Chapter 213

Lina slowly lifted her head and looked at me through the mirror. Our eyes locked, but an unfamiliar tension lingered in the air. Her appearance and demeanor had changed. Despite being only 20 years old, she dressed and carried herself like someone in her mid-20s. While she looked stunning, something about it felt out of place. Her gaze was strange too. It wasn't the disdainful look I used to know. Instead, it carried a mix of profound disappointment and resentment I couldn't quite understand. What could I have done to make her look at me like that? "Lina, do you know what Dorian said when you weren't around?" I said. She remained expressionless at my words, simply staring at me. Feeling helpless, I continued, "He said—" "Did you and Felicia break up?" she suddenly interrupted, cutting me off mid-sentence. I froze, startled by her question. "No," I answered instinctively. "Then, are you two-timing her?" she asked. I wondered what had led her to accuse me of such a thing.
