Lahat ng Kabanata ng After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

The atmosphere between them definitely didn’t look like that of ordinary friends.Fiona gripped her phone so tightly that, for one furious second, she wanted to reach through the screen and claw up Lucas’s face.They hadn’t even broken up yet, had they?How dare he turn around and flirt with another woman?And he was smiling with her, laughing with her, looking perfectly at ease.This was cheating.Blatant cheating.Furious, Fiona immediately typed out a message and sent it to Lucas.A “Not Delivered” alert appeared beneath it.Only then did she remember that Lucas had blocked her long ago.She called him next.The call wouldn’t go through.He had blocked her number too.She felt like a trapped animal, her rage burning through her with nowhere to go.She shot to her feet and shouted toward the door, “Get the car ready!”At the restaurant, Lucas finished paying the bill and left with Vivian.Xena, who had been hiding in the corner the whole time, immediately grabbed Tess

“So Vivian can have you, but I can't? What does she have that I don’t?”Fiona shrugged off her coat and let it drop to the floor.Underneath, she wore nothing but a piece of lingerie far too revealing for the hallway, making her intentions painfully clear. It hugged her gorgeous curves in all the right places, and the sight of her flawless skin and full chest was enough to make any man's pulse spike.Lucas watched with cold eyes and felt absolutely nothing.“Get out.”Fiona ignored him. She walked straight up to him, wrapped her arms around his, and pressed herself close.“Lucas, I’m not leaving tonight.”She hated the idea of anything that belonged to her carrying another woman’s scent.Whatever Vivian had left on Lucas, Fiona wanted to erase it all.She slipped her fingers beneath the hem of his shirt, sliding them lower and lower toward his most sensitive areas. But right before she could reach the edge, Lucas caught her wrist.Fiona looked up and met his dark eyes.There

“If you walk away, the tenants downstairs will be thrown out of this building by the end of the day.”Lucas spun back around. “Fiona, what the hell are you trying to do?”He didn’t know the downstairs neighbors well, but they would nod and say hello whenever they ran into each other.He had never imagined Fiona would use them to threaten him.“Why are you so worked up?” Fiona said lightly. “I just want you to have breakfast with me.”She opened the door wider and gestured for him to come in.Seeing the anger on his face, and knowing he could do nothing about it, filled her with satisfaction.She should have done this from the very beginning.She was Fiona Shaw, the current head of the Shaw family. She had money, power, and status.Whatever she wanted, people rushed to deliver it to her.So what right did Lucas have to reject her again and again?She had been far too lenient with him before.From the start, she should have used her power to keep him firmly by her side.As f

The living room finally fell quiet.Lucas let out a heavy breath of relief.Fiona was far too obsessive now, so much so that he didn’t even know what to do with her anymore.He started to wonder how he had fallen for Fiona in the first place.Was it because they had grown up together and feelings had formed over time?He couldn’t really remember anymore.Those feelings had lasted too long and cut too deep. They were almost part of him now.At this point, trying to find where it had all begun was impossible.His phone rang in his pocket.When Lucas saw the number on the screen, he answered immediately.A gentle female voice came from the other end.“Is this Mr. York? We’ve reviewed the résumé you sent last night, and you fit our hiring requirements very well.“When would you be available for an interview?”Lucas gave her a time, and she agreed right away.“Great. We’ll send the interview details to you by text shortly. Is there anything else you’d like to ask?”Lucas clea

Soon, it was the day before Shaw Corporation’s annual gala.That evening, Lucas tested the waters and asked Fiona about the gala.Fiona thought he was feeling insecure, so she seriously promised him that he would be her only date for the night.Lucas was speechless.Was Zac completely useless?Lucas had gone out of his way to make two private posts just to provoke him, yet Zac still hadn’t gone running to Fiona to make a scene.Apparently, being her precious first love wasn’t as powerful as Lucas had expected.Still, knowing Zac, there was no way he would let this go so easily.Lucas would wait and see.He was sure Zac would pull something at the gala.Shaw Corporation’s annual gala was always a grand affair.Besides the company employees, they also invited business partners and important guests.The Shaw family had connections all over Jasper City, so the guests who attended were either rich, powerful, or famous in their circles.This year was no exception.To show how m
