The Rise Of The Ugly Luna novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241

LYRIC

Mr. Ming continued with the tour, but I barely paid any more attention and instead, focused on breathing properly again.

Despite my guts warning me not to, my eyes kept stealing glances at Jaris from time to time.

He and Hua were growing more touchy. She even drank from his glass and he didn’t seem to mind!

What bothered me the most wasn’t just the girl. It was the fact that Jaris didn’t seem like he was faking it. He looked like someone who had truly moved on and was having fun at a party.

I didn’t know if Caden was aware I was still stealing glances at him. I didn’t even care.

Gradually, the more I watched Jaris and the girl being more affectionate, it started to make sense to me–why I was so affected by the sight.

While I’d Siphoned Jaris‘ memory and hoped he’d move on, I wasn’t ready to do so myself. I hated the idea of him being with another woman. Right now, I was so angry I wished I could Siphon the oxygen out of Hua’s lungs.

It didn’t seem like Mr. Ming would be done with his introductions anytime soon. It was getting harder to breathe here. Gods, I needed to leave.

With Caden’s grip being a little relaxed, I forced myself away from his hold.

“I need to use that restroom now.” I walked away before he’d try to object.

The floor beneath me appeared a little blurry as I walked. My heels suddenly seemed too high and uncomfortable that I wanted to take them off.

I’d seen the restroom sign on my way here. It wasn’t far from the door.

But trying to reach it now, it seemed like it was in a different city.

Was this what it felt like to have a panic attack? It definitely wasn’t a good feeling.

My memories were a little blur the moment I found the restroom sign. One second, it seemed like I was trying to touch the door, and the next second I was by the sink.

I inhaled severally, in and out. Continuously until I could finally breathe properly and broke into tears.

It hurt. Gods, it fucking hurt.

I thought I was prepared for this. For six months, all I’ve had to deal with was the guilt, pain, loneliness and suffering. It seemed manageable.

But tonight, I got to deal with losing him to someone else. And that fucking hurt.

I wanted Jaris forever. I realized only now that my stupid heart could only beat for him. He was my first and I wanted him to be my last. I wanted to be the only one he’d touch; the only one he’d smile at. I wanted to be the one beside him rather than Hua.

Fuck, I was so unlucky.

I wept for sometime, getting the painful emotions off my chest. Thank goodness I didn’t have any strong makeup on. Caden would’ve probably killed me.

I was wiping my face when someone entered the restroom. Looking through the mirror, a chill settled in my heart when I came face to face with Hua.

She paused at the door, ran her gaze through me from head to toe, then popped the gum in her mouth before resuming her walk into the restroom. Fortunately, I was done wiping the tears off my face. Though my eyes could still give me away.

Chapter 241

I disposed of the wipes and washed my hands as Hua washed here. She was standing right beside me, the both of us not saying a word to the other. Yo the tension between us was loud enough.

Z

Ipondered which of us was going to break the pregnant silence? It turned out to be her

“You know, I really can’t understand how a person can be so shameless. Sleeping with two brothers?” She scoffed. “What were you thinking/

Surprise pulled my brows together. What on earth gave her the impression that she could talk to me?

“Why don’t you focus on your life and stop poke–nosing? It’d help a lot,” I turned to her and snapped, my hands dripping with water.

“Oh, please,” she huffed. “I have a lot of people handling business already. Who’s handling yours? Because you seem to be making the wrong decisions.

She moved to the dryer. “Even if you had to choose, how could you seriously choose someone else over Jaris? I mean, it’s Jaris we talking about.” She shook her head. “That guy is a walking dream. You had him to yourself and all you did was betray him? You even killed his mother? You’re sure lucky to be alive.”

Done drying her hands, she crossed them as she faced me.

“He won’t even talk about you, you know? It’s as if you don’t even exist to him.”

I tried as hard as I could to mask the sting her words brought.

“Yet, you’re so concerned and won’t stop talking about his ex?” I tilted my head. “Seems like you have a problem.”

“Oh, please. I’ve just been curious to hear from the fool’s mouth.” Her eyes were so cold and full of intimidation. “I saw how you looked at him at the party. Seems it’s you who hasn’t moved on.”

Taking a deep breath, I went closer to her, mentally reminding myself that she was Ming’s daughter and it wouldn’t be right to hurt her.

“Hua, you don’t know half of our story. The things that actually happened, you and your poor source can only get the half version of it. I don’t see a reason why you’re so concerned about me when you’re by his side. Why don’t you pay attention to him and stop obsessing over an ex he’s already moved on from?”

She maintained a straight face, though her eyes held amusement and mockery.

Gods, I was done with her. One more second and I might actually haye to kill this girl.

I turned toward the door, ready to leave.

“If I were you, I’d leave the party. You’re upsetting him if you haven’t noticed.”

Her words stopped me for some seconds, long enough to realize she was actually right.

I was exhausted and done with this place. I couldn’t wait to sign the damn contract by morning and get out!

I angrily left the restroom.

But down the hallway leading to the rooftop, I came face to face with him.

Every thought I had about wanting to leave the next morning completely vanished, replaced only by thoughts of him. Jaris.
