Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Lies.

Leilani

"I knew Micah was possessed when he began to take off his clothes and moo like a cow!" Maya squealed excitedly from the back of the car and from the rearview mirror, I could see her playfully slapping at Gavin’s arms, her lips spread into the most beautiful smile as she spoke animatedly.

But for some reason, I couldn’t share in her excitement.

I couldn’t bring myself to make jokes about the situation when I had my own suspicions.

I never knew Micah personally but I always knew that he was a pain in the triplets’ arses. I also knew that he has been on their case for a while now, trying to get larger chunks from the fortune their late father left behind before his demise; so when I had noticed this presence earlier today, I had been half expecting a silent battle...

Some state of or something.

So tell me why we got a strip tease instead?

Tell me why he was acting absolutely bananas and I mean that in every sense of the word? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

I turned to glance at Jarek who for some reason hasn’t spoken more than ten words ever since his arrival at the party this evening, and even though I knew that I had a million and one things to say to him, I simply couldn’t bring my lips to move.

My tongue felt glued to the roof of my mouth and my heart— that traitorous bastard— would always somersault whenever I thought about talking to him.

He drawled; "You can stop staring holes into my head and just tell me what’s going on in your mind."

And as soon as I heard his voice, my heart jumped into my mouth.

Maya made a sound at the base of her throat that sounded almost like a squeal... only that I know what a squeal actually sounds like.

Ignoring her, I cleared my throat and said softly to Jarek; "I wasn’t expecting to see you today."

Why do you look so lean?

Why does it feel like the treatments they’re administering to you are taking more than we thought they would?

Why are you so pale? So quiet?

What the fuck happened to you?

All of these were questions I wanted to ask him but couldn’t bring myself to, and for this reason, I simply clamped my lips together and smiled softly at him, waiting patiently for him to respond to me.

But a minute passed and he didn’t.

He still didn’t respond at the second, third and fourth minutes.

And good gracious, it wasn’t until this moment that it finally dawned on me that he was the one driving this car! That he was the one practically responsible for all of our safeties. So what if... what if he hasn’t been feeling better?

What if he had sneaked out of his lab just to be here?

As soon as that thought struck, I was suddenly snapped out of the dreadful thoughts when he swerved the car off the road and parked to the side, his face a complete storm when he turned to me. He seethed;

"Is this what you’ve been doing in my absence?"

I froze.
