Chapter 35
Diana's POV
"Gabriel... Dalia..." I whispered at first‚ my voice barely coming out. They didn't hear me. They were too caught up in each other. Dalia's moans filled the room‚ loud and desperate.
"Uhn‚ yes‚ Gabriel! Harder—fuck!" she cried out. Gabriel pushed deeper into her‚ his body moving fast. I stood there‚ frozen in the doorway. My heart pounded hard in my chest.
This couldn't be real.
My fiancé and my sister?
Together like this?
I couldn't watch anymore.
The pain twisted inside me.
"Gabriel! Dalia!" I yelled‚ my voice breaking through the air. They stopped suddenly. Their heads snapped toward the door. Their eyes widened when they saw me standing there.
"Shit!" Gabriel shouted‚ pulling out of her quickly.
"Fuck!" Dalia gasped‚ scrambling away from him.
They both jumped off the bed in a panic. Gabriel grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around his waist. Dalia snatched a pillow and held it against her chest. They moved so fast‚ bumping into each other‚ trying to hide their naked bodies. The room smelled of sweat and sex‚ hitting me like a wave. I felt sick.
"Fuck!" Gabriel said again‚ his face turning red. He stepped forward‚ the blanket slipping a little. "Di! Fuck! I'm sorry... I don't know what to say. I fucked up‚ I know. But please‚ if you can find a place in your heart—"
I couldn't listen. My eyes shifted to Dalia. She sat on the edge of the bed‚ clutching the pillow tight. Her face was flushed‚ and she wouldn't look at me. She fidgeted with her hands‚ twisting her fingers together. Nervous sweat beaded on her forehead. She bit her lip‚ staring at the floor. Betrayal burned through me like fire. My sister‚ the one person I trusted most. And Gabriel‚ the man I was supposed to marry.
Tears stung my eyes. I turned and ran. My feet pounded down the hall. I burst into my room and slammed the door shut. The bang echoed in my ears. I locked it with shaking hands. My back pressed against the wood as I slid down to the floor. Sobs wracked my body.
What was happening?
I came home to talk‚ to share my pain about Isaac to Dalia. About the mate bond. About losing my virginity to him. But instead‚ she was sleeping with my fiance?
I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them tight. My mind raced. Images flashed: Isaac's hands on me‚ his body claiming mine. The pleasure mixed with guilt. Then Gabriel with Dalia‚ thrusting into her like he never did with me.
Anger boiled up. I stood and paced the room. My hands clenched into fists. How could they? Dalia knew everything about Gabriel and me. She knew he was betrothed to me. She teased me about it. And Gabriel? He promised me forever.
I stopped at the mirror and stared at my reflection. My eyes were red‚ face streaked with tears. My hair was a mess from running my fingers through it earlier on the bus. The ache between my legs reminded me of Isaac again. Double betrayal. I cheated first‚ but this? This was worse. Family. Fiancé. Both gone in one day.
Frustration hit hard. I grabbed a pillow from my bed and threw it across the room. It hit the wall with a soft thud. Not enough. I picked up a book from my nightstand and hurled it too. Pages fluttered as it opened on the floor. "Why?" I muttered‚ my voice hoarse.
I sank onto the bed and buried my face in my hands. Tears soaked my palms. Memories flooded in. Dalia and I as kids‚ sharing out secrets together. Gabriel's smile when we were betrothed to each other. Now‚ all tainted. I felt so alone. Isaac's face popped into my mind. My mate. But even that brought confusion. Did I want him? After what he did?
