The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: XADEN’S HEARTBREAK

XADEN’S POV

Once Jasmine had walked out of the room, Xaden kicked his fist into the wall and began smashing things.

When he was through, he was breathless; very slowly, he crumbled to the ground and sat down with the mess and pieces of furniture surrounding him.

He was breathing heavily.

He felt like a fool!

An absolute fool!

She had taken him for a fool! He had gone through all those lengths for her, and I’ll tell you how she had instantly betrayed him.

He was barely even able to believe any of it.

When he asked her if all the accusations being made against her were true, he had hoped that she would deny them.

Hoped that she would tell him and try to convince him that it was all a lie.

But to his greatest horror and disappointment, it had all been confirmed.

The moment she began to plead to him to forgive her, he knew that it was true.

It had shattered him.

It was a nightmare he had wanted to wake up from.

But it was reality.

He had made plans in his head.

He told himself that he would defy the order and make her his mistress.

He could never marry her because she was a slave, but he would give her a spot as his mistress.

He had even spoken to Erik about it, he had been excited and had even ordered that his room be made to accommodate someone else living with him.

His mouth felt sour and bitter.

He raked his fingers through his hair violently as he rummaged through his mind.

He was distraught.

Distraught that all of this was true, he now had no one else to turn to.

He had wanted to be with her, yet she had chosen to Betray him.

He looked so stupid in front of his men!

Thank the goddess that he had not announced to anyone else that he would make her mistress apart from Erik.

He would have been made a laughing stock.

It was something that he would never have been unable to recover.

The door opened, and Erik came in.

Erik put his hands on his waist.

"How are you holding up?" Erik asked.

Xaden remained on the floor, too weak to even stand up on his feet.

He did not even reply.
