Even a sliver of hope would have been enough for her.
Vanessa used to think Colby was incapable of love, and she held onto the belief that one day, Colby might look back and see her. But then Sophie came along, shattering all her dreams for the future.
Clenching her fists tightly, Vanessa said, "Without you... even if Colby hated me, it would be better than him ignoring me."
Suddenly, the sound of a scuffle erupted outside, and a group of people burst in, surrounding Sophie.
Sophie looked at Vanessa and said, "There's one big difference between you and me. Do you know what it is?"
Vanessa was taken aback.
"I once loved someone who ended up falling for someone else. I foolishly gave my all, hoping he'd come back. But I learned that if someone doesn't love you, they just don't. Loving yourself is the only way to be loved by others. And... I never go out of my way to hurt others. That's the difference between us," Sophie explained.
Vanessa bit her lip.
Just then, applause came from outside.
"Quite the speech, really touched me," Odie said as he stepped into the living room, his smile cold. "I was planning to give you a chance. If you had left Colby, I might have let you go, even given you medicine for your addiction. But I didn't expect you two to be so committed."
Sophie glanced at Odie, then at the pale-faced Vanessa. She stayed silent, but Vanessa broke down. "If you had just left Colby, I wouldn't have had to go this far... Sophie, you forced my hand!"
