The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 23

Diana’s pov

I squatted on the ground and picked up the scattered pearls one by one.

Many of them were worn and lost their luster due to being stepped on by Avia.

My heart ached deeply.

I held back my tears and put away all the beads, turning around to leave this place that made me nauseous.

Nathan grabbed my wrist, his eyes filled with regret.

“Diana, I didn’t mean to, I –”

“Don’t f**king touch me!” I shouted.

Tears could no longer be controlled, sliding down my cheeks.

I looked at the man in front of me, who I had loved with all my heart for two years, and smiled sarcastically.

I turned my head aside, trying to calm the inner turmoil, and then spoke to him in the calmest tone possible–

“A year ago, you broke my mother’s necklace for a woman. A year later, you broke my mother’s bracelet for another woman. I really regret… I really regret meeting you. Nathan, if there were another chance, I would never fall in love with you. I would transfer the money of the bracelet to you. 800 million. There won’t be a cent less. From then on, I have nothing to do with you!”

Nathan was stunned by my words..

I shook him off with force and, in his shocked gaze, left the hotel without looking back

Returning home, I felt as if I had lost all my strength.

I nestled in the sofa in the living room, curled up together and didn’t want to say a word.

The sound of footsteps came from behind.

Someone touched my head.
