Married To My Billionaire Bestfriend

Chapter 16 - Terminate

Chapter 16 - Terminate

Ace

Currently, we were in Liliana's room. By we, I meant me, Ava, Liliana, and that asshole.

No one else in my family knew the truth with exactly to whom Ava was getting married. Once they got to know that she was getting married, all of their expressions had been downed with cold water. They didn't even bother to find out more about the groom, except his name being Simon something. This was also the reason they didn't come to Ava's wedding. Ava had been disheartened back then, but she had understood all of the excuses everyone had given. However, thank goodness for my family being so disinterested in the entire affair. Otherwise, they would have figured out the truth behind Simon.

I crossed my arms against my chest and leaned on the wall in one corner of Liliana's room. Ava was sitting on the bed next to Liliana while that asshole was sitting on the couch.

"Okay, so before I start telling the full story, Ava, I am sorry," Liliana apologized to Ava, who gave her a curt nod in return. "Simon and I have been dating for about two years."

"Then, why was he about to marry Ava?" I couldn't help but ask, my tone coming out more aggressive than intended.

"Have some patience, dude," Simon said with a smirk.

I clenched my fists, and my eyes turned to Ava, who shook her head at me, indicating me to control myself from beating the fuck out of that guy. But God, I wish Ava just understood that anyone who hurt her was already my worst enemy. And now, that worst enemy was dating my sister—out of all the goddamn women in the world.

"It's actually embarrassing," Liliana murmured, lowering her head in shame. "Simon and I had a huge argument a few months ago, then we stopped talking for a while. When I decided to get back with him, he told me that his dad was forcing him to marry someone. I never asked him whom he was marrying and decided to end our relationship forever. I convinced myself to move on from him. Because that's what I thought would be the best choice for everyone involved."

"Then, what happened?" asked Ava.

Liliana sucked in a deep breath and continued, "On the wedding day, I... found out that..." She took a quick peek at my reaction before lowering her head once again. "I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't have the courage to tell anyone about it yet."

I gaped at her in disbelief. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. What the heck? Pregnant with who? Simon's child? How dare that motherfucker knock up my sister? But wait, the woman that came on the wedding day was not—

"Plus, it was too late to inform Simon. So to stop the wedding, I sent an actual pregnant friend of mine to inform the bride that she was pregnant. I swear, Ava, I didn't know you were the bride, otherwise, I would have informed you earlier instead of throwing that last moment bomb."

Again, what the heck?

I was about to walk towards Simon to fucking smash a vase or something on his head because that fucker didn't even deserve to be breathing the same air as Ava and Liliana, but Ava stepped beside me all of a sudden. She snaked an arm over mine and smiled, as if knowing that I was going to kill him.

"It's okay, Lily," Ava said. "Whatever happens, happens for the best."

Liliana finally raised her head and grinned. "I know, right? You and Ace got married that day after realizing the love you guys have for each other. But seriously, Ace, how could you not have proposed to her sooner than Simon?"

"You know him, Lily. He tends to overthink big decisions," Ava lied smoothly.

Ava just kept smiling as I looked at her in surprise. How could she stay so calm in these situations? And how could she always know when to stop me and what to say, just at the right time? Sometimes, I wonder what my life would've been without her.
