All Chapters of Once Rejected, Now Desired : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Darla's POV: He finally pulled away and walked away from me. A few seconds later, the lights turned on and Logan turned to look at me with folded arms. I peeled away from the wall and looked around to see we were in a small room. It was cosy and all. Not close to the luxury I was used to, but comfortable enough for someone to want to live in. "Someone was coming towards us and I'm sure you don't want to be seen with me." I glared at him. "Apparently, it's you who doesn't want to be seen with me, Logan. Quit acting like a fucking saint." He let out a sigh and raked his fingers through his hair. "Darla, stop it. I have spent the past few weeks fighting the urge to actually show you how I truly feel." "Why?" I laughed. "Why has it been so hard for you, huh? I am literally doing everything I can because I fucking want you, but I feel like I am being played with. So why is it hard on your own end?" "Because I feel the same way!" He snapped, hissing through gritted teeth. "

David's POV: For the past few days, all my mother had done was randomly remind me it was time to get married. Darwin seemed to be the catalyst for her sudden need for her children to get married. Daniel, of course, was exempted. He really didn't have any royal obligations to fulfil. I was barely able to sleep well or eat well. Seeing Darwin going on his knees and proposing to Lillie had further shocked me, placing a stamp on the fact that they were actually serious about whatever they had together. Talk about catching me by surprise. I had no idea how to react to the sight before me so I walked away, Daniel following behind me and teasing me all he could. There were tears in my eyes and I shed them when I was alone. I had to expel the feelings plaguing my alone moments and the dreams finding me in my sleep. How could I get over her? How could I ever get over Lillie? It was almost fucking impossible to do that. Was it my fault? Was it because of how bad

Darla's POV: Today, I was supposed to spend the rest of the day with my mother and Lillie. It was a way of bonding with Lillie who was the new addition to the family. But it got postponed. One of the maids walked into the room while I got dressed, informing me that my mother has somewhere important to be and had left at last minute. This made me happier than I should. I mean, I wanted to spend time with Lillie and my mother, but there was someone who I would do anything to spend even a minute of my time with. So I didn't take off my dress. I finished with my hair and hurried out of my room, towards the gardens. Since Lillie moved to Darwin's room, Logan and I began to secretly see each other at their room. It was cosy there and we could do whatever we wanted without being interrupted by any maid. When he saw me from where he worked at the garden, he knew why I had stepped out, and a slow smile creeped up his lips. I headed towards the servants quar

Darwin: "Darwin, I know you're nervous, but I trust you'll do well." Lillie was with me, holding my hands. She had a reassuring smile on her face. "Are you sure?" I asked her. "The people are going to be very critical of me. They're used to David at least. They don't even like him but he's able to convince them to support him." She nodded at me and pulled the lapel of my jacket before patting my chest. "That doesn't matter, darling. I know you can do it. You can win the hearts of people easily. Do you want me to remind you of the time we went to the city? Your genuine curiosity and concentration for the people going through misery told me a lot about the kind of person you were. I trust you'll do a good job, Darwin. I really do. You're a kind man and you have the best interests of everyone at heart." I blew out a breath. "You're really boosting my morale, Lillie. I'll go out there and take charge with my words. But there's a lingering feeling that someone will

Darla's POV; I woke up with a start. I was suddenly feeling nauseous and when I tried to climb out of the bed, I realized that Logan had his arms wrapped around my waist. I immediately pushed his arm off and flew out of the bed, rushing into the bathroom as I retched all the content of my belly into the toilet. It didn't stop when I expected it and even after I had retched it all up, I felt like I was going to retch up my intestines. I burst into tears because the pain was too much and I was getting weaker as time passed. I felt a presence behind me and someone slowly wrapped my hair around their hand and rubbed my back soothingly. "I'm here, you're alright," Logan's unmistakable voice came. I retched the last time and spat the saliva before leaning away from the toilet with tears in my eyes and fatigue engulfing my whole body. I felt slightly dizzy and unable to raise myself from the floor. Logan stood me up and flushed the toilet before taking
