Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 35: The Connection I couldn't Ignore
"Good morning, Yanna."The voice was warm and familiar. I slowly turned around, my heart still pounding inside my chest. For a second, I was almost afraid of who I was about to see.It was Gabriel. He stood a few feet away, holding two cups of coffee in his hands. He was wearing his usual suit, and the small smile on his face looked so normal that it almost made me question everything."You look like you've seen a ghost," he said with a small laugh. He held one of the cups out to me before raising an eyebrow. "Coffee? I figured you could use one."I stared at him without moving. The last message was still open on my phone, and the words kept repeating in my head. I quickly locked the screen before he could notice."Thanks," I said as I took the coffee from him. Our fingers brushed for a second, and I forced myself not to pull away. "I didn't expect to see you here."Gabriel shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal. He took a sip of his coffee before looking back at me. "I was already nearb

I didn't want to go to work.After everything I had discovered last night, the office was the last place I wanted to be. The people I used to greet every morning didn't feel the same anymore. Every smile made me wonder if it was real, and every friendly conversation made me question if someone was hiding something from me.A part of me wanted to stay home and lock the door behind me. It would have been easier to pretend none of this was happening. But deep down, I knew I couldn't keep hiding forever. If I wanted the truth, I had to face the people who might know more than they were letting on.I stood in front of the mirror for a long time without moving. My reflection looked unfamiliar, like I was looking at someone who had been carrying too much for too long. My eyes were swollen from lack of sleep, and the dark circles underneath them made it obvious that I hadn't rested at all.I reached up and gently touched my face. "You look like a mess," I whispered to myself, forcing out a we

The next morning, my body was tired, but my mind would not stop thinking about the accident area and what we might find there. I lay in bed for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling, before forcing myself to get up.I got dressed quietly, trying not to make any noise that would wake Gabriel up. He was still asleep, and I wanted to keep it that way. The less he knew about what I was doing, the safer he would be. I grabbed my bag and made sure my notebook and the envelope were inside. I was about to leave when my eyes landed on an old box in the corner of my closet. It was filled with wedding files and documents from the planning process. I don't know why I stopped to look at it. I opened the box and started flipping through the papers. Most of them were old contracts, vendor lists, and seating arrangements. Nothing that seemed important now. But as I reached the bottom, my fingers brushed against a thin folder I had almost forgotten about.It was labeled "Miscellaneous." Inside, I fo
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 32: The Decision to Investigate
After hanging up with Chloe, I stayed still for a moment with my phone in my hand. Without thinking, my thumb scrolled through my contacts until it stopped on Gabriel's name.I stared at it for a few seconds. I wanted to call him. I wanted to tell him everything that had happened since yesterday. But before I could press the call button, I slowly pulled my thumb away."No..." I quietly whispered to myself.This wasn't the right time. I still didn't know who I could trust, and until I had real proof, I couldn't risk dragging Gabriel into something I didn't fully understand. The last thing I wanted was for him to get hurt because of me.I let out a deep sigh because of that. I locked my phone and slipped it back into my bag.I made my decision right there. Chloe was the only person I could trust with this, and for now, that was enough. The fewer people who knew about the pictures, the safer it would be. Until we found real proof, I couldn't risk telling anyone else.I reached for a note
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 31: The Growing Unease
I was lying on my bed with the pictures still in my hand. I had been looking at the same ones for hours, hoping I would notice something I had missed before. But no matter how many times I looked at them, I still couldn't find the answers I was searching for.I slowly closed my eyes, hoping I could finally get some sleep, but it only lasted a few seconds. The pictures quickly came back to my mind, forcing me to open my eyes again. With a quiet sigh, I reached for them once more.I didn't even realize how much time had passed until I looked at the clock on my bedside table. It was already morning, and I hadn't slept at all. I stared at the picture in my hand for a long moment before my eyes stopped on the person wearing the black hoodie."Who are you?" I quietly whispered. "Why do you feel so familiar?" I searched my memory again, hoping this time I would remember something. But no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't figure out where I had seen that person before, and somehow, th
Left at the Altar, Claimed by a Billionaire Chapter 30: The Bookstore Meeting
I barely got any sleep that night. No matter how hard I tried to close my eyes and force myself to rest, my mind refused to calm down. Every time I started to drift off, the pictures would immediately appear in my head again. The black van, the masked men, Scarlett standing there like she had nothing to be afraid of, and that tall hooded person, hiding their face as if they didn't want anyone to know who they really were.I couldn't stop asking myself the same questions. Who was that person? Why were they helping me? And why did they want me to come to the meeting alone? "None of this makes sense," I whispered to myself as I stared at the dark ceiling.I closed my eyes and let out a quiet sigh, hoping I would finally figure everything out. But no matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't find a single answer. "Why can't I understand any of this?" I muttered under my breath and let out a deep sigh.Every answer I came up with only brought more questions. Instead of making th

“I do.” I heard Evan’s voice from inside the church, and a small smile formed on my lips. He sounded obviously nervous. It seemed that even on the day of our wedding, the only heir of the Hartwell Group, was still rehearsing what he wanted to say. “Ready, Miss?” the wedding coordinator whisper

Gabriel’s POVWhy was I still doing this stupid shit just for her?It was a question that had been running through my mind for years, yet no matter how many times I asked that to myself, I still couldn't understand why I felt this way about her.I should have let go of these feelings a long time ag

He was getting closer and closer to us because I could hear his footsteps growing louder with every second. I froze for a moment. This wasn't the time I had imagined facing him. I shouldn't have left the apartment for someone as worthless as him. "Ayanna? Is that you?" he called out. His voice was

Gabriel drove me back to my building after everything that happened at the store. We were both silent, neither of us wanting to start a conversation even though the atmosphere inside the vehicle was incredibly awkward. I just kept my eyes glued to the window, staring at the passing buildings even t
