"I can't deal with your games anymore. Tell me the truth about Caroline," I asked.
To my surprise, Aiden's reaction was nothing like I expected. His face contorted with a cold, bitter laugh. 
"Oh, please. You think you're worth my time? You're just a nobody, and I'm not going to make our thing public. You're just a convenient little toy for me to use,"
I took a deep breath, mustering all the strength I had left, and decided to play it cool. I needed to catch him off guard and show him that I was not going to be just another pawn in his twisted games.
"Is that how you see me, Aiden? Just a damn toy? Well, I've had enough of your games,"
Aiden looked taken aback, clearly not expecting this reaction from me. I could see the anger and frustration in his eyes, but I refused to back down.
"I reject you as my mate, Aiden," I continued, my voice firm and resolute.

　　His arm tensed slightly, and I could feel him shift slightly in his seat. "Sure, I'm all ears." He said, his voice a little uncertain. "What is it?"


　　I took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "I'm having some doubts about whether our relationship is moving in the right direction." I said, feeling my heart race.


　　"Oh. Okay." He said, and his grip on me loosened. "Why don't you tell me more about that?


　　"Louisa called me and told me to meet her and when I did, she threatened me." I said.


　　"She told me you belong to her and that I should stay away from you." I told him.


　　Ian sat up straighter, his eyes widening in disbelief. "That's... not okay. I don't belong to anyone, and I certainly don't appreciate her threatening you. I'm going to have to talk to her about this." He said, sounding angry.


　　"I don't want you to get into any trouble because of me." I said, suddenly feeling worried.
