Daisy’s POV
I haven’t been able to say a lot to Tristan since what happened between us. I didn’t think we would go that far, but now I’m finally starting to get interested in him. I thought I wouldn’t before, but he has my whole innocence, and he’s my mate. Not only did he do the right thing, but also at the right time. Even if he was heartbroken from being rejected by my cousin, it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m glad my cousin rejected him so that I can finally have him to myself.
Even if it takes a little while, I’m going to do whatever I can to make him mine. I suddenly got interested in him, but somehow, I feel like he’s trying to avoid me. I haven’t seen him well the last few days, and while we were catching the kidnapper earlier, he was trying to avoid my eyes all along. He still hasn’t given me an explanation, but I mean, everything will be right. He’s surely going to take responsibility and not abandon me after this, right?
I haven’t given myself to anyone, even though I’m very outgoing. I’ve been saving myself for the right one, and now I did it.
I finally found him standing somewhere, and I went to meet him. He didn’t notice I was there, probably because he was lost in thought, so I touched his shoulder. He turned around to look at me. I was smiling at him, but he wasn’t.
“Daisy… What can I do for you?”
“You know I’m straightforward, so I’m going to go straight to the point. Why have you been avoiding me?” I asked him in a very serious tone.
He looked at me with wide eyes while struggling to say something. It’s kind of cute of him to try and explain things, but I’m only trying to mess with him. I didn’t think he would take it seriously, though.
“I’ve not been avoiding you, Daisy. I just have a lot of things to think about. I promise you, I’m not running away from responsibility. I shouldn’t have made that mistake with you, and-”
“That wasn’t a mistake! That was my first time, and you better not call my first time a mistake anymore!” I warned him.
I hate how people always blame these things as mistakes every time they do something like this, but I didn’t expect him to say that to me. It was my first time, and it was supposed to be precious. How dare he say that it’s a mistake? It made me so angry that I didn’t want to talk to him at all.
“Daisy… I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. I’m not trying to ruin your first time. It’s just that I’m not the right person for you. Even though we are bonded together, I still have only one person in my heart, and it’s difficult for me to love you the way you want.”
Those words were enough to break my heart, but I didn’t. I was expecting this anyway. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m going to do whatever I can to win his love. I’m the one who should be in his heart now.
“You don’t have to tell me what to do. Even if we are not bonded together, I always get what I want. You can’t just take advantage of me and think that you will escape this. You better find a way to take responsibility for this, or I’m going to report you!” I threatened him and left in rage.
Even though I knew what I did was wrong, I still didn’t bother trying to go back and apologize to him. I’m not the one who should be apologizing in the first place. When I came to check on him, I found him drunk, and he was the one who initiated this. Now he’s acting like it’s my fault that he did all of this. He has to take responsibility for me. I’m not going to let him slip off my hands again. This time around, I am serious, and I want him to be mine.
The entire day, I didn’t come out of my room because this was the first time I was getting heartbroken by someone I was starting to get interested in. Even though I was so young, I tried to avoid complicated relationships because I didn’t want a situation like this. And now, he made me fall deeper into this kind of situation.
What am I supposed to do now?
I couldn’t tell Mia about this in case she felt like it was a betrayal from us.
Some hours later, in the evening, it was time for dinner. I wanted to go down, but I didn’t want to see him, so I refused to go. I stayed in my room even though I was angry. Then I heard a knock on my door. I went to open it, and I found him standing there with some food. I was about to close the door, but he blocked the way and came inside anyway.
“What the hell do you think you are doing in my room? You better get out now before I accuse you of assault!” I threatened him again.
Instead of getting out, he started setting the food on the table in my room, and it only made me angrier. Why is he acting like he cares about me after he said whatever happened between us was a mistake?
“Are you going to get out or not?” I asked him.
He stopped setting the table and moved closer to me.
“I’m sorry about what happened, Daisy. The only reason I’m rejecting you is because I don’t deserve you. After how I’ve been all over your cousin, how can I claim to love you after all of that?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I’m still in love with your cousin, and I don’t know when it will go away. I want to make a commitment and be responsible for you, but I also don’t want to hurt your feelings. You don’t deserve someone like me. That’s why I keep rejecting you.”
“I don’t care! Just accept me and see if you won’t forget her. I will make you fall in love with me. If you think I can’t, then try me. Take up the challenge!” I dared him.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Accept the challenge and see if I’m going to conquer you or not.”
There’s never been a person I wanted to conquer that I haven’t conquered. I am very confident in my skills, and I will make him fall in love with me.
