Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 461

“Cleo, you really should give your parents more credit.”

“Sophia please.” I plead with her, my voice desperate.

“You’ll need the night to sleep on it. I have an appointment first thing, be here at 8am. If you still

feel the same as you do right now, then I will put measures in place…”

“Thank you.”

“Be on time, I can clear out my diary for the first hour to stop witnesses…any thing after that and

you’ll have to wait another day.”

“I understand.” I move from the chair, stepping towards the office door.

“Cleo..” Sophia calls out, I spin around to find her investigating the PH strip again.

“I advise you to really think carefully about this, once done…it cannot be taken back.”

Yes, that was the whole point.

…

I keep to myself, not wanting anyone to question this fiery mood spreading through out me.

Because if I really stopped and ask myself, was I really acting in the best interest of my family…or from anger.

Jace had already moved on.

I’m not saying we were anything in the first place, that it wasn’t completely one sided on my part but a word of warning from him, even a message when I have tried him so many times since the hotel stay. He would have read every message, listened to

every voice note…only to ignore it and then send me a message to let me witness his lover in her

lingerie in his bedroom.

Almost as if he wanted me to see her. Wanted me to know there was no hope of a future between us, that I was nothing to him. Now, not even a friend.

I refused to sleep, between my spiralling mind and not wanting to wake up with a new mindset, I wouldn’t have been able to rest even if I tried.

So as I wait outside Sophia’s Doctor office at 7.50am, a sad smile escapes her as she opens her

office door.
