All Chapters of After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

LILITH "I'm sorry, Mrs Hill," I swallowed, my feets that had been involuntarily bouncing off the ground in anxiety slowed down and my throat tightened."Please, I really need this job, sir," I rushed out, the fear of yet another rejection already crawling through my veins.I had been searching for a job and each one never went past the interview phase, I was dismissed with the same reason of not being what they needed at that moment.Everything had fallen apart for me. I was practically begging for things I never thought in a thousand years I would. It was like I was cursed and I couldn't break the spell around me."Ma'am, you have a great CV and portfolio but..." He trailed, clearing his throat as he pushed in his glasses and leveled the papers in his hand by hitting the ends on the table."I'm not what your company needs right now." I said slowly, lowering my head to my feet."I'm sorry, Mrs Hill." He apologised but it only fueled the anger boiling inside me. I was mad that my life

OWEN "He did what?" I repeated, my mind hazy and my ears rejecting the last set of words I had just heard."No, check again, that's not possible." I moved towards the dinning table, settling down and pulling my laptop open as I searched for the current market stocks."I just saw the news now after I received a call from his personal assistant." I sighed, running a hand through my hair in frustration."How could this have happened?!" I asked as my eyes landed on the stocks for my company that was already below the standard range and was still going down."Well, sir, I have been trying to reach to let you know of the current situation but you were not picking up, nor replying my emails about them." He rushed, taking a deep breath afterwards."Fuck!" I sighed, running a shaky hand through my hair.The desperation was evident as my eyes landed on the ticker for my company, the stock was already taking a dive, sitting below the standard range, the red arrow indicating its gradual decline.

ELOWEN"How do I find out she'd listen?" I paused by the door frame leading to Ryan's room, leaning in slightly.Are they talking about me? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and moved a little bit closer, practically holding the door frame for support."Only when you try.""You need to understand she doesn't need your protection Ryan, she's stronger than you think." Celeste said, her voice low and controlled.At least she understood how I feel, and I appreciated the fact that she did, even when Ryan didn't understand how I felt and a spark of relief flickered inside me, knowing someone in this house was on my side and understood why his actions had hurt me so deeply.I listened intently as Ryan started up again, his voice filled with a hint of anger. "I feel so stupid, Celeste, I truly thought I was doing the right thing for her but I was so wrong," he confessed, the words thick with painful regret. "I am so incredibly sorry for invading her privacy like that, for making a move th

ELOWEN"Um..." I pulled away from him slowly, as I fiddled with my fingers. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, searching my face with a sad look in his eyes. "Gattina, is something wrong?" He asked, his eyes still searching my face intently, an expression of confusion etched to his face."Um..." I stammered, my brain searching for a way to ask about the conversation he had with Celeste few minutes ago."You know you can talk to me right?" He asked, taking a close closer, reducing the distance between us by half an inch."I know..." I trailed, looking everywhere else but his face as I drew tiny circles onto the ground with my toe."You promise not to keep anything else away from me right?" I asked, desperately trying to swallow the lump that had been stuck in my throat since I overheard their conversation about me. "I promise." He stated firmly, making a criss-cross over his chest with his right hand, then raising it to the air as he shut his eye momentarily, a gesture of genuine hon

LILITH"Hey, I came as fast as I could." I said hurriedly as I half sprinted to the corner of the restaurant Marcus was waving at me from."Have a seat," he started and I lowered myself to the seat in front of him."It sounded urgent, what's up?" I asked, grabbing the glass of water in front of him and chugging it down.Lowering the glass, I noticed he didn't look as troubled as he sounded on the phone instead he looked calm, too calm."Marcus," I called out, clearing my throat loudly as I lowered the cup back to the table, forcing myself to relax into the chair as I stared intently at him."Yes, Lilith," he replied, and his voice was completely level, completely devoid of the frantic energy he had displayed on the phone."Why were you sounding so frantic over the phone?" I asked, my heartbeat finally stabilizing enough for me to process his lack of panic. "You sounded like there was an emergency, like the police were after you or something.""Would you want something to eat?" he ask
