They thought love made me blind.

Vanessa leaned close. “You’re enjoying this.”

“I’m working.”

“You’ve always been good at serving people.”

“And you’ve always been good at taking what isn’t yours,” I said.

“You can’t do this!” she yelled at me. “You’re nobody!”

Marcus looked at me, his voice trembling. “Elena… I was desperate.”
