Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: His Room

Olivia’s POV

"I said, step back." Lennox yelled again. This time his rage-filled voice echoed through the hall of the room.

I faltered hard but didn’t take a step away; instead, my gaze stayed locked on Lennox, who was already halfway out of his wheelchair. My heart sank, and all I wanted to do was run to him and help him up.

Annabella came up to me and frowned. "With all due respect. Please, you have to leave."

I glared at her, but before I could speak, she continued. "This is not good for the patient... for his health’s sake, you must leave." She wasn’t pleading; her words were orders.

My wolf howled angrily inside me, but I knew she was right; right now I had to respect Lennox’s wish.

Glancing at him one more time, my heart twisted, and I forced myself to turn away and leave.

Outside Lennox’s door I leaned against it, and a tear rolled down, but I quickly wiped it off.. Now wasn’t the time to cry... now was the time for action.

Gathering myself and my emotions, I made my way to the dining table, and on getting there I saw everyone was there. Everyone was there except Levi.

Leo smiled at me. "Good morning, Mom." He greeted.

His brothers Liam and Leo joined. "Good morning, Mom."

I smiled as I responded to their greetings with kisses on their cheeks.

Liam started. "Is Father Lennox not going for breakfast?" He asked while his curious eyes stayed fixed on me.

I weakly responded while putting on the best composure I could. "He is still resting; let’s let him be."

The look Louis gave me told me he knew I was lying.

Leon joined. "Father Levi isn’t down yet for breakfast."

I nodded. "I’ll go call him... he must be so busy. Just eat your meal... don’t wait for us."

I said, and with that I turned and took the direction to Levi’s room.

Reaching his room.

I knocked softly.

"Levi...?"

No answer.

I waited a few seconds and knocked again, a little louder.

"Levi, it’s me... open the door."

Still nothing.

My chest tightened. Something didn’t feel right. The silence... the stillness... it wasn’t normal. After everything that happened yesterday, he should’ve been awake. Or pacing. Or growling. Not silent like this.

I tried the handle.

Locked.

Of course.

Levi always locked his door when he wanted to block the world out... and today... today he had every reason to.

I leaned my forehead on the door.

"Levi... please," I whispered.

Nothing.

No footsteps. No movement. No sound.

Just silence.

Fear crawled slowly into my chest.

I took a step back, placed my palm on the door, and pressed my energy into the lock. The door clicked open instantly.

I pushed it gently and walked inside.

The smell hit me first.

Alcohol.

Strong. Heavy. Bitter.

My heart sank.

The room was dim. The curtains were still drawn. The clothes he wore last night were on the floor. His shoes were scattered. A chair was knocked over.

And Levi... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Levi was lying on the bed.

Still fully dressed. One arm dangling off the side. His shirt wrinkled. His hair messy. His breathing soft but uneven... like he had cried himself to sleep.

My chest twisted painfully.

"Levi..." I whispered and stepped closer.

He didn’t move.

Empty bottles were on the floor—two, maybe three. My eyes burned.

He drank. He actually drank.

Levi never drank unless he was drowning inside.

I walked closer and sat gently on the edge of the bed. His face was turned toward the pillow... eyes swollen... eyelashes wet. He had cried until he passed out.

My heart cracked.

"Levi... why did you do this to yourself..." I whispered, brushing a strand of hair off his forehead.
