Chapter 0055 CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT. ASHANTI’S POV. “And… sleeping beauty finally awakes.” A soft giggle escapes my throat as Tessa’s voice fills my ears. I lazily sit upright and lean against the headboard, stretching my arms and yawning lazily. What a nap I’ve had. “Did I sleep for too long?” I slur with a raspy voice. Tessa calmly tilts her head from side to side with bent lips as she tries to probably recall for how long I’ve been asleep. “Well, I got here at four pm and now it’s six pm so, two hours is what I know you’ve been asleep for. Could be more depending on when you started.” She shrugs. I got on this bed at thirty-thirty pm, meaning I’ve been out for two hours, thirty minutes. Great. Now I’m going to be the night’s watch woman. I won’t get even an ounce of sleep all night. Groaning under my breath, I step down from the bed and go into the bathroom to take a p** “Your name is buzzing all over the H a r e m.” Tessa tells me the moment I sit on my bed again. My brows raise in confusion as I give her a close look.
“My name? What about?” “There’s talk that you seduced and had sex with your sister’s boyfriend of four years.” She says. quietly. I facepalm myself and let out a heavy sigh of exasperation. These girls, including Rhea won’t stop anytime soon, will they? “Oh… that.” I brush my palm over my face and cube my chin between my thumb and index finger. I press my lips shut and chuckle in amusement. My eyes dart over to Tessa and I notice she’s giving me a very serious look. I raise my brows and tilt my head to the side, my eyes trained on her pretty, serious face. “Wait… you don’t think that’s true, do you?” “Let’s say, I’m eager to hear what you have to say about the issue. It’s definitely something that has
happened, but I don’t trust Rhea to have told the entire truth. I want to hear it from your mouth. I’ll believe what you say.” “Why? What if I lie?” “Then I’ll take your lie and stand by you, just like the girls have done with Rhea.” She flashes me a sweet smile. “But I’d rather you don’t lie.” My hand drops from my chin and I intertwine my fingers and caress each thumbnail with the other as I give her a serious look. “Well, this is not a lie. Rhea reversed the roles in the story. She was the one who seduced and had sex with my boyfriend. I caught them the same day Beta Ronald came to recruit us for the Harem.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Tessa lets out a gasp as she covers her mouth with her palm. I nod sadly. Her hand drops from her mouth. “Oh my G o d, that’s horrible. Rhea truly is a tramp! And she has the nerve to vilify you in this story when you’re clearly the victim of her malice. Goodness, she’s the worst!” “You have no idea how terrible Rhea can be. I’m not very bothered by this because she has done worse.” “Wait… does that mean you came here with a broken heart? Because that was just a few days later.” I sigh in exasperation and nod. “Yeah. I did.” It’s true that I came here with a broken heart. The memories of Conrad and Rhea lying naked on Rhea’s bed were still fresh in my mind and because I loved him, his betrayal made my chest hurt like there was a wound in it. But surprisingly, magically, all the pain and loathing disappeared the moment f set eyes on Alpha Reagan. The moment Lena signalled to me that he was our mate. All the feelings I had for Conrad vanished into thin air and the fact that he cheated on me didn’t bother me even one bit and I’ve not even thought about him for once for a while now. And even now that I’m thinking about him, I feel nothing. No pain, no anger, no disgust. Just nothing. It happened like magic, but I’m grateful. And for Alpha Reagan.
Alpha Reagan. He saved me from falling this afternoon at the field. I can still feel his touch on thy waist. It was so soft and gentle, I almost kissed him. The look of concern in his eyes when he tried to find out why I had been crying. He looked worried. He was worried about me. What am I supposed to make of that? Obviously nothing. Snap out of it Ashanti. “You seem lost.” Tessa points out. I smile and shake my head. “I’m fine.” “Are you going to do something about Rhea’s false story?” “Nopity-nope. I’ll just let her have her fun.” “But she’s ruining your reputation in this m . Sooner or later, no one will respect you.”
