Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 49 Caden Hurt

Finished

When I looked more closely, 1 realized it was Stella.

Caden yanked his arm away with a look of disdain, snapping, “Stella, why are you still hanging around? I told you I never wanted to see you again! Just leave already!”

“Caden, I beg you, don’t dismiss me,” Stella’s eyes reddened as tears cascaded down her cheeks like a shattered string of pearls. “Even if you make me cleanors, just don’t fire me. Let me stay at the company, near you….

Before Stella could finish her plea, Caden cut her off with irritation. “Didn’t I tell you to go? Do you not understand plain words? The Eclipse Pack has no place for someone who puts their selfish motives above the company’s well–being.”

“Caden, I was wrong. I admit it Stella sobbed desperately, tears pouring down her face, “I know I shouldn’t have done anything to hurt the company’s interests, but it was my overwhelming love for you that led me astray. Please, Caden, don’t cast me aside!

“You have no idea how deeply I care for you. I’d do absolutely anything, as long as I can stay by your side.

The sight made my skin crawl–how could Stella be this relentless?

Unable to hold back, I stepped forward and spoke up. “Stella, can’t you see that Caden doesn’t want to deal with you? Clinging to him like this is hardly admirable, don’t you think?”

“Rosaline! Why are you here?” Stella finally noticed me her eyes brimming with envy and spite.

I’m his fiancée. Don’t you think it’s perfectly natural for us to be together?” I replied, gripping Caden’s

arm.

Caden’s lips curled into a slight smile as he extended his other hand to clasp mine.

Ugh, the warmth of his touch sent a wave of heat rushing to my cheeks.

This was all just a performance to get rid of Stella–did he really need to make it so believable?

Stella shouted at me, her voice filled with fury. “If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have
