Chapter 94: Cheaters And Liars
She tilted her head, her tone turning playful. "Like... why are you still married to Ivy? I mean, if you hate her as much as you say or act, why not get it over with and divorce her already?"
He was quiet for a moment, but his jaw flexed again, and his brows drew slightly together.
"I was thinking about that," he admitted. "While I was driving here."
A smile spread across Eliana’s face. "Exactly. That’s what I’ve been saying. You don’t need Ivy. Or Ruby. Those Quinn girls—they lie, they deceive, they break your heart. And yet you still keep chasing after them. Look at you, before your blindness, you stayed stuck with Ivy despite her overbearing and nonchalant attitude towards you and now, despite being lied to and deceived in your moment of weakness, you’re still going after Ruby. They are both thesame, Stefan. Cheaters and liars, no matter how you put it."
She took a step closer, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. "Why not focus on someone who’s never lied to you? Someone who’ll always be there? Someone that can be loyal and genuine."
He raised an eyebrow, already grasping what she was trying to do. "Who would that be?"
Eliana’s lips curved as she moved to sit beside him on the edge of the bed. "Me," she whispered. "Can’t you see that? I’m the only one on your side, telling you the truth and not lying."
Her hand reached out, brushing gently against his sleeve. "You don’t have to do this alone, Stefan. You deserve someone who truly sees you. Someone who wants you for who you are. Not your money. Not your name. Just you. Someone that won’t betray you for anything."
She leaned in, her lips inches from his. "Let me show you what it’s like to be with someone who won’t betray you."
Her hand reached for his face—but before she could touch him, Stefan stood up abruptly, forcing her to pull back.
"Don’t," he said, voice like ice. "Don’t try that with me."
Not only wasn’t he able to get information but she was trying to seduce him. She indeed had guts.
