MARIA.
There was something about the way Adrien was staring at me that almost made my heart soften.
His eyes carried desperation, regret, pain and for one dangerous second, I almost pitied him but I immediately pulled myself back together mentally.
No.
I could not allow myself to become weak now, not after everything they had done, not after all the humiliation and pain they had put me through.
"There is nothing like a second chance, Adrien," I said coldly, forcing my voice to remain firm.
Adrien shook his head immediately.
"No, Maria… there is," he replied stubbornly. "Even the Moon Goddess gives second chances."
I almost scoffed at his response.
The confidence in his voice irritated me deeply.
Why did he keep acting as though fate alone was enough to erase everything?
