Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201: 201-Everyone Chooses Me

Helanie:

"What are you doing?" Lamar asked as I sped back to the hostel to catch Salem and Gavin. I didn’t know why I was doing that.

"They have rejected each other, so they can—" Lamar shut up when I suddenly stopped in my tracks and turned around to glare at him.

"Okay, I’ll come with you," he muttered, using a gentle and understanding tone now.

"I’m not going there to reconcile. I’m going to let him know that our friendship is over. He made his bed with my enemies," I hissed, briskly making my way to the hostel.

Kaye’s class would start in ten minutes, so I planned to be back by then—if only I could find Gavin and Salem together.

I know everyone might be thinking why I was so harsh toward Salem and not when Lucy had slept with Lamar. The difference was that I was in a different state back then. Today, I was all messed up, feeling this rage in me that I couldn’t express fully.

My brain didn’t allow me to forgive Salem, and she never apologized either. It was like she just expected me to reset my mind about her after she messed up every time.

Now, as I faced Rayden, I realized I didn’t want to forgive anyone.

I just wanted revenge.

And just like I had expected, the minute Lamar and I stepped into the hostel, we encountered the two together.

Gavin stood with his back against the wall while Salem was blocking his path with her hands on the wall.

"Tell me," she raised her voice, and we decided not to step into their fight.

"You’ve been asking me the same question for the past hour, and I don’t know what to say to you," Gavin sounded exhausted, but his eyes told me he really liked Salem.

"That’s because you keep dodging me for an hour! Why were you hiding from me in the hostel? Did you really think you could leave without me catching you?" She turned her hands into little fists and slammed her fist on the wall near him.

"Why are you avoiding me?" she posed the question again, and Gavin sighed in response. I could tell he was finally going to answer because I saw him gulp.

"Because my friends don’t like you," he responded, and I watched her body tense up.

"What’s that supposed to mean?" I could hear a little sadness in her voice this time, not the usual commanding tone she used.

"Salem, you’ve messed up so many times with Helanie that I don’t think my friends would accept me in their group if they found out we were dating. So, it’s better we just stop seeing each other. Let’s call that moment one big mistake and move on." He finally raised his voice and set himself free by sidestepping away from her arms.
