All Chapters of A Bride for Elizalde, Highest Bidder: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lizzie . It's all over the internet. The company is facing bankruptcy, and the paparazzi are following Snow, asking questions about it. Snow kept her mouth shut. She poses, smiles perfectly, and acts as if not affected. My father's image was all over the media and the internet, including my stepmother's. They look good together, but she's an immature woman like her daughter, my stepsister, Snow. "Are you sure about it, Liz? I don't think your stepmother will sit back and watch your father's kingdom fall. I can smell trouble. Just be prepared, okay?" I blinked my eyes and sighed. Emma never liked Kristoff, my stepmom and my stepsister. After a heart-to-heart talk with my father, he finally gave up and gave way to my decision. And today, I will visit Kristoff to talk to him about the company. After that, it's time for us to settle down. "I don't trust him, Liz. I have a bad feeling about Kristoff. He's the type of person who always takes advantage of your kindness. Can't you se

Elizalde . Okay, let's start the real deal. I composed myself, and Donatello opened the door for me. He winked, and I swallowed hard. I've heard all their conversation. This room was built to have a secret room for hearing conversations on the other side. This is where most of my business deals happen whenever I want to do a background check before signing them into our business. When our eyes met, I immediately felt an electrifying feeling inside me. Dammit. Why do I feel this every time I see her? I want to get it out of my system. Our eyes locked. Her deep brown eyes met my blue ones. My jaw tightened as I stepped inside, and she blinked in astonishment when I stopped a meter in front of her. Donatello cleared his throat and introduced me to her. She didn't say a word. Not even a single smile on her face. She remains the same. When I sat down, she turned on her back and took a deep breath. I can feel her tense, which gives me a silver lining of hope. I smiled, but it was qui

Elizalde . "So, are you ready to be tied up?" Faustino formally asked in the corner. All the boys looked at him. "You can't be that serious, Zalde. I thought it was Nestor's turn. But, unfortunately, it looks like your wedding will happen soon before his." Nathaniel chuckled. He looked at Nestor jokingly. "Everyone has its own time, you idiot!" Neo wrapped his arms around Nathaniel's neck, and the young idiot almost choked. Everyone laughs. It was evident Nathaniel was only acting, a character of him. "Cheers for you, bro!" Nestor raised his glass of wine formally, "Congratulations," he continued. "It's not yet final, and I don't want a celebration." I opposed. I have a terrible feeling that something will happen sooner or later. However, reading Lizzie's behavior yesterday, she cannot quickly agree. So, although I am confident with a fifty-fifty chance of winning, I still have to take precautions. It's too early for a celebration. "Who's the lucky girl?" Neo asked. He's the t

Lizzie . Seeing Elizalde's mother in a condition, I didn't expect this big blow. She lost a lot of weight. She's in a battle for something about her health. It's still the same personality as what I remembered. Full of life and inspiration. "You know what? I used to keep every recipe of your mother in my diary. So I told Elizalde that I'm keeping them for you. And if the two of you will have kids, I want to cook for them. I hope I am still alive if that happens." Her eyes twinkled as she smiled at me. I smiled back with sincerity. I adore and understand now why she was away for many years in America. It has something to do with her cancer treatment. "Thank you," I politely said when she gave me the lemon ginger tea she had made from scratch. I tasted it. The scent reminds me of my mother, and the warmth provides a beautiful feeling that reminds me of yesterday. We both look at the garden through the glass window of this kitchen. We were quiet. It was dark outside, but the lights

Lizzie . For better, for worse. . . I do hope it's all for the better. Because here I am, facing my worst nightmare! For richer, for poorer. . . For richer, I guess. I agreed to this deal because my father's business needs Elizalde's wealth. And here I am, being a bitch gold digger like those nasty comments I read on the internet earlier, saying that if not for Elizalde's money, I wouldn't tie the knot with him this easy. Damn, that was harsh and absolutely the truth. In sickness and in health. . . Oh well, at least I can assure him I will care for him if he gets sick. I don't care about his health! Till death do us part. . . Yes, until hell do us part! "Elizalde El Del Real, you may now kiss your bride," Judge Suzanne speaks. Her lips pressed together, holding a simple smile while looking at the two of us. I looked at Elizalde, and my knees were shaking. Is he going to do the kiss like he did earlier? Damn him! His holding my hands and giving me a fake smile makes me want
