Alle Kapitel von My Second Chance With The Alpha : Kapitel 121 – Kapitel 130

“I can’t believe you’re making me do this.” Marcus grumbled as we went down the stairs.  “Good, now also remind yourself why.” I said, glaring over my shoulder. I couldn’t understand why he was so upset with me. Did he really think I was doing this all for Lucien? The man tried to abduct me, for heaven’s sake! Why would I ever favor him? Moreover, even if I was favoring him, I would own up to it. I would never use Bella as an excuse to do it, he should know at least that.  I heard him sigh in defeat as I walked to Bella’s room. Ignoring his sulking figure behind me, I raised my hand up to knock on the door. We were patiently waiting outside the room but Bella never arrived. Frowning, I knocked again but was again greeted by silence.  

Lucien was about to get into a car when I called his name. Picking up the pace in my steps, I hurried toward him. He shoved his bag into the back seat before he turned around to look at my approaching figure, a determined look etched on his face.  “What?”  “You can’t possibly think she means what she said.” I said, “You of all people should know that she is clearly lying.”  “Honestly, I don’t care.” he said, “Because no matter what the truth is, Marcus is never going to let me be with her. I was willing to fight for her until my last breath, but if she refuses to admit her love for me infront of her own family, then perhaps I deserve better.”  

I halted in my footsteps as I noticed Amanda sitting with Marcus in the living room. I hadn’t met him even last night when I arrived from the forest as he had already gone to sleep. I felt a pang in my chest when I realized that he didn’t wait until I returned as he usually did. When I awoke this morning, he had already left the room. I assumed he had work to take care of as Ethan mentioned last night, so when I found him with his mother in the living room, I was slightly taken aback. “I know this is not how you wanted to celebrate your engagement, Mark.” Amanda sighed, “But given the circumstances, it would be a shame to let go of this opportunity to use in our favor.” “I understand,” He said, “But I’m not the only person that needs to be on board with this.” “I can talk to Kiara. I doubt she’ll have a problem with it.” “I’m sure, but that’s not who I was talking about.” He said, “I’m more concerned about Bella. She’s not speaking to any of us, how can we expect her to make an

“What did she say to you?” I asked resentfully as I eyed the store behind her.  How could I forget to warn her to not go into that store? Of all the shops present there, she had to pick that one. That store was owned by Audrey’s mother, who was no better person than her. If anything, she was only more brutal. I couldn’t imagine what she must have said to Kiara to send her out crying like that. “Kiara, tell me.” I asked once again.“I’m alright,” She insisted, suddenly moving away from my chest. Wiping her tears from her cheek, she looked up at me, “I just want to go home.”“What about your dress?” I asked, “We-“

It took me a while to compose myself before I decided it was time to head out. Taking a deep breath in, I swallowed the lump in my throat. Kissing Marcus had opened the floodgates to my emotions, and I only had myself to blame. Although he kissed me back with equal fervor, I somehow felt like he didn’t want me. It was perhaps because he had asked for some space and I didn’t give him that. After the little attention he gave me the other day at the market, I was hopeful that his anger toward me was slowly melting away. And perhaps it was, but we weren’t there yet. I will deal with it all later tonight, when I finally plan on confronting him about what he truly wanted from me now. But for now, I had other things to worry about. Mustering up some courage, I walked out of my room and went down the stairs to face reality. As I walked int
