Semua Bab After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man: Bab 121 - Bab 130

ELOWEN"Jesus, Elowen!" I heard a familiar voice as the lights flickered on and I paused with the knife tightly gripped in my right hand."It's me, Celeste!" Celeste yelled, raising her hands in defeat and my muscles softened as I lowered the knife in my hand and carefully avoided the glass cup on the floor."What the hell?" She furrowed her eyebrows as she strode into the kitchen, her eyes fixed on the shattered glass on the floor."What has got you on tight on defense on a Friday evening?" She teased, leaning against the counter. I reached for another glass cup and emptied the rest of the liquid into it, lifting it to my mouth with my slightly trembling fingers as I tried to stabilise my heartbeart that was going crazy against my ribs."Is something wrong?" She added, searching my face."No, nothing is wrong, I'm just a bit tired that's all." I answered immediately, swallowing a huge gulp of water."You're back from work early today, which ic unlike you, from what I have sent so far

ELOWEN"She hang up on me?" I asked, pulling the phone away from my ear, tapping my feet on the ground impatiently. Lilith is too self-centred to take out time to possibly stalk me. She didn't have the motive to do it, at least not physically. She didn't care enough about my life to do so."You're not rethinking it, are you?" Celeste asked from the doorway, peering into my room. I tucked my phone under my pillow, hesitating with my hands hovering over the tickets."I don't think I can do this Celeste." I whined, burying my head in my palms. "Here we go again," she started, crossing her hand over her chest."What's holding you back?" She asked, her voice softer this time. "What if he says no?" I muttered, fiddling with my fingers."Ryan would never say no to you." She stated firmly and my eyes snapped up to her, my eyes searching her face. "What makes you say that?" I asked, lowering my eyes to the tickets as I felt my cheeks burn with the warmth from her words."I just know it, he w

RYAN"Where is she?" I paused, my voice thick with a mix of anger and frustration. I had noticed her absent nights at home and I only took it as she was avoiding me or back to Owen as I suspected.But I was wrong, she was too scared to come home and I had done anything to help. I didn't even bother asking her how she had been doing.I was so stupid to have let my ego and pride get the most of me."I asked where is she?!" I repeated, my voice increasing, my hands rolling into fists by my sides. Celeste flinched, but stayed perfectly still in the exact position."Don't go yelling at me, Ryan," she fired back, folding her hands over my chest dramatically."Why didn't she tell me?" I asked, a wave of guilt washing over me."Oh, Ryan," she started, her face a mixture of sadness and something that looked like pity. "I don't know what happened between you too," she started, pushing herself off the doorway."She thinks you don't want to talk to her." She continued, shaking her head slowly. "

LILITH"How is she?" I rushed into the hospital, my hands trembling as I approached the doctor by my mother's ward."Mrs Hill," the doctor acknowledged, lowering his clipboard and readjusting her glasses. I frowned, the sound of being addressed by that name made me sick to my stomach.It's been three months she has been in the hospital, hooked up to different machines, barely living and fighting for her life.He looked at me with that pity that all doctors seem to master, taking his time before he finally spoke. "Lilith, I won’t cut words, we’ve done everything we can with the resources we have, but your mother’s condition has worsened significantly this week, the infection is spreading quickly now, and the medication isn’t holding it back effectively anymore.""What does that mean, Doctor? Just tell me straight, how much time does she have?"He sighed, the sound increase the pace of my heart beat. "Unless we can perform the specialized surgery, that is the one we talked about to rem

OWEN"Oh Hi, Lilith," I held the phone up to my ear, my voice thick with disappointment."To what do I owe this conversa–" "Why haven't the papers been signed?" Her voice came rushed, barely above a whisper."What papers?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "The divorce papers I dropped almost a month ago." She answered and my head snapped up the dining table to the half empty sitting room, my eyes landing on the papers Lilith had left on the table weeks ago.I rolled my eyes, rubbing my fingers against my temples. I had completely forgotten about those papers, hoping she wouldn't bug me about it."Lilith," I started, frantically searching for a reason why I hadn't signed and why I wouldn't sign them, not untiti find a way to bypass the clause that stated my remaining assets had to be divided."Don't patronize me, Owen." She answered coldly, cutting me off."I need those papers signed by tomorrow." She snapped. "Lilith, I'm not signing your papers." I stated, tapping my fin
