A VERGARA WEDDING(THE YOUNG BILLIONAIRES SERIES BOOK1) SAMPLE

Chapter Two- Updated

CHAPTER TWO

Ella knew she was in trouble the moment she stepped out of his five-star suite of a bedroom. She couldn't believe she'd just had a screaming match with a Vergara.

If he had asked her nicely, Ella would've done more than just pick out an outfit but no he had to go all Vergara on her as if she hadn't had enough of their arrogance for one night. He had no right to insult her and that look of contempt in his eyes when he looked her over was nothing short of infuriating.

Ella had no idea how shaky she was until her knuckles had begun to hurt from clutching the envelope too tight.

She inhaled and exhaled a shaky breath. She had been wearing her heart on her sleeve the entire time and was only grateful that her nerves didn't give her away.

''Ella!''

Ella's head snapped toward the voice and she saw her best friend Lani jogging towards her.

When Lani finally got to her, she linked her hand roughly with Ella's causing her to lose her balance.

''Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you?'' she said slightly miffed.

''I'm sorry Lani, some really awkward situation came up and I was delayed.'' Yeah really awkward Ella thought bluntly.

''Whatever. Since there's a party going on why don't we just hang around?'' Lani whipped her long black hair backwards.

Unlike hers, Ella's hair was a deep shade of brown which she had suspended behind her head with a black ribbon. Lani chatted away as they made for the stairs.

Both were slender and often disagree with each other sometimes but that didn't affect their friendship at all. They both have the same family background except Lani's mom was a mestiza, albeit Lani took only a tincture of her mother's dark skin.

They've been friends for the longest time that Ella couldn't remember exactly how they met.

They exited through the back door from which they'd come only to be surprised by the number of guests arriving to the welcome home party of Dylan Vergara and his friends.

If he was that cool and sophisticated, Ella was curious to know about his friends.

''Whoa!'' Lani cried bewildered.

''Yeah.''

Albeit Lani was referring to the heir to one of the largest fashion houses in the Philippines and second in Asia, the breath-taking Dominic Alvares, while Ella was reacting to the scene and expensive decorations.

Dominic kissed Doña Bianca on both cheeks, who then proceeded to greet the couple beside him, and Lani assumed them to be his parents; it was no wonder he was so good looking.

Lani clutched Ella's arm as Dominic's gaze met hers, ''what are you doing?'' Ella had expected an explanation but when she saw them both mesmerized by each other, or at least Lani seemed to be, she sighed and shook her head.

''Geez don't go crawling at his feet now.'' she grumbled.

Lani's lips had begun to curve into a smile but soon twisted into a frown as he tore his gaze away. He was soon joined by Dylan and Ella couldn't be more displeased. She realized only a short time later that they were both wearing the same outfit, a white Valentino tux trimmed with black satin and a matching bow tie. Ella's brows knitted as she saw yet another dressed in the same outfit joined them—that was Bryan Cervantes the mayor's son.
