Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Love is such a strong word.

Leilani.

I cried as I walked the rest of the way to my office, cried as I forcefully pried my door open and staggered into the cold space that was my second home.

My heart felt heavy as I took in the scattered documents on my desk, that and the open laptop sitting at the front of my chair as if calling out to me.

This was my home.

This was my office.

It was the place I’d lived in and grown in for the past one year and a couple of months, and now, due to some reason—the triplets, I could no longer stand to be here anymore. I could no longer see myself living in NYC or frequenting places that I knew they could easily find me.

"Leilani, why did you suddenly agree to leave?" A voice suddenly said, snapping me out of the several thoughts swirling around my head, and when I turned around, I was surprised to see Jarek standing there, his face a mask of indifference but I didn’t miss the small twitches under his left eyebrow or the way it seemed as though he was holding himself back.

I opened my mouth but soon closed it as I was unable to find the right words to say to him.

Because come to think of it, how could I tell him about my father Ragnar without explaining all the other occurrences that had led to this event?

How do I explain to him that I am running from the triplets— the same ones he hated to a fault and had warned me to stay away from— without sounding like a fool?

These thoughts and several more made me turn away from him and I lowered my head, to hide my shame and despair, as I spat; "Nothing. I was only respecting your decision."

"No Leilani, you’re not one who would respect my decision, especially not one like this." He drawled, and for some reason, something about those words grated on my nerves. It made me inexplicably mad and I found myself spinning around to face him. I then planted both hands on my hips and snapped;

"Do you or do you not want me to go?"

He gulped, lowering his head. "I don’t know."

And I swear to god, that made me frown. I hissed; "So why the fuck did you bring it up in the first place if you are this unsure?"

My words made him look away in embarrassment. And I know that it was ’embarrassment’ he felt with the way his cheeks colored a bright shade of pink. I knew because he was suddenly fidgeting and because he could look at everything—absolutely everything— but my face!

"I didn’t know," he finally said after a moment of tense silence. "I just wanted to scare you. I just thought I was losing you after being away for so long and I wanted to ensure that if I lost you, then the triplets would have to lose you as well." He drawled softly, "...I didn’t know you would take it to heart or agree. I never planned to really send you there!"

Goddess, I couldn’t believe my ears! I couldn’t believe the words this man was saying to me!

I was so angry that for a couple of seconds, all I heard was a strange buzzing sound in my ears.

I sighed and turned away, hating the direction the conversation was going and hating the way it made me feel. I muttered; "You were gone for so long..."
