242 Black out.

Leilani.

If there was something I loved more than the smell of blueberries muffins wafting through the air, then it was the way Chalice shook uncontrollably like a leaf in the wind.

It was the way the pungent smell of her fear filled my nose. It was her panic, her desperation… heavens, I even revelled in the way she gasped as if short of breath… The way she cried for mercy… and how she got none of those.

Right now, she was waving her hands in the air like a lunatic and whenever she stopped, she would turn to land a slap on Louis’ face… his head. In fact, wherever she could touch as she yelled;

“You don’t know what you’re saying! Do you know that

your words can be considered treason?!”

“What is treason?” That was Kael who suddenly asked.

Since the beginning of this whole debacle, he’s been silent. Calculative… and while his eyes never left my face for even a moment, I could easily tell that it wasn’t I that he was thinking about. It was Chalice.

He drawled; “Do you know the meaning of the word ‘treason”?”

At the sound of his voice, Chalice lowered her head and hiccuped. I almost smiled when she wiped the tears off her face and leaned close to him as if silently screaming; ‘Help me!’

But he didn’t look like he was here to help her. If anything, I feared that he wanted to break her.

“T-treason means stealing from… it means lying

about…”

“Dumbass..!” I hissed under my breath, causing a

few people present to turn to me. When Chalice’s eyes landed on me, they thinned. She spat; “What the fuck did you just say?”

“I just called you an empty brain. I said you’re a

dumbass and that I can’t believe that we’re sisters

with how stupid you are!” 2

She gasped and I noticed how the expression on her face went from desperately sorry to irritated in a second. However, she was just about to speak when I waved her off and took a step back, intentionally leaning closer to Zevran when I noticed the way her nostrils flared.

I spat; “Treason means betraying one’s people or

government.”

Her lips snapped shut. “Oh.”

“Of course, oh.” I mumbled, twisting the knife of humiliation even deeper into her chest. “You don’t know the meaning of a word but you think it’s just sexy to throw it around like a smartass?!”

I snorted, but surprisingly, this time, she didn’t hit me with a clap back.

She didn’t even clap back.

She simply ignored me and turned to Kael, her voice dropping a few notches as she whispered to him; “I didn’t betray you.”

“You betrayed our wedding vows by sleeping with your bodyguard.” Kael answered coldly. “You betrayed all we stood for by plotting behind our

backs…”

“You even tried to kill your twin and for the longest time, pretended like it was your twin who was after you.” Zevran added andI noticed the way she crumbled even more.

If she was in pain or ashamed earlier, then now it

was worse.

She whispered; “But I didn’t—’

“Did you or did you not send some rogues to

attack her?” Zevran seethed from beside me, making me flinch slightly before turning to him.

And the sound of his voice, Chalice crumbled again. She shook her head.

“Don’t lie to me!” When he spoke this time, I felt goosebumps spread across my skin. I felt the way some people around ducked their heads almost instantly and I knew then and there that he’d used his Alpha voice again.

But why isn’t it working on me?

Why am I immune to a lot of things?

I was snapped out of these thoughts when her knees hit the floor. Now compelled, she sobbed; “I did… I did. I just wanted them to kill her so that I can take her place.”

“Like you’re smart enough to take my place!” I hissed back, not missing the laughs that rippled through the crowd. 2

coupled with the tears running down her face, she looked botched. She stuttered; “I wanted to be loved by you… to be accepted. I wanted to feel

“Eishhh! You’re such a greedy ingrate!” I heard someone hiss from behind me but before could respond, Caelum cut in;

“That’s enough!” He snarled, “We’ve all heard what you have to say but it doesn’t take out the fact that your stolen company’s money for your own personal use. You were involved in an illicit affair with your bodyguard… and you plotted to kill your twin.”

“We all act like we’ve forgotten that she

murdered grandmother too and that Leilani was forced to bear the consequences for so long!”

That was Gavin, and as soon as I heard that, I felt the entire room freeze.

My mouth went dry too, and maybe it was because those words had managed to fuel the surge of some unpleasant memories, but I found myself fisting by my sides, my breath going heavy as I stared pointedly at Chalice still crouched on

the floor.

“She has committed crimes that are unimaginable and should be made to face the consequences!”

“Please…” she sobbed, “I didn’t… I really didn’t sleep with Louis!”

“Then would you agree to have your pup removed from your womb and placed in an incubator?” Kael suggested but as soon as the words slipped out of his mouth, her head snapped up and she yelled;

“Why?”

“That way, we could perform a DNA test on it. We could find out if it is ours or his… and after that,

we would decide on what to do about-”
