Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 317

she was so gry 

If she were a cartoon figure, there’d be smoke coming out of her ears right now. 

“You jeak!” She shoved him back. “How can you do this to me? You planned all this, didn’t you?” 

She stabbed a trembling finger at his chest. ‘Last night in bed, and the shopping this morning. You did all that because you wanted to provoke Gideon You wanted him to know what we did last night, right? 

Austyn shrugged. “You’re my wife. I just exercised my conjugal rights.” 

‘But you lied to me!” 

“I didn’t. If you recall, I didn’t say anything! 

1- Kira was stumped for a second. “You tricked me! You used me!‘ 

To think that she was so happy this morning when he brought her to the mall. 

She even thought it was a date. 

But it was all just part of his devious plan to get one up on Gideon. 

“You must be laughing at me behind my back. Kira’s lips quivered. “Here I was, happy as a clan, glad to be going on a date with my husband, who took time out of his busy schedule. I let you pull the wool over my eyes. You must think I’m such an idiot…‘ 

“I don’t!‘ Austyn put both hands on her shoulders and forced her to look up at him. ‘I don’t think you’re an idiot. But I do think you’re too soft–hearted to make a clean break with Gideon. You’re not ruthless enough, cruel enough. So I’ll have to do it for you! 

“Bullshit!” 

Austyn refused to let her look away. ‘I’m just helping you. And helping him realise the fact that you are my wife now. It’s ov 

“I didn’t need your help!! 

“You did. Without me, you’d still be spending time with Gideon, giving him false hope.” 

over between you two.” 

‘I wouldn’t! I would’ve told him it’s over between us! I did tell him that! Without your help!” 

‘Then we both want the same thing. What I did just helped to move things along. Why are you mad?‘ 

Kira’s chest beaved. “Why don’t you get it? I’m not mad at you because you tried to make a statement to Gideon. I’m mad at you because you used me!! She stomped her feet, cutting her soles on gravel. I’m mad at you because I thought you took me to the mall on a date, but you just used me as a pawn in your stupid game!” 

She pried his hand off her arm. ‘Everything you’ve done since last night has been planned meticulously. Having sex with me, buying me pretty things, getting me dolled up. All that, because you want to warn off Gideon. I was so stupid for thinking you did all that for me!! 

He didn’t trust her when she said nothing happened between her and Liam 

He didn’t trust her when she said she would make a clean break with Gideon 

He never really had any faith in her, 

He just went ahead with his own plans, with no regard whatsoever for her feelings. 

He was so arrogant, so distrustful, Kira started to think about what Gideon sald–what did she ever see in Austyn? 

Kira stood there with her arms akimbo, bearing the heat that was scorching her feet, and waited. 

Waited for an apology from the man. 

She’d made clear her reason for getting mad at him. 

He had to see he was in the wrong, right? 

But Austyn just looked at her with that impassive face. 

His eyes were hooded by his long lashes. 

As usual, it was hard to tell what he was thinking. 

He stood there silently, stoically, unapologetically. 

Kiraced the seconds in her head 

She would give him five–no, ten–seconds to apologise. 

Wasn’t he supposed to be super smart?
