Equally Ruthless

Elsie's POV

My eyes rolled down to see myself, and I felt so humiliated!

I was wondering if the Moon Goddess despised me. Why did she allow me to meet this man and made him my second chance? His mouth was such trash!

"You get drunk, joined me home, and urge me to have sex with you. How can you explain it now?" he said to me while he was holding the cigarette.

I couldn't believe how bad his mouth was to tell me those rude words to me.

"A woman who was pleading to sleep with her. That's who you are."

My forehead created lines as I was thinking what words I should use to respond. I didn't notice that I became that kind of woman last night. I didn't even know that he was my mate at that time, so what would be the reason? Just to got fuck to forget?

But the biggest question was, why did the Moon Goddess allow me to meet my second chance in such a state? Humiliating!

But whatever it might be, my fault or not, filthy or clean in his eyes, I wouldn't allow myself to marry this kind of man. Even if she were the last man in the world, I wouldn't.

"But don't worry. Just do what I said and follow all of my instructions, and I will marry you as you pleaded."

'Marry? That's funny,' I said in my mind. Did I really say that? Seeing this kind of man, I'd rather die instead of living with him. Marrying a man like him was a nightmare.

"You know what, don't think about it. I will not marry you."

"Elsie, no need for dramas. Just do what I said, and you will be good for me," he said arrogantly. He stood up and didn't wait for me to respond, went to the bathroom, and washed his body again.

Then after a few minutes, he came out of the bathroom, and timely, someone knocked on the door.

He went straight to it with a piece of bath towel on his waist. He opened it, and clothes were given to him. This must be the clothes he was telling me about.

He shut the door, threw the clothes on the bed, and told me, "Wear this, and don't take your clothes off easily for anyone."

Rude! Couldn't he just give me the clothes without saying anything?

I grabbed it, and it was a white shirt and jeans.

While he was putting his clothes on, he resumed talking, "I will ask my Beta to pick you up at your house on Monday morning, exactly 9 o'clock."

I was surprised to hear that from him. Then the faces of my family and friends flashed in my mind. If his Beta came, they would become curious about who he was and how I met him, and I wouldn't want it to happen. I didn't want them to know what I did last night.

"Huh? W—Why? You don't have to. We should no—"

He interrupted my words. "He will pick you up because you are going to attend my birthday party with me."

"Birthday party? I don't want to attend, and I don't need to. Go on your own," I refused.

What if my family discovered my ridiculous behavior? I didn't want any connection with him anymore; that would only make my life worse. I wanted to live in peace.

"I am not asking you, Elsie. I am telling you what to do," he said after he buttoned the lowest part of his polo, looking at me.

"Look, forget what happened last night, forget this day and forget me. We don't have to continue our communication after this. Let us end it here," I said, trying to look firm with my decision.

He went toward me, putting his finger on my chin, and lifted my face up. "I am commanding you to come with me to the birthday party on Monday at 9 in the morning. Wait for my Beta to come," he said, slowly lifting one of the corners of his lips.

I cleared my throat and removed my eyes from him then he turned his body on me, leaving.

"I'll see you. Don't worry, I already got your address." This was the last word he stated before he completely closed the door and left.

Those words put me in fear. Nobody should know what stupidity I did last night. It was such a shame.

I had to explain to him, I had to convince him that he should not do that. His Beta should not come.

I hurriedly put on the clothes he threw at me. I decided to chase him down in the hopes that he would listen to me.

But, when I came out of the room, he was already out of sight; I tried to find him in the hotel lobby, but he was not there either. Fucked!

'What am I going to do?' I thought to myself as I clenched my fist in fear.

Surely, my family would ask me who that guy was, and how I got connected to that Beta. This was not good at all.

I spent a little more time sitting on the couch in the hotel lobby, catching some air and gathering courage for what lay ahead. I, too, couldn't comprehend how unlucky I was.

After being rejected by my first mate, this second chance I met was equally ruthless, and I didn't want to be with him. Besides, he had already seen my embarrassment, and I knew he was ashamed of it.
