Ruined

“You know I hate it when you don’t listen to me.”

Back then, Leos latched onto Rue like a toy, she held onto him intuitively, and their bond was haphazardly strung together with all the wrong pieces.

Now, he’s matured, calculating, and brazenly insensitive. Somewhere in his guarded heart, he’s still the same Leos who put her before everything.

“I only care about you. Why is that bad?”

When her father got injured, she made the decision to return home after years of living overseas, marking this her second biggest mistake.

Leaving Leos without telling him was and is the first one. He's going to make sure she knows and remembers it for the rest of her life.

Saddled with her father’s debt, she calls the man who loves her with every inch of his cold heart. Rue realizes he’s the first person she thinks of when she’s in need, no matter how much she promises herself not to.

His selfishness has rubbed off on her.

Leos is willing to help her, just as she had thought, and she foolishly opens the door to his dream.
