All Chapters of Betraying the Heiress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I exhaled the last smoke I smoked from the cigarette I was holding while looking up to watch the stars. I looked down at the cigarette I was holding and then shook it before sighing. I immediately looked for the trash can to throw it there. I'm not overthinking but I'm just very stressed right now and I think that's the only way to reduce the stress I'm feeling right now. I lost one of my patients today. I did everything I could but there was nothing because that was all his life could handle. As a doctor, it is very heartbreaking to lose a patient, I feel that I have not fulfilled my duty. Add to that the feeling of parents losing their child. It's so heartbreaking and I know the feeling of losing a child because I've experienced something like that.I took a deep breath and immediately went straight to the trash. I'm out of the house today because I don't want to spoil my sister's party. I left my friends there for a while because I also wanted to be alone."Don't blame yourself,

I looked at myself in the big mirror in my room. I just finished fixing it in the dressing room here at home but I went back to my room so I could see myself better. I'm wearing a silver silky dress and it's backless. My three-inch heels are also silver and I only put a little jewelry on my body. I don't want others to think that I prepared too much to attend the party that my Mom was talking about. I also don't want to look bad in front of many people, especially since my Mom will receive an award for our company.My friends called me a few times earlier, but as time went on, they didn't bother me anymore. Maybe they were too busy with the arrangements and maybe they thought that I wouldn't be there. "Sister, Eli! Is it true that Josiah will attend that party too?" Stella asked me when she suddenly entered my room.I looked at her and raised an eyebrow at her. When she saw my raised eyebrows, she sighed and did nothing but go out of my room again to knock. I grinned and shook my hea

"Thank you,"I looked at Stefan who was smiling while staring at me. We were starting to dance now and I couldn't look directly at him. I'm still a bit annoyed because the few people who saw us, if they weren't teasing us, they were taking pictures of us. "This is gonna be yours last. Don't forget my condition," I said to him using my stubborn attitude toward him. He laughed so I didn't even look at him. I don't know what he ate. For sure he has been seeing me at school before and I just don't understand why he is paying attention to me now. "Oh come on, Eli. We just met and we're schoolmates. Why don't we try to be friends with each other?" he answered and asked me. "I already have friends," I answered him. "I know but I still want to be friends with you. Can we? Please?" He pleaded like a child."I'll think about it first," I answered him because I'm sure he won't stop me again. He was about to speak when Jackson suddenly appeared at our side causing Stefan and me to turn arou

"Why is she here? Did Mom let her?" I asked. "I don't know. I saw her here earlier and she's your responsibility here. Just keep an eye on it," she answered and then left me there completely. I was in agony and shook because I was going to be a baby sitter now! And I really have to keep an eye on that girl especially since I found out that she has a boyfriend. I don't know that man, that's why I don't trust that he is with my sister now. I drank my last shot again and asked for two more shots before finally leaving to go back to our table because my friends might be looking for me. They looked up at me when I got there, especially Stefan, so I looked back at him with a frown. I was still wondering if there was dirt on my face because that man had been looking at me for a while. I couldn't help but notice because it was as if he was reading my mind every time he looked at me. "Vodka, Eli?" he asked. My lips lifted and looked at the two shots I was holding. That's why he was looki

"I woke up early so I could catch up with you," I answered then shrugged my shoulders. "Oh okay. Do you need anything? Money? No worries. I'm gonna transfer it to your account," Mommy said immediately, making me shake my head. "Mom, no. I need to tell you something," I told her. I don't need money because my account never runs out. That's not why I woke up early today either. "Oh my gosh, Scarlet. Don't surprise me," she said while pouring tea into her cup. "Listen to me carefully," I said and immediately saw Mommy nod at me. "I just discovered last night that Stella already has a boyfriend. Is there someone who asks your permission to court our Stella?" I asked.Mommy's eyes widened then she shook her head at me so I just nodded and sighed. "Maybe that's not her boyfriend. You know your sister has a lot of friends. Just like you and Josiah, maybe they were just best friends," Mommy said so I shook my head one after another. "Mom, no. And do you know what happened at our after
