The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 13″ Belongs to you

Aaron’s heart shattered to a thousand pieces. Not because of the words Tessa said but because of the pure hatred that she directed towards him.

His chest felt stuffy and suddenly, he didn’t want to go back anymore. Perhaps he should follow her until she softens up towards him.

This was the only chance for him to talk to her. Aaron had a feeling he wouldn’t get another chance.

He glanced at the flowers and gift bag before looking back into Tessa’s frosty eyes.

“I can’t give these to anyone else but you, Tessa. I’ve never gotten flowers for anyone before.”

‘Tessa rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. She wanted to go to her office after he left because she didn’t want him to follow her and know where she works.

“I wasn’t born yesterday, Mr Wentworth. What are you trying to pull?”

Aaron ignored her harsh tone and took a step forward. “I’m serious, Tessa. When you left me, I felt lost. I realised I loved you. I realised I didn’t appreciate you when you were my world all along. I swear, I never stopped looking for you. I always told myself that if I find you, if you could give me another chance, I would love you better. I would treat you better than I did. Just like you deserve. I’m sorry… please, give me a chance to explain things to you. I will make it up to you, I promise.”

He had gone all out with telling her how he felt. She was being guarded so the only thing he could do is declare his love for her over and over again.

On the other hand, Tessa was taken aback by his words. A strange feeling stirred in her heart and she hated it!

After what he had done to her, she never wanted to entertain any other man. Having loved someone so much and not being loved back. She wouldn’t take that risk of opening her heart up to someone else. She was too afraid of feeling the pain she once felt. The pain that made her vulnerable. She never wanted to feel like a fool again!

To Tessa, love was like a deadly poison that ate at your soul until it completely devoured you. Love was painful. It was better to not feel anything. This was the point that she had reached. She felt empty.

Anger rippled through her chest when she thought about how Aaron was married and still claiming to love her.

‘Does he really think I’m that stupid? What, now he wants me to be a substitute for his wife?”

Hatred brewed within her as she glared at him.

“Can you please not utter such words to me ever again? I don’t think Mrs Wentworth would like it if she knew you were professing your so-called love to someone else.”

Aaron frowned at her words. ‘Married? Since when did I get married?”

“Whatever do you mean. T,” he remarked, the use of the nickname he used to call her by made Tessa’s stomach knot. He continued. “There’s never been a Mrs Wentworth because that name belongs to you.”

Tessa’s eyes widened at his explanation. ‘He didn’t get married? Why did they tell the reporters they would get

Her eyes trailed to his left hand and Aaron followed her gaze. Seeing the ring on his finger, a lightbulb went off in his head and he quickly explained.
