Leilani.1

“Leilani, we’re your parents! Why would you even think like that!” She screeched in my face, and for a moment, I went silent.

I didn’t speak. I simply watched her quietly until she began to fidget, and then I drawled;

“Maybe because of everything? Maybe because you’ve always shown me that I was not a part of your tiny pretty family…”

“Stop!” She growled, as tears poured out of her yes, but just like Chalice’s, it meant nothing to me.

I snorted. “You remember my nineteenth birthday party?” I asked slowly, not missing

way her brows furrowed in confusion.

She cast me a glance and shook her head slowly. “Your nineteenth birthday party?” She whispered, “…when did that happen?”

Her words as usual twisted the knife deeper into my heart. I drew in a deep breath, whilst reminding myself that she doesn’t mean shit. That I should be used to things like that…

But I wasn’t.

I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

I couldn’t ignore how much it hurt anymore.

“Do you remember Chalice’s nineteenth birthday party then?” I muttered under my breath, my heart hardening when her face lit up with barely concealed glee.

She nodded. “Yes.”

“That was supposed to be my birthday party too.” I hissed coldly, “…and you do not even remember.”

“Leilani-”

“Anyways, I am not talking to you about it because I suddenly want to be thrown a party. I am because I can remember what your husband said that day. The day he announced Chalice engagement to the triplets. He said and I quote; ‘My only daughter… Chalice.””

Mom gasped.

“At first, I used to think he said it because of his unending hatred for me. But now that I think about it, I know better; and I suspect that there’s an iota of truth in it. I also

fear that I am not related in any way to both of you and I need to be sure of that.”

“You’re definitely my daughter.” She rushed out desperately. “I birthed you. I breastfed you. I nurtured you.”

Her words disgusted me. Goddess, it did to no end as I couldn’t fathom how she could

all of these and still treat me like I am garbage. say

Shaking my head to rid myself of these thoughts, I asked; “But I am not Malakai’s daughter. Am I?”

She froze. “You are. You really are.”

“Then I don’t give a shit about what you have to say anymore. I want your DNA.”

Mother took a step back, her brows furrowing in confusion… and is that frustration? She shook her head again and turned away, heaving as if I had managed to steal the breath from her lungs as she hissed; “I won’t give that to you.”

“You don’t have to.” I answered coldly. “You don’t have to do anything. Don’t worry.”

And with that, I turned away and left, my heart pounding against my chest as I began to think of other ways I could get my hands on their DNA. I had almost begun to lose hopes of getting it until I remembered someone important. Someone who has been of so much value to me these past few days.

Agnes.

I smiled.

Chalice.

I had no idea what mom and Leilani were talking about; but all I knew was that I didn’t want to be a part of it. I didn’t want to be here anymore either and at this point, goddess, I simply wanted to die.

It’s been over ten minutes since I pretended to faint and even until now, no one has come to my aid. Not my parents, not my husbands… and definitely not Gavin who was the source of my discomfort in the first place (2)

My body ached from places it pressed too hard against the floor, and the aching in my

chest wouldn’t stop even now that I was sprawled on the floor and away from everyone’s scrutiny.

Whenever my eyes caught the triplets, I would always remember Zevran’s words; and no matter how much I tried to pretend that I wasn’t hurt by it, I just couldn’t.

Gosh, he doesn’t love me.

Not at all.

And he manages to prove it at any given moment.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a presence before me, and peeling my eyes open slowly, my breath hitched when my eyes landed on Kael’s stony face.

He hissed. “How long do you intend to lay there?” (2

Hades, these past few weeks, I have always noticed how distant he’s been from me. But nothing… nothing at all prepared me for the coldness which now laced his voice like

venom.

“Kael…”

“Stand up.”

“I can’t.”

“If you don’t stand up this minute, I’ll be forced to help you stand.” He growled, and when I still wouldn’t move, he added; “…and trust me, it’s not in the way you think.”

A shudder coursed through my spine at the sound of his voice and I slowly sat up, feeling my tears leak out from the corners of my eyes as I pulled myself up.

Just then, Zevran approached us. He cast me a disdainful glance— not like I was surprised- and seethed;

“What do you think she deserves?”

She? She?

Does he mean me?

Desperation clawed through me as I forced myself to look at his face, and when I was met with a cold disgust, my blood ran cold. I shivered.

“What do you mean?”

“Exactly what you think.” This time, it was Kael who answered.

He turned to cast a sideways glance at Zevran who nodded before they both turned to me again, their gazes icy as Zevran drawled;” know we sentenced you to community service, but Chalice, truth be told, that’s not enough especially for all the things you did to your sister.”

“You deserve worse.” Kael added,

“You deserve something along the lines of… eighty strokes of laced whip. You deserve starvation… you deserve to be beaten like a criminal. You deserve pain.” 2

Their voices were low and icy, sending shivers up my spine. And goddess, I swear I wasn’t faking it this time when tears poured down my face.

My limbs trembled too— mostly because I could hear the seriousness in their voices, and because I knew… deep down, I knew that they meant each word they said. So I did the only thing I could think of.

Emotional blackmail.

I cried; “Please, I am carrying your child.”

Zevran’s eyes roved along my body slowly. Intensely. He murmured; “For a girl who is capable of all the things we’ve learnt about you today, I think you are not fit to be a mother. It’ll actually be nice if you don’t get to give birth to that child… saves you the stress, and us, the pain.”

My heart dropped. Like it literally *tudumed into my stomach.
