Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 358 Heartbreak

?Getting Joanna to leave alone proved difficult. She had to resort to coaxing and encouraging her more before Joanna left.

After watching Joanna walk away Audrey returned to the club.

Kyle feeding one of the ladies wine from his mouth abruptly pulled away when he perceived a familiar scent close by.

"Did she forget something here?" He muttered and started searching the crowd for the lady whose scent he couldn't ignore.

As she made her way back to the apartment Joanna called Amos' line as Audrey suggested but unfortunately, his line wasn't going through.

Joanna was on the verge of losing her mind when she got to the apartment and realised that Amos and Amelia weren't there.

She went to a few places she suspected they would be but her efforts weren't fruitful once again.

"I desperately need a cool place to stay and calm myself. I am scared I will lose my mind if I keep this up," Joanna squatting in the middle of nowhere muttered and slowly stood up.

As she strolled, she thought of places suitable for restoring one's peace of mind. And after a lot of thinking only one place popped into her head.

Some minutes later a lady in a white dress was seen navigating her way through the dark forest in heels.

Since she knew this route like the back of her hand she wasn't scared about missing her way.

She ignored all the hoots, gnaws and squeaks around and forged ahead.

Getting close to her destination, Joanna was astounded to hear voices in the bush.

At first, she thought the voices were parts of her imagination but she gave up on this possibility when the voices became a bit loud when she got closer to where she was going.

Raising her head to behold the beauty of the flower garden Kayden created for her, what Joanna saw made her eyes bulge out of their sockets.

Her legs suddenly went weak seeing the two figures in the dark about to kiss.

Thank goodness to the moon penetrating through the dark forest, she was able to see the faces of those in the dark.

Seeing their mouths about to join, tears streamed down Joanna's beautiful face. Quickly she covered her mouth to prevent a sound from coming out.

She turned and was about to leave without making a sound. Because of her frantic movements coupled with the darkness, she stepped on a dry branch.

CRACK!

The broken branch made the two people turn and gaze in the direction the noise came from.

"Oops… we are caught," Amelia exclaimed, not sounding remorseful at all.

"Joan?" Amos called. He brushed off Amelia's hands and tried to approach where the figure in white stood but Joanna took to her heels.

"Joan…,"

"Don't go. Stay with…," Amos violently flung her hand clutching his shirt.

"Was this your intention from the start?" Amos demanded fiercely.

"How could you do this…,"

A loud thud that got animals scrambling in the dark made Amos turn and look in the direction the noise came from.

"Joan…," Amos called. He disappeared from there in an instant.

Amos didn't have to search for Joanna because her sweet scenting blood lured him to her.

"Joanna, wait up. You are bleeding," He said and grabbed her hand but the furious lady flung his hand away.

"Don't touch me," She shouted and resumed running again.

Seeing her wounds and the tears in her eyes broke his heart. He wanted to explain what happened but Joanna refused to give him that opportunity.

She kept on racing in the dark forest. She didn't care whether she fell or had lost her shoes, she just kept on running like someone who was on drugs.

Joanna ran until she successfully got out of the forest. Even at that she still wanted to run again but Amos grabbed her.

He refused to let go despite her screams and struggles.

He must explain things before it's too late.

"Joan, what you saw wasn't what it looked like. Amelia and I weren't trying to kiss like you must have assumed…,"

"Liar," She shouted and struggled to break free from his firm hold.

"And why would I lie about that…,"

"I bet you are lying because you have fallen for her charms. Her seduction has worked on you," She accused amidst her sobs.

"Do you think I would easily fall in love with another woman when I am madly in love with you?" He demanded. His grip on her hand loosened.

"Is that how shallow you have always thought my love is?" He let go of her hand and moved backwards.

Joanna was a bit taken aback by his reaction but she soon got over it.

"You are the one caught trying to kiss her so stop trying to play the victim because only I have the right to feel this way," Joanna said firmly.

"You are the one who always followed me everywhere confessing how much you loved me. You never got tired of whispering those words into my ears but everything changed after she showed up," She mumbled.

Despite wiping her tears they kept falling against her will.

She wanted to stop crying so she wouldn't look too pathetic but her bleeding heart wouldn't listen to what she wanted.

"At first I thought following and paying attention to her was only a temporary thing caused by infatuation but hell no. Your care for her became worst that you no longer have time for me…,"

"Joan, it's…,"

"I never complained or confronted you despite all my grievances. I swallowed all the pain thinking that maybe this was a trial of our love but what you did is something I would never tolerate," said Joanna as she wiped her tears once again.

"That place was your birthday and engagement gift to me. It was a place solely for us and not a place you should bring another woman to. I will never take that…,"

"But I wasn't the one who brought her there…,"

"How is that even possible when we are the only ones who know about it?" Joanna shouted at the top of her lungs.

Joanna took a deep breath and tried to stop the tears from falling but they kept flowing.

She wanted to confess her love to him. Never had she expected that she would bump into the scene she met earlier.

And that is why her poor heart could not handle the pain.
