Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: The beginning of the end.

Chalice.

By the time I finally came to, I wasn’t so surprised to discover that no one had stayed by my bedside all through the time I was out.

There were no drugs on my side table, no chairs close to my bed. No nothing. It felt as though everyone had finally decided to get rid of me. Like they all didn’t care if I lived or died anymore, and it was all Leilani’s fault.

This is what she’d been after from the onset. To ruin me. To hurt me just as much as I had done to her. It was the reason she had attended my wedding today.

She hadn’t come to celebrate but had come with the sole aim of ruining everything.

A shudder ran up my spine at the thought. However, something still felt weird to me. Something about what she’d done earlier still felt strange;

And it was the fact that she’d waited until the triplets and I said our wedding vows and then marked me before she had come up with those pieces of evidence.

It was as if... she wanted me to be with them.

Like she wanted them tied down to me for all of eternity... and that didn’t sit right with me.

Tears slipped out of my eyes, and I couldn’t help but decide then and there that I’d been so foolish to not see through Leilani’s plan from the get go.

I mean, she had told me about a gift and I had shrugged it off, thinking that she was all bark and no bite. But I was wrong.

"When you’re done slipping in amd out of your thoughts, you will tell me why you killed Grandma Aurora and framed Leilani for it." A voice suddenly said from the door, snapping me out of my train of thoughts and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Gavin leaning against the door frame, his usually bright blue eyes now dark with barely contained fury.

Seeing him like this made my heart race. I dropped my head, squeezed my eyes shut slightly and drawled; "No."

"No, what, Chalice?" He snapped irritatedly, "No, you didn’t know you framed her for a crime or what? Or are you suddenly forgetting that you admitted to committing the crime earlier?"

"I know..." Goddess, I didn’t even know what to say anymore. My chest felt like it was being squeezed hard and breathing felt like one of those tedious sports you would see at the Olympics.

I sat up slowly, my hands shaking slightly when I met his dark gaze one more time. I drawled; "It was an accident."

"I know that. I saw it... my question is why did you frame Leilani for it?"

Again, I lowered my head in shame and shook my head. "I’m sorry."

But that didn’t do it for Gavin. He rolled his eyes at me, and when he looked at me again, there was not even a trace of affection in his eyes. He looked at me with disgust... regarded me like I was as important as the sand under his shoes.

He shook his head and stepped away just in time for Caelum to step in, and as soon as I saw his dark eyes, stormy and pissed, my body stiffened.

I trembled, I stuttered; "Caelum... I-I can explain!"

But he didn’t talk right away. Instead he tilted his head to the side, watched me for a minute or two and asked; "Why?"

Why what?

What was he asking for exactly?

"Why do you hate Leilani so much? Why did you watch us punish her for crimes she didn’t commit? Was there some kind of high you derived from doing it? Huh?" He asked, but I didn’t respond.

I couldn’t bring myself to.

I bit my lips and looked away, only to wince when a sudden sharp pain tore through my skull. I closed my eyes and groaned; and it didn’t take me long to know what it was.

Caelum was using his Alpha aura on me. Again. All because of that wench.

I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping that I could fight off the effects of his aura. But I couldn’t. Tears slipped out of my eyes and down my face.
