Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed With Three Mates: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Keith’s POV Veronika held my hand and dragged me outside my bedroom. Pushing me against the wall next to the frame of the door, she started undoing the buttons of my shirt. Too startled by her sudden move, I was frozen to my spot. My eyes widened, and I sucked my breath as my gaze landed on Veronika. Her gaze met mine for a second. Then she looked away. I tried to push Veronika away, but she had me trapped. Her lips curved in a greasy smile as she undid the third and fourth button. My fingers clenched into tight fists, and my teeth gnashed together. She was taking this a bit too far. If she continued in this vein, I would end up exploding. “Veronika?” Melinda called out as she walked over to us. “I am here.” “Hmm…” She grunted and she continued to undo the rest of the buttons. Pressing her palm against my chest, she said, “Go ahead, kneel down. What are you waiting for?”My chest clenched painfully and my eyebrows bunched together in a deep frown. Enough was enough! I couldn’t pre

Melinda’s POV “You think you are very clever, don’t you?” Veronika taunted as we walked along the aisle of the store. “Sorry?” My steps faltered, and I turned around to look at her. “Did I do something wrong?” “It was your idea, right?” “My idea?” She grabbed my hair and tugged, pulling me closer. Her eyes bore into mine and she gritted out, “Stop pretending, Melinda. I just want to know why.” Wincing, I tried to free myself from her grip, but she tightened her hold on my hair and tilted my head backward. “If you continue pretending, I swear I will turn you into dust. Now, tell me why you told Keith to give me roses lest I am tempted to shock you to death.” A sense of dread gripped me, looking at her glazed expression. What if she really used magic on me? Thinking quickly, I gave her the most plausible reason I could come up with. “You know that Keith hates me to the core… I just wanted….” I swallowed hard and looked at her with the best pitiful expression I could manage. “Whe

Keith’s POV “Darling,” Veronika said, walking into my room. Lacing her arms around my neck, she added, “Miss me?”“Not really.” I said in a nonchalant voice. “I was too busy to think about you.”Her eyebrows furrowed together, and her face flushed with anger. “What is that supposed to mean? Is work more important to you now?“There is nothing like that.” I said in a soothing voice, trying to placate her. “I was busy buying a gift for you.” Looking at her expectantly, I pulled out a box from my pocket and opened it. The single diamond caught the glint of moonlight, shining brightly.Her eyes lit up, and her lips curved in a greasy smile. She picked out the ring and slid it onto her finger. “This is beautiful.”“I knew you would like it.” I smiled at her and carefully extracted myself from her arms. “

Keith’s POV “Shall I give you a suggestion? Take that bowl from the maid and feed the poison to Melinda with your own hands. You never know. I might reward you by letting your mother attend our wedding.” Veronika’s words rang in my head, making my mind go blank. A ringing noise filled my ears with a strange buzz. My gaze drifted from the bowl to Melinda. On one hand was my soul mate whom I loved more than my life on the other was my mom who had given me this life. Killing either of them could never be an option. My eyes snapped towards Veronika, who was sitting on the throne seat, sipping her wine leisurely. The moment our gazes met, the choice I had to make became stark clear. If I were to drink the poison instead of Melinda, all her plans would turn into dust. My eyes lit up with determination, and I made my way towards the maid. But before I could take the bowl from her, Melinda whisked it out of the maid’s hand. “Let me do this, Keith.” Her lips curved into a wry smile, and h

Keith’s POV “Your five minutes are up, Miss Fake.” Kramen said, tapping his watch. “Why can’t I see your cult members barging into our packhouse?” He clicked his tongue and mocked, “Seems like they have given up on you after all.”Veronika remained unperturbed by his comment. Shrugging, she replied in a nonchalant voice, “So what if the leaders of Four Petalled Plum Blossom have betrayed me? Jasper must have seen the sign too. He will be here any moment.”“Sorry to burst your bubble, Fakey. But today nobody will come to your rescue.” Kain said as he walked into the room, his lips curving into a bright smile. “Jasper ran into me a while ago and now he is locked up in the dungeons.”“Kain Rivers, the youngest of the three brothers.” Veronika stated, looking at him with a weird expression. “I hadn’t expected to see you.” Supporting her head against her palm, she continued, “But, it is a good thing that you came. All brothers must gather for marriages and funerals.”“What marriage? What
