Rejected by my ex, claimed by the CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

Harriet's POV Damon's eyes glistened with disobedience; he held no fear. 'You think I could want to hear what you have to say? I don't. Harriet can make her own decisions about who she wants," Damon turned to me and fell to his knees, reaching for my hands, and he gazed up at me. “Harriet, the day you left was the worst nightmare for me, I should never have bet you go so easily. You are meant for me. I can’t bare to see you with anyone else, please come home and give me another chance, will you?” Damon’s words threw me. Months ago, I would have melted at such a thing to happen to me from him, but now? I felt nothing. He didn't deserve me or another chance. To him, I was just his mistress. To Gino, I was everything; he treated me like I was worthy and showed me how much he cared. There was absolutely no doubt about it. "No, Damon. I don't want to be with you; we were never meant to be. I feel nothing. Gino is my true love; he makes me feel good about myself, and I do

Harriet’s POV The room was small, cluttered, and smelled like it hadn't been aired out in years. Dust clung to every surface, and the faint glow of the city’s distant lights seeped through the cracked curtains, casting long shadows across the battered furniture. I sank onto the edge of the bed, feeling the uneven springs creak beneath me. My mind was racing, trying to piece together everything that had happened—everything I’d felt. The glow. The power. The anger, the fear, the confusion. I pressed my palms into my eyes, trying to block out the chaos swirling inside me. It was like a storm that refused to calm, each thunderclap echoing with questions I couldn’t answer. Gino sat quietly beside me, his presence a fragile anchor in this storm. His hand rested softly on my knee, warm and steady. I appreciated the gesture, but I knew that no matter how much he tried to reassure me, I was still lost in a sea of doubt. I looked out the window again, watching the city lights flicker

Harriet's POVI sat outside on the front porch, needing some fresh air. My head ached from everything and the mental processing of it all. I hugged my knees to my chest and took a deep breath, trying to calm the racing of my heart. I no longer wanted to be in this place. Every rustle of leaves, the hoot of an owl, and the sound of the wind in the trees all reminded me of what I wanted to escape from. "I cannot bear to be here. I need to be back in the city." I mumbled to myself, closing my eyes and imagining that I was far away from here. I told myself that I should never have come back here, to talk to Damon. I thought it was the right thing to do at the time, but now I regret it immensely. Gino appeared at my side, kneeling to sit with me. He looked out into the distance and smiled, wrapping an arm around my shoulders loosely. "I forgot how peaceful it can be out here, you know, all the beeping cars, traffic and people, it's a different world here, isn't it?" He sighed, and I wond

Damon’s POV STUPID BITCH! Aurora. Why did she need to keep poking her nose in? Harriet had come to see me, to talk. I was certain that I could have talked her round if Aurora and Gino had not in the way of us. It angered me, no it infuriated me how everyone just got in the way. Did I not deserve a chance to try with Harriet? She seemed to think Gino was the love of her life but I did not think so. Even now, seeing Harriet in that new light, the way her eyes turned that colour and she lashed out. I'd never seen her like that before in my life. It made me wonder about her past. Where she really came from? Had she just been dumped at Milton Manor like a nobody? I shook my head and went back inside, the rain was starting to fall and it was already getting heavy by the second. Aurora stood back, watching me carefully. Her eyes told me she hated me for rejecting her like I did after I had made her my Luna. I felt bad about that but I couldn't help that my heart wanted

Gino’s POV It all makes sense to me now. Klaus would kill Harriet if he found out about her, and I knew it would be a matter of time before that got back to him especially if Aurora opened her big gob about how she had seen Harriet’s eyes change and he would put two and two together. He would scower the whole world until he found her. That bastard had already stolen my father from me and my rightful place on the throne as Alpha of Silverdock pack I would not let him hurt Harriet. He had to go. I had to get rid of him once and for all. Even though that meant going back. Going back to the face the ones I had cowardly ran away from and not given my side of the story. Running had made me look weak, a coward with a guilthy conscious. Of course Klais would have been glad I had gone without a fight for my rightful place. I had to go back! The weight of my decision pressed down on me like a thousand pounds. Returning meant facing everything I had tried to escape—the shame, the pain
