Chasing His Rejected Luna 199
JADEI was fuming by the time I got the confirmation that Atlas was on his way. I gave the order to get him in and as much as I was rethinking it because of how anxious I was feeling, the interaction with Antonio has my blood boiling and that is what is feeling me generally. I was really fucking angry that he had the audacity to do that.What does he think? He owns me or what?!?I wanted to scream out in frustration. Damn. It. Maybe hit him a few times too.I was seated on the couch in one of the drawing rooms downstairs. I didn’t want him anywhere near my own space. So, this is all he is getting right now.I had my arms wrapped around me, mostly because I kept getting nervous about the whole bump thing, and well, alphas had a thing for sniffing around they offsprings.My hand moves over my bump slowly, and I shook my head and reached for the telephone on the table beside me, ready to call the security and tell them to have Atlas leave. He chooses to walk in right at that moment. Beca

ATLASI was feeling murderous, my blood still boiling from the interaction with that fucking ma. Earlier, and to find out he spewed some lies to Jade about it. I’m not even as annoyed at the fact that he made some shit up. I’m jus disappointed that she believed him, and now this?She actually is pregnant. She hasn’t explicitly confirmed it, but I got all the answers I needed in the way her eyes widened and how she lost her ability to speak. I would have relished in the success of making her speechless after everything she has said tonight. But right now, I’m too busy trying to ignore the burning in my chest to even think of anything smart to say.“So, that’s it?” I asked, timing my head to the side. I didn’t mean for my voice to come out as deep or as harsh as it did. I only even realised that I sounded that way when Jade flinched. And I really wished I had it in me to feel bad.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She tried to school her features like it wasn’t already too late.

JADEI’ve only been to Antonio’s apartment once. Which was weird to think about. We’ve been dating officially for almost a moment, and the only time I came here was when we had dinner, I think it was even our first date and I drank too much so he brought me here. Not much has changed here.Well, it was only a few weeks since I was her and he mentioned anything about a renovation. Thinking of the call I had with Ray the next morning made me smile at the memory fondly. She was here with me, much to her dismay, surprisingly. She loves Antonio but she would rather not be spending her Saturday being our third wheel.Those were her exact words. And she refused to believe me when I told her weren’t spending all day there. I was just going to check on him and then we’ll keep him company. She gave me a look that said she didn’t believe anything I was saying. And until she brought it up, I never considered there was another reason while I told her to come with me. Even if I didn’t acknowledge it

JADEI was confused for a moment that I couldn’t even bring myself to move. Shock rooting to the spot I was standing while my eyes remained on the place I saw the woman sneak out of.So many questions ran through my mind, why was she running? Who was she? How did she get in? What the fuck is going on? Of course, there was no one to answer all these questions for me. I shook my head, fighting every nasty thought I was having. All the crazy expansions my brain wax coming up with just didn’t seem right.Also, I had to deal with Antonio’s annoyance.Why does everything always go up in flames when Atlas decides to show his face again?I was battling with those unwanted thoughts and what to think of the whole situation with Antonio when I felt a sharp pain in my lower stomach. Instead of panicking, I forced myself to breathe in and out slowly until it subsided. I have never felt anything like ti and it scared me. When I regained my energy, I headed straight to the gate and flagged down a ca

ATLASI’m not justifying my stalking for making me end up here. Sitting opposite Jade that is still sleeping on the bed, while physically shaking with anger and and joy and rage and relief. I had been speechless when the doctor called me. I mean, I may have gotten someone to switch her emergency contact to my phone umber but I didn’t think it would work.When I received the call that she’d been rushed to the hospital, I dropped all that I was doing, which was searching for her location so I could see what she was up to. It was like the answers I was looking for have been thrown on my lap. I hailed a cap, and screamed at him the entire ride to go faster.They didn’t tell me what was going on with her, just that I was needed in the hospital urgently.Imagine my surprise when the doctor asked why I was here instead of Antonio, her boyfriend, or her father.At first she apologised and said it was a mistake they called me because there was no way I could be her emergency contact. Since app

JADEThe door opened and we both turned towards the doctor that just walked in, breaking the stare off Atlas and I were having. I finally had a moment to breathe. After what he just said, not just what the said but the way he sounded. I knew it was’t just an empty threat and he would very well win if this case were to go further.I was still legally married to him. And if we do get divorced now, he will get custody. Easily, might I add. I kept this from him for months. That is a crime in this society that was buried in patriarchy. The men are always right and the offspring of an alpha, no matter the number means a lot to them. And I intentionally kept his away form him.The little I managed to get into my lungs was’t enough anymore. And I could feel my eyes stinging with tears at all the thoughts and possibilities of having my baby being taken away from me.“How are you feeling now, Jade?” The doctor tries to smile reassuringly at me. I know she would feel the tension in the room, prob

ATLASMy mind was running. I was thinking of what to do, how to do it and what results I would get. I was leaving with Jade, that much was clear. The baby she is having is mine, and mine alone. And I am going to be there from now onwards.Maybe it would be bad to say I didn’t care about what she thinks, or what she wants right now. She has done things her way for the past few months. It is time for me to do it my way now.Andrew had been the first to reach out and tell me there were pictures of me heading into the hospital all over social media and the news. And also, from a reliable source, which he found to be the cab driver that had driven Jade to the hospital, they knew Jade was here too. And now, it was a battle of what is going on. Why are we both here and not Antonio.You have no idea how that pissed me off. the audacity they has to mention him while I was with my wife.I have been thinking about the. And not in the usual ‘I want to skin him alive and tear him limb from limb for

ATLASI paced the room, my mind reeling with anger with each set that I was taking. Donald stood on the other Side looking like he has no idea what to do.“And have you figured out who put that hit out?” I paused and asked, running a hand through my hair in frustration.Two days ago, I wound’t have been this worried about someone trying to kill me. Now that I knew I was having a child with Jade. You cam be sure I’m going to be fucking alive to watch that child grow up. My blood won’t be raised by anyone but me.“We have tried searching, cross-checking the IP address. Reverse searching it. Everything, but nothing comes up.” He sounded as frustrated as I feel. “It is like the person sent this from heaven or some other word because it doesn’t exist anywhere.”I nodded absentmindedly, my mind still running as I thought of what to do. Which avenue to follow. The last thing I wanted was this affecting Jade in any way. Not when she is already sick and carrying a baby. She should be relaxed an
