Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: At last.

Chalice.

My body still ached from being fucked hard by Louis last night, so when Gavin barged into my room, looking as though he’d just run a marathon, I was royally pissed.

I seethed; "God, Gavin, what if I was naked?!"

"I checked in with Agnes first!" He snapped back, "...she told me you’d just finished dressing up so I knew beforehand that you weren’t!"

I froze.

I was surprised, not at his words but at his tone. Goddess, he’d never raised his voice at me before. Had never looked at me like this before, and right now, it was surprising that instead of the adoration he usually always accorded me with, all that was left now was a strange anger... and is that suspicion I see in his eyes?

My heart raced as I turned away from my vanity mirror to face him. I folded my arms across my chest and asked; "What is it this time?"

My tone was cool but it was a stark contrast to how I felt on the inside. And I became even more nervous when his eyes roved my body slowly before he spat; "Tell me Chalice, did you lie about seeing Leilani push grandma down the stairs?"

As soon as he asked that, I froze. I swear, my heart literally stopped beating in my chest too. Goosebumps spread across my body and an indescribable amount of chill spread through me. But trying to appear like I was unaffected by his words, I frowned. "Gavin?"

"Do not call my name. I asked you a simple question and I am hoping you will respond with an answer that’s just as simple."

I lowered my gaze and shook my head. As if on cue, tears pooled in my eyes but when I looked up at Gavin, hoping to guilt trip him with my tears, he didn’t flinch. He snorted instead; "Chalice this is not the time to cry! What I ask of you is a simple yes or no question!"

"I know!" I screamed back, "...but I am hurt that you would even ask that. It sounds as if you never even believed me! Like you don’t trust me!"

At my words, he stopped and stared at me for a long time, his eyes softening for a moment. Seeing him like this made me somewhat happy, because I knew then and there that I had successfully avoided his question, as well as guilt trip him.

But I was wrong.

I was so so wrong.

He sighed, pulled me into a hug and pulled away just as fast to place his warm hands on my cheeks. And with a voice so low and so cold, he drawled; "Right now, you’ve successfully made it hard for me to believe you."

"Gavin?"

"It’s difficult to believe you if you wouldn’t even answer the question straightforwardly. And gosh, Chalice, you sound like you have skeletons in your cupboard."

"Gavin! You will not talk to me this way!" I cried now, more out of fear than annoyance.

His hands slowly dropped from my face and he nodded. "I will because I can. And that’s because I’m your elder brother."

"You’re being disrespectful now." I argued, trying and failing woefully to calm my raging heartbeat, but he only shrugged.

"Your wedding to the triplets may be in three days, successfully making you the new Luna of the pack, but if I find out that you had lied against Leilani for whatever reason, I personally will bring you down. I wouldn’t try to protect you anymore because all that’s ever done is make you spoiled."

My heart fell. Goddess, it felt like I could feel it sinking into my stomach.

More tears spilled from my eyes and I could only watch through blurry eyes as he marched away from me, not once looking back at me even though I was crying so loudly.
