Chapter 0138
Her words throw me off. How long has this been going on? How long had Gianna secretly been wishing

that Abby wasn’t in the picture? And how many lengths has she attempted to go to in order to ensure

that Abby can’t be in the picture?

I lean in, my voice tinged with both annoyance and incredulity. “My choices, especially about who I

choose as my Luna, are not up for debate or discussion. Not by you, not by anyone. I intend to bring

Abby back into my life. She deserves that spot, and nothing you say or do will change that. Do you

words, I wish that she hadn’t. “It’s not just that I think you can do better. I…I have feelings for you, Karl.”
