Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Have fun.

Leilani.

"Seychelles as in SEY-CHELLES?" I stuttered in surprise.

He chuckled. "Yes."

I shook my head. "We are in Africa? From New York City?"

Again, he nodded, chuckling. "Yes."

But even after hearing it from him, I still didn’t believe it. I couldn’t. I mean, wasn’t it only an hour ago that I was in their kitchen, trying to help myself to a glass of water before losing myself to a panic attack?

Wasn’t I only in my night dress a while ago?

Speaking of my night dress... where the fuck is it? How the hell am I dressed in something different?!

"Who the hell changed my clothes?!"

At my very loud and very- disconnected- from- the- current- conversation outburst, Kael instantly lowered his head, but I didn’t miss the small smile that now played at the corners of his lips nor the way his eyes gleamed with delight seconds before he turned his face away from me.

I could swear that he was enjoying this a little too much. But that wasn’t all. He looked too relaxed and that almost set me off.

Almost...

Until I realized that I found his current demeanor too attractive to be pissed.

So I tried again. "What the hell is happening?"

"Can you calm down?"

"I will ’calm down’ as you have suggested when you tell me everything. When you explain to me why one minute I was in NYC, struggling to breathe in some silk night dress that I had gotten as a gift from Maya, and the next, I am here, clad in some shimmering, flowy, stupidly beautiful dress, and for some reason, you’re telling me that I am in Seychelles. Seychelles, Africa, which is like the very extreme end of my usual world!"

"You are overreacting." Kael drawled, and in that moment... heavens, I do not know if it was the fact that he’s just told me that I am overreacting or something else— something that has to do with his overly attractiveness— but I found myself on the verge of going berserk.

I snapped; "I am overreacting?!"

And as soon as I screamed that out loud, he frowned, smiled and then shook his head slowly. "No, you’re not."

"So tell me."

"What’s there to tell you besides the truth. Besides how you had a panic attack, and how Caelum was finally able to successfully calm you down after several hours of trying. But even after that, we realized that you had developed a fever and would not wake up. Darius, on the other hand, kept trying to reach out to know when you guys would ’meet’ and then Zevran decided that it is best we took you out of everything all together. That you needed some time off. And that’s what we did... we brought you here."

Something about his words made my lips clamp shut. It made some of the rage— which was not a lot to begin with— that I felt earlier, dissipate.

I looked up at him, feeling slightly remorseful and almost shameful, and then I whispered; "Oh, I didn’t know that... thank you."

"You were unconscious most of the time..." he drawled, seemingly un-offended. And I nodded.

However, he was just about to say something more when a thought suddenly struck my mind and before I could help myself, I blurted out the next question that popped into my head.

I snapped; "Who changed my clothes?"

At that, Kael chuckled. He couldn’t hide it this time as he laughed with his head lowered. It took him a moment before he was able to get his shit together and when he did, he shrugged in feigned nonchalance and snickered;

"One of the maids did it the first night when you had a panic attack. Caelum did the next day when your fever wouldn’t break. I did when we wanted to move you to the airport and Zevran did when we got here to change you out of the clothes you traveled in. Is that what you wanted to know?"

In other words: they all took care of me.

They all saw my nakedness.
