+25 BONUS Chapter 0054 Davids statements during his press conference were only the beginning .
He really wasnt prepared to accept that our relationship was over .
I couldnt believe that he truly thought he would ever be able to win me back after that , but he seemed determined .
The same night as the press conference , a delivery of roses was made to the house .
When I learned that they were from David , I refused to accept them , and the delivery man had to leave with the flowers .
More flowers came , along with other gifts .
I refused them all and demanded that they be sent back to the person who ordered them .
I wasnt sure if they really ended up going to David or if he was just informed that the delivery had been refused , but either way , I felt it would only be a matter of time until he got the point .
Apparently , that was foolish of me because after a week of refusing his gifts , letters started to arrive .
Without opening any of them , I used a red pen to write Return to Sender across the front of each envelope , then put them back in the mailbox .
David would have to get the point eventually and stop trying to contact me or at least thats what I wanted to believe .
I knew that he couldnt afford to keep this up for long .
Eventually , he would have to accept the fact that he was never going to win me back and move on with his life .
When he did , then I would be able to move on with mine and begin fulfilling my part of the deal with Alexander .
We both agreed that as long as things with David were still so scandalous and such a topic of public discussion , it would be a bad idea for the two of us to begin seeing one another or to announce our relationship .
Due to Alexanders past with women , we both wanted to make it clear that our relationship was different .
After all , it wouldnt be long before we were announcing an engagement , and we needed people to see that it was legitimate and not something that was being rushed into .
The campaign for alpha king had not truly begun , so we had plenty of time to play the long game .
But none of that could commence until David gave up his foolish attempts to win me back .

So he shouldnt have had anything to worry about .
But if another man wasnt to blame for Ellas sudden change in behavior , then what was ? She would have forgiven him in the past , even for something like this .
All he would have had to do was apologize with tears in his eyes and offer her a token of affection , and she would have crumbled .
But now she was taking his apologies and throwing them back in his face as if they meant nothing to her , as if David meant nothing to her .
But that just couldnt be true .
