Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2496

Luna snapped coldly, "Shut up! If you have feelings for him, too, then don't you dare talk about him like that. You're right, Valerie. I do like Andrew. People have always said we're competing, but honestly, I never wanted to compete with you for anything. Whatever you want, you can have it. But when it comes to Andrew, if you try to play games with me, I'll make sure you regret it."

Valerie let out a sharp laugh. "Wow, Luna. That's rare coming from you. You've always been the silent type, ruthless but quiet, never wasting words. And yet here you are, yelling because of a man. Seems like you've really fallen deep."

She continued, "But I told you already… I'm not letting you win. You like Andrew and want him for yourself? Then I'll take him from you just to watch you squirm."

Luna's tone stayed calm, but her words carried weight. "You can try to steal him or use whatever dirty tricks you want, I don't care. But I hope whatever you're doing is genuine, not just out of spite or some twisted need to one-up me."

Valerie laughed bitterly. "Whatever my reasons are, that's my business. You don't get to tell me what's right or wrong. All you need to know is that I'm in this now, and I'm not backing off. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you… Andrew already has my body. Which means I already belong to him. So stop dreaming, Luna."

Luna said nothing. She just stared at Valerie, expressionless.

The silence seemed to bother Valerie, who shrugged, clearly unimpressed, and turned to leave. But as soon as she stepped out, Luna's lips parted slightly, and a thin line of blood slipped down her chin.

She felt utterly drained.

She had always been simple, a woman who thought only about her training and her future. That purity was what made her strong. But now, because of Andrew, that purity was broken, and a person who lost their purity was bound to get hurt.

Luna's heart felt like it was being torn apart 1000 times over.
