( CHLOE'S POV )
As I got to the venue of the ceremony, I sat down and waited for things to unfold. I hadn't sat for up to five minutes when I smelt an overpowering fragrance coming near me. I already knew what it was and that made me straighten my clothes and follow the fragrance.
The fragrance continued to lead me and I smelt the fragrance get thicker until I finally reached the origin of the smell. I stood and waited for my mate to appear. Right then, I was filled with anxiety.
Just then I saw a male figure appear. The figure was a known one and my heart began to beat louder with fear of what to expect.
Then, the drama unfold. I saw the male figure who was my mate. It was absolutely unbelievable for me.
Actually, it was Kimmy!
"You are my mate," I muttered slowly with unbelief still ridden in my voice.
"This whole thing is unbelievable and unacceptable. How can a dirty slut like you be my own mate?" Kimmy said with disgust written all over his face and voice.
I was still yet to recover from the shock of having Kimmy as a presumed mate when his words hit me like a thunderbolt. I couldn't accept a irrelevant person like Kimmy insult me and leave unscathed.
"Will you shut up? Why don't you have any shame at all? I am not a slut and you know it. You are the one who keeps sleeping around, you filthy animal," I said to Kimmy with all of my confidence.
"Did you just address me in that manner?" Kimmy asked carefully just as if he wishes to descend on me.
"Yes, I did so what do you wanna do? You can't possibly beat me up," I told him just as confidently as ever.
"Don't test my patience, Chloe. Just as you have confirmed, I am your mate and I still have all power to deal with you in whatever way I wish," Kimmy said with a smile edged on his face.
"Shut it now, you can't do anything to me!" I retorted in anger.
"Chloe, be careful. You are testing my patience right now," Kimmy replied with anger still audible in his voice.
"You wanted to manhandle me, didn't you? I want to watch you do it," I tested knowingly. "You also said I was testing your patience. Listen to me carefully, I am waiting for your patience to run thin so that I would see what sort of drama you would perform."
"I don't understand why my fated mate will be such an abusive and insultive animal like you are. It's so unfortunate for me, you know?" Kimmy said with frustration.
"Shut up your unbridled tongue! I don't know why my fated mate is an undisciplined Casanova like you are. Didn't you even come to me this morning to ask for s*x? I have showed you the difference between both of us by rejecting your proposal," I said with a smile shadowing my last sentence.
"Yeah. I know I am a Casanova and I am not ashamed of it. What about you tell me one thing you are good that?" Kimmy said with a weird grin.
"Well, I am good at rejecting uncultured people like you," I stated with my eyes having that special glint.
"Really? You think you are good at rejecting people? Okay, watch this?" Kimmy said. Now, I watched him with renewed interest. "I, Kimmy, hereby reject you, Chloe, as my mate. You are obviously not worthy of that position and this decision of mine would never be changed."
Immediately, my face creased up in a frown. I didn't actually want Kimmy as my mate but the rejection hurt me severally. The grand ceremony was once in a year and I was saddened by the fact that I had actually missed my bestowed mate. I would have been happier if I was the one who rejected Kimmy. Now, it was the other way round and it had got me feel pathetic. I knew I was going to get laughed at as Kimmy would spread the news that he rejected me.
"Darling Chloe..." Kimmy began. "... next time, think very well before you talk. You may be an expert in rejecting people but listen carefully, I have reached mastery in that subject. I trust you know that mastery is greater than expertise, right?"
〇 After Kimmy had said this, he let out a soft chuckle before leaving the place. I sighed slowly and buried my head in my hands. I could see the future humiliation overpower me. I started to deliberate on what to do next. I never knew I was so passionate about it until when I felt big droplets of tears began to ooze out of my eye lids. Surely, Kimmy had hurt me. He had toyed with my most tender emotions. I felt like going after him and smacking him in order to get some sense into his head. Actually, it was too late in time to save any situation.
With my head held low, I went outside the hall whilst trying my best to keep myself out of view of people. I almost got caught but I finally managed to wriggle myself out of the hall without being noticed by anybody. I knew Kimmy would have left as he also would have been shocked by the fact that we were fated mates. Perhaps, he was also looking for a serious relationship with his mate so as to stop his everyday affairs with different ladies.
I was still distraught by what happened to me that when I came outside fully, I got a bench to sit on and burst into tears unveiling my emotions as I was rejected.
Just then, I saw a male figure come near me. I didn't waste time in cleaning my face as I didn't want the person to find out that I was crying.
Soon, the shadow of the man was all over me.
"You are Chloe, right?" He asked carefully.
"Yes, I am."
"Okay, I am fully convinced that you are my mate. Can I still take that place?" He asked.
