Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Eighty times.

Leilani.

The moment I struck Clement or whatever his name was, silence settled in the room like a cloud of dark smoke.

The air was so dense and so thick with uncomfortable tension that you could literally cut through it with a knife.

Clement fell to the floor with a loud thump whilst clutching at his throat like I’d strangled him and not slapped his cheek, and Ashe cried out for mercy like the pathetic shit that he was, all I felt was an immeasurable amount of irritation.

I was disgusted. To no end.

I wanted to tie him up to the ceiling but in an upside down position and then shake him so hard until I got all the information I wanted out of him.

But I couldn’t torture him like that. Especially not here.

So instead, I could only watch him closely with my chest burning. My throat felt tight and my body shook with emotions— not pity per say, but anger. Anger after hearing what Chalice had to say about Clement. Anger at the things he’d put her through all in the name of attaining pleasure.

It took him a moment to gather himself together after the slap and when he finally did, he coughed hysterically, looked up at me from his position on the floor and croaked out;

"That wasn’t all that happened."

But I wasn’t willing to know what happened after that. Gosh, I didn’t want to listen to a word he had to say!

"Nothing justifies what you did to her! Nothing!" That was Maya, and as her voice tore through the atmosphere, something within me snapped tighter. My nerve endings felt stretched taut and my body shook slightly, probably due to rage.

"But she isn’t telling the entire truth! She’s talking like I made her do it all against her will!" He screamed back at Maya who snorted angrily before leaning downward to slip off her high heels.

And to my utmost surprise, as soon as she took off her shoes, she immediately tried to attack Clement, and maybe she would have if Gavin hadn’t stepped in quickly.

She cursed; "And how the fuck do you expect us to believe that she wasn’t raped against her will?! Do you not hear how stupid that sounds?"

"She wasn’t always raped! Gosh, she even did the raping a few times!" He clapped back; And goddess, maybe I shouldn’t have listened to that. Maybe I should never have paid him the attention he didn’t deserve because something about those words made my eyes widen.

I turned slowly to him and spat; "Then tell me, Clement, what was the entire thing that happened between you two?"

"She came to me!" He snapped quickly, dropping his gaze. "I know that our relationship has always been somewhat below normal human moral compasses, but she came to me first! She approached me and gosh, I don’t think you’ll understand but she’s a very good temptress!"

"And you decided to use her?" I spat, crouching in front of him until we were on the same eye level.

In this position, I could clearly see the way he trembled like a leaf in the wind. I could feel the way Chalice was looking at me strangely, like she was just seeing me for the first time in her life. She lowered her gaze and bit her lips. However, just as I turned to look at her, she frowned and away, her jaws hardening into a stubborn line as she seethed;

"Wonder why you’re acting all high and mighty!" She hissed under her breath and upon hearing that, my anger flared one more time.

I decided then and there that maybe my pity was the last thing she needed. Maybe compassion was the last thing she deserved.

Gavin probably thought so too because then he scoffed and looked away, but before he did, I didn’t miss the disappointment in his eyes. The confusion and the disgust.

I drawled; "She approached you and you took advantage of her. You made yourself her pimp and made her sleep with several different men..."

"Most of which she did on her own!" He snorted, interrupting me. "I only made her do it when I began to go bankrupt and I completely lost everything after she stole from me and fled!"

"So while we all thought you were in school, studying, Chalice, you were busy having the time of your life? You were jumping from one man to the other? Yet you managed to make people believe for so long that Leilani was the promiscuous one?"
