All Chapters of Once Rejected, Now Desired : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

ASHER Several hours and twelve calls later, the first twelve contacts in my journal denied seeing Sophia. Some of which I believed because I hadn’t heard from them in weeks, months. And some - like my cousin, Ivan - were no longer in Darkmoon pack. So where had she gone? Who had she spoken to? I made sure to leave out the part that she was missing, so it wouldn’t scare whoever had contacted her. My efforts were futile. Tired, I tossed my phone and the journal to the right end of my bed, while I sunk deeper into the left and buried my head into my palm. My chest felt heavy. So heavy I wish I could scream at the top of my lungs and cry as much as I needed to. But what good would that do to finding Sophia? I should never have let her go. No matter what she thought, I should have invested myself in whatever plan she had even though it would make her sick of me. The sound of my door creaking open caused me to jump from my bed. I half expected it to be Sophia walking through the door

ASHER Being backstabbed was one thing, but being stabbed in front and still not being able to see or acknowledge your assailant was another. A heavy sign of negligence and foolishness, both of which I had been able to convince myself that I now suffered from. How else could I have been so blind and stupid? Of course it was Ivan! It suddenly explained why I couldn’t find any of the files Adeline had given me before my accident. Yes. I remembered every minute detail, down to the last conversation. It all came rushing to my mind after I remembered Sophia was my wife. However, I had led myself to believe that all was well since Reed had fled the city, and Ivan was practically nowhere to be found. That was, of course, until Reed returned. I knew if I was going to find out what he wanted, I would have to pull him close and act the fool. As I paced around my room that morning, waiting for Ivan’s call, it took everything in me not to smash my head against the wall. I didn’t know how or

SOPHIA “We only have one shot at this, is everyone with me?” I knew it was important to ask after I had told them the plan. I couldn’t deny the fact that they all looked scared out of their minds, and I worried for them too. My mind had not been able to get rid of the fear, but I figured it was better the fear of the unknown drove me to find a way to escape, than for it to keep me locked up in this godforsaken place. Besides, I had promised that I would ruin Claire for what she did to me. I seldom made promises, but I made sure to keep them whenever I did. It was the same way I had promised to be with my boys no matter what. No force on earth could stop me from doing that. “There might be hundreds of them out there. If we are going to do this, we are going to have to do it as a team…” the green-eyed lady spoke as her eyes traveled around the room. She had done a great deed by helping me explain the plan to some of the locals who couldn’t understand our language. I was grateful sh

ASHER Three hours. That was all Ivan had left before I took measures to rain hell down on him. It was nothing compared to what he truly deserved, but I could make do with that. I was seated in my study when my phone chimed with a message. I slipped it out of my pocket, hurriedly, my body rippling with expectancy. Unlocking my phone, I noticed I had gotten a text from Ivan. I hurriedly tapped the banner and it opened into a wall of full blown files. I hadn't tapped any of it open before another message came in. It was a written text. "If you want to save your woman, you should. I am currently at Reed's house and I have been able to stall Reed and Adeline from leaving the house. Get the authorities with you and come here real quick because I don't know how long I can hold them for.” Hurriedly, I pushed back my swivel seat, tapping aggressively against my skin as I made direct contact to the local authorities. I had a few friends there so it was easier to immediately get

SOPHIA. Asher had to attend to a few things and he left, not without promising to return back to me later in the day. I ate and took a nap and the next time I woke up, it was past noon. "Someone is here to see you." One of the maids announced and I gestured to her to allow whoever it was to come in. It was Lady Hannah, dressed in a beautiful bright yellow. I smiled on seeing her. She closed the door behind her. She had a bouquet of roses in her hand and she smiled at me while gently placing them on the bedside table. "I got those for you." "Thank you so much, Hannah,” I replied, and she nodded. "I'm really happy to see that you are finally recuperating. " Her eyes crinkled at the corners and she rubbed my hand softly. "You're fully recovered, yes?" "Of course, I am." "That's good. That's really good. You'll be on your feet in no time." I nodded and fiddled with my fingers before I looked up at her. "Uhm, Asher told me everything you did, Hannah
