CHAPTER 84
Nova
Our gazes clashed but I didn't budge, staring Asher down.
He must have seen something in my eyes that told him I was in no mood to be trifled with because, to my surprise, he backed down.
“Why are you doing this and tonight of all nights?” He grunted, frustrated. “You know how important it is for my father to believe in me…” he waved between us. “....in this?”
“Maybe it's because I'm tired of you pretending all this time,” I say. “Maybe I just want to have a minute where I'm not lying about who I am.”
“Nova, but-”
“Uh-huh,” I shook my head, refusing to back down from this. “I'm leaving, whether you like it or not.”
*What am I going to tell them?” He asked.
I shrugged, hiking my bag up my shoulder. “Honestly, I don't bloody know, and neither do I care.”
