Chapter 50
Arielyn
“You are right, have you told Jayden about it?”
“Not yet, I mean I just found out yesterday and that man has been busy recently, I barely see him,”
She responded.
“You have to tell him as soon as you can, you don’t want to keep it for too long, he should be part of every step,”
I advised.
“Yes, Mom, I will make sure to tell him, I am not going to keep it from him,”
She mocked and I glared at her.
“You are crazy, but you are pretty,”
I said and we both laughed.
“Speaking of Jay, I haven’t seen him since I got back and we are supposed to meet already,”
I stated. I only saw him in passing since I got back to O-when we haven’t even had a conversation or even sat together.
“He said the same which is why I invited him and your man to our little date but your man said he couldn’t make it today as he had something important to take care of,”
Rose revealed. I wasn’t surprised she reached out to Ken and I also knew what he was going to do today, he told me this morning that he was meeting Dad today.
“So? If my man is not coming, is yours coming?”
I asked. Rose gave me a look.
“What?”
I asked and picked up the juice in front of me and took a sip.
“I just called Ken your man and you agreed,”
She replied and I smiled.
“That’s because he is mine, Rose,”
I said as a matter of fact, the fact that Ken had even told Raul and everyone else at the mansion this morning that we were together, he wasn’t hiding it so why should I?
“Wow, who are you and what did you do to the real Arielyn? Ae? Is that you? Did you take over?”
Rose asked and I rolled my eyes. Ae was currently quiet, maybe she was napping if not she would have had a comeback for Rose.
“It is me Win, Ae is innocent for once, Ken called me his in the present of his workers and his adopted son, Raul so it is only right that I call him mine,”
I told her.
“Fair enough, my man is not coming either, so it is just the two of us for today but I made them promise to go on a combined date one day and they both agreed,”
She revealed.
“I will be ready anytime you guys are ready,”
“Good, I am so tired and hungry, want us to go grab a second breakfast? There is a new place and it is private too, we won’t have anyone disturbing us,”
Rose said and I nodded, even though we already ate and it wasn’t even afternoon yet, I felt hungry.
“Sure let’s go,”
I told her and we both stood up and walked out of the garden, we got into the car and drove to the place Rose had suggested, we had a quiet breakfast, my second meal for the day, and took some pictures for memory’s sake.
“Arielyn? I seem to always know where to find you, you can’t deny our connection too right, me too,”
Jordan said and the feeling of comfort I felt earlier left me and all that was left was discomfort, I honestly didn’t want to deal with the bastard today. I stood up when he came closer to us. There is no way he found me here by accident, he must have been stalking me, the sick bastard.
“Are you stalking me Jordan? That’s creepy so you better stop it,”
I mentioned, glaring at him.
“I am not stalking you, our connection led me here, you know we have a connection, right? It can’t be denied,”
He went on talking about a non-existent connection that was only happening in his head.
“What do you want now Jordan? Why can’t you just not call me or approach me? Last I checked, we are not friends,”
I told him.
“Come on Arielyn, of course, we are not friends and I know that, what we have is more than friendship,”
he said and I glared at him. He was out of his mind to be saying shit like that in my face.
“You are not alright, Jordan, we don’t have anything, if we do, it is only in your delusional head,”
I fired at him. I already knew he knows that his brother and I were a thing and he was probably here to talk me out of it, the hell he will.
“Is that what my brother told you? Is that what he made you believe and more importantly, do you buy that story that he cooked for you?”
He questioned. His questions were irritating, what got on my nerve even more was how he was acting like we were close, acting like he knows me and that Ken was the bad guy trying to separate us.
“Listen, Jordan, you are not thinking straight, your brother did not make up any story to get me, I choose him and he choose me too, we are fated,”
I explained to him in a slow and firm voice.
“Listen to me Arielyn, I don’t know what my brother told you that made you think you guys are fated but I want you to know that whatever he told you is not true, you are still my mate until I pick a different one so the moon goddess can’t have made any mistake with it,”
Jordan said and I couldn’t for the life of mine imagine how the man thinks and who he thinks he is to make those assumptions. His assuming I was made solely for him and the only time I would be free is when he picks someone else was so Jordan coded, he acted like he was the most important person in the world and everyone was just there to serve him and please him.
“You are out of your mind Jordan, who do you think you are and what power do you think you have over me that I would be stuck to you for eight whole years? Your audacity amazes me Jordan but guess what? You are talking nonsense, nothing you say would ever make me choose you over your brother, never,”
I make sure he got everything I was saying, his delusion was out of the world and I was here to put him in his place.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“That can’t be true, I can’t accept that Arielyn, you belong to me, you were made for me, I know you are doing this because of what happened back then but I promise you that I will make up for it, you don’t need to pretend to like my brother, he is just trying to use you to get what he wants from your dad, he is doing everything in his power to make sure I don’t win and he knows if he gets you on his side, he can get your father’s support that’s why he lied to you,”
Jordan said as if it was some kind of grand news. as if he wasn’t trying to do the same thing to her, as if the reason he wanted her back now wasn’t because of that, he was so stupid for assuming she would not know.
“Jordan, I know you are slow but this is just peck comedy at this point, let me break it down to you. Ken isn’t playing me, far from it, we were already a thing before he found out who I was, we were already sharing intimate moments before your dad gave the ultimatum, and before your brother found out who my dad is, I was already living with him so stop, I mean you did see us together right and you told us we were made for each other, why are you trying to play dumb now?”
I fired at him. He was quiet after what I said and I expected him to walk away but he seemed to have humiliation kink because he didn’t leave like I expected, I turned to Win who was enjoying the whole drama, she must have seen my discomfort as the smile on her face washed off.
“Okay, that’s enough pleading, it is time for you to leave young man,”
Rose said. She stood up from where she had been sitting and came to stand between me and Jordan.
“This has nothing to do with you bitch, stay out of it,”
Jordan told her and I saw red, he was trying to get back to me but he couldn’t even be nice to my best friend. I made to say something but Rose beat me to it.
