Chapter 29

Romano

Her beautiful face, her adorable smile and laugh, her eyes, her lips and her presence made me longed for her. Damn it! I smashed the handlebar of my car because of my confusion. Part of me wanted to admit to myself that I am in love with but the other part of me was telling me that I don't love her and I will never love her. I am confused about my feelings with Jasmine. It is so complicated to explain and it is so complicated to figure out if I was loving her or not. My inner self kept fighting for what was the fact.

I picked up my phone and dialed my friend's number to accompany me to the bar. Drinking will help me with better understanding and to know what is the fact about my confusion. In just three rings of the phone, one of them answered me.

"It is too early, Romano for you to miss me." Harry said immediately he picked up the call and I grit my teeth.

"Where the hell are you, idiot?" I asked.

"At the bar, we slept there." He replied and I hung up the call without saying a word and continued driving to be able to meet them in the bar.

In less than fifteen minutes, I arrived at the bar already and stepped out of the car and entered inside the bar. The workers there welcomed me but I paid no attention to them.

"Welcome, Alpha Romano." They all said together but I didn't respond to them, I continued walking until I arrived at the table my friends were at. They looked at me in confusion and I am certain that they were about to ask me the reason for coming to the bar so early in the morning.

"What brought you….." Tim didn't finish his words as I cut him off.

"Give me some drinks." I said and they obliged.

"So, tell us. What troubles you?" Tim asked and I heaved a sigh before responding to him.

"It is about Jasmine." I said and they looked at me with an unbelievably expression.

"Don't tell me that you are in love with your replacement mate?" Harry asked and I didn't respond.

"You are in love, dude." Tim said and I just washed my face using my two hands in frustration.

"I don't know, okay? I am still confused and I can't confirm to myself if I love her." I replied and both of them nodded their heads.

"Maybe, some liquor will help you to realize it." Harry said and I just nodded my head in response.

Jasmine

It was already midnight when I decided to go back home. I spent my whole day at my friend, Khloe's house. I decided to avoid Romano for now in order to protect myself from hurt and pain. Avoiding them is the best thing I can do now. I am tired of punishing myself just because of him. Seeing him with my twin sister is breaking but I won't let them keep hurting me anymore.

"Are you sure that you don't want me to accompany you inside the house?" Khloe asked and I nodded my head.

"No,it is fine and thank you so much for your time." I replied and she smiled, responding to me.

I stepped out of her car and headed inside the house. I couldn't see anyone in the house as everywhere was so quiet. Romano and my sister are nowhere to be seen in the house, maybe they have gone for a date. I sighed again and continued walking to my room. I ate my dinner at Khloe's house so I didn't bother going to the kitchen. I laid on my bed as I got into the room and removed Romano away from my head.

I have many things to do tomorrow and make myself busy because thinking about him will hurt me more. I needed to forget him and wash him away from my heart because he will never fall in love with me or even love me the way he loved his dead mate. It is the time for me to remove any hopes I have towards him because he will only hurt me at the end of the day.

The next day, I made sure that both of them left the house before stepping out of my room. I finished all my morning routine and headed to the kitchen to prepare for my breakfast. As I was about to enter the kitchen, someone grabbed my hand and it almost made my soul flee from my body.

"What the hell!" I yelled as I glanced over to the person that grabbed me. My heartbeat increased seeing Romano in front of me and we are just an inch away from each other.

"Jasmine." He called my name in his husky tone and that alone made my heart skip because of nervousness.

"W…what are you doing here?" I asked while stuttering.

I thought he had left the house with Juliet but I was wrong. He is still here and standing in front of me and our faces were just an inch away from each other and I could smell his hot minty breath. The strand of my hair stood on end because of him. He was about to kiss me but I used all my strength to push him away. For a second, I had almost forgotten the promise I made to myself that I must avoid him no matter what happened.

"Why are you avoiding me? He asked and I just clenched my fist. I heaved a sigh before responding to him.

"Juliet will be mad if she sees us together." I said and it made him cussed.

"Damn it, I don't care about her." He said and I was shocked. I can't believe what he just said.

"What did you just say? You don't care about my sister? After you have used her, that is all you could say about her." I said and he looked at me with his serious expression.

"Can we talk? I would like you to tell you something." He said and I craved to celebrate that at least he wanted to talk to me but I realized that I am fed up with him.

"Tell me what, Romano? You helped me to realize that you are not worth being loved. I learned to love you not minding the type of person you are but all you did was keep hurting me every day of life." I said, although I still love him and that fact can't be changed.

He is the man that made me feel the way I am feeling now and the only man that made me know and feel true love. He is the one that took my virginity away.

"Jasmine, I want to tell you…." I couldn't let him finish his sentence before I cut him off.

"I am tired, Romano. My heart is tired of loving the man who can't love in return. Let us end this craziness, I suggest you look for another wife that you can present to your Pack. I can't continue this because my heart is so tired of the endless pains you made me feel." I said and he was shocked hearing that from me. Actually this wasn't my plan, I promised myself that I am going to avoid him but the moment I saw him earlier, I decided to give up on him. Seeing him once again brought back those times. I caught him flirting with his mistresses and my twin sister and my heart wounded again because of that.

"Are you sure of your sudden decision? If you are ending the contract, then go ahead. You can date Kenneth because I don't care anymore. I don't care about you anymore." He said and that made me sobbed that I couldn't control my emotions as I slapped him on his face. He was about to slap me back but he stopped.

"You are not just a heartless and lethal Alpha but you are also a beast in human form." I said and he just stared at me like he wasn't concerned at all.

"It is your decision, Jasmine and I can't do anything to stop you. You may leave my house now and don't ever come back. I will marry your twin sister instead and I am planning to visit your parents to ask for their consent to wed their second daughter." He said and was about to walk away but I uttered some words.

"You are so mean, Romano! You keep hurting me and I cursed you for always doing that to me!" I screamed on top of my lungs and it made him turn towards me. He pushed me to the wall and stared me deeply in the eyes.

"You are unlucky because you are loving Romano Kelvin, the sex boy Alpha." He said and left me broken. I cried and stayed like that for a while and then he returned back. All I thought was that he was going to retrieve back his sentence but I was wrong.

"You know what, I was about to fix our relationship but I realized that you are not worthy of my efforts. Besides, I didn't love you and I can't ever fall in love with you." He said and it made me fall on the floor, overwhelmed in pain. I cried and agonized for all the words he just said to me.

"I promise you, Romano, that you will realize everything you did to me. Time will come when you will be the one running after me." I said to him as I stood up from sitting on the floor.

I realized that walking away would be the best thing I can do now. I loved the wrong man, I am loving the Alpha who only treated me as a replacement mate for his actual dead mate.
