He shoved lleana away with a forceful push.
“Why are you treatinglike this?” lleana’s voice trembled, raw with hurt. “I gave you everything-everything |
had! Why are you doing this to me?” Ignoring the sting from her scraped palms, she scrambled after him,
desperately reaching for the
hem of his trousers.
“Let's go. Must be slunatic from who knows where.” Fortune dodged her grasp, backing away several steps.
Their roommate watched the scene unfold, eyes flicking between the two, but ultimately chose to say nothing
and hurried after Fortune.
Illeana tried to chase after them, but a swell of pedestrians blocked her path. By the tshe made it through,
Fortune was already gone.
She scoured the crowd anxiously, searching for him-only to spot, instead, the one person she despised most in
the world: Alessia.
Right then, Alessia was strolling down the street toward campus, hand in hand with Cole, their fingers entwined.
Of course they’d witnessed the , but neither seemed interested in getting involved. To them, it was
nothing more than a passing spectacle, a bit of entertainment in an otherwise ordinary day.
But what Alessia saw as amusement, Ileana saw as a fresh wound.
She clenched her fists, glaring daggers at Alessia’s retreating figure.
It was all her fault. Every bit of it.
If it hadn't been for Alessia, Ileana wouldn't have been shipped overseas, wouldn't have endured the contempt

cracked overhead, and the sky opened up. Rain poured down, drenching everyone on the sidewalk and sending
people running for shelter.
Ileana stood beside a bus stop, her hair plastered to her face, looking every bit as
lost as she felt.
Frustrated, she hurled her bag to the ground. The other people sheltering from the rain glanced at her warily.
“What are you looking at? Bunch of worthless nobodies!” she snapped.
Faces darkened and, little by little, a ring of space formed around her, as if an invisible barrier had gone up,
separating her from the rest.
She fished out her phone. “Cpickup. Now.”
Her tone was sharp, her attitude even worse, yet not five minutes later, a luxury car rolled up to the curb.
The driver stepped out with an umbrella, opened the door, and waited for her to get
in.
Ileana flicked her hair at the onlookers and gave a haughty snort, as if that alone could piece her pride back

Once home, soaked through and shivering, she wanted nothing more than a hot shower and her bed.
“Young miss, your father wants to see you in his study.”
The butler’'s words made her skin crawl.
