Chapter 51
Arielyn
“Watch what you say Jordan, you are at a great disadvantage already and you don’t want to pick a fight with me too,”
Rose warned him but Jordan refused to listen. He mockingly stared at her.
“You think you got everything just because Jayden decided to settle for you? Get the fuck out of my face you, sick bitch,”
Jordan let out. I knew his choice of words would hurt Rose, I glared at Jordan wondering how he felt okay saying those words to her.
“Jordan, you are really a low-life, aren’t you? You have no morals or whatnot, you are just, God! I don’t even know how to describe you,”
I let out in anger.
“You don’t have to like me, just come back to me, I mean, you should be happy that someone like me is willing to fight for you,”
He responded and I lost my voice for a moment and just stared at him.
“Oh, you fucking lunatic.”
Rose yelled as she pushed him. I held her to prevent her from doing anything to him.
“Rose, don’t mind him, let him say whatever he wants, that won’t change the fact that the moon goddess chose to make me happy again by giving me the better brother as my second chance mate,”
I said to Rose as I pulled her away from Jordan. She was so ready to fight for me but I didn’t want her to fight Jordan, he wasn’t worth it.
“Right, he lost, I think I get why he is so pained, Jordan, you are a loser, accept it like a real alpha male, I bet you don’t know how to be an alpha male either, you are nothing but a loser,”
Rose smeared. One thing about my lady, she can be quiet and kind but she can also be brutal too and Jordan asked for it.
“You are going to regret choosing him Arielyn, just wait, I will prove to you that you made the wrong choice, also, he is never going to be king, you guys are delusional if you think I will let him take what is mine and just walk away,”
Jordan threatened. I wasn’t even fazed by his threats. he was all talks anyway.
“As long as I don’t end up with you Jordan, I can live with any other regret,”
I replied. The nerve of him to think picking Ken over him would be something I would regret; proves he doesn’t even know me.
“You will regret it and then it would be too late, that bastard cannot do any good by you, he would only lead you on and dump you once he doesn’t have a need for you anymore, he is using you for his games and you are willing being his whore and fucking him for free too, shame on you,”
He let out. I knew what he was trying to do so I didn’t let his words get to me.
“My man is using me as his personal whore? Well, guess what? That’s what I signed up for, best believe that I love being his whore and I also love when he fucks me.”
I replied. Okay, I lied a little but I was just telling the truth in advance. It won’t be long until Ken and I start fucking anyway and I already know I would love every moment, my choice of words seemed to finally get to him and he backed away without another word.
“Let’s go, Rose, I suddenly don’t want to be here anymore,”
I said and Rose didn’t wait to be told twice, we got into the car that brought us and it zoomed off.
“Did you see how he looked when you called Kendrix your man? He was about to die, I never imagined that I would see Jordan of all people looking like he wants to cry, you finally got your payback for how he treated you eight years ago, it is not enough though but at least he knows how it feels to be rejected now,”
Rose went on, she was loving everything and I couldn’t blame her.
“Jordan is stupid and the only reason he is out to get me is because my dad might have withdrawn his support for him and given it to Ken now that he knows we are together, did I forget to mention that my dad has a photo of me in his office?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
I asked and watched as Rose’s mouth opened in shock.
“Are you for real?”
“Yes, Win, I was shocked too, I asked him why he had it and he told me that he liked it and that it reminded him of my mom,”
I told her.
“You guys can talk about your mom now? What is going on with your old man? Is he dying?”
Rose asked almost the same questions that I asked my dad a couple of days ago, it was still a shock to me so I understand how Rose must be feeling, she knew everything about my relationship with my dad and how my mom was a no mention when he was around.
“I was as shocked as you are right now, I even asked him too if he was sick but he said he was okay, I guess he is trying to mend things with me but what he doesn’t know is that it is too late for us, I went twenty-six whole years of my life without fatherly love and he is not about to make up for that by being suddenly nice to me and I made sure to let him know,”
I told Rose.
“I understand you, but don’t you think you should try to put up with him, even if it is not for you, you have to do it for Kendrix, you know your relationship with your dad would affect how well they interact right and how much help your dad would be willing to offer,”
Rose suggested. I understood what she meant.
“You want me to use him?”
“I didn’t exactly say that, I am just saying play along with him, and who knows, you might like it in the end and you will also be making things easier for Kendrix, that’s what you want right?”
She asked and I nodded, funny how I met Ken a few weeks ago and I already wanted to do everything for him, was it too soon to admit to myself that I might be in love with the man? It was hard not to love him when he was so kind and considerate, the best man to ever come my way.
“Why do you have that look, Ari? What’s going on in your head?”
Rose asked and covered my face with my hands.
“I think I am in love with him, Win,”
I let out and expected her to scream in excitement like she always does but she was silent so I removed my hands from my face and looked her way, she was watching me with a proud smile on her face.
“You finally figured it out? I think you fell for him the first time you guys met,”
she let on and I couldn’t deny it, maybe it was true, maybe I liked him from the day I met him the first day I arrived, that would explain why I let him kiss me and why I felt comfortable in his presence.
“So? Are you going to tell him how you feel?”
She asked and I shook my head.
“I will but not yet, I want him to fulfill his biggest wish first, he has had that dream since he found out he was the son of the alpha king and I want him to get what he deserves and then I will tell him,”
I told her. Maybe I might not even tell him, I would keep it to myself and just stay by his side. It didn’t feel right though because I wasn’t so good
“Are you not scared that he might reject you and your love?”
She asked. I was scared, I knew just what rejection can do to me but I don’t have to worry about that happening just yet, just until Ken is able to win and get the throne, I am going to love him and root for him and if the time comes and he doesn’t accept my love for him, I won’t fight him or hate him because he doesn’t deserve to be hated. When the time comes, I would accept whatever it is that he says and just live the rest of my life with the memory of my love for him.
“I am scared Win, but I won’t let that stop me from loving him, he is so loveable, you just have to be in his present to fall for him,”
I told her.
“Wow, I can’t believe it, Arielyn Barrie Embry found a man and she is talking about him while looking like a lovesick teen, oh, Ken, what have you done to my best friend,”
Rose said and I glared at her, not her acting like she didn’t have a hand in making me fall for him, it was all her fault, both she and Ae made me realize how I felt about him.
“Don’t lie on me, I am innocent,”
Ae let out and I rolled my eyes.
“I am proud of you Ari and I am sure Ken would fall for you too, that’s if he is not already in love with you,”
Rose stated. I knew the chances of that being true were zero but I didn’t argue with her.
“I don’t care if he falls for me or not Rose, I am just going to enjoy this new feeling and make the most of it while rooting for the man I love,”
I responded and Rose came close to me and hugged me.
“I love you Ari and I am so proud of you,”
“I love you too Rose and I am happy that I can be with you like this for a long time,”
I replied and we stayed in the embrace while the car drove us back to her house.
