Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: More than just a kiss.

Leilani.

"I do not wish to rekindle any kind of relationship with Keisha." He drawled gravelly, his voice sounding like the sharp sound of metal scraping against sandpaper, and disbelievingly, I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, right!" I snorted sarcastically, ignoring the way his gaze lowered as if hurt by my words.

For the first time, I didn’t care that my words would sting. I didn’t care that his face was growing paler and paler with each passing second. I didn’t care about anything. I was just tired of being played with and looked down on like I was nothing more than a pretty face with sharp brains.

My eyes stung with tears, but they weren’t of pain. They were tears of anger... of betrayal... of hurt.

He sighed. "Leilani..."

My voice came out hoarse and cold as I stared into his eyes unflinchingly, ignoring the flutter in my chest as I drawled; "You see, the same way you tell me there’s nothing going on between you and Keisha and you expect me to believe, that’s how I’d tell you that I have nothing going on with the triplets and also want you to believe."

"But it’s not the same!" He growled, his face contorting in pain. "You cannot compare what I have with Keisha to what you have with them!"

"And what’s the difference?!" I screamed back, rising to my feet when he rose too.

I watched him rub his face in frustration. I didn’t miss the flush in his cheeks or the way his eyes had hardened so much, they now looked like frozen black water.

"What’s the difference between the two? You’re fated to her the same way I’m fated to them. They hurt me like she hurt you... I am still bonded to them the same way you’re still bonded to her, so why the fuck are you so pressed about my relationship with them but you want me to miraculously brush off what you have with her?!"

At my utterance, Jay sighed dejectedly, he closed his eyes, took a deep long breath and muttered; "I know that those bastards hurt you, but you cannot compare what they did to you to what Keisha did to me. And for that reason, there’s no way I’ll ever in my right senses go back to her!"

His words— I don’t know why he used them— but they made my chest ache even more. They made the betrayal I felt in my bones intensify. I seethed; "You know, that’s rich coming from you."

"Leilani.."

"It’s rich that you’ll now compare the different amounts of ’hurt’ we’ve gone through. That now you’ll try to brush off my feelings by comparing who was more betrayed by their mate than the other."

"You don’t understand..." he drawled but I quickly raised my hand, waving him off dismissively and blinking away the tears stinging my eyes.

"I don’t want to understand."

"No, you probably should." He answered relentlessly, "...you should probably know that— I’m sorry to say this— that while the triplets broke you by cheating on you with your sister, Keisha didn’t do that to me. She cheated, yes, but with a man I never knew."

"And what difference does that make?"

"The difference it makes is the fact that I would’ve taken her back if cheating was the only crime she committed!" He yelled so loudly, the veins at the sides of his neck popped.

His eyes flashed with something scary, something maniacal and I knew that I should back down now but I didn’t, instead, I walked over to him until we were standing chest to chest.

—Now, if I’m being sincere, it wasn’t chest to chest. It was face to chest. My face to his chest.

"And what is the other crime she committed?" I asked coldly, whilst folding my arms across my chest as I looked up to glare at him.

He sighed, his face completely crumpling. "She killed my sister."

And as soon as those words slipped past his lips, my breath hitched. I felt my chest tighten with an emotion I couldn’t name and a shuddering breath escaped my lips.
