After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

RYAN"Is this everything?" The head of security nodded, gesturing for me to take a look at the time the video ended, signifying it was close to that day's date. He double clicked on the mouse, taking the video back by a few hours."That's all the footage I could get, sir." Sandra replied from behind. I sighed, running a hand through my hair."How could it capture everything except the dark figure Celeste said Elowen saw. The only explanation was the figure wasn't actually there, or it was someone who knew the camera placements too well and was able to avoid being caught on film."This is not good," I muttered to myself. This was the only means I had to catch the stalker and my plan fall through.I tapped my chin impatiently and turned to Sandra. "If there's a change of any kind, don't hesitate to let me know." She nodded, stepping out of the way for me to walk through.What other means could I use to figure out who it was that was frightening Elowen?I stopped at the elevator, tapping

RYAN "Shit!" I hit the steering wheel violently letting off a loud horn as I nervously tapped the fingers of the second hand nervously on the wheel as I gripped it tighter."Come on!" I hit the wheel again harder this hard as I observed the traffic light go green.I glanced at the digital clock on the screen of the car. I was almost three hours late to pick Elowen from work as I had promised."Finally!" I exclaimed and stopped on the accelerator, speeding up as I took the next corner to her office block.I jumped out of the car and ran up to the elevator, impatiently tapping my feet on the ground as I waited for the elevator to open."Is the building empty?" I asked the man in a security uniform as the elevator doors pulled open. He nodded and I sighed, pulling my hand through my hair.How would she have found her way back home? I promised I would get her back home."Everyone?" I asked, looking around for a sign of her anywhere."Yes sir." He replied, making my heart sink deeper than

OWEN"I said I want to see Elowen!" I yelled yet again for the fifteenth time since I arrived at the office."And I already told you, you can't go in, sir." The security man countered, blocking my path."Since when can I not go into the office building?" I asked, anger and frustration already seeping into my veins."It was an order given sir," he answered and I paused, looking around."Given by who?" I asked desperately. "Who the fuck gave such a rule?!" I yelled, trying to push my way through but he didn't budge."That's not disclosed to strangers sir," he answered but it only fueled the anger I felt within me. "I said I want to see Elowen." I yelled out again, moving closer until I was pressed against the security guard's firm chest."And I said you can't go in." He answered again, pushing me back slightly with his weight. "Mrs Sylvarn cannot be seen by you at the moment sir." I took a step back, my veins bubbling with anger."Mrs Sylvarn?" I repeated like the name was foreign. "W

ELOWEN"What is he doing here?" Celeste asked and I shrugged, furrowing my eyebrows."I'm as lost as you are right now." I confessed, my gaze on the closed entrance door."How did he get past the guards?" I asked, my voice thinning out."Today is their day off, Ryan had them take one." Celeste informed me and I sighed."Great timing." I sighed and pressed my finger against my temples in frustration. "Do you want me to get the door for you instead?" She asked, genuine concern in her eyes."Tell him you're not in?" She added immediately and I shook my head almost immediately."The fact that he came here, means he's aware of my presence," I lamented, lowly."And knowing Owen, he wouldn't leave that easily." I added, tapping a finger on my lower lip.Celeste nodded, determination in her eyes. “Fine, let’s go out there together then, two against one, we’ll minimize the damage.”I looked at her, appreciating the support, but still hesitated. “You don’t have to get involved, Celeste.”“Are

RYAN"You know I wouldn't do that right?" I scanned her face intently, hoping I wouldn't see any sign of hesitation in them and that I wouldn't be disappointed despite the progress we've had so far."I know..." She finally muttered, but her eyes were no longer focused on mine, they were fixed on the hand I still had protectively around her.I chuckled nervously and let go of her gently and the intensity in her face eased up a little."I'm sorry for that," I rubbed the back of my neck, looking everywhere else but her eyes."It-it's alright." She stammered, fiddling with her fingers, her eyes fixed on the ground."Elowen, please look at me," I pleaded, my voice soft but insistent because I needed to see her eyes, I needed to know what she was thinking, because her silence was killing me.She slowly lifted her gaze, meeting mine and for a brief, terrifying moment and I saw a flicker of doubt, of uncertainty that made my heart slip a beat but then, she took a deep breath, and a small misc
