Chasing His Rejected Luna Back

I should have known he would react this way - more concerned about not being informed earlier than showing any genuine concern for my well-being.

His assistant, Joe, tried to defend himself, explaining that Kieran had specifically told him not to report my personal matters.

I wasn't surprised by Kieran's behavior, to be honest. I had grown all too accustomed to his indifference towards me over the years. I couldn't help but recall the last time he had visited my mother, who was terminally ill with cancer.

It was his birthday and we all agreed to celebrate it at home. My mom had cooked all of his favorite meals, hoping to celebrate with him, but he didn’t even come on time. We waited for hours and when he eventually showed up, he left abruptly, taking a call from Nina, and never returned. Even the gifts she had gotten for him, he didn’t even bother to open them.

My poor mother had been absolutely devastated by Kieran's callous actions, but she had hidden her tears and sadness, not wanting to upset me further. I had felt so sorry for her, and had even considered breaking things off with Kieran then and there. But I had ultimately decided to stay, because I truly believed I had no one else.

Now, as I stood facing Kieran, I felt a whirlwind of emotions - sadness, anger, and a strange sense of relief. Sensing that he was losing me, Kieran suddenly panicked and promised to make amends. He even offered to marry me the very next day, but I swiftly refused.

“No, why are you talking about a wedding so suddenly? I thought you were forcing me to kneel down and beg your Nina?”

“I didn’t know that your mom was gone and I know it was her wish to see us married and for you to be finally happy,” Kieran explained.

In that moment, I realized just how exhausted I had become from years of being in this toxic relationship with him.

I had endured his infidelity, his emotional abuse, and his utter neglect, all the while clinging to the faint hope that he would somehow change. But the truth was, he had never made a single effort to be a better partner, a better friend, or even a decent human being.

As I looked into his eyes, I saw that he knew that he was on the verge of losing me, and he was willing to do whatever it took to prevent that from happening. But this time, I was done. I had reached the end of my rope, and I wasn't going to let him manipulate me anymore.

I took a deep breath, steadying myself, and then I spoke. "Kieran, I can't do this anymore. I've spent far too long trying to make this work, trying to be the person you want me to be. But I realize now that I'm not the one who needs to change. You are."

He opened his mouth, no doubt to try and sweet-talk his way out of this, but I held up my hand, cutting him short.

"No, let me finish. You've had so many chances, and you've squandered every single one of them. You've hurt me, you've hurt my mother, and you've made it clear time and time again that I'm not a priority in your life."

I was done being the weak, submissive girlfriend who let Kieran walk all over her. "I deserve better than this, Kieran. I deserve someone who will love me, who will support me, who will be there for me no matter what,”

“Stop with all these speeches,” he said with a deep sigh. “Just let me make it up to you,”

“Kieran, can you stop!. "I heard Nina’s voice suddenly. She looked so irritated that he was begging me.

“Don’t pay any attention to Selena's little outburst. She's just putting on a show, you know. Trying to manipulate you into feeling sorry for her."

I fhad to resist the urge to march over and slap that smug look right off her face.

"That's not true, Kieran," I said angrily. "I'm not trying to manipulate you or make you feel sorry for me. I'm honestly done with you and I’m leaving.”

With that I pulled my suitcase out of the house ignoring Kieran calling after me.
