Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: How powerful is Darius?

Leilani.

My fingers shook with panic as I fumbled with my purse like a mad woman. And even though this matter wasn’t one worth crying for, I couldn’t help the continuous sting by the corners of my eyes or the way my heart raced with apprehension and embarrassment.

Why?

Because for some odd reason, there was no cash in there and I could swear that I’d seen some twenty and hundred dollar notes in my purse before I left the office building.

So what the fuck is happening?

How the hell did all my money suddenly disappear?

"Do you still want the pastries, Madam, or have you changed your mind?" The cashier, who was a semi-pretty blonde girl with a wide mouth and lazy hazel eyes, asked me, and at the sound of her voice, I lifted my head to meet her now slightly hostile gaze.

She lazily dragged those eyes from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, causing me to shudder inwardly before I shook my head.

"I still want them." I said, "give me a minute!"

But then a minute turned into two minutes... then more minutes passed and I still couldn’t find my money yet. Goddess, even my cards were gone!

A blush spread across my cheeks at this realization and as my heart pounded in my chest, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d been robbed. If this was some voodoo shit. Hell, a million and one thoughts crossed my mind as I continued to slap on the pockets of my coat.

Still nothing.

The line behind me was growing longer too with each passing second, but not just that, they were also becoming very agitated.

Their unfiltered words were beginning to get into my ears and even their scornful laughters were clawing at that dark entity inside of me which has been waiting for the perfect moment to snap.

I pinched my eyes together in embarrassment and took in a deep breath, and now, after telling myself that there were no other ways around this and that it was best I leave before I embarrassed myself even further, I returned my purse to my side and sighed.

"I am sorry I cannot get them anymore. I can’t find my money."

The girl didn’t respond to me right away, but her gaze said everything her lips couldn’t. She snorted, whispered something about how typical this whole scenario was, but just as I was about to thank her despite her coldness and leave, a familiar warmth crept in from my side and a voice I knew I wasn’t expecting to hear— especially now— said from beside me;

"I’ll pay for the damsel."

My ears perked up. My skin erupted into flames. And it wasn’t flames as in: ’oh, I’ve just been saved like a damsel in distress by a perfect dark knight!’ kind of flames. It was a ’get away from me, you psychopath!’ kind.

My eyes thinned when I turned to the person, and as soon as a familiar set of purple eyes stared back at me, I stilled. My heartbeat picked up speed.

I spat; "Darius."

He smiled, "nice to meet you, cupcake!"

But I was no cupcake. Heck, it didn’t feel nice to meet him either!

However, deciding to keep that thought to myself, I turned away and shook my head, my voice cold as I quickly said; "No need to pay for me. I was just leaving."

"And baby, I have been watching you for the past five... or is it ten minutes? I know you want those pastries so badly so stop trying to be unreasonably difficult."

His words for some reason filled me with more annoyance than gratitude so I shook my head again. "No."

When he spoke, I felt something like tremors run up my spine, and maybe I was hallucinating but it seemed as though his eyes glowed with each word he said to me. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
