The Pretender and The Prince novel Chapter 44

Seth was constantly busy, leaving early in the morning and returning late at night. During the day, Ondine hardly saw him at all.

The villa was a short drive from Lustrous Medical Center, so she spent half of each day with her mother and the other half working on her graduation thesis.

Lately, her phone had been blowing up with texts and calls from unknown numbers. It was Ellis, using other people’s phones.

[Ondine, why did you block me?]

[You know everything, don’t you?]

[I’m so sorry, baby, I was wrong. Please give me a chance to make it up to you. Don’t ignore me.]

[Baby, I know I lied about being poor, but my feelings for you are real. Can you please give me one more chance?]

[Just talk to me, please? I’m going crazy.]

[I’m begging you. Just talk to me.]

[Ondine, you can’t just write me off like this. Please, I’ll do anything you ask. I’ll spend money on you, I’ll marry you, just please, please talk to me.]

[Ondine, it’s snowing. I miss you so much.]

[Ondine, where are you?]

[I just found out my mom came to see you. Don’t listen to her nonsense. You’re the one I love. I’m not marrying Chantal. I only want to marry you.]

[Ondine, I dreamed of you again last night. When I woke up and realized it was just a dream, I felt my heart break for the first time.]

[Ondine, we were together for over two years. How can you be so cruel as to just cut me off?]

Ondine blocked each number as it came in.

Finally, fed up with Ellis’s relentless persistence, she changed her number.
