Let Them Kneel (kaelani and Julian) novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166

The lanternlight flickered across Draevyn’s face.

And Lyressa felt something inside her begin to fracture.

She remained perfectly still in the doorway, the narrow crack of the door the only thing keeping her hidden as the reality of the moment settled slowly, painfully into place.

The man she loved….

was finding pleasure in another woman.

No

This couldn’t be real.

It had to be some cruel illusion….some trick of the mind brought on by exhaustion and illness.

Draevyn would never-

But then his hands moved.

He gripped the servant’s hips firmly, pulling her closer as she moved against him, urging her faster with a low sound of pleasure that echoed through the room.

His grunts of pleasure made Lyressa’s head spin.

The servant moaned breathlessly as she rode him harder and faster.

And Draevyn-

Draevyn said her name.

Not Lyressa’s.

Hers.

His voice was thick with desire as he murmured words Lyressa knew all too well.

That he loved her.

That he loved the feel of her around him.

Each word struck like a blade sliding deeper into Lyressa’s chest.

Something inside her finally broke.

The last fragile hope that this was a mistake… that she had misunderstood… shattered completely.

Her vision blurred.

Tears spilled down her cheeks in silent streams as she stood frozen in the doorway, too stunned to move, too shattered to breathe.

And in that moment, watching the man she had trusted with her heart give those same words to another woman

Lyressa felt her world collapse around her.

Kaelani felt it the moment the truth struck Lyressa.

The betrayal didn’t come gently.
