Counterback of the Despised Lona Chapter 37 Cousin Queenies POV : Fincheit I woke up in the middle of the night , hearing what seemed like some noise coming from the living room , so I got up to check . To my surprise , as soon as I stepped out of my room , aw Rosaline and Caden walking up the stairs , closely holding each other . A closer look revealed that Caden was reeking of alcohol he was drunk . I was so shocked that I felt my eyes might pop out . Since I arrived at Eclipse Pack when I was seven , I had never seen Caden drunk before . Now , not only was he intoxicated , but he was also being supported by Rosaline , with his whole body leaning into hers . I was certain that Rosaline was behind this she must be trying to seduce Caden . Unable to contain myself , I strode over and grabbed Rosalines arm . What are you doing , getting Caden drunk in the middle of the night ? Are you trying to take advantage of him ? Rosaline looked at me with a calm , indifferent expression . Tm Cadens fiancée . Hes mine , and I dont need to get him drunk to seduce him . Youre I was at a loss for words , biting my lip and following behind Rosaline . Caden doesnt need you to help him , let me do it . Fine , then , Rosaline said , unexpectedly pushing Cader toward me . Caden , are you all right ? I asked , both surprised and relieved as I caught him . This was the closest Id ever been to him . The strong smell of alcohol mixed with his masculine scent . made my heart race . But he was so heavy , I had to use both hands to support him . Rosaline smiled at me , shook her head , and turned to walk back to her room . I struggled to help Caden onto the bed , then carefully removed his shoes . Caden , whats going on ? Why did you drink so much ? Caden opened his eyes just a bit , and in his dazed state , he mumbled , Youre not Tessa . What ? Caden , what did you say ? I couldnt hear him clearly , so I asked again . But Caden just closed his eyes and quickly drifted off into a deep sleep . Sitting at the edge of the bed . I stared at his handsome face , mesmerized . In his deep sleep , his facial features were softer than usual less stern and more relaxed but st strikingly handsome . The sight made my heart flutter . 1/3 Chapter 32 Cousin Finished Caden , why do you always ignore me ? I dont want to just be your cousin , I said softly , gently caressing hist face . I had liked Caden ever since I was 14 when I first started developing feelings . I had liked him even back then . But he only ever saw me as his cousin , a little sister , treating me with indifference . The truth was , I wasnt his cousin 1 was adopted . I also had the right to be his Lana . Looking at Cadens peaceful sleeping face , I could no longer hold back and leaned down , gently kissing him . Rosalines POV : Back in my room , I couldnt stop thinking about the look Queenie had given me earlier . I knew exactly what it meant . I had seen that look in Wendys eyes before , and also in Stellas. Does Queenie like Caden ? But isnt Queenie Cadens cousin ? Queenie and Caden share blood ties . I shook my head , thinking their relationship was so complicated . No wonder Caden treated me the way he did . He probably flirted with young girls all the time , and now even his cousin was falling for him . I suddenly realized I was holding a diamond button in my hand . It was the button from Cadens suit sleeve . It must have come off during our earlier scuffle . After a moments thought , I turned and headed to Cadens room , planning to return it . I didnt want to be accused of stealing again . Cadens door was slightly ajar , and I gently pushed it open . Caden … Before I could finish my sentence , I froze in shock at the sight before me . Queenie was kissing Caden . When she heard the noise , Queenie quickly pulled away , and when she saw me standing at the door , she panicked . I confronted her . Queenie , what do you think youre doing ? Cueenies evec briefly flickered with ouilt before the foured herself to set calm . Caden was drunk . I wis 2/3 09:57 Fri , Mar 14 Chapter 37 Cousin just wiping his mouth . So , you were using your mouth to wipe ? I said sarcastically . Cadens eyes were closed , his breathing steady . He seemed to be asleep . He was so drunk , he probably wouldnt even remember what Queenie had done to him . Finished I couldnt help but wonder if these two had some secret relationship , but I quickly dismissed the thought . Earlier , Caden had been calling out for Tessa . That had to be something to do with her , not Queenie . And besides , with Cadens status , there was no way he would engage in an incestuous relationship with a cousin . So this must be Queenies one sided infatuation . I dont spread any nonsense ! After I exposed her thoughts , Queenie seemed flustered . | you , I glanced at her coldly . Im not interested in watching your live show , but Queenie , let me warn you- while I still live here and havent broken off my engagement with Caden , youd better keep those dirty thoughts to yourself , or else … I paused , locking eyes with her . If your forbidden relationship with Caden becomes the next trending topic , the consequences will be on you . Rosaline , youve gone too far ! Queenies face changed , and she jumped up from the bed , raising her hand to slap me across the face . I laughed coldly and grabbed her arm , shoving her back with force . She stumbled and fell to the ground . Rosaline , how dare you hit me ? Queenie cried , her face burning with anger from the fall . And what if I did ? I took a step forward . Queenie quickly retreated several steps . I smirked and turned , walking away without a second glance . Back in my room , the more I thought about it , the stranger it felt , so I texted Anthony .
