Chapter 32

• *Bruno*
• "Am I just a plaything to you?" Lucia asked me. I was shocked at her question. And that was when it clicked. She must have overheard my conversation with Natasha. But I made it clear that wasn't. She pressed her lips together. Though she tried to keep a straight face as if she didn't care about whatever response I was going to give, her eyes gave her away.
• "Did you stay to listen to me after listening to Natasha?" I asked her. I wanted to confirm. She moved her eyes from side to side. "What was the use?" She asked instead of answering. "Is that even important right now? Why can't you just answer me? Is it because she is right? I'm a plaything, after all. And here I thought we were friends," she said, trying to look nonchalant. But I knew it was the opposite.
