Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride: Bab 31 - Bab 40

GreedElizabeth's POV"Dad, why did Elder Martinez have to pick Saturday for the family dinner? Isn't that a bit far?" I grumbled, munching on a chunk of meat.Since I left Diego for my parents' house, my dad had refused to say anything about the family dinner until we had lunch. My patience was limited, but I had no choice. My father was a disciplinarian and wouldn't take no for an answer."Eat your meal, Liz" I heard my mum say, snapping me out of my thoughts.I stabbed the meat on my plate with fury. Unfortunately, a crack appeared on the plate. My heart stopped beating as I raised my head to look at the old man glaring hard at me.He banged his fist on the table and stood up abruptly. "You good-for-nothing child, why can't you do anything right?""I... I'm sorry. It was a mistake" I stuttered, my voice barely above a whisper.My words were meant to quench his anger, but it fueled it."A mistake, huh?" He snorted. "That's the only thing you've ever done in your life; make mistakes.

JealousyIsabella's POV*Hmph...think you're better than me, hun?* I scoffed inwardly, maintaining a perfunctory smile.So bold of her to have asked why I left Korea to come work at Spotlight Desk. Not even the higher-ups knew the truth.My mother had died a long time ago and...."Miss. Fernanda, Miss. Moretti" A thick voice called, interrupting my thoughts. My smile faded away as I shifted my gaze off Luisa to see who had called.It was a young-looking looking naive man dressed in a blue suit and a pair of black pants."What is it?" Luisa asked indifferently.The man bowed slightly. "I'm sorry if I interrupted your peaceful time. The thing is Mr. Gabriel wants you to come for a photoshoot right now with Miss. Moretti.""Now?" I arched an eyebrow. "How come we weren't informed about it beforehand?""We also weren't informed, but who are we to refuse the directors" the man replied."Ugh...who leads like that?" I scoffed, looking at Luisa who strangely remained silent.She sighed and ut

SuccessAdrian's POV"Let me go or this man is going down before your very eyes" Ivan yelled, stepping back. He pressed the gun tightly to the detective's skull and it clicked, causing everyone to shudder in fear.Everyone froze in fear, watching the detective try to wiggle his way out, but it was pointless. No one had expected such a swift change of position. A life was at stake and a single misstep could waste every effort we put into getting the company from Ivan.I glanced around to see everyone quivering. It seemed I was the only one who still had my sanity intact. I felt a hand on my shoulders and turned to see Javier standing behind me with confusion etched on his face."What do we do?" He asked, his voice barely audible. "I doubt he can be convinced with words.""Of course not. He's out of his mind" I hollered bluntly. "Just give me some time to find us a way out of this mess.""Alright," Javier sighed and stepped back.My head snapped back to Ivan, who was breathing heavily w

DeceivedIsabella's POV"Let's see how long it's going to take you to endure before your fall" I mumbled incoherently, my eyes fixed on Luisa who kept posing from different angles with a proud smile on her face.I was even proud of her. I mean, for someone who didn't have people on her side, she became great with just her talent and hard work alone. Too bad, it was all going to end soon. While smiling perfunctorily, I studied the surroundings and noticed the cameras above and behind. Thankfully, none was on me.Without informing Gabriel, I maneuvered my way out of the room and waltzed back to the dressing room. I had a hunch that the maids would always clean up when the room owners were done and my guess was right. Two ladies were walking out of Luisa's room, holding cleaning equipment.Ready to put my plan in motion, I dug out the eye pencil I had hidden in my dress. I smeared my face with it and tightened my eyeballs repeatedly to force tears out of it. Apart from being a model, I w

FramedLuisa's POV"What's going on here?" Gabriel asked with an angry look. "What in the world happened to courtesy?""We're sorry, Mr. Gabriel, but you have to see this," One of the ladies said, and the other turned a bag to the ground and emptied the contents."What the hell...?" Gabriel trailed off. It was all drugs and pills."These are hips and buttocks enlargement drugs that we found in Miss. Fernanda's dressing room" The first lady announced."Huh..." I pouted in confusion, my mouth agape, and my body froze on a spot. No way. I probably misheard her.I subconsciously glanced at Gabriel whose face looked distorted. My gaze shifted to see other workers watching with keen eyes. I could feel a cover of darkness looming over me.Gabriel took a deep breath and uttered. "Care to explain?"Melissa, the second lady, avoided my gaze while speaking. "We decided to clean up Miss. Fernanda's dressing room as usual. Violet was wiping the make-up table when she found this bag behind the jewe
