Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Not what you think.

Zevran.

I tapped my feet against the floor, my heart racing dramatically in my chest as I stared pointedly at the door.

It’s been over two hours since I sent for Chalice and up until now, she was nowhere to be seen. And goddess, I was fuming.

I was irritated and didn’t know what to think.

Enraged, I turned to Kael and seethed; "Can you imagine your ’so innocent’ fiancée? I found out she lied against Leilani yesterday and she wouldn’t even show her face now?"

But upon remembering that he probably shouldn’t be facing any form of stress at this point in time, I sighed and glanced away from him, muttering; "sorry," under my breath.

My chest felt tight. Tight because I was so frustrated and confused. Tight because I needed someone to talk to... tight because if it was left to just me, something as minor as this could’ve been more than enough reason to break off the engagement with Chalice.

But I wasn’t the only one involved here... my two other brothers were, and then there was Caelum who was so obsessed with her.

"Zevran...!" A feminine voice suddenly called out to me and I raised my head just then to look towards the door, my nostrils flaring when I saw Chalice standing there with a look of pure confusion on her flushed face.

Despite the weather, she was dressed in a simple pink dress that showed more cleavage than Kim Kardashian dresses on a normal day. On her lips was a bold red lipstick, and while her eyes were glazed, and her face was contorted into a sad expression, I didn’t miss the glow on her skin and the weird bounce in her steps and she waltzed into the room.

She glanced at Kael once— without going to him— and turned to me, her voice soft as she asked; "You sent for me? Is anything the matter?"

The way she spoke so innocently made my blood boil in my veins, and do you know what was worse?

When she batted her fucking lashes at me.

As if saying; "Oh look at poor innocent me!"

My eyes thinned into slits as I glared down at her and in a voice that was both cold and low, I asked; "I sent for you over two hours ago, where have you been?"

"I went to the spa." She answered airily, causing my rage to boil over even more.

There was something about her that I didn’t like... something about her that I couldn’t stand anymore. It was disgusting to even think that while Kael was on that bed fighting for his life, she, his fiancée, was busy whiling away time by spending it in spas and beauty salons.

I gritted my teeth in contempt, holding myself from saying mean things to her, and goddess, that was a lot of work. It took everything in me not to talk down on her. Not to call off the engagement right then and there even though that sort of decision wasn’t up to only me.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt warm fingers gliding over the skin of my arm and I glanced down just in time to find her looking at me with a soft smile— one that would’ve been fooled with if I didn’t know any better. She muttered; "You seem tense."

Unceremoniously, I shrugged her hands off my body and folded my hands across my chest, whilst ignoring the way her eyes lowered pitifully as I drawled; "I am tense because I’m enraged."

"Why? Did something happen?"

That same innocent tone! That same tiny voice.

I hissed; "Something did happen," and without another word, I took out the phone that Jim had left behind, clicked on the grainy video showing what happened yesterday at the parking lot and turned it to her face.

"Zevran, I can explain!" The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them, and it wasn’t until I’d said them that I realized how guilty I’d sounded saying it. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
