Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: More Important

Louis' POV

Anita stormed in angrily, her gaze flicking between my brothers and me before landing on Olivia, who still looked unconscious.

"So, because of this bitch, you refuse to come see me?" she spat in anger, and my frown deepened.

"Anita, you should be in bed resting," Levi said.

Anita scoffed bitterly, her glare shifting to him. "And you three should be by my side, not by hers. I'm the one who just had a miscarriage. I lost your babies because of her, and instead of staying with me, you're here with her?" Her voice cracked with anger.

My wolf growled angrily inside me. "Can't you see Olivia almost lost her life—"

"Is her life more important than the ones I just lost?" Anita said disrespectfully, and my frown deepened.

Lennox, who had been silent since she walked in, moved closer to her. His jaw clenched as he stared down at Anita, his arms still folded across his chest. His voice was low and calm, but there was a dangerous edge to it.

"Why did you allow yourself to get pregnant in the first place?" he asked, his tone cold but filled with anger.

Anita's eyes widened, and she looked at him as if he had just slapped her. "W-What?"

"You lied to us, Anita," Lennox continued, his gaze hardening. "You knew we always wanted to use protection, but you insisted it was your safe period. You deliberately deceived us just so you could get pregnant."

Anita's face flushed with a mix of anger and shame, and she scoffed, turning away. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play dumb," Levi snapped, his eyes narrowing. "We trusted you. You wanted to trap us, didn't you? Did you ask us if we were ready to have kids?"

Anita glared at Levi, her lips trembling. "I just wanted to give you something—someone—to bind us together."

I couldn't help the growl that rumbled from my chest. "So, you thought manipulating us into fatherhood was the way to do it?" I snarled, taking a step closer. "You didn't care about our choice or what we wanted—you just wanted to secure your place in our lives."

Anita's face fell with guilt. "You all act like I'm some villain! I just wanted to be important to you three!"

"You wanted to force us into fatherhood," Lennox cut in harshly. "And you thought using pregnancy as leverage would work. But you lied and betrayed us, Anita. You put your selfish desires above everything else."

Her shoulders trembled, and for a moment, I thought she might break down. Instead, she sneered at Olivia, who was still lying weakly on the bed, her eyes barely open.

"I still lost my babies because of her," Anita hissed. "And I'll never forgive her for that."

Levi stepped forward, his tone deadly calm. "We are not sure about that yet."

Anita's mouth opened and closed as if searching for a comeback, but she had none. With one last hateful glare at Olivia, she spun on her heel and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Silence settled over us, and I let out a slow, frustrated breath. Lennox rubbed his temples, looking just as drained as I felt. Levi approached Olivia and stood close to her, his eyes softening.

For several minutes, we didn't say a word; we just kept staring at her, each of us lost in our own thoughts.

Levi reached out and brushed Olivia's hair away from her face, his touch surprisingly gentle despite how much I thought he hated her.
