Chapter 81: Leeches

Nova’s POV

The party was filled with a bustling crowd of people, yet Drystan and I seemed to go unnoticed as the other guests around us mingled and chattered with each other while excluding us.

I felt like a fool sitting in the middle of a crowd of people where no one bothered to acknowledge us. I felt like we were just forcing ourselves into a place where no one wanted us.

My eyes flitted across the room. Wherever I look, I see familiar faces that used to talk to us and fill our ears with words we wanted to hear.

Now, those people have changed. They deliberately ignore us after we fall off in disgrace.

In the last gathering that we had, everyone was racing to have Drystan’s attention and get the chance to have a conversation with him.
