Chapter 135

ASHANTI’S POV.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me. Before Nelly started acting up, we didn’t have any sort of misunderstanding. She just woke up Did she threaten Nelly? Did she promise her something?

How the hell was she able to turn Nelly against me so quickly?

“We’re here.” Delta Kyle’s announcement jabs me out of my thoughts. I stop walking, look at him and smile.

“Thank you very much for accompanying me back here.”

“You don’t have to thank me, Ashanti. I had a good time talking with you all the way here.” He’s smiling as usual and I’m trying hard to keep myself from We’ve grown apart in the last few weeks. He no longer checks on me regularly or proposes walks with me, so I’m happy he did this today.

I’ve missed him.

“You should go in and rest.” I tear my gaze away from his handsome face and nod “Yeah. I should. Good bye. See you tomorrow.”

my head.

“See you tomorrow, love.” He gives me a gentle pat on my shoulder and walks away, smiling. I’m grinning as I watch him majestically saunter away from the premises.

I’m still finding it hard to believe that man is related to Alina. Were they actually raised in the same household by the same parents? I highly doubt that. Kyle was raised by angels. Alina on the other hand, is the devil himself who has transform Sighing heavi building.

push the sibling shenanigans at the back of my mind and go into the I’m surprised to get into the bedroom and meet Tessa lying on the bed. It’s either she didn’t go for training today or she came back early.

“Hello Tess.” I greet, putting on my brightest smile.

“Hello Ashanti.” She doesn’t spare me a glance. Nelly has not been the only one ignoring my existence these past days, Tessa has as well.

Right!

Alina might be in on this too.

She definitely has a hand in the reason why Tessa is suddenly being so…

Wait.

Wait.

Hold up.

I pause in my tracks when something in the nearby trash can catches my attention. Slowly, I walk over to it and my heart relocates to my stomach when It is in fact the bracelet.

“Tessa.” I call as I stoop down and pick up the bracelet from the trash can, staring at it in awe. My heart is beating so fast, I can’t breathe properly. “Tessa “Oh… that.” She sits upright on the bed. “I didn’t want to put it on anymore that’s why I threw it away.

“You what?”

“I threw it away.” She says carelessly. She looks so unbothered. There’s no iota of guilt in her tone. She’s glaring at me as though she has done nothing “You just decided to throw it away?”

“I believe that’s what I said.”

“But Tessa I…” Tears well up in my eyes. A painful lump forms in my throat. “I told you how much this bracelet means to me. If you didn’t want to put it on Tessa threw away the bracelet I gave her just a few days ago. She’s talking to me like we’ve never been friends before. Her tone, her words, the look in “That skipped my mind.” She steps down from the bed.

“Please Ashanti. I’ve had a long long day and if you’re going to nag me right now, I’ll just leave.” Then she storms out of the bedroom.

I look at the bracelet in my hand and then at the door she just exited, unable to comprehend what just happened.

Is this how it ends?

Am I back to being friendless?

And Tessa.

Tessa of all people. How could she do this to me?
