The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 55: Let’s Lunch

Elizabeth’s POV

Cody took my hands in his. His huge hands enveloped mine. I could feel the callouses on his palms from labour. I traced them with my fingertips.

“I’m sorry for not fighting harder for you, Lizzie, and for staying away all these years. I was so stupid and I was heartbroken when I saw you in your wedding dress knowing you wouldn’t be coming down the aisle towards me,” said Cody, leaning towards me.

I bit my lip.

“Oh, Cody,” I said, brushing my nose against his as I leant in. He withdrew a little and my face faltered. My heart stung at this simple little motion from him. I was very fragile right now.

“When you got in touch with me after all these years, I made up my mind to be fully honest with you. You deserve that,” he said, looking down at our entwined fingers.

I took a deep breath feeling a panic rising within me.

“The day of your wedding I was waiting for you like we’d said outside my cottage watching the main house in the distance, scared you weren’t coming. Malachi’s Dad came to me,” Cody began.

I gasped and anger welled up inside of me. That old creep.

“He offered me a huge sum of money to get lost essentially and I refused. No amount of money was worth more to me than being with you. He told me I was a fool, that you didn’t feel the same, that you wouldn’t miss out on your inheritance for the likes of me,” Cody explained, meeting my eyes.

I felt a pang of guilt. I kept silent, listening intently. Cody sighed.

“Malachi’s Dad, he said you weren’t coming and I should go see for myself how you were all dolled up for your wedding to his son, the Alpha. He said to go look before I turned him down. I told him to ‘f**k off’ and he just laughed,” I said.

I was shocked Cody had told a former alpha that and over me.

“But I did go look. I had to. It was getting late and you weren’t there yet. I climbed into your bedroom window and I saw you, the most beautiful bride ever, only not my bride,” Cody said.

I fought back tears listening to him.

Berryndale Ladies’ Luncheon. Malachi’s Dad had never wanted me for his son for this precise reason. I did not belong in high society. Elizabeth would be there and she would be in her element. I knew she would never embarrass herself in front of her classy friends by trying to brawl with me as she’d done before so at least that was one less thing to worry about. I fidgeted with my outfit.
