Chapter 19: True colors of a fiancee
His next words caught her off guard, causing her to choke on her drink. He was about to offer her his handkerchief, but she had already taken one out and started using it to wipe the juice stain on her dress.
"I am sorry about that," Damien apologized, though he felt no remorse for what had happened to her. How dare they pair him with a woman who was already tainted? He couldn’t wait to confront the elders about it.
"It’s not your fault," she suddenly wore a pathetic look and continued, "I have tried dating a lot of men, but it always ends after one date, and they never call back." Damien almost bit his tongue at her revelation. If all her dates had failed, then was she still innocent?
He cursed his luck inwardly, lateness was not a sufficient reason to call off the marriage idea. He needed something stronger to end the marriage without leaving any loopholes.
"Same here," Damien said, pretending to sympathize with her while giving her an insincere look. They both shared the same predicament, but he wasn’t sure he knew anything about what women liked based on those dates. She must have been desperate for a husband, given how closely she paid attention to those dates.
"So, tell me about yourself," he almost yawned after asking.
"I’m twenty-five..." he interrupted her, saying, "I already know that. Tell me something I don’t know." Sarah was confused, unable to determine what he didn’t know, but she tried to think of something anyway.
"I am a ballerina, and I have won numerous awards. I cook for the needy occasionally. I volunteer for charity on weekends, and I love playing basketball," she narrated, feeling proud of her achievements, even though most of them weren’t personally accomplished.
Damien was already bored and just wanted to leave the café. However, he caught his Beta’s pleading gaze and decided to endure more of this torture. Going on dates felt like torture to him because it wasn’t something he desired.
"Great. What do you plan to do as my wife?" He asked.
"Alpha, a wife should obey all her husband’s commands and do everything he asks," she replied.
