REJECTED FOR HIS FIRST LOVE CHAPTER 54
KAEL’S POVThe morning was all gray and cold, and the city looked different from my office window than it had looked the day before, but I could not tell if it was the weather that had changed or just my mood.I had not slept well. Everytime I closed my eyes, I saw Ivy’s face. I remembered the way her gray eyes had became wide when I told her the condition. The way her hands had shaken when she walked to the door. The way she had looked back at me for just a moment before she disappeared into the night.I had meant every word I said to her. I was attracted to her. I wanted to see if there was something real between us. And I was willing to wait for her to figure out what she wanted.But waiting is hard. It was harder than I expected.My assistant knocked and walked into the office, carrying a tablet in his hand. “Alpha Kael, I have the results of the contract bidding.”I already knew what she was going to say. “Morgan Industries won?”“Yes, sir.” He nodded. “They were awarded the cont

IVY’S POVThe morning sun was shining so bright, and the walk to my office felt longer than usual, and every step I took reminded me of how little sleep I had gotten the night before.I had tossed and turned for hours, staring at the ceiling and replaying every word Kael had said to me. His voice played repeatedly in my head, deep and steady and certain, and no matter how hard I tried to push it away, it would not leave.I am attracted to you, Ivy.The contract is yours, whether you want me or not.I will wait.I shook my head as I walked through the doors of my office building, trying to focus on the day ahead instead of the confusion clouding my chest.Zara was already at her desk when I walked in, and Tara was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee in her hand. They both looked up at me, and I could see the questions in their eyes before either of them said a word.“Well?” Tata asked. “I was asleep when you returned last night and I know very well that you would not be able to s

KAEL’S POVThe house was empty now, and the silence was so loud that it felt like it was pressing against my ears from all sides.I stood in the middle of the living room, and I could still smell her perfume in the air, that soft floral scent that had been clinging to her when she stood close to me. I could still see her face, the way her gray eyes had widened when I told her the condition, the way her hands had shaken when she walked to the door, the way she had looked back at me for just a moment before she disappeared into the night.I walked back on the windows and looked outside, but the drive way was empty and the gate was closed and the only thing I could see was my own reflection staring back at me.What had I done?I had never been that honest with anyone before. I had never told a woman that I was attracted to her without some kind of game or strategy or angle. I had aways kept my feelings close to my chest, always made sure that I was the one in control, aways made sure I c

IVY’S POVThe word hung heavily in the air between us, heavy and impossible to ignore, and I felt my chest squeezed as I tried to process what he had just said.“You.”That was all he said. One word. But it carried more weight than any of the long speeches he had given me before.I stared at Kael, with my heart pounding so hard that I was sure he could hear it from where he stood, and my hands were shaking so much that I had to clasp them together to make them stop. My throat was dry, and for a moment, I could not find my voice at all.“What did you say?” I finally managed to whisper.“I said you.” He repeated with his eyes still fixed on me. “The condition is you.”I shook my head slowly because I could not believe what I was hearing. “I do not understand.”“Yes, you do,” he said, and there was no doubt in his voice, no hesitation, no room for me to pretend otherwise.“No.” I said firmly and stood up from the couch because I could not sit still any longer. I needed to move and I need

KAEL’S POVThe room became still. Too still that one could hear a pin drop.Ivy stood near the door, with her hand still on the handle. She had not left yet, but she was close to it.Pedro and Liam stood near the couch with their arms folded. Pedro’s face was red with anger and his fist were clenched. Liam had his hand on Pedro’s shoulder, trying to hold him back, trying to calm him down.Miranda was standing by the window with her bag in her hand. She had stopped pretending to cry, but she still wore a frown on her face and her eyes were cold.I had had enough. I was tired of the noise and tired of the arguments. Tired of everyone talking at once.“Everyone needs to leave,” I said loudly. So loud that it echoed off the walls. “Now.”Pedro turned to me and clenched his fist. “Leave? You want me to leave? I am not leaving my sister here alone with you.”“She is a grown woman,” I said. “She can make her own choices.”“That does not mean I have to like them.” He snapped.“You do not have

IVY’S POVKael opened the door and I walked slowly into the living room.Miranda was sitting in the couch with her legs crossed. Her dress was short and tight, her hair was messy and her lips were red. Her smile was still firmly in place, but they were obviously fake.She did not stand up or move an inch. She just looked at me as if I am a fly.Kael stood near the window with his arms crossed tightly on his chest and his jaw clenched tight.I stopped in the middle of the room, purposely staying a distance away from Kael and Miranda.I stood alone.“I did not know you had company,” I said in a carefully controlled manner, not wanting to let my emotions and discomfort show.“I did not invite her,” Kael said.Miranda laughed lightly, which sounded so fake, and said, “I came to see an old friend. Is that a crime?”“You should leave,” Kael said.“I will leave when I am ready,” Miranda snapped at him. I looked around the room, at the couch, the window and space between all of us and said
