, Mrs. Khan?” Mr. Han asked, but there was no reply.“Mrs. Khan?”Isla was snapped back into the boardroom, immediately meeting the concerned yet slightly annoyed faces of the heavily suited individuals seated on each side of the long oak table.“I’m sorry, can you come again?” She was never one to apologize for any reason in the boardroom, but this was more than the fifth time she had drifted off and asked them to start over.“I was talking about using the Rajans’ wedding to introduce our new diamonds to the world. We can subtly incorporate the diamonds into our outfits and accessories. I believe we’ll catch
