Chapter 8

She stood outside my house, guitar slung over her shoulder, singing the love song from when she first pursued me.

As soon as she sang the first line, I dumped a garbage can on her from upstairs.

"What the hell are you screeching about in the middle of the night?" I said coldly.

Vivienne smiled weakly. "Alaric, congratulations on finally achieving your dream."

I showed no mercy. "Yeah, if it weren't for you, I would've achieved it two years ago already."

Vivienne's smile froze on her face.

After a long silence, she finally pulled out a crumpled card from her pocket.

"This is the wish card you once gave me. You said that as long as I had this card, you'd grant any wish I wanted."

Looking at her, I felt nauseated for no reason. I didn't know who she was putting on this devoted act for.

"The card was only valid for as long as I loved you."

"And you've completely ruined any love I had for you."
