Rejecting My Mate For The Man Who Hates Me 13
The next afternoon, I arrive at Carrie’s hotel carrying no flowers.I decide that another bouquet might be too much. The last thing I want is for her to think I’m trying to buy my way out of trouble.Instead, I bring the handwritten letter I spent an hour composing the night before. It’s tucked safely inside my jacket.I walk up to the reception desk and give the attendant Carrie’s name.“Good afternoon, sir,” she says after checking the screen. “Would you mind waiting here for a moment?”“Is she busy?”“I’ll just be a moment, sir.”I glance towards the elevators.Something about her tone strikes me as odd, but I decide not to read too much into it. Hotel staff are trained to be polite and discreet. Perhaps Carrie has asked not to be disturbed.I wait. I smile. She’s playing hard to get. Oddly enough, I’m all for it. I love a good chase.A few minutes later, the attendant returns, pushing a trolley.I stare at it.The first thing I see is the jewellery box. Then the ribbon from the f

Inside, she sits on the edge of the bed while I remain standing a few feet away. She looks exhausted. Her hair has come loose around her face, and the scent of lavender clings to her skin.I notice her nails, too. They’re newly done, painted in a delicate shade that suits her. She must have spent the day shopping or at the spa, judging by the faint floral fragrance and the neat manicure.It’s strange to see her like this after the woman who sat across from me negotiating a business arrangement with the confidence of someone who has never been denied anything.“Are you feeling better?” I ask.“Yes.” Her voice is quiet. “Thank you.”I nod.There are questions I could ask. Why did a bouquet frighten her so badly? What exactly has Kaiden done to make her react that way? Why did she look at those flowers as if they were something dangerous?But she has already told me she wants our arrangement to have boundaries. She doesn’t want me interfering in her private life, and I have no intention

-Soren-The piece of paper slips from my fingers as I reach the end of the corridor.I look down at it, then at Carrie’s hotel room door.I have been calling her all day without getting an answer. When I noticed this page had slipped out of the contract binder she left at my house, I decided to drop it off on my way home from the city. It is hardly worth the trouble of arranging another meeting over one sheet of paper.Besides, she said she would be apartment hunting. I want to know what offers she has before so I know what I’ll move around to accommodate our little arrangement.I am about to turn a corner when I hear a struggle from inside the room that is Carrie’s.The sound of a key turning frantically follows. Then the door flies open, and Carrie comes stumbling into the corridor.She doesn’t see me.Her face is pale, her eyes wide with terror. She looks as though something is chasing her, and for one brief moment, I wonder if someone has broken into her room.Then she loses her b

As I leave the sitting room, my mind is already working through possibilities.Flowers would be a start. Carrie likes them, and I know which florist she prefers. I could send a bouquet to her place, wherever that is, perhaps with a handwritten note reminding her of our engagement.Then dinner.I could arrange a private table at the restaurant where we celebrated our anniversary, ask her to meet me, and if she refuses, I will send something else.A gift. A letter. Something that shows her I am serious.I will remind her of us, one day at a time.She doesn’t have to forgive me immediately.She only has to remember that she loves me.And she does.I’m certain of it.Maybe it’s better this way, her obedient nature was getting… stale. I smile. “Carrie Llothair, you sure do know how to make a man beg.”By the time I reach my car, I’ve decided on the flowers.I pull out my phone and call the florist, requesting a bouquet of white roses and pale pink peonies. Carrie has always liked the comb

Kaiden’s POV“Where is Carrie?”Luna Acacia Llothair lowers her teacup onto its saucer with a soft click.“You tell me. You’re her fiancé. I entrusted my daughter to you.” Those pink eyes pierce me like a sword.For a moment, I can only stare at her.The words are calm, almost conversational, but I know better than to mistake my future mother-in-law’s composure for patience. Luna Acacia Llothair has a way of making a person feel as though they’ve disappointed her long before she explains what they’ve done wrong.And right now, I’m certain I’ve disappointed her.“Ms. Llothair, I promise you, it isn’t like that.” I drag a hand through my hair, dislodging a few strands of deep red from their carefully styled arrangement. “Carrie… something is going on with her. She’s been acting strange recently. Refusing to meet with me, ignoring my calls, and now this?”I hear my voice rise, but I can’t seem to stop it.“She broke our mate bond like it was nothing! Even though I begged her! I begged he

I lift my can and take another sip.“Money won’t be an issue.”Soren leans back, studying me with renewed interest.“And the connections?”I set down my drink.“Most of the elites are more concerned with making money than remaining loyal to a family. They may talk about tradition and bloodlines at their dinner parties, but the moment a profitable opportunity appears, their principles become remarkably flexible.”His mouth twitches.“That sounds cynical.”“It’s realistic.”“And you can get these people to invest in my company?”“If you can prove their investment won’t be a waste of time, yes.”I lean forward slightly.“Thanks to my mother, I have actual friends in high places. She has spent my entire life dragging me to meetings, charity galas, business dinners, and every other gathering where influential people pretend they enjoy each other’s company. I know who has money, who wants more, and who is desperate to get ahead of their rivals.”I pause.“More importantly, I know which of t
