Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Targaryens.

Leilani.

I stilled.

And bloody Hades, I could swear that I heard my heart drop into my guts in such a way that I heard a loud splash.

You know the kind of splash that happens when you drop a heavy rock into a pond?

Exactly that!

"Who’s the secret lover or admirer?" She pressed on, but for some reason, her words annoyed me more than they made me flustered.

I frowned deeply and turned to glare at the red roses, and as I did, I couldn’t help but remember Darius’ last words. I also couldn’t shake out how he’d proposed the whole crazy idea to me like it was the most absolutely fucking splendid idea on the planet; and with a shrug, I spat; "take them away."

She froze. "Why?"

"Because Darius is some psychopath that I do not wish to waste this beautiful afternoon talking about." I hissed; and maybe it was the tone of my voice or maybe it was something else but I noticed how she dropped the flowers and turned to look at me, her face a mirror of worry as she asked;

"Is something the matter?"

"Of course, something is always the matter but it’s all good, I promise you. I am fine!"

She seemed not to buy my words as she reluctantly let the conversation go, but her hands still clutched onto mine as she asked; "And are you fine?"

"I am."

A moment of silence passed between us and just when I had begun to think that she had finally decided to let it go, she asked; "Is Darius the same guy who used to send those bouquets of roses to your house?"

I stopped, pressed my lips together and eventually nodded. "Yes."

"Do you know who he is now?"

"He’s my cousin... or brother. Or whatever the fuck he is. But he’s family."

"Family?" She spat in confusion, her eyebrows ceasing together as she stared at me like I had lost my mind. "Really?"

"Yes."

"So why the hell do you not want his flowers? What if he’s trying to make up for all the lost years together?"

Her cluelessness almost made me want to laugh. And goddess, it was cute. However, I soon snapped her out of it when I chuckled lightly and spat;

"Because girl, I know that he isn’t trying to make up for anything. If anything, he made me a stupid proposition."

"Which is?"

"He wants me to marry him." I spat, and as soon as I did, Maya’s eyes bulged. Earlier, she’d been taking a sip from her bottled water but as soon as those words slipped out of my mouth, she spat out her water and began to cough violently before a hysterical laugh bubbled out of her mouth.

I frowned. "What’s so funny about it?"

"Because it sounds like some Targaryens kinda shit or something. Is he demented?" She snapped, and that there made me laugh.

I laughed so hard that my tears filled the corners of my eyes and until I could feel my chest going tight due to how impossible it was becoming for me to breathe properly.

When I finally managed to pull myself together, I shook my head and whispered; "I think so."

"I feel so," she announced, then shook her head before muttering something about how crazy the entire situation sounded under her breath.

At that, she dropped the water bottle and lifted her eyes to meet mine. And in that instant, I noticed the frustration swirling around her beautiful eyes... the tension... the confusion. She muttered; "I and Gavin have decided to hold an engagement party." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
