Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 382 The Show Must Go On Heidi's eyes lit up with surprise as she asked eagerly, “ally? She was completely oblivious to the silent exchange between Caden andand she thought hertle act had worked.

She bit her lip and softened her voice as she continued her pitiful act. "Caden, you wouldn't abandon me, would you?" "I wouldn't." Caden smiled faintly, His usually cold and distant face showed a rare hint of gentleness.

0 Hope flashed across Heidi's face, but she quickly masked it with another layer of false despair. "Forget it, Caden... living is too painful. I really wanted to sincerely bless you and Rosaline, but... I just can't. I don't know why my heart hurts so much...

She choked on a sob, then continued, "I don't understand... I was the one who met you first. You even toldthat you would marrywhen we grew up. Maybe... maybe this is my punishment for all the mistakes I've made. That's why fate is so cruel to me...

With every word, she inched backward, step by step, until she was teetering on the very edge of the rooftop.

Her frail body swayed dangerously as if the slightest breeze could send her plunging into the abyss below. She was just a step away from falling.

Gasps filled the air as the gathered doctors, nurses, and onlookers panicked. "Mr. Holbrook, please, say something to give Ms. Tessford a reason to live! Please do that first!" I watched coldly and shot Caden a look. "If you say it, we're done, I said.

A nearby werewolf nurse turned towith an expression of pure disapproval. "Ms. Sinclair, this is a human life we're talking about! How can you be so heartless?" "And I'm just supposed to stand by and let her steal my ancé with this pathetic stunt?" I shot back.

The nurse fell silent.

Heidi's POV: I never expected Rosaline to be this ruthless.

I clenched my fists in frustration. That Omega b*tch was blatantly challenging me! Hmph. I won't lose.

Biting my lip, I steeled myself and inched even closer to the ledge, determined to push Caden's limits. There's no way he would just stand by and watchfall! After all, I'm Tessa.

I was the girl who saved him eight years ago! Even if he no longer loved me, he still owedfor that 1/5 Chapter 382 The Show Must Go On +8 Pearls Drawing in a shaky breath, I stepped even closer to the edge. My eyes shimmered with tears as I whispered, "Caden, I'm sorry. I don't want to burden you anymore. If there's a next life... I hope you'll truly love me, and only me." Caden took a step forward. "Tessa, cdown from there!" "No, I can't. I don't want to make things harder for you don't want to be the reason you and Ms. Sinclair fight. I choked out, biting my lip so hard that I tasted blood. My tears streamed down my face as if I was a fragile, helpless damsel in distress. The sight of my suffering made the watching nurses tear up.

Caden frowned and glanced at Rosaline. His deep voice was firm yet soft. "Rosaline, can you step aside for Tessa? She only has one month left to live. Let's postpone the engagement for now-I want to spend stwith her." Rosaline smirked. "Oh, Caden, you really are something, aren't you? So all Heidi had to do was throw a tantrum, and you wavered? Or was it that you never forgot her in the first place?" Her voice grew sharper. "Of course! She's Tessa-the girl you've been longing for all this time. The truth is, you never stopped loving her. So tell me, why are you even engaged to me? You don't deserve me!" "Rosaline, can you stop being so unreasonable?" Caden's handsface tensed, his expression unreadable. "Am I unreasonable? Rosaline scoffed. "Wow, Caden. If Tessa is the only one in your heart, fine. Let's end this right now!" Listening to their exchange, a triumphant thrill shot through me. It worked.

Caden still had feelings for me.

If he didn't, he wouldn't be fighting with Rosaline right now.

Not to mention, with so many witnesses here, everyone could see how cruel Rosaline was being. Public opinion alone would be enough to destroy her reputation! Suppressing my glee, I wiped at my tears and spoke in the softest, most pitiful voice I could muster. "Caden, I'm so sorry... Please, don't fight because of me..." Before I could finish, Rosaline scoffed. "Heidi, weren't you going to jump? What are you waiting for?" My face stiffened.

Is this shameless Omega seriously trying to forceto jump? "What's wrong? Scared? Or are you just putting on a show?" Rosaline smirked while crossing her arms.

"N-no! That's not it... "I stammered. "Ms. Sinclair, I know you hate me... I know you resentBut don't worry.

I'll be gone soon. Caden's heart will belong to you alone by then..." I wiped my tears and looked up at Caden.

I was gambling on the fact that he 1 never lettall. He would save me.

Rosaline's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Oh, how considerate of you. Thanks so much." I hesitated, wondering if I should push my luck a little further. Just as I took another step back, a sudden gust of wind blew past, vanking at my hospital gown.
