All Chapters of Abandoned at the Altar, Chosen by the Billionaire : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

CHAPTER 131YANA"I feel so bad for her," I say as Kennedy closes the door quietly. We have been with Vera for a while, and when she eventually fell asleep, we decided to leave her to rest. I've never seen Vera that way, and it would surely stay with me for a while."Same here. You never know what people are going through," Kennedy replies before we turn to head to the elevator."I would have never thought Vera thought of herself that way." I mean, she has always been so confident in her looks and herself. I had to struggle with myself for years, especially since my mom wouldn't stop commenting on every single thing, wanting me to be like she wanted. Yet, Vera, whom I sometimes get jealous of, was also feeling the same pressure."Now I know why she dated an asshole like Shane when he didn't deserve her. How I wish I could see him now and knead him in the balls." She squeezes her face, tightens her fist and raises her legs like he's actually in front of her, and I let out a chuckle. Th

CHAPTER 133YANA"What's going on?" I ask, my eyes bouncing between Mona and others. They've just returned from their meeting, and the dejection on their faces tells me something is wrong. I couldn't attend the meeting since I had a meeting with the animation team. In the past few days, I haven't really contributed much in my department or worked as much as before since I had to divide my time between the adaptation team and my department. Though Brianna's frustrating nature is back, and she enjoys countering me whenever we have a meeting with the adaptation team, when we get back to work, she makes sure to remind me that she's still my manager here. It has been infuriating dealing with her, and I'm tempted to show her I still have more power concerning the adaptation, but I know how well others are working."He just fired another person," Mona replies, slamming her notebook on her desk.My brows furrow. "He? You mean Luis?"She looks at me like I've forgotten that the only person ca

CHAPTER 135YANA"Congratulations on your win," Luis and I say in unison as Lilica walks up to us with a small smile."But I didn't win." She stomps her feet on the ground."Second is impressive, Lilica. You can always win next time," Luis tells her.She puckers her lips. "But mummy won't buy me anything again."I smile. "I'll definitely buy whatever you want. Just tell me when we get back home, and everything will be ready soon."Her face lights up. "Really?""Lilica darling," Adrian's annoying voice comes from behind Lilica before I can reply her."Daddy also watched your performance," he continues, smiling widely as Lilica steps closer to Luis, who wraps his arms around her shoulder."You were great. Though you made some mistakes, aren't you excited that your dad came to watch you?" He flashes her his thumbs, his fake smile widening. If anyone didn't know better, one would think he's actually trying to put in an effort to get to know her, but I'm certain of his deal now. I'm sure

CHAPTER 137YANA "Luis!" I call as I walk into the house, but Spencer holds the door before I can close it."Let go!" I shoot him a glare.He smiles as he peeps into the house. "Think about it and call me when you have a positive answer. I love you."I slam the door shut in his face. Such an asshole! When I turn back, Luis is no longer in the living room. I let out an exhale before heading to his room.After knocking twice on his door and without any response, I knew he was definitely mad at me. Anyone would have misunderstood the gesture earlier, and Spencer wouldn't stop acting like we got together or something.Ultimately, I push his door open and walk into his room. Luis turns back, his expression unreadable."It's basic courtesy to knock, Yana. You can't just barge into my room," he snaps."You weren't answering, so..."He cuts in sharply. "So you thought it was best to barge in, right? Have you forgotten the rules?"My heart sinks. "Rules?"He nods. "Yeah, the rules. We are not

CHAPTER 139YANA Luis left the house earlier than usual. I should have known that meant something because he's the type who works late into the night. Back home yesterday, he had been in his study all day long and only came out once for dinner, during which he only ended up picking his food. He didn't eat breakfast and lunch and disguised it as being busy, but I know he was just trying to keep himself busy because of the anniversary.Today is Scarlett's death anniversary, and even though it's a Monday, Luis only came in to work and spent a few hours before disappearing. He didn't even tell me where he was going or reply to my text messages. Imagine my shock when I went to his office and his secretary told me he had already clocked out hours ago.When I arrive home, Lilica is in the living room colouring on her colouring book, and after the usual exchange of pleasantries, I head to my room. Pulling out my phone, I glance down at my messages, but nothing came from Luis. At this point,
