Darren chuckled. "Bet you didn’t see that coming."
"I’ve had enough of Remi," Eros muttered. "She’s boring. Always trying too hard. I’ve tolerated her for years because I had no choice, but now... now I might finally have a way out."
My blood turned cold.
"She’s just so... desperate," Eros added, his tone dripping with disdain. "Always planning these stupid surprises, thinking they’ll make a difference."
I clutched the edge of the box, my knuckles white. My breath hitched as tears pricked my eyes.
"Speaking of which," Eros continued with a sneer, "there’s a giant gift box in the room. Probably one of her idiotic attempts to impress me. I don’t even want to open it."
Darren laughed. "Classic Remi."
I bit down hard on my lip to keep from sobbing. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces. Everything I had done, everything I had planned—it was all for him. To see him smile, to feel even a fraction of his love. But now I realized he never saw me. Not as a partner. Not as his Luna. Not as anything.
