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 151 - チャプター 160

LILITH "You're... you're getting married?" I whispered, the surprise and the sudden, sharp betrayal hitting me harder than the shock of my own divorce. Marcus, my ever devoted admirer, the man who had been chasing me and offering me financial refuge for years, the one I always knew I could rely on for a loan or a favor, was getting married to someone else. "Yes, Lilith, I am," he confirmed, his voice regaining a touch of the old Marcus confidence, but this time, it was different. I felt a cold wave wash over me, a realization that my biggest, most reliable safety net had just been taken away, and that the 'urgent' call had been nothing more than an deliberate, cruel way to deliver this final, crushing, heartbreaking blow, a way for him to finally cut ties and show me that he was moving on, completely and utterly. "I thought you called me here because of Ryan, you said it changed everything," I stammered, feeling utterly shocked and betrayed. "It did change everything, Lilith," M

OWEN"Hey! You can't park here!" The knocking on the window was dulled out by the loud music blasting from the car's system.The knocking came again and I groaned, winding the window down so I could see the face matched to the angry voice that had been yelling muffled words to me for the past ten minutes."How can I help you, sir?" I asked, my voice as polite as I could make it. The man held his hand up to his nose, his face scrunching up into a frown then a confused expression."You can't park here mister." He said, his voice firm and thick with anger as his eyes searched the car suspiciously. "I won't be here long," I muttered, my hand already on the button to wind up the window when the man angrily slammed his hand down on the window, holding it down."This is a fire lane, and you're blocking the delivery entrance for the bakery.""I won't be here long," I muttered dismissively, my hand already on the button to wind up the window, signaling the end of the conversation because I di

LILITH"Where is she?!" I grabbed the nearest nurse in my way, desperately scanning the room for the person in a white coat."Excuse me, Ma'am." The nurse wheezed out as she tried to struggled out of my grip."Tell me it's a lie!" I pulled on her dress vigorously, tears beginning to sting at the back of my eyes."Calm down, Ma'am." She gripped the edge of my dress, trying to loosen my grip."What's going on here?" A man in scrubs walked up to us, confusion and concern etched to his face."She just walked in here and grabbed me, not specifying what issues she has or who she is looking for." The nurse rushed out, clearly frightened by my sudden outburst."Ma'am, if you could please take a seat, we'll attend to you shortly." The man urged me."I need you to breathe, okay? If you could please just take a seat right here, we'll attend to you shortly and figure out how to help you," the man repeated to me, his voice deep and steady, as he gently wrapped a large hand around mine and pulled m

ELOWENI didn't even ask where "here" was because I was already looking for my keys."What?!" I shot up on my feet, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion."Ryan?" I repeated, glancing at Celeste through the corner of my eyes. "What's going on? Is something wrong with Ryan?" Celeste asked, concern thick and evident in the tone of her voice as she strolled in my direction."I'm sorry, maybe you're mistaken, it's probably not my Ry–""Ryan Sylvarn, isn't it?" The man reconfirmed and I could feel the breath in my lungs suddenly disappear, leaving me shortly of air and my heart, barely beating.I glanced at the wall clock again with more fear in my heart as my trembling hands gripped my phone, pressing it against my ear tighter."What happened?" I asked, trying my very best to keep my voice calm and controlled."The bar downtown, hurry," the man rushed, his voice a little rushed."Wait, What's going on? Is he okay?" I rushed out, my voice slowly giving off my worry and anxiousness."Ma'am, yo

ELOWEN"Wait... Why are you here?" I asked, amidst sobs, my trembling hands desperately fighting against the wind as I tried to move my hair out of my wet face."Um... I came to get a drink here and cool off a bit..." Owen's voice trailed, his eyes running through my face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed."Did... did something happen?" He asked, extending a hand out to me which I avoided by taking a step back because the last thing I wanted was for him to touch me when my world was falling apart, even if part of me was screaming for someone to just hold me and tell me that everything was going to be fine."Um... No, I... I just... Something got into my eyes, that's all." I lied, quickly wiping my eyes with the back of my palm, trying to swallow the lump in my throat that felt like it was going to choke me, but the tears just kept coming."Are you sure you're okay?" He repeated, lifting a hand out to me again and stepping closer into my personal space, his voice dropping like he was try
