Chapter 8 After the party ended , I was surprised to find them still waiting by the door . I just tried to walk past without a word , but Wade and Trevor stepped forward to block my path . Aurora , its our fault . Please , come back , Wade pleaded . I glanced at Freya and let out a bitter laugh . Come back ? So I can continue to compete with Freya for your attention ? No , thanks . my words , both Wade and Trevor flushed red with shame , while Freya stood to the side , tears streaming down her face . Now , she could only pretend to cling to her act of fragile innocence . Aurora , Wade began , his tone desperate . We only pitied Freya . Youre irreplaceable to us . Shes nothing like you . You grew up with us , but Freya had no one. Shes just an orphan we felt sorry for her because we knew what that was like . Thats all it was , I swear . Trevor chimed in , Exactly ! We just wanted to help her . She meant nothing to us beyond that . And wasnt it you who recruited her ? We only tolerated her because of you . I met their frantic explanations with a calm , steady gaze . Theres no need to explain . Were nothing to each other now . Wades voice cracked . Nothing ? Thats not true . You care about us more than anyone else . You always . Maybe once , but not anymore . I shook my head . I stopped caring the moment you hurt me for her . Whatever we had ended then . Wades eyes reddened as he tried to argue . No , thats not true ! Freya is just like a little sister to us . But you … youre different . You know that . We love you . There was a time I would have believed that , back when I agonized over which of them to choose . But they had made the decision for me . Their actions had chipped away at whatever feelings I once had until there was nothing left . I cant afford your love , I said coldly . From now on , lets just be strangers . Wade and Trevor couldnt hold back any longer when I said the word stranger . Do you remember how we relied on each other in the orphanage ? Trevor asked . How you gave up Dillionaire Heiress 5.4 % Chapte M tring university to pay for our education ? They remembered everything all my sacrifices and yet , they had still let Freya torment me . This was the moment when I finally lost any attachment at all . Wade and Trevor continued , their voices rising with emotion as they tried to remind me of what we once shared . But no matter how many words they threw at me , none of it mattered anymore . They could scream themselves hoarse , and it still wouldnt change a thing .
