Ch. 76..80: Loving My Rejected Luna Chapter 76-80

Chapter 76

Kiara couldn’t help but sigh Every ten minutes when she felt Zane’s eyes on her. He was sitting two tables away from them under her request but still, it felt like he was breathing on their necks because of how intently he was staring.

“How do you do it?” She turned to Levi as soon as she heard his voice.

“Do what?”

“He’s obviously so possessive of you. How do you cope with that?” Kiara sighed. Yes, it was true that Zane was possessive of her but it was never in a bad way. Right now, he was just behaving this way because he was threatened but she didn’t say all these to Levi, she just smiled.

“Shall we order?” He nodded with a smile then picked up the menu and ordered with her. After they were done with that, Levi took her hand that was on the table in his and began drawing soothing circles on her front palm.

“Do you remember when we first met?” It took a whole lot of will power not to look at Zane as Levi grabbed her hand. She could feel Zane’s eyes on them and just hoped he wasn’t going to cause a scene.

She smiled at Levi then nodded.

“Of course I do. Why were you trying to kill yourself?” The smile slipped off Levi’s face then he sighed.

“Let me just say that life is not as good to me as you would think and I was at a point of weakness but I don’t want to talk about that. You saved my life and I’m glad I got to meet such a special human being. Having you in my life has been one of the best things that has happened to me” Before she could say anything, Zane scoffed loudly making everyone’s eyes to turn to him.

To Levi, she was sure he was confused by Zane’s reaction but Kiara knew that Zane had been listening in on their conversation.

She turned away from Zane back to Levi.

“I was happy I met you also. Even though you were very annoying to me and I wasn’t in the mood for your flirting that day” Levi laughed.

“Yeah I remember. You were so rude to me. What were you doing in that area in the first place?” Her face suddenly turned solemn then she bowed her head and squeezed her eyes shut.

“I… I went to visit my son’s grave. It was his death anniversary that day” Levi immediately went silent and Kiara held Zane hold his breath.

“I’m so sorry, I… I didn’t know” She flashed him a small smile but the sadness in her eyes was obvious.

“Heather was the only one that knew about my son’s death. I never told anyone because it pained me to think about… think about the day he died. His name was Nikolas and…. He was very little, hadn’t even properly formed yet. I didn’t even get to hear him cry. I’m sorry but I have to use the restroom” She immediately stood up and without turning back, she ran away towards the bathroom hoping that Levi or Zane didn’t come after her but she should have known better.

She closed the bathroom door behind her as she wept bitterly while pounding her fist on her chest. After all these years, the thought of her son still hurt like it was yesterday.

“Kiara… Kiara are you okay?” She opened her eyes slowly as she listened to Zane’s whispers.

“Are you okay, my love?” She frowned.

“Please go away, I don’t want to see your face” She heard him sigh.noveldrama

“I know I’m the last person you want to see right now but I just… I just want to make sure you’re okay” She closed her eyes as she slid down the door and sat down on the floor.

“Just leave me alone, Zane. Just go!” She screamed then wrapped her arms around herself.

“Please, please I’m begging you, let me in. Let me comfort you” She shook her head.

“You’d only make it worse, Zane. Please, just go” She murmured then rested her head on her palm as she wailed loudly. She knew Zane was still on the other side of the door since she could smell his scent and as much as she hated to admit it, his scent and presence gave her a sense of comfort. A sense of comfort that no one else could give her.

After a while of just sitting there and wallowing in her misery, she felt the door behind her open and before she could turn around, Zane wrapped his arms around her as he knelt down on the ground.

“I’m so sorry, My love. If I could go back in time to change everything, I would in a heartbeat. I love you so much and I never stopped. I was a fool and I still am a fool but please, please don’t push me away” He murmured into her ear which made her sigh. She wasn’t in the mood for this right now. In fact, she wasn’t in the mood for anything even the date. She just wanted to go home.

“Let go of me, Zane” He shook his head and held her tightly.

“No, I don’t want to let you go, I want to hold you forever. Please, please give me a chance” She sighed tiredly.

“We are toxic for each other Zane, you know that. I can’t… I can’t take my chances with you and I’m tired, I’m tired of trying to earn your trust” He shook his head.

“You don’t have to earn my trust anymore, I’m the one that has to earn your trust. I’ll change just for you so please give me a chance” If it was some other time, she would have caved and given in to what

he wanted because of how much she loved him but she was learning to love herself more and she knew she deserved better.

She used all her strength to pull herself out of his hold then she stood and stared Down at him. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying because of how sorrowful he looked kneeling Down in front of her.

“Please Kiara…. Please” He murmured and tried reaching out for her but she moved away and stared down at him emotionlessly.

“Good bye, Zane” With that, she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom leaving a dejected and broken looking Zane kneeling down on the bathroom floor.

Chapter 77

After what happened, Kiara wanted to go back home because she wasn’t in the mood for anything at the moment but when she saw how eager Levi looked waiting for her, she flashed him a smile and sat back down at the table.

“Are you okay?” He questioned with a soft voice and she nodded.

“I’m sorry I kept you waiting, I just…” Levi grabbed her hand.

“You don’t have to apologize because I understand. I’m just glad that you’re okay now” She smiled at him then from the corner of her eye, she watched as Zane said something to the manager and then, he was gone.

She sighed slightly as a frown settled on her face. Had he given up and why was she sad about it?

Just then,her phone dinged and when she glanced down at it, her heart raced as she read the message.

“I’m never going to give up on you but the least I can do is give you space and rectify my mistake. I know you’re mad and you have every right to be but even if we are toxic for each other, it doesn’t matter because you’re my other half. We were made for each other Kiara and the love we share was something I took for granted in the past but not this time. If I have to fight for your heart then I will. I love you and I’ll always love you” A small smile appeared at the side of her lips but it was gone in a flash when she heard Levi’s voice.

“Is everything okay?” He questioned and she nodded with a smile.

“Everything will be okay. Shall we order? I’m starving” Levi nodded then called the waiter over and they placed their order.

Kiara wasn’t surprised that she actually enjoyed her time with Levi. They talked about anything and everything and he always found a way to make her laugh. She always felt free in his presence and he was a lovely guy so why… why couldn’t she forget about Zane and fall in love with Levi instead?

After they had their dinner, they drove back home and on the way, Kiara ended up falling asleep.

Levi would sneakily glance at her with a smile on his face and as soon as they got to the Villa, he ordered everyone to be quiet as he gently carried her out of the car and up to her bedroom. He had given her the second biggest room in the house and although she tried to refuse it at first, Hannah was very good with persuasion.

He carried her into the room then gently placed her on the bed before taking off her shoes and tucking her into the bed. When he was done, he let out a sigh as he stood over her, watching her sleep.

He knew he probably looked like a lunatic staring at her but she was breathtaking. The moon light fell on her face making her even more ethereal than normal. He wanted her, God knew how much he wanted her to be his but there was only one problem and that was Zane. He needed to get Zane out of the picture.

He was never one to play dirty but for Kiara, he was going to use all the dirty tricks in the book to win her heart.

He leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“Sleep tight, Kiara. I love you” He murmured then straightened up before walking out of the room. As soon as he was far away, he brought out his phone from his pocket and with coldness in his eyes, he dialed a number.

“He’s back and now we can carry on with the plan but the only way I’ll do this is if Kiara is spared” His skin immediately began to crawl when his father began to laugh.

“Are you giving me an ultimatum, son?” Levi bit his lower lip as he began to tremble. He remembered what Kiara had told him when he had been in Paris and a sudden wave of boldness surged through him.

“Yes, Father. If she’s harmed, the deal is off and I’ll reveal your whole plan to Zane” His father went silent for a while.

“If you tell him, you’re going to lose the girl and your life. Do you want that?”

“No but I’d do anything to protect her and you know I could care less about my life. Promise me that you’ll leave her out of your revenge plan and I’ll carry on with your dirty work, okay?” His father laughed again but this time, it was not a menacing laugh but an amused one.

“Okay, son” His father hung up and he let out a breath he hadn’t remembered holding. He hoped he won’t regret going this later on and he hoped Kiara won’t hate him for what he was about to do. noveldrama

“Wake up, Zane” Daniel muttered as he walked into Zane’s room but Zane totally ignored him and continued sleeping.

“Oh don’t act. I know you hardly got any shut eye last night. By the looks of it, your plan to get Kiara back didn’t work”

“Shut up” Zane muttered then slowly opened his eyes to stare at Daniel.

“Any lead on Samantha?” Daniel shook his head.

“It’s almost like she disappeared off the face of the earth” Zane scoffed.

“That’s just an excuse for your incompetence. I want everyone that has been in touch with her before she disappeared to be brought to me Immediately. Bring her family also” Daniel furrowed his eyebrows.

“You still want to go after their parents? You’re already on thin ice with Kiara and…”

“I didn’t ask for your opinion, Daniel. It’s an order so don’t dare question it” Daniel sighed then bowed his head.

“On it, Alpha” Daniel turned around and was about to walk out of the room when he paused and turned back to Zane.

“Are you okay though?” Zane nodded.

“Why won’t I be?” Daniel sighed.

“I know you’re used to bottling your emotions in you but I’m here, Liam is here so if you want to talk or vent, we are always here” Zane stared at him for a while but didn’t say anything before closing his eyes and going back to sleep. The only place where he could be with Kiara without any troubles or past mistakes was in his dreams and he never wanted to wake up

Chapter 78

As soon as Kiara opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Heather staring down at her eagerly.

“What do you want now, Heather? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Heather grinned.

“How did the date go last night? Levi thought he was slick but I saw him carrying you up to your last night but I just didn’t want to say anything” Kiara furrowed her eyebrows then glanced around. She really was in her room.

“I didn’t even know when I fell asleep, I must have been too tired” Heather suddenly frowned then grabbed onto Kiara’s face.

“What is it?” Kiara questioned with furrowed eyebrows.

“Did you cry last night? What did Zane do this time?” Heather questioned through clenched teeth and Kiara sighed before pushing her hand away.

“It’s nothing, I was just reminded of Nikolas” Heather sighed as she sat down on the bed.

“What happened?” Kiara sighed.

“Can we not talk about that? Just know that the date with Levi went well and I enjoyed my time with him” Heather smiled.

“Even with Zane there?”

“He left shortly after” Heather’s eyes widened slightly.

“Really? I didn’t expect that. I thought he was going to breath down you and Levi’s neck for the rest of the night. That explains why Levi was the one who brought you home” Heather muttered and Kiara couldn’t help but sigh.

Just then, her phone dinged. She picked it up and was surprised to see about five messages from Zane.

“You still have his number?” Kiara turned to Heather as soon as she asked that.

“I saved it last night after the message he sent me. We might not get back together but must we be enemies?” Heather rolled her eyes.

“Can you hear yourself, Kiara? There’s no way you and Zane can just be friends and if you don’t cut him off now, you’ll not be able to cut him off later. You know what,give me your phone” Heather tried reaching out for the phone but Kiara moved her hand away.

“Wait, let me read what he has to say first” Heather sighed.

“Kiara…”

“Please, let me just read it, okay?” Heather stared at her for a while then sighed before nodding.

“Okay but after that, we’ll delete and block his number, okay?” Kiara nodded slowly then sat up with the phone in hand. She took a deep breath before opening his message.

‘Good morning, my love. I hope you slept well because I did’

‘My dreams were filled with you and I honestly never wanted to wake up because of that. I miss you so much, my love’ She only noticed she was crying when Heather wiped away her tears with her thumb.

She took a deep breath before Reading on.

‘I’m finding it so hard to get up from bed because there’s nothing I look forward to anymore. I know I sound stupid since I was the one that pushed you away and destroyed what we had and that guilt and regret is going to haunt me forever’

‘Just know that I love you and I’ll never stop begging you for a chance, a second chance is all I ask for’ noveldrama

‘And please don’t delete or block my number. Even if you don’t reply to me, I’m happy with the fact that you at least read my messages because I’ll never stop sending them’ She sniffled after reading all his messages because she could feel the emotions in them.

“Are you okay?” She turned to Heather and saw the sad look on her face. Kiara shook her head.

“I’m not okay, Heather. Why is this happening to us? We used to be so happy. We were so happy in Paris but then… everything fell apart so easily” Heather immediately wrapped her arms around her with a sigh.

”Sometimes, things like this just happen for no reason” Kiara shook her head.

“I love him so much. Heather. You don’t understand how much it hurts” Heather frowned.

“I was abandoned by the man I loved too, Kiara. Yes it does hurt but all we have to do is move on. Even if you decide to forgive Zane now, who’s to say he won’t be manipulated again and turn on you? Don’t take chances with him, Kiara when they’re thousands of men out there that would love to have you as theirs and treat you like a queen,just the way you deserve. Yes, it’s hard to move on, I’ve not totally moved on from Daniel but it’s a slow process and no one is rushing us. I’m not going to interfere anymore because I can’t control your heart but until Zane begins to trust you, your relationship with him can never work out” Kiara cried on Heather’s shoulder for almost an hour. She was just overwhelmed by all the emotions but one thing was for sure, she had to think of herself. What would benefit her? What would make her happy?

Yes, Zane did make her happy and did make her feel like a queen…. Literally but could he keep her feeling that way forever or was something else going to push them away again?

After what felt like hours, Kiara pulled back from the hug, squeezed her phone in her, then just like that, she deleted Zane’s number and blocked it so he could never reach out to her again.

He had hurt her and ruined her life. As much as she loved him to death, she needed to rearrange her life again before getting into a relationship. She wasn’t going to lead Levi on as well because she knew she would never love him as much as she loved Zane so why use him when he was a good person?

“Let’s start over, Heather. I’m done with relationships for now. I just want to get back on my feet and do the one thing I love the most, interior designing” Heather nodded slowly at her.

“If that’s what you want then I’ll always be here for you and I’ll always be with you every step of the way” Kiara smiled. Heather would always be her pillar, a pillar that could never be broken.

 

Chapter 79

Daniel was walking past Liam’s room when he heard Heather’s name. He paused then turned to the door with furrowed eyebrows.

“So I won’t be able to see you today?” Liam questioned.

“I have to be here for Kiara because she needs me. Besides, we are going back to our old apartment. I don’t know why Kiara wants to leave this big mansion for such a small apartment but I’d go anywhere for her” Daniel placed his ear on the door and continued listening in on their conversation.

“Kiara has such a huge space in your heart, doesn’t she? I hope I’ll be able to get a little space in your heart. Is there hope for me?” Daniel Frowned at Liam’s words. Was something really going on between them?

“Keep trying and maybe I’ll create a space for you” Heather answered and Liam chuckled.

“Okay, princess. Do you still want to talk for a while? I’ve got nothing to do”

“I have to eat breakfast. I’ll text you later?”

“Okay, goodbye princess” Daniel sighed but before he could walk away, Liam called out his name.

“I know you’re there, Daniel. I can smell your scent” Daniel paused then turned to the door. Seconds later, Liam opened up with furrowed eyebrows.

“Can I know why you were listening in on my conversation with Heather?” Daniel shrugged.

“I don’t think I have to explain myself to you” Liam sighed.

“I don’t understand your new attitude with me. You have been shutting me down and we hardly even spend time with each other anymore. Do you have a problem with me? If you do, just say it” Daniel

scoffed.

“And what makes you think I have a problem with you?” Liam shrugged.

“Because your behavior towards me has changed. Is this because of Heather?” Daniel frowned.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Your attitude with me now all started when Heather was staying at the warehouse with us. It’s because of her, isn’t it? You don’t like that I’m spending time with her?” Daniel scoffed.

“And why should I care who she chooses to spend her time with? Heather and I have nothing together so she’s free to be with whoever the fuck she wants and I could care less” Liam frowned.

“You don’t have to be so harsh you know?” Daniel snorted.

“Why won’t I be harsh when you keep assuming useless things? Do whatever the fuck you want with her, at least she’s your problem now not mine” Daniel was about to walk away when he heard Heather’s voice.

“Liam, you… you forgot to hang up” Daniel’s eyes widened as he abruptly turned to the phone. Liam was just as shocked as he was.

“Oh I didn’t…. I didn’t know I’m sorry” Liam muttered and was about to cut the call but Daniel grabbed the phone from his hand.

“Listen Heather, I didn’t mean it like that,I just…”

“Whatever you meant doesn’t concern me, Daniel. Sorry I was a problem to you” Then she hung up leaving Daniel devastated. Gosh! Why couldn’t he control his tongue?!noveldrama

“I didn’t know the call was still on” Liam muttered drawing Daniel’s attention to him. Daniel glared at him and without warning, he grabbed Liam by the neck and pressed him against the wall.

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Liam tried to pry his fingers off his neck.

“What do you think you’re doing, Daniel? Let go of me” Liam managed to say but Daniel just tightened his fingers around his neck.

“Admit that you did that on purpose. You wanted her to hear our conversation, didn’t you?” Liam scoffed.

“How was I supposed to predict that you’d say something so stupid and hurtful? You brought this upon yourself so stop trying to blame me and if you don’t care about her, why are you behaving this way?” Daniel glared at him then raised his fist and was about to punch him when Zane spoke.

“Stop that childish fight you both have going on” They both turned to his voice and saw Zane walking down the hall dressed in black pants and a wine color button down shirt that was only buttoned halfway through.

“He…”

“I don’t care to know what’s going on between the both of you. You can do that later when I’m not around” Zane interjected before Daniel could say anything.

Daniel glared at Liam one last time before letting him go. Liam coughed harshly as he fell to the ground while Zane let out a sigh.

“I have to say I’ve never seen you and Daniel fight before, it’s always Daniel and I. So what did Daniel do this time?” Daniel rolled his eyes.

“I thought you didn’t care about what was going on?” Zane smiled.

“I don’t but I’m in the mood for gossip” Daniel sighed.

“He’s mad because Heather finally got to see his true colors” Daniel glared at him.

“You know for a fact that I didn’t mean what I said” Liam scoffed.

“It doesn’t matter if you meant it or not, what matters is that she heard you and I’m glad she did. Now she will finally get rid of those feelings she has for you” Daniel was about to punch Liam but Zane grabbed his arm and stopped him.

“Daniel calm down and you, Liam, he’s your friend, why are you going for his girl?” Liam scoffed then slowly stood up from the ground.

“His girl? He abandoned his girl claiming he had fallen out of love for her so why is it a crime for me to go after her? I’ve always liked her, I liked her first and he knew that but he still went after her. I’m not mad though because they were mates but now that they’re not, I’m getting her back and if you don’t like that, that’s your business not mine” Liam muttered making Daniel clenched his fist.

“Liam, you…” Zane began but Liam immediately shut him up.

“You are in no position to say anything, Zane because you’re just like him. You both hurt the women you love and when another man tries to make them happy, you throw a fit” Zane was taken aback by Liam’s outburst but before he could say anything, Liam walked out on them.

 

Chapter 80

“I’m going to kill that boy” Zane muttered and was about to go after Liam but Daniel held him back.

“Don’t, just let it go” Zane turned to him with a glare.

“Let it go? Did you hear the little fucker just said to me?” Daniel sighed as he dragged his hand along his face.

“Can we forget about him for a while? I know you didn’t come all the way here just because you heard us arguing” Zane closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply, trying to calm down his anger.

“I got a call from Leo and there’s something we need to see by the border. I didn’t want to get up but the tone of his voice was filled with fear and you know Leo, the only thing that scares him is me and something utterly disastrous” Daniel nodded slowly.

“Then we need to get there immediately” Zane nodded

“But first, I need to deal with Liam” He muttered and was about to run after Liam but Daniel held him.

“You can do that later. I have a feeling this is more important than that” Zane stared at Daniel for a while before letting out a sigh and nodding.

“Let’s go”

Kiara furrowed her eyebrows as Heather walked into the dining room with a frown on her face.

“What happened? Did Liam say something to you?” Kiara questioned because Heather had stepped out to receive a call from Liam earlier.

“I don’t want to talk about it” Heather muttered as she sat down on the chair without sparing Kiara a glance which made her frown but before she could question further, Levi walked into the dining room

with a bright smile on his face.

“Good morning ladies, I’m sorry if I kept you waiting for long. I had to get ready for work” Kiara turned to him with a smile but Heather just nodded at him.

“You look nice” Kiara complimented as he sat down making him chuckle.

“Well I have to dress nice now since there’s a certain someone I’d like to impress” Kiara raised an eyebrow at him with a smile but before she could say anything, Heather let out a groan.

“I know I’m in support of your relationship but can you both not flirt in front of me?” Levi furrowed his eyebrows while Kiara frowned.

“Is something wrong? Did Liam say something to you? If he did, tell me and I’ll…”

“He didn’t say anything to me, Liam is sweet to me” Heather murmured then let out a sigh.

“So it was Daniel then? What did he say?” Kiara questioned with her eyes filled with curiosity.

“He said I’m Liam’s problem now, not his” Kiara and Levi both gasped at the same time.

“Damn” Levi muttered while Kiara’s mouth laid agape then her shock suddenly turned into anger. She banged her fist as she rose up from the chair.

“I’m going to make that bastard wish he had never been born” Kiara muttered and was about to storm out of the room when Heather grabbed her.

“No Kiara, there’s no need for that” Levi scoffed as he stood up.

“Of course there’s a need. Why would he say something like that? Come on Kiara, I’ll drive you over to him” Kiara nodded and was willing to go with Levi but Heather stopped them.

“Could you both please just stop? Please? I don’t want this to turn into a bigger situation. I knew he didn’t feel anything for me but I just didn’t think he saw me as a problem. I’m glad I know now” She muttered then let go of Kiara’s hand as she sat back down on the chair beside her.

Kiara pulled her chair towards Heather and sat down as well.

“Don’t speak like that, He’s just a jerk, nothing more. You’re not a problem to anyone, right Levi?” He nodded.

“After Kiara, you’re the next person I adore” Kiara raised an eyebrow at his words but smiled when she saw the little smile on Heather’s lips.

“Don’t stress yourself over it, he’s very unlucky to have lost someone like you, Heather” Kiara murmured then wrapped her arms around her and hugged her tightly.

“I know what can make you feel better, Heather,” Levi said after a while. Heather pulled away from the hug and furrowed her eyebrows at Levi.

“What?” He grinned.

“Shopping” Heather’s eyes immediately brightened as she squealed in her chair.

“You are serious? You’re taking us shopping?” Levi nodded.

“You can buy whatever you want without caring about the price, okay? This also implies to you, Kiara. If you even want a new apartment then don’t be afraid to ask for it” Heather opened her mouth to say something but Kiara quickly interjected.

“No worries, we can manage our old apartment” Heather frowned then she grabbed Kiara’s hand with a pout.noveldrama

“Please Kiara? Just let him buy us an apartment. Why would you want to stay in that rickety old apartment anyway?” Kiara sighed.

“You know we don’t have money to pay him back right now and even if he says he wants to give us for free, you know that I won’t let that happen. He has let us stay in his home for long enough and I’d feel like I’m riding on his kindness” Levi chuckled.

“How about this? I get you both the apartment then you’ll come work for me at my company. I haven’t really had it decorated yet because no one else shared the same mindset when it comes to what I wanted except you. I’ll get you the apartment, the money I pay for your services, you can use from it to pay me back, how does that sound?” Heather squealed as she grabbed onto Kiara’s hand with wide eyes.

“Say yes, please say yes” Kiara sighed. It would be unrealistic for her to say no. He was offering them a better place to stay and if they lived in a better apartment, she could start her life over again with Heather from scratch.

“As long as you promise to tell me the real price the apartment cost” He grinned then tilted his head to the side.

“Hmmm I’ll think about it”
