All Chapters of AGAINST ALL ODDS : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SYBIL EAGAN POV Today was going to be the happiest day of my life, because despite all the opposition, the rejections of my parents, and all the trials I'd passed through, I was finally going to tie the knot with the only man that my heart had ever beat for.I and Dian Angelo was finally going to be together, and I just wanted to scream for the whole world to know how happy I was.My parents were not in support and had cut me off, so it was going to be a small ceremony at a small chapel with only our close friends in attendance, but it couldn't be more perfect. I only wanted Dian. He was my soulmate. Kushi stepped into the room, a wide smile on her face and a bottle of champagne. I raised a brow, my gaze pointedly on the bottle in her hand. Kushi scoffed, waving the bottle wildly. "This is for the after-party girl, no need to give me that look. Anyways, you look freaking gorgeous. Dian is such a lucky guy, I swear" she gushed, moving towards me, an appraising look in her eyes as sh

SYBIL POV"You look like you need to sleep for five days straight," Dave said with a worried smile on his face as he stared at my image.I forced a smile and dropped my laptop on the table, so I could speak with Dave while also putting away the rest of my stuff. I stepped away from the laptop to get all my work drives. This way, I could at least tie up some of the loose ends at work. Once I finished, I sat back down at the edge of the bed and really took a closer look at Dave's face. "Yeah. Well, you look like you need to wash whatever that is off your face" I motioned to the ash face mask he was wearing.He smirked. "This is how I get all the girls, boss. I'm already ugly enough," he paused and I raised a brow waiting for the question I knew he really wanted to ask. "How's Kushi doing?""Why don't you just call her and find out".Dave sighed then inhaled deeply, his smile slipping. "No way. She'd say I'm a stalker and all that. Don't want a lawsuit. Hey, what happened to your phone?

SYBIL POVIt had been two days, two days of me hiding away in my room to avoid the cringe of bumping into Seth Rodriguez after how our last meeting ended.It was utterly mortifying that I'd freaked out just because I thought he was going to kiss me, when he might have just been leaning in closer to get a closer look, but who in their right mind did that? And I just had to shove him so hard. I tugged at my hair, then dropped into the sofa as I'd come to do every passing minute. Why was my life such a freaking nightmare? My phone pinged alerting me of a video call and I answered once I saw who it was."Guess who just dropped in!" Zach gushed and just seeing his face immediately put me in a good mood. He was one of the few people who had wormed their way into my life by being there when I started having problems with my parents."Don't tell me Kushi convinced you to come to keep me company" I gasped, my eyes widening as I saw the familiar setting behind him. He was definitely at the re

SYBIL EAGAN POV"I honestly do not understand this switch, Sybil. You were ok just some minutes ago" Zach worried, his eyes trying to catch mine. "Are you mad that I talked with Miguel for so long, because if you are, I don't even know what to tell you right now"?I stared at the liquor I'd poured for myself, my gaze boring into the liquid that I hadn't quite worked up the nerve to drink. "I just saw Dian" Zach choked on whatever he wanted to say, took a pause, and I finally met his gaze. He looked dumbfounded."What?" He finally gasped, a disbelieving look on his face. "I'm not sure I heard you right...""I said I fucking just saw Dian" I yelled, then grabbed the glass in front of me, but Zach smacked it out of my hand before I could drink it. Staring at the shattered content, my gaze snapped to Zach and I glared, the anger in my chest urging me to pour out all the fury I felt onto him, but Zach looked furious too."And what if you saw Dian, what the fuck does that have to do with a

SYBIL EAGAN POV."Just let it go Zach" I murmured in a low voice, feeling a little bit out of it as Zach continued to fume. "Why did you let him talk to you like that, ugh! I should have punched him, that ass" Zach yelled, and I could literally see the steams coming out of his ears. "The nerve of that guy, after what he did to you"."Enough already!" I yelled, my hands reaching up to cover my ears. Zach rushed toward me, worry, the most prominent feature on his face. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go on about him like that. Are you ok".I stared at him, then looked away. "I'd be lying if I said I was so I won't. What was Dian going on about Zach... I don't understand why he will accuse me like that... I was literally a virgin when we were together, and he didn't even have sex with me, I was with no one but him, and after the wedding, I didn't go out with anyone, so why was he saying that horrible stuff about me" I asked, my gaze snapping back to Zach's as if he was the one who held al
