All Chapters of ALMOST REJECTED; FATE'S CHOICE : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Rhys. " Well, I did my investigations and you won't believe what I found out." He revealed, wearing a mysterious smile, and as different possibilities ran through my mind, my heartbeat went haywire. "Here, take a look " He added, handing over a thick file to me. I stretched my hand, ready to receive it, but I hesitated. What if? What if I found something that disappointed me even further? What if Kade's files were a solid confirmation of what I already knew? I knew it was cowardly of me, but I was unwilling to intentionally break my heart, again. Sabrina had already shown me the kind of person she was. It was only right if I believed her and stopped proving the truth wrong. " Rhys? Take it!" Maybe Kade noticed my hesitation because he directly placed the files on my lap before shooting me a pitying look. " You are unwilling to check it out, aren't you?" He asked, wearing a knowing smile, and I felt exposed, and I couldn't hate how Kade seemed to know everything, es

Rhys. "And the clip images that Amery sent of Sabrina kissing another man?" I asked, my voice almost trembling, and my heartbeat paused with anticipation. Honestly, I wasn't even sure I was ready for the answer, but I asked anyway. " That...That. " Kade hesitated, clearly looking uncomfortable, and that only added to my anxiety. " Just say it, Kade...I can handle anything. " I encouraged, although I didn't sound as confident. " It's actually not what you think about " He expressed, and even then, those words weren't enough to make me relax. Not what I thought about? At that point, did it actually matter what I thought? Either way, I had already hurt Sabrina, and the damage was almost irreversible. " Well, in the past, you only showed me images of Sabrina bullying Amery. I never got to see the images of her with... You know?" He explained, seemingly distracted, and my face darkened. Damn it! Of course, I hadn't shown him those pictures. Even though I had been dis

Rhys. " Since you seem to know so much about it, why don't you tell me about it, dear Amery?" I asked, taking slow steps towards her, and she backed away, taking unsteady steps backwards, seemingly scared, until her back hit the door. And the fact that she was hiding something from me? It couldn't have been more obvious. " I...I don't know what you are talking about, Rhys!" She defended, wearing that annoyingly pitiful face, again, and for a second, I was tempted to give her a real reason to act aggrieved. "I... What I told you is everything I know. If you don't believe me, go ahead and investigate. " After regaining her composure, she finally suggested, and this time, she looked very confident, and that only added to my suspicions. She looked like she was so sure we wouldn't find any results even after mobilising the entire pack's resources to investigate, but instead of being discouraged, that only added to my curiosity. Obviously, there was more to the pictures that A

Sabrina. " So, Luna Sabrina?" He asked, his gaze hopeful, but that was not all. There was something about the way he called my name, just like he used to, back then, and my throat tightened. I knew I should have said no. I knew I should have put an end to the fantasy, but I found myself nodding. I was also unwilling. I had become too used to spending time with him that I felt like a part of me was being carved out just from imagining what my days would be like, without him in the picture. " Yes, Alpha Rhys. " I had whispered, and once again, I had allowed myself to dream, to live in the fantasy, even though I already knew how it would end... It was borrowed time, borrowed moment, and borrowed warmth, of course it would never be mine, but then so what? I was allowing myself to live it, even if for another week. So, even after Rhys resumed work, he still kept his word. He would close early, then he would come knocking on my office, and just like him, I would have fin

Sabrina. " When the engine roared to life, my gaze automatically locked into the car window and I watched dazedly as the familiar pack grounds spun away, fading into the distance as we created a space between us and the pack house. Occasionally, I would swerve my head to look at Rhys, who sat casually behind the wheel, making a simple task like driving look elegant and lucrative... Looking at him, he was even more attractive when driving, when concentrating. The drive was smooth and comfortable. In the background, a local radio station was playing a romantic love song in the distance. The spring I meant you, was the song's name, and for obvious reasons, it seemed like the singer was narrating my and Rhys' love story. We hadn't met in spring, but it was around spring when our hearts acknowledged the fire that was burning in us, and although in the song, the singer's love story had a happy ending, ours was uncertain. " The drive is going to be long, Luna Sabrina." I
