Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Couldn’t live with that.

Zevran.

"SECURITY!"

The words sounded like a blow to my guts. I recoiled as if struck and turned to my brothers who also had bewildered expressions on their faces .

Goddess, this sick idea had all been Caelum’s. I had warned him profusely about how insane it would be to simply take gifts to Leilani when she doesn’t even want to have anything with us.

—that and the fact that she’d recently sued us to court.

But he’d been adamant.

In his words; "All women love gifts!" And apparently, Leilani was an exception. She was always an exception!

I had seen the horror in her eyes when she stepped into her office to find us in it... not just us but the several gifts we’d spent several hours pulling together as well. And I knew then and there that we’d crossed our boundaries again.

Gosh, we cannot seem to do anything right with her!

I was snapped out of these depressing thoughts when the door opened up seconds later and two burly men stepped in. Behind them was Leilani... and goddess, she was beautiful!

Too beautiful.

The way her beautiful silver hair cascaded down her slim body and her skin radiated brightly under the light made me want to swear that she was created on a sabbath day, probably on the moon goddess’s birthday as well.

My chest felt tight at the sight of her, and for a minute, I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t move. I simply was transfixed by her beauty, I was captivated by the ethereal greatness that was her presence.

Geez, I almost sound like Shakespeare right now...

She spat, and her words brought me back to the present; "They’re Alphas, John, so don’t lay your hands on them, they can beat you up, but help them out of my office. And make sure they take their gifts along."

One of the security officers turned to her with eyes so wide, I nearly laughed. He didn’t need to say anything for us to know what his look conveyed, so I stepped forward, wanting to make his job easier for him and drawled;

"We’ll leave."

"Please do so, Alphas... and your gifts; my lady doesn’t want them so you’ll need to take them with you."

I smiled coldly at the guard then turned my attention to Leilani who stood by the corner, typing away at her phone and not sparing us another glance.

Seeing her like this, so distant... so beautiful yet completely out of reach, made my heart hurt in my chest. I nodded and then turned to my brothers who— even after the guards had come in— were still on their knees; and snapped;

"Stand up! Let’s go!"

But they didn’t move immediately. Caelum, out of all of us, looked the most torn. His eyes looked heavy as he begrudgingly rose to his feet, and then he whispered, but not low enough that we couldn’t hear.

He said; "Leilani, I can let you punch me in the face again. You can take ten teeth from my mouth this time and not one; just give us the opportunity to talk to you. Even for a minute."

Goddess, I knew that it wasn’t funny but I almost wanted to laugh.

I almost wanted to laugh at his desperation, his regrets... and at the way he was looking at her like she was the fucking moon and sun and the stars out together.

Even Leilani couldn’t hold back her laughter as she chuckled darkly. She turned to him, stared at him long and hard, and then shook her head. "No."

"Please."

"We’ll speak about it later in court." She drawled softly, "...and our first hearing is in two days, so be prepared. For now, I’ll have to file a restraining order against you three, so please do not come back here. Thank you."

Her words, so softly spoken, hit me right where it hurt the most. I shuddered, but before I could speak, Kael beat me to it. He drawled;

And I immediately did as told, my cheeks burning as I walked away from her. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
