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.
