Chapter 272 

As I read Selene’s words, a strange heaviness settled in my chest.

**“I am trying to learn Kane’s favorite things. Mom said Kane likes stargazers. I was overjoyed to finally know his favorite flower. 

I went to a flower shop and bought some fresh stargazers. The saleswoman was very sweet. When she found out I was buying them for my husband, she made me the perfect bouquet. 

But it seemed Kane no longer liked these flowers. Or maybe… he just didn’t like receiving them from me. It was the first time I had ever given him something. 

All my excitement shattered when he threw the bouquet into the trash and said- 

‘Everything can turn to ashes with your touch.” 

I cried when I got back to the bedroom. Why does he hate me so much?“** 

I exhaled sharply, closing my eyes as I set the diary down on the desk. Leaning back in my chair, I let my head rest against the leather. 

I had been blind to what she was trying to show me through those flowers–through all of it. I never once noticed how much she cared, how much she had loved me. 

Back then, I had convinced myself of one thing: that she was nothing more than an opportunist, someone who only wanted the title of Luna. 

A memory surfaced–another gift she had given me. A white shirt. I had poured red wine all over it, deliberately ruining it, just to show her that any offering from her meant nothing to me. 

I was sure she had written about that in this diary too. 

Guilt crawled under my skin, its grip suffocating. I didn’t want to read anymore. 

Yet after what felt like an eternity, my hands moved on their own. 

I flipped through the pages, my eyes skimming over one painful memory after another. 

Then something caught my attention. 

I sat up straight, my pulse quickening as I read the first line. 

“Today, he brought a woman home with him.” 

I kept reading, already knowing what–who–she meant. Ruby. 

**“I was so shocked when I saw her. I have to admit, she is beautiful. Maybe that’s why Kane likes her. 

Now I feel self–conscious about the way I look. Maybe I’m not that beautiful. Every time I try to dress nicely for him, he calls me ugly. 

That’s what my parents used to call me too. 

They were right. I am ugly. Kane doesn’t deserve someone like me. 

But what can I do? I have loved him for so long–even before we got married. I can’t leave him. He’s my

whole world. I have no one else but him.“** 

My fingers clenched around the diary. 

She loved me before our marriage? 

The realization left me shaken.
