All Chapters of Abandoned at the Altar, Chosen by the Billionaire : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 61LUIS"When can we leave?" I question, turning to the nurse who came to check up on Lilica. She has been sleeping for quite a while now, and we're starting to get worried."Tonight."Yana let's out a sigh of relief beside me."But she's not waking up."The nurse turns to us with a small smile on her face."She'll wake up soon, don't worry," she says in an assuring tone, and I want to believe her. I just find it so weird that she has been asleep for hours.The nurse takes her leave after that, and Yana turns to me."Has Margaret said anything?" She asks in a low tone. I can feel the fear in her voice.For the first time in a while, I was scared too. I thought we would lose her. It almost felt like history was repeating itself. I was expecting Margaret to tell me they would be taking Lilica back to the care facility once she gets well, but thankfully, she decided to spare us."She says they'll be watching. We are still under review, but currently, it doesn't look like they'll

CHAPTER 63LUIS"Luis! Luis!!" Kasey calls urgently as she hurries after me. I can hear her fast footsteps behind me, but I don't stop until she eventually grabs my hand. I let out a sigh before turning to her. "Kasey, I think you should go back inside. It's cold."She looks up at me, a flicker of sadness in her eyes."Did mom really do it intentionally?" She asks in a skeptical tone, obviously trying to think otherwise. I know deep down, even from when she found out about the candy, she knew her mother had planned the whole thing right from the beginning. It's something she's capable of, so it's nothing surprising at all. I look down at her. "You know it, Kasey."She runs her hand through her hair and looks away. "I can't believe this." She faces me. "She would really go as far as putting a kid's life in danger?"I shrug. "She doesn't care anymore. She doesn't care about who it affects or how she tries to hurt me. All she wants is to hurt me."She lets out a frustrated sigh. "This

CHAPTER 65YANAWe arrive at the beautiful hotel in Singapore, and I'm wowed. I've never been to Singapore, and neither have I attended a large-scale event like this. Back in my old workplace, which was a startup back then, we never really attended an international expo or investors summit like this, so I'm actually glad I get to follow them. Just that Brianns and Valeria, whom she insisted on bringing along, are here too. I'm not okay being in the same space with them for a few days and having to see their faces the whole time, but I won't let them ruin this period for me. "You're staying in one room?" Brianna asks in a confused tone as we stop in front of the door. I'm just as confused as she is, but I couldn't ask about it publicly when we were given the keys to our room.There were other employees of the company at the hotel, too, so I wouldn't want to raise any suspicions about asking why I have to share a room with Luis. Though others are definitely staying in a twin room, I'

CHAPTER 67YANAAs soon as I enter our hotel room, I pull off my heels and dump the purse on the chaise longue before sinking into the armchair.Another wave of anger courses through me as I remember how Shane had ruined the whole night for me. I know I have to make sure he doesn't ruin the whole trip for me, but seeing him just brings back those days.The days I tried everything to please my parents. The periods I listened to them and met with Shane, even though I never liked him, but they had been planning our marriage even before telling me anything.I met with him, and he turned out to be the most awful creature on earth, yet even after I told my parents he tried to rape me, they thought I was only exaggerating things. My mom even told me it wasn't a big deal since we were planning to get married already.If Shane's girlfriend hadn't beaten me up back then, they wouldn't have stopped. Even while I was with Spencer and they found out Shane had already ended things with his crazy gi

CHAPTER 69YANAAs everyone saunters out of the conference room, Brianna calls me back. I know it's to chastise me about the missing slides, which I'm sure she has something to do with, because I'm sure I sent the updated file to her even before we came down to Singapore. She had only given me the flash drive as I walked into the conference room that morning, and since I was the first presenter, I didn't get the chance to go over it this morning. There's no way she can pin this on me because she's technically the one at fault. "Are you planning to tarnish the company's name?" Her voice pierces through my thoughts, and I pull my brows together."What do you mean?" I counter back. We are the only ones left in the room now. "What was that presentation about? How come your slides were missing, and you couldn't even give a proper presentation?"My lips press together. "I'm sure everyone appreciated my presentation; also, the missing slides weren't my fault, and even though they were mis
