Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0507

I can hear the pleasantries of Hector introducing my parents to their other guests, Jace's mate's parents.

I don't think I will be able to look them in the eyes knowing I am carrying their daughter's future betrayal. "Do you need help in the kitchen?" I offer out to Kaia, anything to prevent stepping into that room. "No thank you dear, it's all set."

I feel her hand gently place upon my lower back as she walks me into the sitting room, where..and thank the goddess for her... Josie leaps up and pulls me into her arms.

She is wearing her signature silver silk dress that highlights her figure. The contrast in the dress' colour to her hair, only makes her luscious free-flowing locks look even more redder. "I've missed you." Her words almost coo into my ear before she pulls away and also takes me in.

"I missed you too." I respond meaning every word. Josie along with Maya were my ride or die. I want to tell her everything, share everything with her.

But I can't, I'd be putting her in the middle and she'll always choose Jace...as she should.

They were each other's worlds from the moment they were conceived.

I just hope, if she ever finds out the truth that one day she will forgive me for keeping it from her.

"Damn girl, you're coming into your own." Her eyes linger at my cleavage, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Don't...you sound like Maya."

"Yes, I've not heard about this girl trip yet. Both of you have been rather MIA since then."
