Alle Kapitel von Lies in the Billionaire's Eyes: Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

Chapter 30“Are you sure you're okay?” Sean asked while he was busy driving me home. Since I saw that picture inside his drawer, my energy just subsided until it faded. All of a sudden, I felt feeble as if I'm gonna be bedridden. My heart is aching. I couldn't erase from my head how genuine Sean's smile was in that picture. I couldn't help but to compare how he flashes a smile at me. Are those genuine or just a fake one? “Yeah,” I replied. I was trying to pretend like I was fine after that, but I just can't. I can't stop myself from sharing with him the heaviness I feel right now. The problem is, my tongue couldn't even spill what the hell I am feeling. What's the point? I see no point telling it to him. I don't want to force him to forget Celeste, especially that she really was a big part of his life—not just his life but all of their lives. “You don't look fine since this afternoon. Do you feel sick?” He would really not believe me at this point. I am being too obvious that some

Chapter 32“Mom, Dad.” Sean stood up from his seat while I was left with my heart racing. How can't I? He just called them as his mother and father. I didn't know what to do so I quickly stood up as well and chose to bow my head in order for me to avoid their eyes. They both looked stunned the moment they saw me. Their eyes were not at Sean, they were at me. They are eyeing me as if I am a ghost. I easily absorbed everything. I almost forgot that I look like Celeste. “G-Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Cohen,” I tried to greet them as politely as I can. But it seems like everything is not yet processed in their heads. “Goodness,” his mother uttered, wearing those teary eyes. She walked towards me and even cupped my face gently. I couldn't move because of that. “Cele—”“Let's talk in the garden,” Sean said immediately before his mother could even say something to me. “Now,” Sean added, firmer than earlier. I watched them leave but they couldn't just easily take their eyes off me. B

Chapter 34 “Why am I here? I want to go home,” I tried to stand on my feet but ended up falling. My heart almost jumped out of my chest as I was waiting to land on the floor. However, Sean was too fast and he was able to catch me with his broad arms. That addictive scent invaded my nose again and I found myself closing my eyes. “I'm fine,” I uttered. Well, much better than earlier. I think I'm already sober now. I even pushed him away on his firm chest to use my remaining strength. “You're drunk, Dahlia. Do you really think I would let you go home in that condition?” He asked. I took that chance to stare at his handsome face. His eyes were dark and somehow cold as well. Is he upset again? He's obviously trying to hold it back for some reason. “I can handle myself,” I said firmly. I even had the audacity to throw his hands away from me as I started to take steps. We are in his room. He brought me here after getting me out of the bar. My head is still heavy. My world didn't stop m

Chapter 36“Your car is amazing,” Claire commented while her eyes couldn't stay in one place. She was roaming around the car, memorizing each corner of it. Sean was busy driving while I was beside him. I couldn't stop from smiling while listening and watching Claire act cutely. I can say how happy she is just by her face. “I never rode a car like this. My Mom and I are only taking a cab,” I paused while watching her in the rear mirror. This time, I eyed her directly from the back seat. Innocence was all over her face. “I never rode a car like this before either,” I mentioned. “But he is your boyfriend now,” honestly, I can't believe I am hearing all of this from a small and naive child like her. She talks like an adult who knows so much about life. “You'll get this if you work hard,” Sean uttered while driving. “I get a lot of awards at school. But sometimes, I'm trying not to. My mother is having a hard time paying the expenses,” Sean glanced at me the moment Claire said that.

Chapter 38I was crying all the time. I couldn't even refrain my tears from falling. The bleeding of my chest is extreme, to the point that Ford and Charlotte could probably hear me sobbing from the back seat. I was trying not to make any noise, but I just couldn't. “You should break up with Sean,” Charlotte said while we were stuck in the traffic. I saw how she was able to capture Ford's eyes as well while she remained firm, looking somewhere else. She's upset. I can easily tell that. I know this kind of tone of Charlotte. “Resign to him. I should not have let you apply in the first place,” she added and raised the tissue on her hand without even giving me an eye behind her. Charlotte was always like this when she knew that I was hurt. She would choose not to look at me rather than watching me cry. “I can't do that, Charlotte. I love Se—”“Fucking shit, Dahlia.” She said firmly. Her voice was sharp and I could see how much she was trying to stop the monster inside her. Charlotte
