บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Reluctant Bride: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

-=Martina's Point of View=-The rain was pouring hard, making it hard for me to walk and navigate to where we usually meet, and it took me ten minutes to get to my usual two to three-minute walk to that spot.I know what I was doing was wrong, but I don’t care anymore. I don’t think I could bear not to see Kian anymore.My mind is telling me to turn around and just forget about him completely, but my heart is screaming, wanting to be with Kian.This might be crazy, but even though I just met him not too long ago, I couldn’t deny the feelings that I have for him.I met different men, and some of them are decent, but nobody could make my heart flutter just as Kian could easily make my heart beat fast, and I would be damned if I’m just going to let that man go.I know that what I was going to do was consider it a sin already, but this is the sin I was willing to commit so I could be happy with the man I truly love.Yes, I admit it, just for a short time, I fell in love with Kian. I’m no

-=Martina's Point of View=-"Are you sure you're alright? Your face is really red," I heard Kian ask for maybe the fourth time now.We were having a late dinner after we were done showering and changing into dry clothes, and ever since that obscene thought crossed my mind, I couldn't stop my face from getting red whenever I remembered the mistake I had earlier."Of course!" I forcefully said.I had honestly thought he was about to move in for a kiss earlier, only to realize that his true aim was to relish the dinner he had cooked for us. That disappointing moment appeared to be imprinted in my memory, refusing to fade.Kian didn't intentionally give me the wrong impression, as I realize now. It was just my irrational imagination running wild. In my moment of vulnerability, I entertained the idea that I may be irresistibly appealing, only to be rudely woken by the sobering reality that I was simply indulged in conceit."Am I not sexy enough?" I thought to myself."Are you sure? You're.

-=Martina's Point of View=-“Did you hear anything from Zion?” I asked Zeke as I was having my breakfast.It has been four months since he left for some medical reason, and until now, I still haven’t had the chance to talk to him. When I asked Zeke, he just kept on telling me not to worry about Zion, but four months had already passed, and he also said that he didn’t have any updates yet about Zion, but he doesn’t appear to be worried, which really confuses me.“I’m sorry, mistress, but Master Zion still didn’t contact me,” he said apologetically.“Why do I feel like you were not worried at all? The last time you heard from him was when I was able to talk to my dad and confirm that Zion was indeed helping my dad recover, but after that, there was no news about him.My words probably insulted Zeke because the expression on his face became stern, but being professional, he still speaks in a courteous manner.“Please rest assured that I care about Master Zion, and the reason why I didn’

-=Martina's Point of View=-Honestly, I didn't know that I would be having a blast while staying in Annie's town. I was worried about how I could act like nothing was bothering me, considering that I really wanted to be with Kian at first. Still, after having another dinner with Annie's family and spending time talking about anything under the sun, I found myself really enjoying my time here.Listening to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas talk about their daughter made me know more about Annie, and I could tell that I was so lucky to have a friend like Annie."I'm lucky to have Annie with me in the castle," I said.I didn't elaborate on how I was lucky to have her with me, since it was something personal, and I didn't want them to know of my circumstance of being married to Zion.It was around ten when we all finally decided to go to sleep, but before going to bed, I decided to take a quick shower before sleeping."Aren't you going to take a shower?" I asked when Annie didn't show any indication of

-=Martina's Point of View=-I managed to stay away from Jackson and his arrogance thanks to the help of my friends, but I was pretty sure they were happy to oblige since they managed to steer Jackson away from me. Like I said, Jackson is really good-looking, and some of the girls are honest and say that they like him, which is understandable. But as a good friend, I thought of giving them advice, but they didn't see to mind what I said."Well, it's their decision anyway," I thought to myself.I know all of us are the same age or almost the same age, and I didn't really experience having a boyfriend before getting married, but still, these girls seem to be sweet and naive, and they don't have any idea what kind of guy Jackson was. I saw the like of him way back in school, but again, it's still their decision, and I just hope they make the right decision.It was around three when we all decided to pack up and leave, and I didn't even glance at Jackson when we got into the car, although
