The Lycan King’s Second Chance Mate (Ashanti) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 0021

ASHANTI’S POV.

I try to stay strong as I scrub the floor. I try to keep myself from crying, but whenever the broken image of the framed photo flashes in my mind, it makes my heart hurt until I can’t take it anymore. I let my tears fall and sob like a baby.

That was the only beautiful thing I had left of my family. That framed picture of my mum, dad and me, smiling heartily, but now it’s ruined by the same person who ruined my family in the first place. I swear, I could have killed her if people had not intervened.

Rhea is the bane of my existence!

“Ashanti.” A familiar voice calls from the door and the next thing I hear is footsteps approaching me. I quickly wipe my tears away and calm my breaths before turning to look. As expected, I see Tessal walking towards me with a worried look on her face.

“Tessa.” I call with a shaky voice as I rise to my feet. “How did you know I was here?” She stops in front of me and examines my face. My eyes are definitely red and swollen. She knows I’ve been crying because her face suddenly falls and she lets out a heavy sigh.

“The girls here talk too much. I overheard them gossiping about what happened and I’m happy you at least got to teach that brat a lesson for

destroying something so dear to you.” I sigh as my shoulders fall.

“I still got punished and my reputation is in the mud right now. I’m damned in this Harem.” I lament as I slump on a dry spot on the floor.

“I cleaned the mess in the room and kept the picture on your nightstand. You can alway make another frame.” She flashes me a small smile. I want to. I really want to reciprocate that smile, but I can’t bring myself to do so right now. I am too angry and heartbroken to do that. So I simply nod my head and thank her immensely.

“For nothing.” She says with a shrug and heads to the bucket of water I was using to mop the floor. ” Come on, let’s get this done with so we can make it in time for dinner.”

I rise to my feet with a perplexed look on my face.

“What are you doing?” I ask, approaching her as she uses the floor mop to mop the floor.

“Have you suddenly gone blind that you can’t see what I’m doing?”

“I… I can’t let you help me?”

“But you will anyway.” She squeezes the mod and proceeds to dry the area she just mopped.

“You’ve been cleaning all day, I can’t let you…”

“For by’s sake, Ashanti, just get another mopa

bucket of water and join me. Nothing you say will make me leave this place without you.” She backs me and rides on with moping. Tears well up in my eyes yet again and I blink hard to keep them from spilling down my cheeks.
