The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story Chapter 6
Chapter 0006 “How long did you wait, Piper? A week? Two? It couldn’t have been long.” He sounds like he’s jealous. Or was that an illusion? He doesn’t care about me and is just mad at me. Maybe the latter is more logical. His dark eyes burned into me, leaving my heart in scorched tatters. Never in a thousand years would i have thought Nicholas would be so vicious to me. “It wasn’t like that.” I said, to try to defend myself. He crossed his hands over his chest. He wasn’t going to listen to me, “Why even come here?” he asked me. “My application was selected…” “Why even apply? Were you trying to get to me?” “No,” I said. “Maybe you regret your child’s father. Maybe you want me back.” He laughed once, bitterly. “Like you have a chance.” The words sliced into me as surely as if he’d been holding a knife. He had changed since I’d known him. Three w years ago, he’d been kind and patient. I’d given him my heart and he’d gently cradled it. So many nights, we’d laid under the stars, trading kisses and stories. Once, when he’d spent all night looking at me, I had told him, “You’re missing the starlight.” He’d replied, “I can see it in your eyes.” The man before me now was nothing like the one I had known. The man here was arrogant, indifferent. and imposing in how he carried himself. Breaking up with him had never been something I wanted to do. It hurt me still, thinking upon it, so I had tried to push it to the back of my thoughts Thad so many other things to focus on like work, and caring for Elva, that I could successfully distract myself from the pain of his loss. Being faced with him now and seeing what he had become, brought all those feelings crashing back into Tome so hard, they stole my breath away. +15 BONUS He was so different now that I couldn’t help but wonder if I was misremembering the past. Maybe he’d never been kind. Maybe I had been too naïve then, Well, I wasn’t that young, innocent girl anymore. “Believe whatever you want,” I said, adding some bite to my own voice. The hurt made it easier. “Being here is a mistake, and I intend to correct it.” “Good,” Nicholas said, so coldly that a chill ran along my spine. “You are the only woman who ever dared to break up with me. Piper. I’ll never allow the same mistake to happen again.” He turned and left me, then, walking out into the sitting room, and then out into the parlor. I thought he might slam the door behind him, as enraged as he was, but instead, he gently closed it. Elva continued resting, undisturbed. I wanted to hate him. So much. But he hadn’t slammed that door. He might be a cruel, insensitive bastard but he liked children. He’d been kind to Elva. He didn’t take any of his misconceptions about me out on her. I wanted to hate him, but I couldn’t. I sunk to my knees beside the couch where Elva slept. In a different world, maybe Elva would have been our child. If we had stayed together, maybe he would have revealed his secret in time. Maybe the three of us could have been a happy little family. It was a nice fantasy. But it wasn’t reality. My reality was very far from these golden fixtures and expensive gowns, I was wasting time, staying here. I needed to go home and look for another job, as soon as possible. I Sighing, I rested my head beside Elva’s on the cushion. I was so drained, from the trip, from seeing Nicholas again, from… everything. Too quickly, my own eyes slid closed. Excuse me Excuse me, miss? I blinked open my eyes. The nervous official hovered over me. I beg your pardon, miss, but the King Luna, and princes have arrived, I suggest you hurry to the parlor at once […]
