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 161 - チャプター 170

RYAN"What's happening here?" I yelled, rushing in their direction, my vision finally losing its blurriness.I was right, I had seen Elowen and she wasn't alone, she was with Owen.And he had his hand on her, no around her, and she wasn't moving away from him which made my stomach twist into a knot because I couldn't understand why she was letting him touch her like that after everything he had done to break her heart.I could feel the air in my lungs tighten, my throat go dry and anger surge through my veins."I said," I began, my voice increasing slightly as I finally reached them and the tension in the air was overwhelming."What is going on here?" I emphasized, my voice increasing slightly as I grabbed Owen by the arm, yanking it away from Elowen's arm immediately.Owen stumbled back a step but he didn't look scared, instead he straightened his shoulders and looked me right in the eye with a look of pure disgust that made me want to swing at him right then and there."You're late,

ELOWEN"What? Go ahead, tell me I didn't hear it, that I was crazy, that maybe I had overheard the wrong conversation in your voice." I rushed out, my voice already breaking and my sight getting blurry by each blink of my eyes.I paused, watching his face, staring closely for an explanation, for a reason, for anything different, I was willing to take it whichever way he wanted to.But... Unfortunately, he hadn't said anything, he just stared at me with a mix of concern, shock and doubt in his eyes."Go ahead, tell me I'm delusional, I didn't hear you call me a payback plan for Owen, that I didn't hear you confirm all the accusations I had stood against for you." I continued, my fingers trembling as I pushed a lock of hair out of my face desperately."Gattina..." He started, his voice low but steady but instead of continuing, he held my eyes in a gaze filled with a concern I couldn't tell was real.No, I could tell... I could always tell, I just never saw a reason to–never allowed myse

RYAN"What the?" I ran my hand through my hair, confusion etched to my face as I spun around to face Owen.The anger pulsing my veins made my blood boil.I folded my hand into a fist, my jaw instinctively clenched and my heartbeat increasing by each breath I drew in and each exhale I made.I headed in Owen's direction, my hand already extending to his neck, all I wanted to do was strangle him to death. "If I found out you had anything to do with this, I'll make sure I get you back with everything I've got." I warned sternly, taking slow, deliberate steps towards him, my index finger extended as I pushed it into his chest.Owen didn’t even flinch, he stood there with that same crooked smile that made me want to tear his head off, his silence only fueling the fire burning in my chest. I lunged forward again, my fingers curling tightly around his collar as I jerked him toward me.My right hand pulled back, my knuckles set and ready to crack against his jaw, but just as I started to swi

RYAN"She's gone?" I repeated, my heart in my throat.I staggered to the armchair, slumping on it in frustration.The words I had dread, the words I never wished to hear, I didn't just hear it, it was true."Where did she go?" I asked, my voice lower than I expected, my tone deeper and laced with more brokenness than I expected.I had thought about this day, worked to void it but I never actually thought it would come to pass... I never expected it to come so soon."Gone to where?" I asked again, my voice wavering, my desperate attempt at covering up my broken insides failing woefully as I looked up at Celeste, hoping for any tiny bit of hope she could give me.Celeste didn't move from the doorway, she just looked at me with a cold stare that made me feel even worse, "Didn't you just say maybe this was all for the best and how she was just looking for an excuse to leave?". She reminded me."Why does it matter where she went, Ryan?" she asked, her voice sharp and unforgiving, "You jus

LILITHIt took a while to accept it but my mother was actually gone... And it was all because of me... No, because of Elowen.She caused all of this, if she hadn't stripped us of the power we had, mother wouldn't died.My mother would still be alive and breathing.It was all her fault... Owen's as well and I was going to make sure I took the two of them down with me.No matter how long it took and what it took, I was going to get them back."When can I have her body discharged?" I asked the man in a white coat behind me."Tomorrow, Mrs Hill." He replied, throwing me a small smile I despised so much."Please just call me Ms. Lilith," I corrected, the sound of Owen's name still dominating mine was digging a hole in my chest, a hole I was finding hard to get rid of, and I turned my back on the doctor to look at the cold, pale form of my mother one last time."I understand," the doctor said, his voice dropping to that soft, annoying tone people use when they think you’re about to break do
