Chapter 27 I pushed him away , my patience snapping . Stop it , Silas ! I slapped him hard , the sound echoing in the room . He staggered but didnt seem to feel it , his drunken haze dulling the impact . Youre not staying in my bed tonight , I muttered , dragging him toward the corner of the room . With one final shove , I let him collapse onto the floor . For a moment , I stood there , staring down at him . Memories flooded back the way hed once ignored me , abandoned me and our daughters for Lena and her son Billy . The betrayal that had cost me Joanne and Joeys lives . You deserve nothing more , I whispered , my voice cold . Not after everything youve done . I left him there , lying on the floor , and walked out of the hotel without looking back . The next morning , as I walked into my office , I wasnt surprised to find Lena waiting for me . Her face was pale with fury , her fists clenched at her sides . You ! she snarled , storming toward me . You think you can get away with this ? I raised an eyebrow . Good morning , Lena . To what do I owe the pleasure ? Dont play dumb ! she shouted , her voice echoing through the room . Several employees peeked out from their cubicles , drawn by the commotion . You left your card at the bar ! You were with Silas all night ! I crossed my arms , feigning confusion . And ? And youre a homewrecker ! she screamed . Youve been seducing him , havent you ? Trying to ruin my life ! I tilted my head , pretending to consider her words . Lena , if Silas chooses to spend his time with me , isnt that more about your relationship than mine ? Her face turned red , her anger boiling over . Youre nothing but a third party ! A manipulative- I stood in the office , calm and collected , as Lena stormed in . Her expression was a mix of anger and desperation , and I could tell she was barely holding herself together . But I wasnt about to back down , not today . Lena , I began , my tone steady and deliberate , as Luna , dont you think its your responsibility to notice when Silas is upset ? Or were you too busy with something else to even care about his mood ? Her eyes widened slightly at my words , and I could see the shock ripple through her . What are you implying , Lorelei ? she snapped , her voice sharp . I stayed calm and didnt react to her anger . Im just saying that Silas came to me when he was upset . Do you even know where he was last night , Lena ? I paused for a moment , watching her expression change . He was with me , sharing how he felt and trying to forget his troubles with a few drinks . Do you know why ? Because you werent there for him when he needed you the most . I let my words hang in the air , watching as they sank in . He had no one else to turn to , Lena . Shouldnt that bother you as his Luna ? She stiffened , her hands clenching into fists at her sides . Thats ridiculous . Silas doesnt need to confide in you , she said , her voice trembling slightly . Really ? I said , arching an eyebrow . Then why was he at my side instead of yours ? Her face turned red with anger , but before she could respond , I added , And by the way , you owe me money for the drinks . 12:30 Alphas Regret : Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 91.0 % Chapter 27 Silas and racked up quite a bill last night , and since it was your negligence that drove him there , its only fair that you cover it . Lena let out a cold laugh , shaking her head . Youre unbelievable . Asking me for money over something so small ? How petty can you be , Lorelem ? I shrugged , giving her a sweet but fake smile . Well , if its such a small amount , it shouldnt be a problem for you , right ? With a haughty look , she pulled out her wallet , clearly intending to throw some cash at me to make her point . But when she opened it , her confidence shattered . Her wallet was completely empty . I couldnt stop the grin that spread across my face . Oh , thats unfortunate , I said , my voice dripping with mock concern . No money left ? How embarrassing for someone who calls themselves Luna . erface twisted with frustration as she fumbled with her empty wallet . this doesnt mean anything , she muttered , but her voice lacked its usal strength . Oh , I think it means quite a lot , I replied . Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I took the health care business away from you . You know , the only thing you had that actually brought in money . Without it , youre completely penniless , arent you ? Lenas eyes flashed with fury , but she couldnt deny it . And here you are , I continued, my tone casual , pretending to be so generous , acting like youre above me , when you cant even pay for a round of drinks . Its pathetic , really . Some of my employees , who had been quietly working nearby , couldnt hold back their laughter . A few of them tried to cover their mouths or look away , but the sound of their snickering still slipped out . It was enough to catch Lenas attention . She looked around , noticing the amused faces and whispering among them . Her face turned bright red , and her hands clenched into fists . I could see her trembling with anger , her humiliation growing worse with every passing second .
