Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 65

LARISA’S POV

~<>~

After tending to Aurelia’s abomination alone all night, I decided to visit Raiden without taking care of my appearance. I thought it would be good for my plans if he saw me looking haggard… I thought his heart would beat for me again if he realized that I was under a lot of stress because of his missing son…

Which was true even though it wasn’t in the same sense.

“... I’m putting you on the resting list though…”

Those words were a testament to the fact that he still cared about me… that he still saw the good in me and that I was happy. I got carried away by the love I had always carried in my heart for him and I hugged him, kissing his neck even though his skin reeks.

He clearly hasn’t showered today.

Yet I loved him.

“I have missed you, Raid. I’ve missed us.” I sighed, inhaling his musky scent as I held him, hoping that he would wrap his arms around me as well.

But Raiden tried to push me away instead of holding me.

“Larisa.” He called my full name despite knowing that I didn’t like hearing it from him.

I preferred him calling me Isa.

“Can’t you just hold me for two minutes, Raid? I’m hurting and exhausted.” I blurted, manipulating him again.

Raiden sighed but I won. He wrapped his arms around me, filling me with memories of the good old days when Aurelia wasn’t in the picture and the twins were far from being a threat to my place in Raiden’s heart.

Everything would be fine as long as Raiden still loves and chooses me.

However, the blissful moment was cut short when Raiden muttered close to my ears, “We need to talk, Larisa.”

“I just want to be in your arms, my love. Can we talk later?” I mumbled, closing my eyes to enjoy the moment.

Who knows? If he treats me better and makes me happier, I might return Kyle to Aurelia and have her leave the pack–

“We should talk now, please.” Did Raiden just beg me? Oh, dear goddess! Today must be a good day for me.

I pulled back just enough to gaze into his eyes, “Are you about to tell me to stop looking for you bastard son because I look like I’d drop dead any second from now?”

Raiden’s face knitted into a tight smile before I realized that I might have been a little too honest with my last statement. Before I could ease the tension, Raiden etched, “Yes, you can stop looking for my son since he is a bother to you.”

He pushed me off him, turning his back to me but that didn’t stop me from responding, “Of course he is a bother to me, Raiden. Don’t you get it!”
