King Kellen's Revenge (Book 1)

(Chapter 35)What Nonsense

Kellen

Looking at Maxwell, I felt a tremendous amount of anger towards him.

He had presented me with a contract, for me to marry his daughter and he would hand over all his shares in a company I was trying to get for so long.

"What nonsense is this?", I raised my voice at him

"Your highness, I am offering you my daughter and all my shares if you agree" Maxwell stated calmly, like it was the most logical thing to say.

"Maxwell, I am a married man, already!, I yelled

Looking at me, he said, "I know, but my daughter would be a better fit for you, don't you think?"

"Rayne is my wife, the lady I had brought here today, has that part seemed to slip your mind?", I questioned

Thinking back to the first time Maxwell saw Rayne at a dinner party, we both attended.

I knew he had his eyes on her then, because of the bet he wanted to place with me, when he found me staring at her, but after I had punched him and told him that she was my wife, he apologised.

I thought that was over then but it looks like he still wants to get his claws onto her.

Even when we arrived tonight here, I didn't miss the look in his eyes when he greeted her. I was about to say something but just in time, Rayne removed her hand from his, so I held myself back.

Now this bullshit....

Offering me his daughter so I can leave Rayne, haha, absolutely ridiculous, I thought.

Handing back the contract to Maxwell, I walked out his office to go and find Rayne. Stepping out, I bumped into someone, causing her to fall down.

Bending down to pick her up, she put her hands around my neck, pulling my head down and capturing my lips in her's, as she tried to kiss me.

Pulling myself back and pushing her away, I stood up straight and looked at her.

Seeing that it was Esmeralda, Maxwell's daughter, I was about to reprimand her but saw a hand going past me and slapping her cheek.

Turning to my right, I saw Rayne standing there, furiously looking at us.

"Rayne, baby, I can explain....", was all that I got to say before Rayne stopped me and said she wanted to go home now.

Not wanting to make a bigger spectacle here, I held Rayne's hand and walked with her outside to our car.

Once we got in, Rayne turned the other side, towards the window away from me.

Taking her hand, I tried to pull her to me but she pulled herself away immediately, going more further away from me.

Giving up for the moment, I sat back in my seat waiting to reach the palace, where I could speak to Rayne alone in our room.

Finally reaching the palace, Rayne opened the door and ran inside the palace, straight to our room, shutting the door behind her. Going in after her, I opened the door and went inside the room.

Looking around, for Rayne, I heard her inside her closet.

Opening the door and going inside, I saw her undressing into casual clothes.

Approaching her, I wrapped my hands around her and kissed her head before asking her to please give me a chance to explain what happened.

Stepping away from me, she looked at me before saying... M
