CHAPTER 61: I AM HIS SHOW DOG

"This is Olivia." Sebastine smiled, as he placed his hand against my back, he leaned in toward me as the people smiled at us in a very creepy way. "She is breathtaking isn’t she?"

"You are one lucky man, I always knew you would end up with a beautiful woman, it’s in your blood, everyone in your family ends up with someone as beautiful as your mother." The older woman said.

I met his parents once, I never thought it was weird because Natalie was there but now that I think about it, at that moment my mind was too focused on Luca to even realise that he introduced me as someone important to them.

"She is an Omega," Sebastine added and they awned, what is great about that? I am weak.

I gave them a fake smile.

"If you would excuse me for a moment." I breathed out babe I pulled away and I headed to Natalie who had a glass of wine in her hand, she looked like she had taken quite a few.

"It’s you." She smiled. "How is it going with lover boy over there.

"Did you know about any of this?" I asked. "You did right." I whispered

"About what?" She smiled and I rolled my eyes at her, This is not the time to play with me, All I wanted was an answer from her, and I needed one fast because it seemed like he was starting to look for me.

"He likes you and there is nothing wrong with that, look the way I see it, he is a beta, he can protect you, he is wealthy and not only that, he wants to love you and keep you to himself, come on, how many wolves do you know that can find love even after being mated to someone else." She asked and I rolled my eyes at her. "He is perfect and I know him. He will take care of you."

"You met him a month ago." I breathed out, I barely even know him at least with Natalie, I live with her, I know her better than I know anyone else, maybe even my sister Aria because I see what she does, she never hides from me.

But Sebastine, he doesn’t even know me that well.

"He is heading toward us, he is just excited to have you introduced to everyone one and there is nothing wrong with that." She smiled and I rolled my eyes at her

There is something wrong with that

He inched close to me and he placed his hand on my back, it’s like he changed form the moment Luca came back, now all of a sudden there is this feeling inside of him that he wanted to show the world.

"My parents want to meet you." He smiled and I only nodded like a fool, like I had no control over my body.

I didn’t want to hurt his feelings or embarrass him in the eyes of everyone who respected him.

"Is this Olivia, God she looks even better than when I saw her, you must be taking care of her.’ His mom gushed with happiness, Can she see that I don’t care about being with her son and all I want to do is just get it over with.

"Nice to meet you again Rose." I smiled and she hugged me, her perfume filled my nostrils as she pulled away and her husband gave me a nod, he didn’t speak much, unlike his son who always wanted to have a conversation.

"What’s wrong?" Sebastine asked

"Just a bit exhausted."

"You need to get her some food, are you pregnant dear because if you are, you need to sit down and not stand and you have to eat."

"Mom she is not, we are waiting till marriage." He said and my eyes widened in shock, did I miss a class that I didn’t know that, maybe he is referring to someone else, what is going on?

We have been friends and nothing else and now it seems like we have been in a relationship for a long time and I didn’t even know that we are nearing marriage, he did but I didn’t.

I only smiled waiting for them to leave before I turned to look at him.

"What is going on, I have had enough of all of this and all I what to do is go home, what were you thinking talking about marriage like that?" I asked when he turned around to see if anyone heard or saw me yelling.

I don’t care what they think, he pulled me toward the other side, where it didn’t many people.

"What the hell Sebastian? What is your mother even talking about, you go around showing me off when you know that we can be nothing but friends, what the fuck is going on?" I yelled again when he tried to move closer to me and I pushed him away

I have never felt this annoyed before, all I wanted was to get this over with and maybe never have any type of conversation with him.

"I am sorry I should have checked in with you but they all thought we are in a relationship especially my mother and I didn’t want to hurt her feeling, I just wanted you to play along for a couple of hours, I will have everything checked out the moment this party is over, I just wanted to make her happy this once".

He reminded me of Conrad, I didn’t trust him because I knew my ex-husband and how much he used his words to twist my mind yet never again, could I let this happen again.

"I am leaving in an hour, I am only doing this because I know about your mom’s heart problems and I can’t let that happen to her again." I breathed out. "When I leave I need you to tell her that we are not going to happen; and you lied to her," I whispered and he nodded.

"I didn’t mean to hurt you, I would never do that, I just thought it would be fun to try it." He stated and I rolled my eyes at him.

He can’t behave like he is the victim here, he is not the one being dragged as a show dog all day.

I glanced at him before we headed out of the place and I headed toward Natalie, who was dancing with another man, she didn’t seem to see me and Sebastine glanced at me, before he pulled his hand out in the air.

Fuck.

Maybe I don’t always have to be a good person, maybe all I need to do is tell everyone to leave me alone, maybe I should not even be here.

"Will I ever win you over Olivia?" He asked and I looked away from him.

"I want us to be friends because you are a good person Seb but we can’t be more than you are asking, it’s hard for me to give you what you are asking, you don’t understand my life and my heart can’t belong to you." I breathed out.

I can never reject Luca, even if I stopped loving him, I would always care for him.

"It’s always going to be him right, no matter what he does to you, no matter how much pain he causes you, you are willing to let go of everything just to be with him." He asked and I smiled.

"I don’t know, what I know is that, he is willing to do anything to be with me, he is willing to go through pain if it makes me happy and I wish we had met at a better time, I wish it was not like this but it is." I breathed out

I didn’t think I would ever like him even if I didn’t have Luca, once the dance was over, I headed toward the other side to speak to Natalie, I don’t want to leave alone, maybe she can pretend to be sick, she has been drinking so anyone would believe that.

"Hey, it’s you again." She smiled, and she reeked of alcohol when I patted my hand on her body.

"What are you doing, you need to get a hold of yourself."

"You need to let loose, you need to have fun, look at them, I am having fun, I don’t care about my ex and you should not care about Luca or Conrad." She smiled and my breath hitches.

Conrad.

Did I ever tell her about him?

I didn’t, I never mentioned them, I never let them know and even Luca I didn’t tell anyone about his name because I didn’t think they needed to know and I know I never mentioned being with Conrad only Luca.

"What? Go have fun." She smiled and she pulled away from me.

I am certain I never told her about Conrad.
