All Chapters of Reborn: I Made My Best Friend Marry My Husband: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Amara's POVAfter Damian called me last night, I tried many ways to prevent him from visiting, but he insisted on coming over before going to meet Lily. I just prayed Lily would stop him from coming. The next day, I was trying to get ready to leave when my doorbell rang.“Damian…”“Hi baby,” he rushed in and kissed me like he was starved.“Stop!! What on earth are you doing?”I pushed him away, my heart filled with irritation.“What do you mean? I’m your boyfriend. Can’t I kiss my girlfriend?” he asked.I forced a smile.“Of course… just close the door, children might be passing.”He quickly did and turned to me like a hungry lion.“I’ve missed you so much.”I prayed in my heart for someone to save me from this man. I couldn’t even hide my disgust.“Damian, I haven’t showered yet, let me—”“No need,” he cut me off.“Damian, I haven’t eaten.”“We’ll order food later…”My doorbell rang again, and I was so relieved I rushed to the door. It was a delivery guy.“Are you Miss Williams?”“

Amara’s POV I was very happy the presentation went well because I had been feeling very nervous since yesterday that I couldn’t sleep properly. I walked back to where my position is at the staff office, still trying to calm my racing heart, my fingers slightly cold from the leftover tension. “Miss Amara,” the team leader called out. I turned towards him, forcing myself to stay composed. “First of all, congratulations on winning the manager over. He loved your pitch so much that he asked to work with you on it, and regarding your extra payment, we’ll—” “Wait, what…” I couldn’t let him finish, my heart skipping a beat at what I thought I just heard. “You don’t want to be paid extra?” he asked, confused, slightly frowning. “Of course I do. What did you say about the Mr Adrian thing? I don’t understand,” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady even though my mind was already spinning. “He asked about the project I gave you. I explained the condition of the company, so he o

Adrian’s POVAfter I sent for Amara, I was a bit nervous.That alone was strange, I’m not the nervous type.I’ve handled billion dollars deals, faced board members twice my age, and made decisions that could either build or destroy companies without even blinking.But was different.The thought of Amara makes me feel a lot of emotions.More than I’m comfortable admitting.I stood, then sat then stood again, adjusting my suit unconsciously as my eyes moved around my office, searching for the perfect position to sit in.Professional, Calm, Untouchable.I didn’t want her to see anything else.I walked behind my desk, sat down, then stood up again almost immediately.“No… this isn’t right,” I muttered under my breath.I moved to the side, then leaned against the table, then shook my head again.What am I even doing?I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled slowly.Get yourself together Adrian, This is just work.Just work.But even as I said that to myself I knew it wasn’t entirely true

Adrian’s POV After Amara left, my sister looked at me strangely. Her eyes narrowed slightly, like she was trying to figure me out or judge me. “What?” I asked, raising a brow. “You’re scaring her away. You look too serious,” she complained, folding her arms. I frowned slightly. “What do you want me to do? I can’t control how I look when I’m working.” That was the truth. Work was work. There was no space for softness or unnecessary emotions. Isabella sighed dramatically. “You should at least be a bit nicer. She’s probably still sad about her boyfriend and best friend’s behavior earlier today” She froze, her hand flying to her mouth. My expression changed instantly. “What did you say?” I asked slowly. My voice dropped. Cold. Sharp. “Nothing… forget about it,” she replied quickly, avoiding my gaze. I stood up. “Isabella,” I said firmly, “I don’t have all the time in the world to pet you. Start talking.” She stiffened. She knew that tone. I rarely used it but when I did,

Lily’s POVI did not remember how I got home.Everything after that moment in the restaurant felt like a blur.I couldn't forget the disappointment in their eyes.It was all supposed to go differently. I was supposed to be the one they pitied. They had always sided with me since high school. Why now? Because of a silly small lie, they turned their backs on me.Frankly speaking, if Amara didn't exist, I would have had a chance with Damian. I just took a quick shower and tried to forget about today. but I couldn't help but think How am I supposed to face Amara? I've never seen her like this. She's changed. Before, in high school, she'd always let me have my way. I think it's that stupid girl Isabel that has been poisoning her mind.Should I call her and apologize?I was torn on what to do.My fingers tightened around my phone as I sat on my bed. The room felt too quiet, too empty, like it was mocking me.My chest tightened, and before I knew it, tears filled my eyes.But this tim
