Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Want her gone.

Chalice.

"Oh, hi Chalice! I didn’t think you’d come!" My stupid cursed twin squealed in feign excitement, and as soon as I heard those words and the stupid fake sweetness that dripped off them like honey, my heart stopped. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Like literally stopped.

The corners of my eyes stung as it finally began to dawn on me that she was playing my games. And do you know what is worse?

The fact that she seemed to be just as good as me, if not better.

I subconsciously took a step forward, but just as I approached Leilani, Gavin stepped in. He stood between us as if acting like her human shield... as though he was afraid that I would hurt her... like she was some precious little thing that he needed to protect.

But I used to be his precious little thing.

I used to be the one he protects, not her.

The betrayal stung more than anything else I’ve ever experienced in my entire life and tears streamed down my face before I could stop them. I didn’t even realize that I was crying until Leilani’s stupid voice seeped into my ear, snapping me out of my reverie. She asked; "Are you okay, Chalice?"

That same sweet voice.

That same feigned concern.

Even though right now, all I wanted to do was wrap my hands around her throat until she begged for death, I shook my head, but due to how tight my throat suddenly felt, I couldn’t bring myself to respond.

Goddess, I felt betrayed and hurt... and abandoned. And it was all her fault!

Gavin didn’t even try to help even as he saw me struggling. Frostclaw didn’t either. My eyes snagged on the faces of all those present in the room, and upon the realization that I was indeed in the enemy’s territory, I dashed out, crying as I forced my stiff limbs to move to Caelum’s room.

Without a word, I pushed it open and stepped inside, halting in my steps when I found Zevran and Kael engaged in some conversation that I seemed to have disrupted.

At my intrusion, they turned to look at me, not even bothering to hide the irritation on their faces, and then Zevran scoffed.

"What are you doing here?"

No welcome. No smile. No nothing.

A feeling akin to dejection coiled tight at the base of my stomach, and goddess, I suddenly began to feel unwell. Heat crawled up my neck and face, spreading to my chest and back. I also felt nauseous too for real; But pushing all of these things away, I gritted out;

"I c-came to see Caelum."

At my voice, they turned to look at me again, cast me one distasteful glance and then turned away without another word.

A moment of silence passed between us before Kael finally spoke up. He drawled; "Caelum is fine. You’re pregnant. You should worry more about yourself right now."

I didn’t know if that was him showing care or if he was simply trying to get rid of me, but deciding to settle on deluding myself by thinking he cared, I nodded.

"He’s my husband."

My husband!

My heart plummeted when they turned to look at me like I’d just sprouted a second head. But they said nothing. Instead, they decided to ignore me whilst continuing with their conversation.

I watched them quietly as they continued to talk as if unbothered by my presence; But when they caught me watching— and paying too much attention to what they were talking about, they walked out of the room, leaving me there like I wasn’t worth shit.

And they would never do that to Leilani.

They would never hurt her the way they constantly hurt me.

I may have never felt heartbreak before, but the way I felt right now... the way my chest felt like it was about to explode right now, I instantly knew that I had finally gotten to experience what heartbreak feels like.

That I now knew exactly how Leilani felt all those years ago.

My chest felt heavy as I stumbled over to Caelum’s bed and with a small cry, I wrapped my arms around his chest, burying my face into the crook of his cold damp neck.

"I miss you." I cried out, "I miss you so much." —Because you were the only one who used to treat me like a princess.
