Chapter 30-2

"What the hell is going on here?" He yelled from the stairs and I immediately got frightened as I cocked my head back to see him heading towards us,

"Dexter!" Scarlett immediately threw the knife aside and ran towards him. She wrapped her arms around him like a baby and began to cry on his body while I stared at the sight in anger and irritation,

"She..."

"She tried to hurt me, Dexter. She hates me so much because I’ve had your time since you returned. She tried to hurt me, Dexter, and she even called me a bitch!" Scarlett uttered, crying fake tears on his chest while I widened my eyes,

Since Dexter was taller, I raised my gaze to stare at him, waiting for what his response would be,

I hope he wouldn’t believe her like last time and just hear me out first,

"I really don’t know what to do anymore, Dexter. I just want us to get along but your mate is making it hard for me. I’m scared!

I’m so scared of her,"

I scoffed in silence,

There was no fucking way Dexter would believe this pretense right? Because it was fucking so obvious that Scarlett was faking whatever she was doing,

Our eyes didn’t leave each other, but as I stared at him, I couldn’t understand the emotions in his eyes,

What was his response going to be? It was almost as if he didn’t believe her and he was going to take my side this time, but the little hope I had managed to gather from his gaze shattered completely when Dexter wrapped his arms around her body too,

"Let’s go. We have a lot to do today Scarlett." He uttered and she happily giggled at him with her head still on his chest,

"Really? You’ll really take me shopping?" Scarlett uttered, and once again, Dexter’s gaze met mine,

It was almost as if he was trying to see the expression on my face. I took my gaze away from him after a few seconds, fluttering my brows so he wouldn’t notice my eyes were gradually becoming teary,

Did he take her side? It was so stupid because I had almost been stabbed by his precious Scarlett. I was the one who was going to be harmed and not her.

Why did this hurt? Why was this so painful? I had no idea why my chest felt like it was being pierced with tiny needles and my heart beating like crazy. I hated that he took her side so badly,

"Let’s go, I’ve waited forever for this. It’s going to be like old times." Scarlett uttered.

I wanted so much to run away, but my feet remained Frozen at the spot where I was and my gaze couldn’t leave them. She intertwined her arms with his just like Dexter and I had done at the part days ago, and they began walking away,

Before they walked past me, I saw a small smirk on Scarlett’s face before she poked out the tip of her tongue mockingly at me. Once they were outside, my legs turned a bit wobbly, and the tears I had been holding rolled down,

I want to hate him so bad,

I want to not care about what had just happened like old times,

But....b.... but.... But why can’t I?
