All Chapters of After My Groom Betrayed Me, I Took His Best Man: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

LILITH"Can I at least come inside Lilith?" She said, her voice tense yet even, a smile smile plastered on her face.A smile I wanted desperately to wipe off. Why was she here anyway?"And why would you want to do that?" I snapped and raised my hand to my chin, tapping it momentarily."If I remember clearly," I paused, my eyes dropping to her jewelry. It looked expensive and it ignited a type of fury I didn't know I had left."You took the company away from your own father!" I furrowed my eyebrows and scoffed."You must be so stupid." I lowered my voice a little, propping my hand up by my waist. "Do you think he wants you here?" Something flickered in her eyes, but it disappeared as soon as I saw it.I shook my head, "So you are still human apparently." She maintains the smile plastered on her face."I only did what my mother would have wanted me to." Her voice was still even but the intensity was gone.I scoffed, pointing towards dad's room, "You're certain that if that man descends

ELOWEN"Sandra, I wouldn't be coming into the office today, could you clear my schedule for the day and reschedule them for another?" I spoke to the speaker of my car."On it ma'am." I smiled. "Thank you." The line went dead.My drive to Ryan's company was quick and pushed by my disbelief that Owen would want to destroy his best friend's company.I didn't even know what to believe anymore. Owen was completely different from the man I had met in college five years ago and I couldn't blame him, he met Lilith and fell for her antics.What Lilith said replayed in my head and as much as I hated her, I also hated when she right. "A couple made in heaven wouldn't have let a dying sickness put asunder." I scoffed, the pain of how everything has ended with Owen rehashing the feelings of betrayal I was certain had been buried within me.I guess a part of me still hurts.Owen didn't love me as much I thought he did, as much as I lived him and it took Lilith's lies to help me see it. Maybe that

RYANShe flinched and lowered her head to the ground again. "I'm sorry sir." "Let this not repeat itself or else you'd be eavesdropping out this company walls." She shook and nodded."Of course sir." She walked quietly out of the office shutting the door behind her."Eavesdropping unintentionally?" Who does that?I rubbed my hand down my face and sighed. I already had a lot going on.I pulled my suit jacket off and something fell out of the inner pocket as I flapped it. "What the hell is that?" I lowered my eyes to the paper on the ground. "Oh." It was the paper Heather gave me earlier.I hung the suit around my chair and lowered my hand to pick the paper from the ground.I unfolded it and read what it said: Owen Hill is the culprit behind the report.I chuckled and re-read it again. "Excuse me?" I looked up at the door and chuckled again."What do you mean Owen is the culprit?" I said amidst the chuckles.I turned the paper around to check for anything else but it was blank on the

RYAN"I am going to kill that bastard!" I put the car in full throttle, stepping on the accelerator with full force."Shit!" I stepped on the brakes, tapping my fingers impatiently on the steering wheel as I waited out the red traffic light. I grabbed my phone and dialled Elowen's number again."....is not answering" I threw the phone down and gripped the steering wheel tight, my knuckles turned white."Where could she have gone?" I threw my phone back on the seat, hitting the accelerator as the light turned green. I alternated glances between the road and my phone, my worry was increasing and I don't have the slightest clue of where she could be.I turned into the street Owen lived on and grabbed my phone as I got out of the car. Getting to the door, I dialled the number again, looking around the area."What kind of neighborhood is th—" I paused as a heard a ring from inside the building. I let it ring out as I alternate glances between the dark windows and my phone screen.I tried

RYAN"Please leave, I want to be alone" The words rang in my head through the night, in the shower, during breakfast that I had alone and even on my ride to work. She was hurt and I could feel it. I couldn't bring myself to tell her I let him go because I promised to or because I had some time ago valued my friendship with Owen. I felt completely empty. I hadn't seen her all morning and she told Alfred to lay the message that she didn't want to see anyone. That anyone meant someone and that someone was clearly me.I sighed as I passed my car key to the valet and walked through the lobby doors."Congratulations!" A roar of voices arose, startling me causing me to pause in my tracks. I looked up at the crowd, each person with a bright smile on their faces.A banner was hung above them the words: CONGRATULATIONS SLYVARN INDUSTRIES boldly written in caps on it.I allow a smile to shape my face and the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. When I saw Tom in the distance, I beckoned for
