“No, I don’t want anything.”
“Is there something wrong?”
“Tell me, Riley. Is there something wrong? “ My voice was slightly higher as I tilted my head to look at him, and I saw him swallow hard.
My eyes then darted to the other people around the table. I saw Jenny drop her gaze to the plate while the males kept forking their food, but no one was eating. “Tell me guys, is there something wrong? Were you talking about something before I came in? “
Silence.
I pushed my chair back, creating a loud screeching sound, but I remained seated, letting out a sigh of desperation as I threw the table napkin on the table. “I should have expected no one would say anything. Because it’s always been like that.”
“Nadia, calm down. What’s going on?”
“Seriously, are we all just going to pretend that nothing happened today? That Andrea wasn’t here?”
Riley wasn’t showing any emotions, but his eyes were locked with mine, and it was pissing me off.
I stood up and was about to walk away when Riley’s cold voice erupted into the air. “Come back. Let’s talk.”
“So now you want to talk? Will I get a decent answer?” I asked him, my brow hiking up.
He just let out a deep sigh.
“So let me start over again and ask you, so... what did you do today? Anything special that happened?” I asked him in a sarcastic, happy tone before my voice went cold and serious. “Did you kiss her? Were you fucking her while you were talking with me in your mind?”
“Fuck, Nadia!” His coiled fist hit the table, and I saw everything on top shake while I stopped myself from flinching. “You could have felt it if I touched her. I didn’t even go near her!”
“So now you’re admitting she was here? Wasn’t it supposed to be something I should know?”
“Nadia…”
“I’m not done talking yet. But in all honesty, I shouldn’t expect less. Because nobody was telling me anything in this house. It’s probably because you all knew I was just a nobody, so it’s no wonder I’m treated this way!”
He stood up and took a step, his hand reaching for my arm, but I shoved it away. “Nadia! Calm down! Can you at least let me explain?”
“Now you want to explain?”
“What happened to hearing me out before you made your judgment?”
My mind went into a rage and I couldn’t stop myself. My hand rose to his face, giving him the hardest slap I had ever delivered in my life.
Pak!
I saw his jaw twitching, but my hand didn’t do anything to him. His head didn’t even move.
“And what happened to us being a team? I waited for you to say something or anything when I came home from Katya’s house, but you just played me for a fool. I asked if anything special happened. What did you say? You said, nothing! Nothing! And now you’re expecting me to hear you out?”
“Nadia…”
“Stop, I’m not done yet. You listen to me!”
“Everyone out.” His voice was cold as he ordered them to leave.
“No. You stay! All of you stay, so we can all say it all out in the open! Because you, you and you!” I pointed a finger at everyone around the table. “You all played me for a fool! You were all in on this game.”
I turned my head back to Riley, my finger pointing at his chest. “Especially you! I gave you my heart, but what is this for you, just a game? I offered you a contract and was willing to be a good Luna as you wanted, as long as you needed one, but you duped me and said you fucking love me! For what? To get a free fuck?”
“Nadia!” He ran his hand over his face. He was keeping his eyes normal, but I could see Hunter wanting to come out.
