Ch. 71..75: Loving My Rejected Luna Chapter 71-75
Chapter 71
As soon as she walked into the mansion, Kiara broke down. She didn’t even know why she was crying. She should be happy that he would finally get to feel what she felt two years ago, right? Except she wasn’t. Her heart ached not only for him but for herself and their dead son.
All the emotions she had buried deep down all immediately surfaced to the top making her unable to breath. Why was this happening to her again?
“That’s enough, Kiara. You shouldn’t be crying because he deserves everything that’s happening now” Kiara turned to her.
“But I love him, Heather. I love him so much and that’s why it hurts. Is something wrong with me? I’m not supposed to love him after everything but yet, I do” Heather sighed then grabbed Kiara’s face with a stern look on her face.
“I’m your voice of reasoning so listen to me. Yes, it does hurt and I understand your feelings but he doesn’t deserve your tears, Kiara neither does he deserve your forgiveness or a third chance because you gave him a second chance to rectify himself, yet he did the same thing. Who’s to say this won’t happen again even if both of you get back together? He’s toxic for you” Kiara stared at her for a while then let out a sigh.
Heather was making a lot of sense and her words were true but despite everything, Kiara wanted to try her best to understand Zane’s point of view. He had just manipulated.
“I’m not saying I want to forgive him, Heather. I can’t forgive and I think it’s better if we are not together and it breaks my heart because I love him. Why did this have to happen to us? We were so happy” She muttered as tears streamed down her face then she wrapped her arms around Heather and held her tight.
“Shhh, it’s going to be okay. All you have to do is forget about him and maybe date someone else that I think is better than Zane” Kiara furrowed her eyebrows then pulled away from the hug with a frown on her face.
“What?” Heather rolled her eyes.
“Oh come on, you know what I’m talking about. Levi likes you and he’ll treat you right. You have to move on from Zane and the only way to do that is to fall in love with someone else” Kiara’s frown deepened. She liked Levi a lot but as a friend and nothing more.
Before she could say anything, the door opened up and Levi walked into the house with worry on his face. He immediately walked up to Kiara and placed his hand on her shoulders.
“Are you okay? My guards told me about what happened and I immediately rushed back here” Heather turned to smile at Levi then wiggled her eyebrows at Kiara.
“I need to use the bathroom” She muttered then ran away before Kiara could stop her.
As soon as Heather was gone, Levi held Kiara’s hand and searched her face with concern etched on his.
“You cried” She smiled slightly.
“Well it’s kind of inevitable when the one thing that drove a wedge between you and someone you love finally got revoked” He sighed then caressed her face.
“Even though I don’t like talking about your relationship with Zane, feel free to tell me whatever is on your mind. Even if you want to confess your love to him, tell me. I’m a very good listener” She stared at him for a while then a bright smile appeared on her face as she wrapped her arms around him.
“Thank you. The world would be so much more peaceful if I just fell in love with you, Levi, because you’re genuinely a sweet guy” He hugged her tightly.
“Now that you have decided to end things with Zane for a while, how about I make you fall in love with me?” She tensed up immediately then pulled away to stare up at his face and when she saw the seriousness in his eyes, her eyes widened.
“Levi… I…”
“I know you might not like me that way and I know you might say you’re not ready to jump another relationship at the moment but I love you Kiara and I know for a fact that I can make you happy only if you’d give me the chance” She bit her lower lip as she stared at him.
“But you do know that if I date you now, I’m only doing that because I want to get over Zane, right?” Levi nodded with a smile.
“I know and I don’t care. Being able to go on a date with you is something I’ve dreamt of everyday since I met you. At first, I didn’t want to be a rebound but if that’s what it takes to be with you then I don’t mind it” She stared at him for a while then let out a sigh.
“I… can I think about it? I’ll give you an answer later” Levi nodded with a smile.
“Take your time, I don’t want to rush or pressure you. Since I know you’re alright now, I’d get back to work, hmm?” She smiled as she nodded then he pinched her cheek softly with a smile before walking out of the house. noveldrama
As soon as he closed the door behind him, he let out a breath he hadn’t even realized he had been holding. Gosh! That had to be one of the scariest things he had ever done in his life but he couldn’t help but feel happy inside.
He has already sworn to himself that he was never going to let her go so even if she rejected his offer, he was going to do whatever it took to get her to be his. Zane already lost his chance, now it’s his time to have her in his arms.
He can’t wait for the time he can finally call her his because that would be a dream come true.
“Boss, this letter just came in from you” One of the guard’s voices snapped Levi out of his thoughts. He glanced at the letter with furrowed eyebrows then took it from the guard and examined it. There was no address but Levi could have a thought or two about who might be from. Obviously someone that was stuck in the 60s.
He opened the letter slowly and he instantly shook with fear.
‘That girl seems very important to Zane, killing her just seemed like the right way to punish him, don’t you think?” Levi clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. When it comes to Kiara, he would rather die than let anything happen to her.
“Do not touch her or you’re going to finally see why I’m my Mother’s son
Chapter 72
Daniel sighed as he walked up to Zane who was seated at the bar counter with Liam.
“Zane, what the fuck are you doing?” Daniel questioned and Liam sighed.
“I’ve tried stopping him for the last two hours but to no avail. He’s not even listening to me” Suddenly Zane groaned.
“If only I had listened to her, I had… I had trusted her, I would have been the happiest man on earth right now but my poor stupid choices are what made me like this. I was such a fool” He muttered to himself then chugged down the glass of Whiskey.
“We all make poor stupid choices…. Yours may have been more stupid but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed. You just have to get your ass up and get your girl back” Daniel advised but Zane let out a sigh.
“What exactly can I do? Everytime I look at her, all I remember is when she cried and begged me to listen to her but I… I didn’t and then she lost… she lost our child because of me” Zane held onto his heart as it suddenly began to ache again. No one understood how much pain he was in at the moment. He was holding on to a thin thread of his sanity.
“Well I did try to tell you multiple times that you were making the wrong decision” Liam glared at Daniel. noveldrama
“Now is not the time for that. He couldn’t have known because the pictures were real but not in the sense he thought. If anything, Kiara was violated by her sister” Zane squeezed his eyes shut as he immediately thought of how Kiara had been drugged and placed in between two men who were practically molesting her in the video. How hadn’t he seen that she was asleep?
“Where is Samantha? I need to kill her, that’s the only way I can feel better at the moment” Daniel sighed.
“She has gone into hiding. I don’t know how she found out we know the whole story but she did” Zane turned to Daniel and grabbed him by the neck.
“I don’t care if you checked the whole earth for her, I just want her found. Even if you have to lure her out then do just that. She loves her family right? Then capture her family and if she doesn’t come out, kill them” Zane uttered menacingly then pushed Daniel away before turning back to his Alcohol.
“There’s a little flaw in your plan. Her parents are Kiara’s parents as well” Zane scoffed.
“They were hardly ever parents to Kiara and would always favor Samantha over her. I doubt she doesn’t even know how they’re doing so if they die, she still won’t know” Daniel sighed.
“Still… I don’t think it’s a good idea to kill her parents. I’ll find another way to lure out Samantha” Zane didn’t reply and just drank his Alcohol.
“Are you really going to drink all this alcohol? If you do that, you might die” Zane didn’t reply to Liam and just kept chugging down the glass.
“By the time you’re done with that glass, Levi would have stolen your girl from you” Zane’s hand froze mid air then he turned to Liam with red eyes.
“What?” Liam nodded.
“Heather told me that Levi asked Kiara out on a date and she’s yet to give him an answer but Heather is sure Kiara will agree” Zane’s eyes widened.
“You speak with Heather?” Daniel suddenly asked and Liam turned to him with a nod.
“Ever since she left, we have been chatting and calling each other” Liam uttered with a smile then turned back to Zane at the same time Daniel frowned.
“Levi is trying to make a move on her?” Zane questioned softly and Liam nodded.
“Well he has been trying to make a move on her for quite a while now but you were in the picture” Zane frowned.
“Am I not in the picture anymore?” Liam shrugged.
“Only you can place yourself in that picture if you fight for her” Zane sighed then turned back to his glass of whiskey.
“What if she’s better with him? He hasn’t hurt her as badly as I have. He can treat her well and….”
“But can he treat her better than you? Yes, you make bad mistakes but are you just going to sit here and wallow in your misery? She loves you and she always will. All you have to do now is show her that you’d change and you will never let her go” Zane turned to Daniel as soon as he said that then nodded.
“Okay, I’m going to get my woman back” They both grinned at him.
“Now that’s what I’m talking about. I’ve got to use the restroom. You both wait here” Liam uttered then immediately ran away. As soon as he was gone, Daniel sat down on his seat and grabbed his phone.
“What are you doing?” Zane questioned with furrowed eyebrows.
“Just shut up and drink your alcohol” Daniel muttered as he scrolled through Liam’s and Heather’s chat. The first thing he noticed was how freely she spoke with Liam. They spoke to each other like an old couple that was far away from each other but still loved each other dearly which made him frown.
He kept back the phone and stood up with a frown. Liam was all smiles when he walked back to them.
“Shall we go?” Zane nodded then stood up from the chair but immediately fell to the ground as his legs wobbled.
“Whoa! Am I disabled? I probably deserve that as well” Daniel and Liam rolled their eyes then helped a drunken Zane up from the ground.
“Is carrying him to go see her like this the best idea? He’s a sloppy mess” Liam whispered to Daniel.
“No, we are taking him home but let’s just make him think he’s going to meet her so we can leave” Daniel whispered back.
“I love her so much, Kiara I love you!” They both groaned as everyone turned to them. This was going to be a long night
Chapter 73
The next morning, Zane woke up with a splitting headache. He felt like he had just been run over by a car.
Just then, his room door open and Daniel walked in with a bowl in hand. noveldrama
“How do you feel?” Zane groaned.
“Like shit” Daniel chuckled.
“We tried to warn you not to drink so much. Here, I brought you a tonic for migraines” Zane grimaced.
“I’d rather be run over by a truck than drink that” Daniel rolled his eyes.
“Fine then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. You have to get out of bed, there’s a situation at hand” Zane turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
“What is it?”
“A neighboring country’s pack has been attacked” Zane groaned then let out a sigh before getting up slowly from the bed.
“Right now, my first priority is to get Kiara back. Every other thing has to wait” Daniel sighed.
“You’re not thinking straight at the moment, Zane so I’ll let you be for a while but when I come back, we are going to solve this situation” Zane rolled his eyes.
“You can’t boss me around” Daniel rolled his eyes.
“I can’t but I’m sure Kiara can, right?” Zane’s eyes suddenly widened then he frowned.
“Yes she can but she doesn’t want anything to do with me” Zane mumbled and Daniel sighed.
“Listen, I didn’t want to have to tell you this but they’re going to attack us here soon enough. Hell, they have already began attacking us. Didn’t I tell you about how they attacked Heather? If this isn’t taken care of, they might attack Kiara next” Zane’s eyes immediately turned cold.
“They won’t dare or I’d tear them into shreds” Daniel tilted his head.
“Oh they would. They have a motiv, Zane and unless we don’t find out what this is, everyone is in danger” Zane sighed as he dragged his palm along his face.
“You don’t understand, Daniel. The only way I can focus on every other thing is when I know she’s mine again. She’s the only one that makes me function and it hurts me to the core that she’s with another man at the moment and not with me. I have to get her back and the faster I get her back, the faster I get back to work” Daniel stared at him for a while then let out a sigh.
“Fine but do you have a plan to get her? You can’t just go up to her and ask her to take you back” Zane sighed.
“I already have a plan. If she just gives me a chance, I can do anything for her” Daniel sighed.
“Well Liam and I are here to support you in whatever you do. Just don’t make stupid decisions anymore” Zane rolled his eyes at him.
“Get out” Daniel chuckled as he walked out of the room. As soon as he was gone, Zane turned to his phone and grabbed it. After contemplating for a while, he dialed her number and pressed the phone against his ear, silently praying that sge would answer.
“Hello?” He sucked in his breath as he soared with happiness when he heard her voice.
“I didn’t… I didn’t expect you to pick up” She went silent thatheeven thought she had hung up at a point.
“I didn’t know it was you.” That sentence alone made his heart ache. Had she deleted his number?
“Oh… did you… did you delete my number?” He questioned and heard her sigh.
“I decided to delete contacts that weren’t needed” Ouch! That hit him right in the gut. He grimaced slightly then cleared his throat.
“Oh…” They were silent for a while till she sighed.
“What do you want, Zane? I’ve got things to do” He frowned. Even before, she was cold to him but not this cold.
“I just wanted to hear your voice because I missed you and I wanted to know if you’d like to meet up” She sighed.
“Why would you want to meet up with a cheating slut?” He squeezed his eyes then let out a sigh.
“Kiara please don’t do this to me”
“I’m not doing anything, am I? I’ve got to go, I have something to do”
“Will you at least agree to meet up with me? Maybe I can take you out on a date or…”
“That won’t be possible because … because I’m going on a date with Levi” His eyes shot right open as he held his breath.
“What?”
“I’ve got to go” With that, she hung up, not even giving him a chance to say another word.
He sat down on the bed with a defeated look on his face. She was going on a date with Levi? Does that mean she had really moved on?
He suddenly sprung up from the bed with a determined look on his face. She was his woman and he didn’t care if she was going on a date with Levi, he was going to go on that date as well and get his girl back.
Kiara slapped her forehead with a groan. What was wrong with her? Why had she said all that?
She sighed then turned around and immediately froze when she saw Levi standing behind her with wide eyes and a tray filled with food in the other.
“Oh Levi… I didn’t see you there” He dropped the tray on the table then walked towards her.
“Did you really mean it? Are you going on a date with me?” She pursed her lips. She had only said that to spite Zane.
“Ohh… erm…” He frowned then let out a sigh.
“You only said that to make Zane jealous right?” She stared at her toes in shame.
“I’m sorry” He shook his head.
“You don’t have to be sorry, I said I was going to keep trying till I win your heart, right? That also means I have to be patient. I brought you breakfast since you weren’t coming down and I brought you your favorites according to Heather. I’ll take my leave now” She glanced at the food then let out a sigh. Levi was being sweet and Heather was right, Zane was toxic for her so why not try to move on with someone like Levi?
“Wait Levi…. I’ll go on a date with you”
Chapter 74
Kiara couldn’t help but smile as Levi beamed before her.
“Are you serious? You would go on a date with me?” She nodded.
“I can’t guarantee you anything Levi but one thing I know for sure is that you’re a great guy and anyone would be happy to be called your woman” He frowned.
“But not you?” She sighed then walked over to him and grabbed his hand.
“I’m willing to give you a chance. Make me fall in love with you, Levi” He stared at her for a while then grinned before wrapping his arms around her.
“Even if you don’t end up falling for me, I’m happy you gave me a chance” She smiled at him as soon as she pulled away from the hug then she turned to the tray of food he brought.
“And thank you for the food. They really are my favorite” Heather was really trying to push them together.
“Try the pancakes, I made them myself” She smiled and was about to reach out for the pancake when a memory of her and Zane making and eating pancakes flashed through her mind.
She immediately brushed it off then began eating the pancake Levi had brought her. She grimaced slightly when she tasted it but feigned a smile for him.
“Hmmmm…. Thank you” He frowned.
“You don’t like it?” She squeezed her eyes shut as she swallowed it then she turned to him.
“Erm… maybe tone down on the salt. As a matter of fact, maybe don’t put in any salt like… at all” He furrowed his eyebrows as he walked over to her. When he took a bite, he immediately spat it out.
“Oh my… that’s horrible! I must have put in salt instead of Sugar. I’m so sorry” She shook her head at him.
“Don’t be sorry, it wasn’t your fault but maybe next time, check the labels” They both stared at each other for a while then they bursted out laughing.
Age couldn’t help but heave out a sigh of relief because she had felt every since Levi said he was going to make her fall in love with him, something changed with them and they became more awkward.
“I like this part of you, Levi. Not the part that’s trying to win my favor and not the part that’s trying to win my heart, the part that’s friendly and always manages to put a smile on her face” She found herself saying as she spoke to him.
He stared at her for a while, let out a breath then nodded with a smile.
“I’m sorry. You’re the first lady I’ve ever been interested in so I don’t know how to behave around you” She grabbed his hand.
“You don’t have to apologize, just be yourself. Now if you’d excuse me, I have some waffles to devour. I hope you didn’t cook those as well?” They both laughed.
Kiara rolled her eyes as Heather squealed on her bed.
“Will you stop that?” Heather shook her head with a smile.
“I’m just so happy you finally gave Levi a chance. He’s a great guy and I’m sure he’d treat you right” Kiara turned to her with a raised eyebrow. noveldrama
“Then why didn’t you date him?” Heather sighed.
“Because he doesn’t like me, he likes you. Plus, I like someone else” Kiara furrowed her eyebrows.
“You still like Daniel?” Heather frowned. She wasn’t sure she was ever going to stop liking Daniel since they had been mates once upon a time but she was trying to move on from him just like Kiara was trying to move on from Zane.
Before Heather could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Kiara glanced at herself one last time in the mirror before walking towards the door.
She smiled at Levi as soon as she saw him.
“You’re here” His eyes trailed down her body.
“And you… you’re beautiful” His eyes suddenly widened.
“Not like you have not always been beautiful, you have but like… I…” She grabbed his hand.
“Levi, relax, okay? And I understand what you’re trying to say and thank you, you look good yourself” She uttered with a smile and he grinned.
Thank you but I’m sure everyone’s eyes are going to be on you because of how beautiful you look. I’m finding it hard to take my eyes off you right now” Kiara’s cheeks turned red and Heather gave Levi a thumbs up from behind.
She didn’t know why but Kiara seemed to like cheesy lines so she told Levi to use all the cheesy lines he knew on her.
“Okay that’s enough. Shall we leave?” Levi nodded then grabbed her arm and placed it around his arm.
“I hope you’re comfortable with this?” She nodded at him.
“I am” He smiled then turned to Heather.
“We’ll go now. Don’t wait up for us” He told her then walked away with Kiara.
“Wait!” Heather called out and was about to run after them when her phone rang. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she picked up the phone and placed it against her ear.
“Hey” She murmured into the phone but the smile soon wiped off her face when she heard what Liam had to say next.
“He’s what??!!”
They were about to walk down to the car when Levi stopped her.
“Wait, I bought something for you” She furrowed her eyebrows then gasped when he showed her the beautiful bracelet.
“Oh my… that looks expensive, Levi” He waved it off.
“You’re worth it and when I saw it, I thought of you so I knew I had to get it. Can I help you put it on?” She stared at him for a while then nodded with a smile before stretching out her hand to him.
He placed it on her wrist and after he was done wearing it on her, he raised his head and their eyes connected. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to press his lips in hers. He wanted that so badly.
He leaned in slowly while watching her every move. Was she going to push him away or was she going to slap him across the face?
Just as he was about to place a kiss on her lips, a honk cane from behind them and they jumped apart.
Kiara’s eyes widened then Zane climbed out of the car in his signature black suit.
“Am I late?” Kiara glared at him.
“What are you doing here? Levi and I are going on a date” He nodded slowly.
“Yes, I heard you loud and clear over the phone. That’s why I’m here, I’m here for the date so are we going or not?” Kiara glanced at Levi and he seemed as confused as her.
“What are you talking about, Zane?” She questioned and he smiled.
“I’m coming with you guys on our date”
Chapter 75
Levi scoffed. noveldrama
“What the fuck is he talking about?” He questioned as he turned to Kiara but she just sighed then turned to Zane with a glare.
“Zane, I don’t know what you’re up to but you’re not coming with us. Levi and I are going on a date and that doesn’t include you” He tilted his head at her.
“Well you might want to stay at home then because no one is going to let you in their restaurant without my permission” Kiara’s eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me you…”
“I had you both banned from every restaurant and the only way to change that is if I come along” Kiara was speechless.
“You…”
“Oh come on, you of all people should know how petty I can get, Kiara. Are we going on this date or not?” Before Kiara could say anything else, Levi came forward and stood in front of her while glaring at Zane.
“I don’t know what your plan is but she’s with me now and I’m not going to let you come in between us. We mustn’t have our date in a restaurant, there are other places to have a date” Zane tilted his head then chuckled.
“Hmm you must think so lowly of me, Levi but there’s something you should know in case Kiara hasn’t informed you yet but I rule this country, everything and everyone is under my control and when I say you can’t have a date without me, I just didn’t mean restaurants but anywhere within the country” Levi glared at him as he clenched his fist.
“You!..” Kiara grabbed Levi’s hand then shook her head at him.
“Don’t argue with him because he has a comeback for everything” She muttered then turned to Zane and saw he had a smirk on his face.
“We don’t have to give in to what he wants, Kiara. I can fly us out of the country right away and we can have our date then” Levi uttered as he stared Down at her but she shook his head.
“If he wants to go on a date with us then he can but we are not going to run away and we are going to have our date like he isn’t even there, alright?” Levi stared into her eyes then let out a sigh before nodding then he turned to Zane who had a bored expression on his face.
“Are we leaving or not?” He questioned but before they could say anything, he climbed into his car and banged the door after him. How dare they hold each other in front of him? He was already losing his temper and they hadn’t even begun the date yet.
He sighed as he watched them say something to each other. It seemed like Kiara was trying to reassure a worried looking Levi making Zane scoff.
Levi should be worried because he was going to get his girl back no matter what.
He watched as they both walked over to Levi’s car then Levi opened up the door for Kiara and she smiled at him before getting into the car.
Zane wanted nothing more than to punch the smile off Levi’s face as he walked around and entered into the driver’s seat. That was supposed to be him and Kiara and not her with that idiot.
He sighed then took a deep breath before following behind them as they drove out of the building.
When they got to a restaurant Levi had apparently made a reservation at, Kiara sighed. It was one of Zane’s restaurants.
“Is something wrong?” Levi questioned when he heard her sigh.
“Us coming here just fed into his ego. Prepare to hear him gloat” She muttered then climbed out of the car, leaving Levi confused.
Levi climbed out of the car at the same time Zane packed his car next to theirs. He climbed out of the car with a grin on his face which made Kiara roll her eyes.
“Damn, liking my restaurant and my girl? You have fine taste man, I’ll give you that” Zane uttered as he rested against his car.
“I’m not your girl and I’m sure he just picked any restaurant and really didn’t think too much about it” Kiara retorted but Levi just kept quiet. He had heard this was the best restaurant in the country and that was why he had picked it.
He couldn’t help but groan inwardly. Why was Zane always one step ahead of him?
Kiara smiled when the smile slipped off Zane’s face but then she gasped when Zane suddenly leaned in so close that their nose was almost touching.
“Too bad, my love because if I remember correctly, you and I were the ones who brought this restaurant to where it is today. Hell, this restaurant is even in your name and I’m sure that’s why pretty boy over there wasn’t able to detect that it belonged to us and you’re my girl, you always have been and always will be. I know you’re hurt and I know it’s going to take a lot of time till you learn to give me a chance but you’re my girl and that’s never going to change” She stared into his eyes with a frown but before she could say anything, Levi pushed her gently behind him and stood in front of her.
“You claim you love her yet, every time she’s with you, she’s either sad or angry. What kind of love is that?” Zane raised an eyebrow.
“I wasn’t talking to you so get out of my way” But Levi stood his ground then held onto Kiara’s hand tightly.
“She’s my girl and my date even if it’s for the night and I’d appreciate it if you let us be together and stop trying to butt in” They both stared into each other’s eyes, the other refusing to back down.
“Guys, please let’s not do this” Kiara murmured from behind drawing Zane’s attention to her.
“If Kiara wants me to leave then I’ll leave and won’t bother you both for the night anymore” He stared into her eyes and she sighed inwardly before taking her fingers through her hair.
“Go home, Zane. It’s getting late” Zane scowled when he saw the smile on Levi’s face as soon as Kiara said that. Who gave him the right to smile?
“You want me to leave?” Zane questioned like he hadn’t heard her correctly and she nodded.
“Yes, I want you to leave. I want to enjoy my night with Levi without you breathing down our necks” Zane scoffed as he straightened up then he folded his arm.
“Well I’m sorry to burst your bubble but I’m not going anywhere. You’re going to have your date with me and enjoy it. Are you coming in or not?”
