Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Wrong turn.

Leilani.

My grip was getting tighter with my nails digging deep into her skin until it broke it, drawing blood. But besides a quiet whimper, Keisha made no sound. She didn’t lift her head once to look at me nor did she beg to be left alone.

Maybe she already knows that I won’t listen.

Her chin was set into a stubborn line, her eyes hardening even more with each passing second. I vaguely heard the shift before I felt it. It was Darius and he came to stand so close to him, I could literally smell the other scent on his skin— more feminine. Definitely not him.

"Leilani..." he drawled, "his voice trailing off. You are... you are trying to kill her."

While he spoke, his eyes would occasionally dart to my face then to my hair where it would stay for a moment too long before he would try to meet my eyes.

"I understand that you are mad. That you’re very pissed at the moment. But I do not think it is ideal to kill her like this... especially not now. She still has puppets that would try to find out what happened to her." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"The same way I got to find out what happened to Agnes?" I hissed and as soon as I did that, for the first time, Keisha made a sound deep in her throat.

Her eyes watered as she came to look at me, a flicker of something akin to fear crossing her features before it slowly left.

"No."

Darius came even closer until he was crowding my personal space. His tall figure loomed over me like an intimidating building, and I... I only found that insanely annoying.

"What I mean is they would find out and they would try to kill you."

"They can try." I hissed, ignoring him, "...but first, I need to hurt her like she has hurt me. Like she has hurt the people around me... Agnes... Jarek..." my voice broke at the mention of those names, and for a reason, at that moment, my vision waned.

Sounds disappeared, dissolving into white noises at the back of my ears and my vision darkened, only to be filled with images... and scenarios that I wished to leave forgotten.

The first one was an image of Agnes smiling. Of the time when she used to taunt me by explicitly describing her sexual encounters with her said boyfriend— Louis. But just before I could bring myself to smile at that, it shifted to a different scene entirely, to one where she was charred beyond recognition. One where her hair had burnt so badly, it had melted into her skull. Her once beautiful skin was burned all the way to her bones and she was stuck into a position— one in which she would remain in forever.

Gone was her smile. Her voice. Her wild hair...

"Agnes is dead." The words echoed in my head like a chant, reminding me of that moment... forcing me to relive that trauma, that pain... that heartache.

I blinked just in time to see Jarek and my heart literally came to a stuttering stop when he smiled at me. It was one of his dimpled smiles and it made my chest melt when he leaned down to wrap a thick red scarf around my neck. It was the same scarf he had gifted me... the one that had stood between us like a symbol. A promise.

And then...

Then he also shifted, turning into a pale gaunt figure with cotton buds stuck into his nostrils and ears. He had dark purple veins running along the length of his hands, face and legs, and when he tried to reach out to me, his hands shook violently, like it was fighting against gravity, before falling to his sides with a faint thud.

His exposed chest seemed rotten at the center— at the same spot where Keisha had shot.

And that scene... that image, made my heart stretch so tight until I felt like I was about to combust.

A loud cry made its way out of the depths of my soul and I tilted my head back, screaming into the air as the sounds of bones crunching under my hands filled my ears.

But that was not the only sound that filled my ears.

Her cries did too.

They were agonizing.

Raw.

Just the way I liked it.

"LEILANI!" Darius yelled out my name but I ignored him.

"Leilani?!" That was Kael and as soon as I heard his voice, I stopped. My fingers loosened around her arm before it slowly fell off.

I saw her try to run but at that moment, I didn’t care. I felt numb so I simply let her do as she liked, only to realize a second later that Kael had caught her and was now holding onto her like you would hold onto a criminal...

She was one anyway.

Her eyes were wide with apprehension and her face had fallen so much, it was a wonder how it hadn’t fallen off her head.

I turned around slowly, intending to speak... to justify my actions but just as I did that, I fell straight into a wall of muscle.

Or chest.

Goddess, I wish I had that much power over her.
