Chapter 83
Kendrix
Arielyn wasn’t looking convinced by my explanation and I was slowly losing hope that she would ever look past what had happened and come back to me, everything I was saying sounded different to her, plan B? That has never crossed my mind. I couldn’t give up, I desperately wanted her to come back to me, the past week hadn’t been nice at all, I couldn’t focus on anything, nothing else mattered, not even when my father made the official announcement, I was just there standing beside him being announced as the heir but I wasn’t there, all I could think about was how to get Arielyn back, I couldn’t even remember what I had said on that day because I hadn’t been focus while speaking, I left the palace immediately I was no longer needed. I couldn’t escape for long because my father called me back, I had to meet a lot of important people and be introduced to them.
The whole reason I finally found out where she lives was because I went to see her dad, he didn’t let me in at first but I waited outside their mansion for hours until he finally did and when I got in, I got a good scolding, her brothers were present too, her dad told me that he only allowed me in because her brothers begged him to, they wanted to get to know their sister and all and had questions for me, I answered as much as I could and then they asked me what happened, I didn’t go in full details as I didn’t want to be beaten by angry brothers, but I did tell them I made a mistake and I was trying to fix things. They were in almost the same situation with me since they were also trying to fix things with her, her dad had overheard us talking and called me to talk to me. He told me the only reason he was giving me her address was because he knew she wasn’t okay; I thanked him and promised him that I would fix things with her and never make her sad again.
Even though I got her address yesterday, I couldn’t come to her house because I got called for an emergency meeting with my father and some VIPs of O-when, when the meeting ended, it was already too late. I got here earlier and called Raul, he came out to see me, the traitor who ran away and never looked back. he told me he couldn’t let me in because Arielyn wouldn’t like it, I told him I was fine with waiting outside and he walked back into the house without even looking back.
“Arielyn, you were never a plan B for me, whatever Veronica and I had ended eight years ago when she left, I didn’t even know she was alive until I went over to Dilgem, I was a fool, and made a mistake,”
I said, still regretting how I let myself be fooled by that witch.
“What mistake? Kissing her in public? Fucking her or hugging her in public?”
Hell, she assumed I slept with her, I shook my head strongly.
“No, I didn’t sleep with her, the kiss, yes, it happened, it was a mistake, I ended really quickly after I realized what I had done, I thought of you back home, Ari, believe me, that kiss didn’t go more than that, I am sorry I kissed her,”
I wasn’t making any sense at this point.
“Do you even hear yourself? You kissed her so passionately in public and you want me to believe nothing happened after that? What? I would have believed you if the said lady didn’t come to this country for you, if I didn’t see you hugging her, if you didn’t bring her to our house, Ken, stop lying to me, just stop it, I hate it so much,”
She let out, and covered her face with both hands to control her emotions, I hated myself for making her sad, I wished she would believe me. The fact that she still called it our house didn’t go past me, it gave me a little hope and will.
“I am sorry I brought her to our house, Ari, that was a huge mistake I wish I never made, I should never have taken her call, should never have gone to her, I don’t want her, you are the one I want, you, only you,”
“I am not impressed neither am I convinced, you are just saying a hell lot of things without actually saying anything, I can’t, I think you should just go, we both should just stay away from each other,”
She clearly had no interest in what I was saying and I was just, I don’t know, it felt like I wasn’t prepared for everything which was why I couldn’t properly explain myself even though I had a whole week to prepare myself for this, I had so much fear in me that I might not be able to get through to her.
“She cast a spell on me,”
I let out as I didn’t know what else to say. Arielyn stared at me confused.
“What? Did she charm you into kissing her? sleeping with her?”
“I didn’t sleep with her, no, she didn’t charm me into kissing her, that was all my mistake but eight years ago, she did, that’s why I didn’t know or feel anything when we met or when we made love and you found out we were mate, I didn’t feel anything because Veronica killed my ability to recognize my real mate,”
I told her, even as I said the words, they sounded weird and unbelievable so it was not surprising when she looked at me in disbelief.
“You really want me to believe everything you just said? Kendrix? Why are you so hell-bent on getting me back? what’s the big deal? I mean, you and I both know why we got together, from everything I have seen the past week, you got what you wanted, congratulations by the way. you got what you wanted, why not just let me be, instead of making up so many different stories just to win me back, I promise I am not that special,”
She said.
