Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 382 The Show Must Go On

Heidi’s eyes lit up with surprise as she asked eagerly, “ally? She was completely oblivious to the silent exchange between Caden and me and she thought hertle act had worked.

She bit her lip and softened her voice as she continued her pitiful act. “Caden, you wouldn’t abandon me, would you?”

“I wouldn’t.” Caden smiled faintly, His usually cold and distant face showed a rare hint of gentleness.

Hope flashed across Heidi’s face, but she quickly masked it with another layer of false despair. “Forget it, Caden… living is too painful. I really wanted to sincerely bless you and Rosaline, but… I just can’t. I don’t know why my heart hurts so much…

She choked on a sob, then continued, “I don’t understand… I was the one who met you first. You even told me that you would marry me when we grew up. Maybe… maybe this is my punishment for all the mistakes I’ve made. That’s why fate is so cruel to me…

With every word, she inched backward, step by step, until she was teetering on the very edge of the rooftop.

Her frail body swayed dangerously as if the slightest breeze could send her plunging into the abyss below. She was just a step away from falling.

Gasps filled the air as the gathered doctors, nurses, and onlookers panicked. “Mr. Holbrook, please, say something to give Ms. Tessford a reason to live! Please do that first!”

I watched coldly and shot Caden a look. “If you say it, we’re done, I said.

A nearby werewolf nurse turned to me with an expression of pure disapproval. “Ms. Sinclair, this is a human life we’re talking about! How can you be so heartless?”

“And I’m just supposed to stand by and let her steal my ancé with this pathetic stunt?” I shot back.

The nurse fell silent.

Heidi’s POV:

I never expected Rosaline to be this ruthless.

I clenched my fists in frustration. That Omega b*tch was blatantly challenging me!

Hmph. I won’t lose.

Biting my lip, I steeled myself and inched even closer to the ledge, determined to push Caden’s limits.
