Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383: A plus one.

Leilani.

Her reaction made me so shocked that I didn’t immediately know whether to run after her or to laugh. And when she continued to run— to the gates— something within me snapped.

My brain, which at this point seemed forever frozen, picked up signals, and I immediately dashed after her, screaming wildly at the top of my voice as I tried to reassure her that I was indeed not a ghost.

But did she stop?

Hell no!

If anything, the fact that I was running after her made her run even faster. She rushed through the high gates, stumbled into the quiet streets ahead and continued to scream as loud as a banshee, causing the guards and the maidservants all around to turn and stare in her direction, as if in shock.

I do not know how I did it, nor do I care, but one minute, I was a couple of metres away from her and in the next, I was tackling her to the ground and throwing my entire weight against her as we both crashed to the hard ground.

"Fuck, fuck fuck it, bitch!" She growled in my face, but upon seeing that it was me, her face instantly turned ashen, all the fight she had left in her disappeared and in the blink of an eye, the screaming fighting woman that was once in front of me morphed into someone else. Someone I didn’t— couldn’t recognize.

And someone whose face immediately fell and tears streamed down the corners of her face, slipping to the ground behind her back.

At the sight, my first reaction was to get off her and that was exactly what I did. I tried next to help her to her feet but she refused to take my hand, insisting instead to lay on the floor and cry while I hovered over her like a freaking predator.

"Maya," I sighed, feeling slightly frustrated now. "Please stand up. It is me. It really is me!"

At the sound of my voice, her closed eyes fluttered open. She stared at me for a second too long as if trying to memorise my face.

When I stretched out my hands towards her for the second time, she took it— too fast if I must say; But as soon as she rose to her feet, she kicked me hard in my crotch and resumed running around like a headless chicken.

"Ouch!" I groaned, "...that hurt like hell!"

Now, gone was the time when that made me laugh. If anything, it made me extremely embarrassed now. So I sighed in distraught as I walked away from her, walked back to the house, sat on the porch and waited patiently for her to snap out of it.

A couple of minutes passed and then more...

Then more.

And more.

Before she slowly began to walk over, her eyebrows shooting into her hairline as she asked; "You didn’t die?"

"Was I supposed to?" I hissed back, not missing the way her eyes widened slightly before tears began to stream down her face.

"You were never dead?!" She said, louder this time. I even noticed that her voice had grown firmer and for some reason, she was standing way closer than she has ever gotten to me since today.

I nodded quietly as I watched her take slow deep breaths, and when the realization slowly dawned on her, she heaved out a sigh, rushed into my already open arms and began to sob loudly.

And ladies and gentlemen, that finally broke me.

It shattered me into a million tiny pieces, leaving me bleeding out at her feet.
