Fated To Three, Betrayed By All… Until She Rose.

Chalice.

"Oh, hi Chalice! I didn’t think you’d come!" My stupid cursed twin squealed in feign excitement, and as soon as I heard those words and the stupid fake sweetness that dripped off them like honey, my heart stopped.

Like literally stopped.

The corners of my eyes stung as it finally began to dawn on me that she was playing my games. And do you know what is worse?

The fact that she seemed to be just as good as me, if not better.

I subconsciously took a step forward, but just as I approached Leilani, Gavin stepped in. He stood between us as if acting like her human shield... as though he was afraid that I would hurt her... like she was some precious little thing that he needed to protect.

But I used to be his precious little thing.

I used to be the one he protects, not her.

The betrayal stung more than anything else I’ve ever experienced in my entire life and tears streamed down my face before I could stop them. I didn’t even realize that I was crying until Leilani’s stupid voice seeped into my ear, snapping me out of my reverie. She asked; "Are you okay, Chalice?"

That same sweet voice.

That same feigned concern.

Even though right now, all I wanted to do was wrap my hands around her throat until she begged for death, I shook my head, but due to how tight my throat suddenly felt, I couldn’t bring myself to respond.

Goddess, I felt betrayed and hurt... and abandoned. And it was all her fault!

Gavin didn’t even try to help even as he saw me struggling. Frostclaw didn’t either. My eyes snagged on the faces of all those present in the room, and upon the realization that I was indeed in the enemy’s territory, I dashed out, crying as I forced my stiff limbs to move to Caelum’s room.

Without a word, I pushed it open and stepped inside, halting in my steps when I found Zevran and Kael engaged in some conversation that I seemed to have disrupted.

At my intrusion, they turned to look at me, not even bothering to hide the irritation on their faces, and then Zevran scoffed.

"What are you doing here?"

No welcome. No smile. No nothing.

A feeling akin to dejection coiled tight at the base of my stomach, and goddess, I suddenly began to feel unwell. Heat crawled up my neck and face, spreading to my chest and back. I also felt nauseous too for real; But pushing all of these things away, I gritted out;

"I c-came to see Caelum."

At my voice, they turned to look at me again, cast me one distasteful glance and then turned away without another word.

A moment of silence passed between us before Kael finally spoke up. He drawled; "Caelum is fine. You’re pregnant. You should worry more about yourself right now."

I didn’t know if that was him showing care or if he was simply trying to get rid of me, but deciding to settle on deluding myself by thinking he cared, I nodded.

"He’s my husband."

My husband!

My heart plummeted when they turned to look at me like I’d just sprouted a second head. But they said nothing. Instead, they decided to ignore me whilst continuing with their conversation.

I watched them quietly as they continued to talk as if unbothered by my presence; But when they caught me watching— and paying too much attention to what they were talking about, they walked out of the room, leaving me there like I wasn’t worth shit.

And they would never do that to Leilani.

They would never hurt her the way they constantly hurt me.

I may have never felt heartbreak before, but the way I felt right now... the way my chest felt like it was about to explode right now, I instantly knew that I had finally gotten to experience what heartbreak feels like.

That I now knew exactly how Leilani felt all those years ago.

My chest felt heavy as I stumbled over to Caelum’s bed and with a small cry, I wrapped my arms around his chest, burying my face into the crook of his cold damp neck.

"I miss you." I cried out, "I miss you so much." —Because you were the only one who used to treat me like a princess.

My face fell when he didn’t respond. Goddess, it felt like he wasn’t here anymore... like he was long gone.

Despair enveloped me, almost suffocating me. And in that moment of absolute desperation, I picked up my phone and texted the one person I knew would never abandon me. The one person I knew was still obsessed with me.

Louis.

But besides sex, I also needed him for something important. Something that has to do with ensuring that Leilani disappears for good.

My hand hovered over the surface of my phone for a long time, and after taking deep breaths, I finally had the courage to shoot him a cryptic text.

He replied in less than three minutes— you see, because he’s just as obsessed as I said he was.

It read: "My home."

And I knew what that meant. It meant that I would have to go to his home and I’d rather die than pass up this opportunity to feel good about myself.

Even if it was only temporarily.

I kissed Caelum soundly on the lips and walked out of the room. But when I did, I bumped into Kael and Zevran again.

They turned to look at me when they saw me walk out, but besides shaking their heads, they gave no other indication that they’d seen me.

No one cared to know where I was going. No one cared to see if I was fine. They simply walked away, whilst talking to the doctor; leaving me to wonder what exactly I had done to make everything go wrong like this.

—

Louis, as usual, wasted no time because as soon as I slipped into his house, the first thing he did was press his lips against mine.

His hands roved my body slowly but sensuously, and I could only moan as I let him peel off my stiff jacket from my body, kissing me unrelentingly as it fell over my shoulders and to the floor.

The rest of my clothes followed shortly afterwards, then his; and by the time we finally arrived at his bedroom, we were already frantically pulling at each other. His index finger was buried deep inside my cunt, and his tongue— warm and thick, glided across my body with maniacal speed.

Pleasure shot through my body, coming to settle at my core. I threw my head back wantonly, rubbing my swollen clit over his thigh as he added another finger to the one pleasuring me.

He didn’t stop even as I cried out. If anything, it seemed to spur him on.

Slowly, he lowered me into the bed but just as he moved over to his drawer to get a condom, I sat up, looked him dead in the eye and said the one thing I’d come here for in the first place.

"I want you to kill my sister."

He froze. His hand holding the condom wrap fell to his sides and his widened eyes met mine. He drew in a sharp breath and whispered; "You don’t mean that, do you?"

"I do. I want you to kill her and I won’t let you fuck me until you promise to do it."

Lou’s eyes thinned into fierce slits before traveling from my face to my glistening pussy. He gulped. "Chalice—"

"Will you?"

"It’s very risky," he drawled, sounding unsure; But uncertainty wasn’t what I wanted right now. I wanted results. I wanted Leilani gone.

A shudder ran through me at the thought of killing her myself but whenever I remembered how easily she’d beaten me up, I knew that that was impossible. I snapped; "You should take the risk or fuck off."

Again his eyes travelled lower until they rested between my legs, and for good measures, I dipped my finger into my pussy and threw my head back, moaning as more juice poured out of me.

"Will you...?" I asked again, and this time, Louis didn’t hesitate. He nodded quickly and hissed.

"Yes. Yes, I will!"

And with that, he joined me on the bed, not even bothering with foreplay as he instantly plunged his fat dick into my vagina.

And goddess, it felt so so good!
