All Chapters of Choosing My Own Mate After Rebirth: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CARTERXavier walked into my office without knocking and no, I wasn't offended. Since I had assigned him the role as my new beta, he'd been nothing but hardworking and reliable, all to my surprise."There's someone who's waiting to see you," He said as he walked further into my office and instead of him to stand before me, like any beta and secretary would, he relaxed on the couch."And?" I asked, "I'm not sure I have any appointments.""Exactly" Xavier gritted his teeth, "the only reason I'm informing you is because I don't want to commit murder in your company,"I chuckled. Xavier was not one to easily lose his cool so whoever was waiting to see me had him pissed off, "what happened?""This dumb head, he says his name is Tristan," Xavier frowned as if regretting not strangling Tristan, "he wants to see you and when I asked if he had an appointment, he stupidly replied that he didn't need an appointment to see anyone, especially you. He says he shares a close relationship with you."

CARTERHailey strolled into my office and I immediately noticed her facial expression. She wasn't happy."Are you okay?" I asked after she had taken a seat on the couch."I met Tristan at the reception," She said. I didn't know the right way to react to her statement. Anger or happiness? I had no idea."Okay?" I urged her to continue."He said he wants me back. Can you believe it?" She finally divulged.Truthfully, I couldn't. I refused to believe it because I feared the possibly response she had given him."And what did you say?" I asked, trying hard to hide my tenseness, "...did you agree?""What? Of course not!" She reacted as though I had just accused her of infidelity. Strangely enough, it gladdened me.Her reply felt like diving into a refreshing pool in a hot summer day. Unable to hide my relief, I let out a sigh of contempt which Hailey noticed."Did you perhaps think that I'd agree to get back with him," She questioned me with raised brows and I instantly panicked."No, of co

HAILEYCarter and I sat quietly in the car, neither of us had said a word to the other since heated make out session and I was thankful for that.Because I needed to clear my head. I tried desperately to calm the ache between my legs, pressing my thighs together at regular intervals.I glanced at Carter and he looked unaffected and nonchalant but the visible bulge on his pants gave him away. He wasn't in control, after all."We're here," The chauffer announcing, halting my thoughts.Carter alighted from the car, turned to my side and pulled the door opened for me. He then held out his hands which I took without hesitation and stepped out.Carter placed his hand on the small of my back and then whispered, "remember to keep your head up, never feel intimidated."I nodded with a smile even though I didn't understand the reason for the advice but the moment we walked to the entrance of the hall, it dawned on me.Numerous paparazzi's surrounded us, bombarding us with series of questions an

XAVIERI tried to get into Carter's head through the mind link but I was shut out and when I called him and he didn't pick up, I instantly knew something was up. He was probably busy with Hailey, it was best to let them be.As I added the finishing touches to my outfit, I heard Temmy's complaints as she walked into the room, "Are we not gonna attend the gala?" She whined, "you've spent so much time getting ready, I'm beginning to wonder if you've become a lady."I smiled and then turned to face her. I felt my breath hitch at the sight of Temmy. Her beauty was on another level.Each day, when I thought I've gotten used to her beauty, she came out looking different and more breathtaking. It was like her special super power."If you keep looking at me like that, I'd assume you want me so badly that you can't breath" She smiled. "..but even if you want me, which I know you do because I'm simply irresistible, you should try hiding it a bit."I scoffed as I tried to comport myself. "Who wan

CARTERThe moment Temmy told me where to find Hailey, I didn't waste another a second in going after her. I needed to see her.Locating her was a bit difficult due to people scrambling around, trying to find suitable dance partners. Fortunately, I found her standing by the bar. As I walked towards her, my eyes caught a guy who approached her to ask for a dance but she politely declined, making the man leave dejected.I fastened my pace and got to her as quickly as I could before other leeches would take note of her. "Where have you been? I've been searching everywhere for you," I said immediately I reached her. I had a strange urge to touch her or feel her. I didn't mind as long as our body touched. As that was exactly what I did. I gently caressed her jawline before dropping my hand back to my side "I went out for some fresh air," She said unenthusiastically, ignoring my touch and I immediately knew something was wrong."Can I have this dance?" I asked expectantly, with my hand st
