Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 6: Rejection

Astrid's POV

Killian turned his face away in shame when he heard my words. His hands trembled slightly as he reluctantly pulled the lilies away from my face, giving me the chance to breathe much better.

I remained silent as I covered my nose. My nose felt itchy because of the damn flowers that stirred up my allergies.

Killian suddenly scoffed after a moment of silence. "These flowers are not for you," he spoke angrily.

I slowly looked up at him through the corner of my eyes when I heard him speak. When he came here holding the flowers, I really thought it was meant for me.

"For whom was it then?" I asked him since I really thought that he had come all the way here to give me those flowers as his way of apologizing.

"For Giselle of course," Killian blurted out. "As you have said you have never received any gift from me. Did you really think I would give you a flower now?"

A bitter smile spread across my face when I heard his answer. It was foolish of me to expect that the flowers he was holding were meant for me.

Killian is right. I truly am delusional. Even though I know that he doesn't like me, I always hope that he will still care about me.

I hoped that he would learn to love me and forget about Giselle while we were married.

I hoped that he would be happy to find that I was pregnant with our baby.

I hoped that he would be present to comfort me at my grandmother's funeral.

In the end, I always get hurt because of my stupid expectations.

From now on, I will no longer hope for such things anymore. I will no longer be the foolish Astrid that I was.
