Chapter 255 Playing Alone, Part 2

Chapter 255: Playing Alone, Part 2.

Vanessa

“You’re playing alone.”

The sentence falls dry, cold. And for a second… I don’t understand it.

I blink, I look at him.

“What do you mean, I’m playing alone?”

My voice is higher than I’d like, Alexander doesn’t flinch, he’s calm, too calm, as if what he ju said wasn’t a bombshell.

“I’m not interested in anything about them anymore,” he says with a calmness that irritates me. “I’m not interested in Clara, I’m not interested in Ethan… they can both go to hell.”

I feel something inside me break.

“No… you can’t do that.”

He takes a step toward the table, picks up a glass, as if we were talking about something trivial.

“Why not?”

I look at him, incredulous.

“Because you and I agreed that we were going to do something to separate them.”

He lets out a short, humorless laugh.

“No. You and I didn’t agree to anything.”

I clench my fists.

“Of course we did.”

“I told you I was going to think of something,” he continues. “I thought about it. I pondered it.

I tried… and that was going to be my last attempt.”

My breathing quickens.

“So?”

“And it’s not going to work.”

< Chapter 255: Playing Alone, Part 2.

Silence… a heavy silence.

“I can’t separate them.”

He says it like that. As if it were a logical conclusion, as if it didn’t hurt, as if it didn’t matter

“The only alternative,” he adds coldly, “would be to kill Ethan.”

My heart stops for a second.

“But I can’t kill him… because you die after the feeling.”

I swallow.

“Then no,” he finishes. “There’s no way.’

He shakes his head.

“And I’m not going to waste any more time on this. I have more important things to worry about.”

I look at him and I hate him. I hate him because he can just blurt it out like that. Because he can give up, because he can move on.

“You’re a fucking useless piece of shit.”

The words come out on their own, unfiltered.

He stays still.

“What did you say?”

“You’re useless,” I repeat, more forcefully. “You had her all to yourself for days… and you didn’t do a shit to separate them.”

His eyes harden.

“I did more than you can imagine.”

He takes a step toward me.

“And let me tell you something… neither you nor I can separate them.”

I shake my head.

“No.”

“Yes.”

<Chapter 255: Playing Alone, Part 2.

His voice becomes firmer.

“They’ve both already decided who they’re with.”

Silence.

“And it’s neither you… nor me.”

I feel the blow, direct. Without anesthesia.

“Are you going to quit the game that easily?”

I challenge him with my gaze; he doesn’t even hesitate.

“I’m going to give you some advice.”

I don’t want to hear it, but I can’t look away.

“Love yourself a little more.”

I laugh bitterly.

“Because otherwise… you have no self-respect.”

+25 Poin

That… that really hurts. More than everything before, more than Ethan. More than Clara, more than losing. It’s like he’s baring my soul with a single sentence.

I take a step toward him.

“So all that stuff that happened between us… what?”

My voice trembles; I hate that it trembles.

“What was it for?”

He doesn’t move.

“To support each other emotionally.”

I look at him incredulously.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Something inside me explodes. I raise my hand and slap him. The sound cuts through the air.

“You shouldn’t have slept with me if you weren’t going to cooperate with what we both wanted.”

< Chapter 255: Playing Alone, Part 2.

My chest rises and falls sharply.

“No,” he corrects, staring at me. “What you wanted.”

I shake my head.

“No!”

“If you’re talking about sex,” he adds coldly, “we both wanted it. It wasn’t just me.”

Rage consumes me.

+25 Points

I raise my hand again. But this time… it doesn’t reach. He stops it, his fingers tightening. around my wrist. He pulls me close. My body collides with his, his face inches from mine. I can feel his breath, his gaze hard and sharp.

“You’re a whore, Vanessa.”

The words pierce me.

“You’re a slut”

My heart pounds.

“And that’s why no man wants you for anything serious.”

My eyes burn.

“You’re only good for one thing…”

His voice is low… cold.

“And that’s for sex. Nothing else.”

The world stops, and then… he lets go of me abruptly. I stand there… staring at him, unable to speak. My eyes burn, fill with tears, blur. I won’t cry, not in front of him… I won’t give him

that.

No.

But a tear falls, betraying me silently.

And as soon as I feel it… I turn around.

I walk quickly, without looking back. I leave the apartment, cross the hallway, open my door and slam it shut. The sound echoes, but not as loud as what remains inside me… Rage. humiliation, emptiness.

Chapter 255 Playing Alone Part 2

And for the first time… I don’t know who I’m really fighting against. If it’s against Clara, against Ethan. Against Alexander… Or… against myself.
