บททั้งหมดของ The Vow I Never Took: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

LENA'S POVNo one could answer me. Only the urge to go to him seems stronger. I took in a deep breath as I continued scolding myself. Why would I think of being with a stranger and betraying David?Yet, I couldn't stop myself. Barely audible, I let out a question.“You belong to me?”My heart wanted to know what the hell was happening. I tried to process the weird declaration from the stranger and even my weirder question. I swallowed hard as I tried to make sense of it.So, my sudden forgetfulness wasn't a result of stress? Has something really happened to me? Like something really serious?Even though the earlier murmurs from the other customers watching us from the corners had started to go down, I could not say the same thing about their stares, which were now boring holes into my skin.The embarrassment was killing me.Then, in a sudden forceful movement, David lunged forward and grabbed my wrist, yanking me toward himself as if to protect me from the stranger.As if to make a s

Lena's POVThe elevator dinged open, and I walked out, hurrying toward my apartment. Balancing the box in one arm, I fumbled with my keys and shoved one into the keyhole. Finally, I stepped inside. I pushed the door shut behind me, flung my bag aside, and kicked my shoes aside.I placed the box on the coffee table and stared at it like it was a ticking bomb. What if it was? What if this Nathan Hale of a man had sent me some kind of explosive to punish me for refusing to accept his marriage proposal? My mind replayed the way he had laughed on the phone earlier that day, that deep and amused sound. The man was truly insane!Cautiously, I backed into the kitchen and grabbed the mop from the corner. Returning to the living room, I extended the mop handle and poked the box from a safe distance. Nothing happened. I exhaled, then decided to take a more aggressive approach. I let out a short shriek and began smacking the box repeatedly with the mop.Thwack, thwack, thwack!When I finally st

Lena's POV"Have my baby, Lena," he whispered to me. "He'll throw you away himself once he realises you're pregnant. He won't marry a woman who is already pregnant with another man's child.""What?" I gasped. "David, no. That's... that's insane!" "Oh, come on, Lena!" His hand came around to cup my cheek. "You know you want it. A part of me inside you, growing and changing you. Tying us together, forever!"I turned my face away, trying to break free of his grasp. "Stop it, David. This isn't you."But he didn't stop. If anything, my pleas seemed to encourage him. His hand slid down to my throat, squeezing lightly. "It's exactly who I am, Lena. This is the man you fell in love with, the man you're betraying."I tried to push him away, but he was stronger than I was. His other hand moved down to my waist, his fingers digging into my behind."David, please," I pleaded with him. "Don't do this.""Shh," he whispered and brushed his lips against mine. "Just relax."I turned my head away ag

Lena Pov"Grace Montgomery! Do you want me dead?" I gasped. Grace blinked at me, then grinned. She dangled a set of keys in my face. "Found your spare keys under the flower pot outside. I thought I should let myself in, hope you don’t mind. You really need to pick a better hiding spot, by the way."I stared at Grace, still holding my chest from the near heart attack she’d just given me. “What are you even doing here?”Grace grinned, completely unbothered. “I came to see you, obviously.”I sighed, stepping inside and shutting the door. “And you decided to just break into my apartment? Are you serious right now? I almost zapped you!”Her eyes went wide, and then she burst into giggles, slapping a hand over her mouth. "You... oh my God, you were gonna zap me? That’s hilarious!""It’s not hilarious!" I glared at her. "I thought you were a damn intruder!"She was still laughing. "Well, I did break in. Technically."I groaned, shoving the zapper back into my bag. "You could’ve just called

Lena's POV I was hurt as hell. Nathan Hale had just walked out like nothing happened. Like we didn't just kiss passionately. I yanked the covers off and stood up, completely enraged, storming across the room with fury. I tore off every piece of clothing on my body as I passed restlessly. If Nathan Hale had installed security cameras in here, then congratulations to him. I wandered over to the mirror, catching my reflection. My hair was a mess and my skin was also flushed. Everything felt hot, confusing and unfinished. How did he just leave like that after giving me the best kiss of my life? He just got up, buttoned his stupid shirt and left. “Asshole,” I muttered. I picked up my clothes one by one, dragging them back on with an annoyed huff. I still had my life outside this mansion. I had a career, deadlines and clients. I have an empire I had to take care of. Besides my insurance company I built from scratch. Still, it hurts. As I zipped up my pants, my phone d
