Chapter 360-I Misread The Signs
Helanie:
My heart had crumbled into tiny pieces like a cookie. My eyes kept trying to hold back the tears, but there were times when it became too hard for me.
Right before my eyes, Maximus chose Charlotte.
I could only think back and remember when he was convincing me to share my past with him. Imagine if I had done that. We make mistakes when we are emotional and overshare. Thankfully, I didn’t.
But would that help?
Right now, it wouldn’t. Because I was devastated inside my heart. All I could think about was leaving this place and going back to the academy. I couldn’t wait to kick Rayden’s ass.
I began to think about other things to stop myself from crying and drawing attention to myself.
"Helanie!" Emma calling my name turned heads to me, "Are you not going to congratulate her? I know she’s not your cousin, but you two have grown up like cousins. Come on, give her a hug," she stretched her arm out and wiggled her fingers, asking me to go hug Charlotte, who was looking at me with those eyes that said she had won a better position in this family.
"Before that—," Emmet cleared his throat, stepping in front of me, "I would want to congratulate my brother."
