Chapter 73
The next morning, Zane woke up with a splitting headache. He felt like he had just been run over by a car.
Just then, his room door open and Daniel walked in with a bowl in hand.
“How do you feel?" Zane groaned.
“Like shit" Daniel chuckled.
"We tried to warn you not to drink so much. Here, I brought you a tonic for migraines” Zane grimaced.
“I'd rather be run over by a truck than drink that" Daniel rolled his eyes.
“Fine then. Don't say I didn't warn you. You have to get out of bed, there's a situation at hand" Zane turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
“What is it?"
"A neighboring country's pack has been attacked” Zane groaned then let out a sigh before getting up slowly from the bed.
“Right now, my first priority is to get Kiara back. Every other thing has to wait" Daniel sighed. “You're not thinking straight at the moment, Zane so I'll let you be for a while but when I come back, we are going to solve this situation” Zane rolled his eyes.
"You can't boss me around” Daniel rolled his eyes.
“I can't but I'm sure Kiara can, right?” Zane's eyes suddenly widened then he frowned.
“Yes she can but she doesn't want anything to do with me" Zane mumbled and Daniel sighed “Listen, I didn't want to have to tell you this but they're going to attack us here soon enough. Hell, they have already began attacking us. Didn't I tell you about how they attacked Heather? If this isn't taken care of, they might attack Kiara next" Zane's eyes immediately turned cold.
“They won't dare or I'd tear them into shreds" Daniel tilted his head.
"Oh they would. They have a motiv, Zane and unless we don't find out what this is, everyone is in danger" Zane sighed as he dragged his palm along his face.
“You don't understand, Daniel. The only way I can focus on every other thing is when I know she's mine again. She's the only one that makes me function and it hurts me to the core that she's with another man at the moment and not with me. I have to get her back and the faster I get her back, the faster I get back to work" Daniel stared at him for a while then let out a sigh.
“Fine but do you have a plan to get her? You can't just go up to her and ask her to take you back” Zane sighed.
"I already have a plan. If she just gives me a chance, I can do anything for her" Daniel sighed.
“Well Liam and I are here to support you in whatever you do. Just don't make stupid decisions anymore” Zane rolled his eyes at him.
"Get out" Daniel chuckled as he walked out of the room. As soon as he was gone, Zane turned to his phone and grabbed it. After contemplating for a while, he dialed her number and pressed the phone against his ear, silently praying that sge would answer.
"Hello?" He sucked in his breath as he soared with happiness when he heard her voice.
“I didn't... I didn't expect you to pick up" She went silent thatheeven thought she had hung up at a point.
“I didn't know it was you." That sentence alone made his heart ache. Had she deleted his number? "Oh... did you... did you delete my number?" He questioned and heard her sigh.
“I decided to delete contacts that weren't needed" Ouch! That hit him right in the gut. He grimaced slightly then cleared his throat.
"Oh..." They were silent for a while till she sighed.
"What do you want, Zane? I've got things to do" He frowned. Even before, she was cold to him but not this cold.
“I just wanted to hear your voice because I missed you and I wanted to know if you'd like to meet up" She sighed.
"Why would you want to meet up with a cheating slut?" He squeezed his eyes then let out a sigh. “Kiara please don't do this to me"
“I'm not doing anything, am I? I've got to go, I have something to do”
"Will you at least agree to meet up with me? Maybe I can take you out on a date or..."
“That won't be possible because ... because I'm going on a date with Levi" His eyes shot right open as he held his breath.
“What?”
“I've got to go" With that, she hung up, not even giving him a chance to say another word.
He sat down on the bed with a defeated look on his face. She was going on a date with Levi? Does that mean she had really moved on?
He suddenly sprung up from the bed with a determined look on his face. She was his woman and he didn't care if she was going on a date with Levi, he was going to go on that date as well and get his girl back.
Kiara slapped her forehead with a groan. What was wrong with her? Why had she said all that?
She sighed then turned around and immediately froze when she saw Levi standing behind her with wide eyes and a tray filled with food in the other.
"Oh Levi... I didn't see you there" He dropped the tray on the table then walked towards her.
"Did you really mean it? Are you going on a date with me?" She pursed her lips. She had only said that to spite Zane.
"Ohh... erm..." He frowned then let out a sigh.
“You only said that to make Zane jealous right?" She stared at her toes in shame.
“I'm sorry" He shook his head.
“You don't have to be sorry, I said I was going to keep trying till I win your heart, right? That also means I have to be patient. I brought you breakfast since you weren't coming down and I brought you your favorites according to Heather. I'll take my leave now" She glanced at the food then let out a sigh. Levi was being sweet and Heather was right, Zane was toxic for her so why not try to move on with someone like Levi?
“Wait Levi... I'll go on a date with you"...
