Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Impossibilities.

Leilani.

I know that I should avoid the triplets like a plague, but for some reason, I could not. Not when they were in my literal hair like lice. Not when they were hovering around me like smoke, and especially not when I could I feel them... their eyes boring in my skin... and their featherlight touches brushing over my skin like a lustful caress whenever they passed by me.

It was intentional. That I was sure of. I was also quite sure that all of what they did was in an attempt to get me to react strongly to their theatrics.

I buried my face into the laptop in front of me as I tried for several hours to fix the bug problem that Kael had asked— no, begged— me to, and after what felt like forever, like an eternity of breathing through my lips because my nostrils had long stopped working, due to how flustered I was, I finally lifted my head, met his gaze and said;

"It is done."

The bug issue?" Zevran asked, sounding stunned.

"Yes, it is done."

"And you have checked through the document? Have you read our portfolio? The one we said wasn’t good enough and intended to show to the bigger Valemont?" That was Kael and I didn’t even need to turn around to face him as I nodded.

"Yes."

"Wow! That was fast!" Zevran cried out in excitement as he came forward to come sit beside me. While he did so, his arm brushed against mine, sending jolts of electricity rushing through my body.

I almost flinched at the contact but upon biting down on my lower lip and pushing whatever sensation I felt down, I held myself from doing so and said softly; "Are you satisfied?"

He leaned close to the laptop screen, his eyebrows scrunched together as he read through the documents in front of him. He didn’t even need to say a word for me to see how excited he was. And after a moment, he leaned away, pulled me into his arms until I was pressed HARD against him and kissed my forehead with flourish.

"Yes, yes I am satisfied! Thank you so much, Lani!"

His excitement made me smile despite myself. It made my traitorous heart flutter in my chest and made heat bloom on my face. However, I was just about to respond when he turned to his brothers and cried out; "Kael, Caelum, come and take a good look at this!"

I stilled.

It wasn’t until Caelum’s name was mentioned that I finally remembered that he was here with us. Since the break of dawn, he’s been aloof, cold and has kept to himself. He also didn’t bug me like he always would and did nothing besides cast lingering looks at me.

There were moments I couldn’t help but think that he was avoiding me, and now— now that Zevran had called out to him and Kael, and he still didn’t move an inch or especially try to come close, I decided then that he was indeed avoiding me.

I rolled my eyes.

Please goddess, make him remain this way.

Kael however pushed forward and peeked into the screen, and upon seeing what I have spent the past two hours working on, he whistled excitedly, his eyes glowing with joy as he cried out;

"You are so good, Leilani! No wonder Frostclaw keeps you close!"

The compliment made my face burn and I ducked my head, smiling shyly as I whispered; "You’re wrong."

But he didn’t hear me. No one did as Caelum drawled;

"Yes, this is exactly why he has refused to allow other companies pitch themselves to her or propose—"
