'Should I just give up?' Maria thought to herself in a lonely melancholy.
Maybe that was for the best. She knew there was only a small chance that he would choose her.
So, perhaps it was better if she let go before she got too attached.
'But, can I really do that?'
Maria knew within herself how attached she was to the boy in question.
Her sole motivation for growing stronger had been because of him.
She wanted to be by his side—to be his!
Abandoning that emotion at this juncture… was it even possible for her?
No, it wasn't.
Before she had realized it, Maria had become too intertwined with Jared that it was next to impossible to pull away.
Yes, she had reached a point of no return!
'So, what now…?'
Was she simply going to watch in silence and drown in frustration as Jared got pulled away by a new competitor?
NO WAY!
'I knew him first!'
Before Freya. Before Aloe. Even before Ana.
She had been the first to meet him. Jared Leonard was even the one who had approached her.
