Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Her father’s daughter.

Maurice.

It was one thing to look at her extraordinarily beautiful face and see how much I failed as a mother, and another to have to live with the guilt, while watching her parade around the city like she was some fucking saviour from a long forgotten planet.

The crowd hushed as she walked away, but not after giving Chalice a resounding slap that echoed from one end of the cemetery to the next.

And I should be mad right? I should be pissed that my bastard child had just laid her stupid fingers on my golden girl, right?

Well, I was not.

I was not mad. Not irritated. I was simply dead.

Dead in the soul and mind. I felt drained and disgusted and I was even more irritated at the fact that I knewww that everything she said to me earlier was true.

It was true that I was the one who had destroyed my family by cheating on Malakai with Ragnar— not like I could help it. It was true that I couldn’t look at her without remembering the face of the man I had loved more than life itself. It was true that I never loved Malakai despite living with him for so long... and it was true that I had blamed Leilani wrongfully.

Because come to think of it, who else is to be blamed for my misfortunes?

Myself... I know, I know. But her too.

If she hadn’t decided to be born ’special’ then Malakai would’ve never figured my infidelity out. He would have never known that I had an affair with Ragnar behind his back.

And to top it all, Malakai for some sick reason had decided to include her in his will. For someone who never included her in family functions, never loved her despite how hard she tried and never showed her any iota of love growing up, this was a far stretch.

And now... now, his will cannot even be read in her absence.

My frown deepened as I watched his lawyer walk away with a smug smile on his face. His head was raised high to the heavens and his chin, that sharp ugly chin were so set, you’d think he was in a kind of frowning competition.

"Mom, mom!" Chalice’s annoying voice slipped into my ear and I turned to pin her with a glare.

"What?"

"Did you just hear what he said? That we cannot read father’s will if Leilani isn’t present?"

Sometimes, just like now, I cannot help but see the stark differences between my twin daughters. Because tell me why Chalice is just as stupid as Malakai while Leilani was everything Ragnar was and more?

I rolled my eyes at her question. "I guess I was the one he was talking to about it, so yes, I heard him." I snapped, ignoring the way she clamped her lips shut before turning away. But I didn’t miss the way she shook violently in rage.

She tapped her feet against the floor, not stopping even when people began to cast us disgusted glances. And I knew... goddess I knew because I was her mother that she had a lot to say. She was pissed— not-rightfully so, and—

"Isn’t that insane?" she spat, and this time, it was the priest who lifted his head to look at her. "She’s a bastard. I don’t care if she’s my twin or not but she’s a bastard all the same... she should have a say or any cut in father’s will."

"And I think you should be more worried about the hideous wig sitting so obviously on your head than whatever you’re so piqued about right now." Someone said from behind me, causing both Chalice and I to turn around.

They hate her.

They do not love her.

So why the hell has she been pinning on them for so long?

So you see, she’s just as stupid as Malakai.
