Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416: The accident.

Jarek.

It all happened like a movie in slow motion.

One minute, I was fighting for my breath and struggling with the pain searing just... everywhere. I mean, my entire body felt like it was on fire. And then the next minute, I was going through something worse— shock, fear and panic all at once.

But the most of it all was pain.

Yes, pain.

Now, let me take you all back for a few minutes to let you know how I got to this point... how I got to be in such agonizing pain.

I had woken up a few minutes ago with a massive headache— one that was so severe I feared my skull would crack into two parts.

My body had been feverishly hot, sending shockwaves running down my spine, but at the time, that had been the least of my problems.

Heavens, I didn’t even stop to think about myself or the intense pain I’d been in as all I could think about was Leilani.

Lame right?

Yes... no. Well I don’t care.

However, what I cared about was the fact that she was in danger. And that was the first thing I noticed when I peeled my eyes open only to find Keisha pointing a gun straight at her forehead.

From here, she looked composed. Unbothered even but I could see the almost nonexistent twitching of her fingers. I also couldn’t help but notice the slight trembling in her limbs and the way she would ball her hands into fists every now and then until it almost drew blood.

And when it seemed like Keisha was about to pull the trigger, she moved backwards a little— only a little before her eyes lowered to meet mine.

My heart stuttered.

This was all me.

It was my fault that she was in this situation.

I was the reason why Keisha hated her with such burning passion. I mean, none of these would’ve ever happened if I hadn’t gotten myself so involved with her, especially since I already knew that I had a psychotic ex.

I struggled to stand on my feet but that was proving to be impossible due to how weak I was; But when I heard Keisha say the words: "Goodbye Leilani," I do not know how, but I rose to my feet.

The following events happened in a blur as one minute, I was surprised that I had pushed past the pain and risen to my feet, and in the next minute (second, if I am being honest), the loud sound of a gun going off echoed around the room.

I felt the pain before I realized what was happening. Smelled my blood before I realized that I was bleeding.

My body hit the floor with a loud painful thump and it wasn’t until that moment that I realized what I had done... that I had thrown myself in front of the bullet meant for Leilani. That I had allowed myself to be shot just to protect her...

...and goddess, I would do that again and again if that means she would be protected.

A loud groan slipped out of my lips, tearing through the tense silence that followed shortly afterwards.

I vaguely heard the sound of a heavy object clattering to the floor. Vaguely heard the sharp gasp that sounded not so far off.

But I didn’t stop to check who made those sounds.

Why?

Because I knew that it wasn’t Leilani.

And how do I know?
