I shot a frown in Gamma Storm's direction. He barely spared me a glance before casually shrugging The moment he noticed Theta Gideon approaching, he quickly muttered,
"Forget everything I just said."
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving me staring after him, lost in thought. His words didn't
quite register.
Shifting my gaze, I looked at Kane. He wasn't paying me any attention anymore.
Perched on a barstool, he leisurely sipped from his wine glass, his expression unreadable.
"What's running through that mind of yours, Kane? There's no way you're thinking about me without some kind of scheme behind it," I mused, watching him carefully.
"Stop staring at him. You won't seduce him-he belongs to me."
A voice I knew all too well rang in my ears. Suppressing a sigh of irritation, I inwardly groaned. Why did this woman always seem to find me?
Plastering on a sweet smile, I turned to face her. "Hello, Ruby."
She momentarily froze, caught off guard by my expression. Dressed in a skin- tight, fire-engine red dress, she looked ridiculously out of place.
This was a child's birthday party, not some bachelorette bash. The outfit alone was enough to make me cringe.
Anyone else, I wouldn't have cared. But this was Ruby-conniving, insufferable Ruby. And I knew exactly why she was here.
Arms crossed over her chest, she eyed me with disdain. "What are you doing here?"
I arched a brow at her ridiculous question. "It's my children's birthday party. Why wouldn't I be here? The real question is-why are you here?"
Her glare sharpened, as if she expected me to cower under her gaze.
"Me? I'm Kane's girlfriend. He personally invited me."
I hummed in response, a thought clicking into place. “I see.”
She took a step closer, voice lowering to a waming. "Let me make this clear-stay away from Kane."
I didn't bother suppressing my laughter. "Do me a favor," I said, pausing to smirk at her. "Tell your boyfriend-*
I stopped, tilting my head. "Oh, wait. I mean your ex-boyfriend."
Her eyes went wide, the color draining from her face. "W-What kind of nonsense-

I reached out, gently clasping her wrist and giving it a light pat with my other hand. "Tell your ex not to chase after me. I'm not interested. But it seems like you can't keep him satisfied. Maybe that's why he's slipping through your fingers?"

I winked, letting my words hit their mark. This woman had made my life a living hell when I was with Kane. Did she really think I'd waste an opportunity to return the favor?
She shook her head in denial. "You're wrong. You've completely misunderstood. He hasn't broken up with me. So don't even think about making a move on my man. If I catch you looking at him again, I swear-ahhh!"
A small, pained whimper escaped her as I gave her wrist the alightest twist. She bit down on her lip, trying not to make a scene.
I grinned, thoroughly enjoying her struggle.
"I warned you to stay out of my way." I murmured, leaning in slightly. "But he laid hands on me today. Tell him not to make that mistake again. And you? Stay the hell out of my life."
Releasing her wrist, I watched her stumble back, disbelief written all over her face.
I patted her cheek lightly, my tone mockingly sweet.
"Good girl. Now go work your magic on him like you used to-before someone just like you snatches him away."
