Chapter 41: Wreckage
Selene lunged at him.
Leon didn't move. He just watched, unimpressed, as she beat her fists against his chest.
It took a solid ten seconds before she realized he wasn't fighting back.
Humiliation surged through her veins.
He didn't even care enough to retaliate.
Her fingers clenched the fabric of his shirt, her breaths ragged. She was trembling, her emotions spinning out of control.
"Why won't you fight me? Why won't you fight for me? Is it because you still love her?" she whispered, voice thick with emotion.
Leon reached up, gently prying her fingers off him. His expression softened just for a moment.
"Because, Selene," he murmured, "I gave up diamond to settle with you, a valueless rock."
With that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving her standing amidst the wreckage of her own destruction.
Selene sank to her knees, staring at the mess around her.
