Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 62

~Helen’s POV

Envy and rage burned through me as I watched Lucas stealing glances at Olivia. It was like he couldn't stop himself from looking at her. She sat there all coy, as though she didn't notice and I hated her even more for that. I would give anything to have him looking at me that way. Logan and Lucien were also sitting next to her, smiling. 

My fists clenched in anger as I thought of Trina and the stupid mistake she had made during my birthday. I couldn't help but curse her since she hadn't returned to school yet. I checked my phone to see whether she had responded to my messages, but she hadn't. 

Stupid bitch. If it wasn't for her, Olivia wouldn't even be here right now.

I became even more enraged when I noticed Lucas's hand was missing the identical ring they had given me. I instantly looked back to examine Logan and Lucien's hands, which were also bare of their rings. 

My heart broke and I couldn't bring myself to confront Lucas and ask why he wasn't wearing the ring. I realized with no small amount of horror that the burning in my eyes was due to the tears welling up. I dug my nails into my palm and hurriedly blinked the tears away.

Absolutely no crying, Helen. Remember what Daddy said. Tears are only for the weak and powerless. You are not any of that.

“Olivia was probably the main reason they weren't putting the rings on,” I muttered to myself.

I cursed her inwardly, thinking she had told them not to use the rings. Just then, Trina entered the classroom quietly, followed by Josh, who proclaimed her arrival to everyone.

"How can you come back to the school after your shameful and deceitful act?" He inquired as everyone turned to face them. 

"I'm here to apologize to the whole class, Josh." To everyone, particularly Olivia." Trina expressed her regret.

"Better." As he walked over to his seat, Josh said.

Everyone began mumbling and gossiping about her, pointing their hands at her and calling her various names. 

I was overjoyed to see Trina, and then I returned my gaze to Olivia, who was staring at Trina.

Olivia, I'm going to crush you shortly.

I returned my attention to Trina and watched as she bowed to apologize to everyone. 

"I realize I was wrong to steal my friend's belongings and frame someone else for it. Please forgive me for what I've done, and Olivia, please accept my apologies for attempting to frame you. This will never happen again and I’m also grateful to everyone for not reporting the incident to the school authorities." She said.

Everyone returned their attention to Olivia, expecting her to say something because she was the one who had been framed. I also turned to look at her. But, Logan stood up in her stead. 

"Your apology has been accepted, Trina, and I'm sure Olivia no longer holds anything against you now that you've apologized to her." I hope you don't try this again since I and the rest of the class won't be able to forgive you by then." He said and sat back. 

Everyone agreed with him, and we all welcomed Trina back. I promptly messaged her to meet me on the rooftop during our lunch break. She acknowledged my message. I felt relieved and a little joyful because I would soon get back at Olivia. I'll make sure the triplets despise her and avoid her at all costs. Mr Scott then entered the classroom and took the class attendance. Logan and Lucien returned to their seats as the lesson began. Mr Scott ended his class, and the school announced Alpha Damon's arrival. 

Everyone rushed out to welcome him and his entourage. Skyle was with him, and the triplets joined them to commission the new school buildings. We all took pictures with them, and the commissioning process was completed. Alpha Damon returned to the palace, and we all returned to class. 

The bell rang and it was time for lunch. Logan asked Olivia to join us to grab our lunch at the cafeteria. As I wouldn’t be able to stand the sight of them showering her with care and attention plus I had to meet Trina on the rooftop, I excused myself by telling them that I still have something important to attend to in class. They only nodded and told me to wrap whatever I wanted to do up quickly and come to the cafeteria to eat. 

I watched as they all left the classroom and I felt like strangling Olivia. If it was before she came into the picture, the triplets would have asked me to eat before attending to the important thing I wanted to do or they would even volunteer to help or stay with me till I finished. I grabbed my phone and went to the rooftop. Trina was already waiting for me sitting on the bench, and immediately she saw me coming walking towards her, she took to her knees asking for my forgiveness.

I smiled at her coldly, “Had you not come to school to apologize, I would have reported you to my father and I’m sure you know what that means. But I have forgiven and now that you are back, we need to plan how to get back at Liv for disgracing you and also for trying to take the triplets away from me.” I said.

“And this time around, I want a perfect job, Trina. There shouldn’t be any mistake and you must not be caught.” I added.
