When I wouldn't budge, Hudson suddenly switched tactics. He popped the trunk and pulled out two designer handbags and a jewelry set.
"Look at these. Do you like them? Come on, don't be mad. Let's go home."
I didn't say a word.
After a beat of silence, he sighed. "Gabriel's condition has gotten worse. Bianca cries herself to sleep every night—it's heartbreaking. Luna, you're a mother too. How can you just stand by and let her lose her child? Just help her. It's only a kidney."
And there it was. The sudden kindness was never for me.
Bianca left Hudson years ago when he had nothing. I was the one who stuck around, drained my savings, and spent a decade building a life with him. I actually believed he loved me back. But his heart had never been mine.
The second she returned, he forgave everything. And I lost before I even got to fight.
A wave of disgust twisted in my gut. Without another glance at him or Talia, I turned and walked away.
