Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 910:

“We were never that close, and now I have a husband who gets quite jealous. I want to keep him happy every day. Your presence would only disturb him.”

Daniela looked at Alexander. “Nobody wants to see his face worn by another. My husband might be forgiving, but I’m not. I believe everything about my husband should be exclusive to him.”

Alexander felt a pang of pain at her words. He managed a weak smile. “Daniela, remember how you used to stand up for me? You made me unique gifts for my birthday, insisting they had to be one of a kind.” Now, those sentiments were being used to defend another man, and it saddened Alexander.

“But it’s okay. We have a long future ahead,” he said.

Daniela’s expression showed her growing impatience.

Alexander reached into his pocket and took out a bank transfer device. Daniela eyed it warily. “What’s this about?”

Alexander explained, “Daniela, perhaps you no longer care for me, but you’re still the only one in my heart. I won’t dwell on the past. I’m just asking for a place in your future. This device lets you access funds from Fairburne Group as needed. I know you’re being targeted by the association. I don’t know your current strategy, but money is always useful. It could help you execute whatever plans you have.”

Alexander was earnest, but Daniela remained composed.

“Alexander, I don’t need it.”

“Do you have to be so stubborn?”

Alexander frowned. “I get that you’re still upset with me, but let’s leave the past behind. Why jeopardize your business just to spite me? The association is seriously challenging you. This money could keep your operations going. If things really get bad, you could relocate your company overseas. Also, I spoke with Hackett before coming here. He’s agreed to give you a day to withdraw from the domestic market. He promised me, and he’ll keep his word. Daniela, consider this. You’ve achieved so much as a woman in this tough environment. Don’t aim too high. I’ve witnessed your efforts, and I acknowledge them. Can’t we leave it at that?”

Alexander’s words were heartfelt and emotional. “Daniela, please, come back to me. I’ll value you. Let’s start anew, shall we?”

Daniela remained silent, her only emotion being pure disgust. “Alexander, are you sure you’re confessing to the right person? I’m married. Are you seriously trying to pursue me? Do you enjoy being a home-wrecker?”

Alexander’s head jerked up, his eyes clouded with hurt beneath the brim of his hat.

“Besides, Alexander, you’ve never truly understood me,” Daniela added.

Stunned, Alexander protested, “That can’t be! Daniela, we’ve known each other for years. How could I possibly not understand you?”

“Do you honestly think you know me? I’m not the kind of person who dwells on the past—be it people or things. I married Cedric because I genuinely love him. Haven’t you ever wondered how I can always tell that you’re not Cedric?”

“Why?” Alexander asked, his gaze locked on hers.

“Because I love him. The first clue was a scar. Then, there was a habit of yours that didn’t match. And over time, even the smallest gesture of yours was enough for me to recognize that you weren’t Cedric.”

Alexander’s eyes went wide with shock. “A scar? Where is it? No way! The plastic surgeon made sure I was an exact replica of Cedric, down to the smallest detail!”

Daniela sighed, shaking her head. She had said plenty, yet he only clung to what suited him.
