The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 246

Chapter 0246 

For too long, I watched Nicholas across the room, as he greeted a benefactor and then introduced 

Olivia. As it wasn’t Lilliana’s turn with the benefactor, she had been asked to stand back. She glared at 

Olivia behind Nicholas’s back

Nicholas turned on the charisma for the elderly benefactor. Olivia, beside him, did the same. They looked like a matching pair, working together to charm the benefactor. With the way the benefactor 

blushed and smiled, it was clearly working

I didn’t want to hate Olivia. Compared to Linda and some of the others, she had never physically done me or Elva harm. But watching the way she kept touching Nicholas’s armOr how she smiled at himOr 

once, she winked…. 

My heart had emotions all its own that had little to do with logic or reason. My heart hated Olivia out of sheer jealousy. She had closeness to Nicholas now. She could smile and laugh and flirt, and might even 

be successful

I imagined Nicholas choosing Olivia as his Luna and my gut squeezed tight. She was a good choice

She’d make a respectable Luna

But I didn’t want her to marry Nicholas. I didn’t want anyone to marry Nicholas

Except me

I sighed. What a foolish notion. One I had to let go of, the sooner the better

Nicholas might be the one for me, but I would never be the one for Nicholas. I had to accept that and 

move on, for both our sakes

Mommy. I’m so sleepy,Elva said, mumbling the words against my shoulder. Can I go to bed now?” 

I had other benefactors to talk to yet. I really shouldn’t leave. But my heart was sore and lonely, and

worried Elva might be getting sick again. Her exhaustion didn’t entirely seem natural

Okay, honey. Let’s go back to our room.At the very least, I could have the doctor check her out. Then

could leave her in Mark’s care and hurry back to the party

No one stopped me as I carried Elva out of the ballroom. The guards at the door didn’t even look at me 

twice

The hallways were empty, with the candidates at the gala, and the servants likely enjoying their free time 

until the gala was done

With all my sneaking down to the cellars, I was used to seeing the hallways so barren. Though typically, I would have Julian or Nicholas at my side. On my own, my nerves prickled on high alert

When I turned the corner, I nearly jumped out of my skin seeing another woman standing in a purple, shimmering gown at the end of the hallway

Odd, that dress was made of the fabric that Jane had stolen from my room

The woman turned toward me, exposing her face. My breath caught in my throat

The woman was Jane

I stopped walking, feet planted firmly
