The Sickened Luna's Last Chance novel Chapter 268

Sophia & Ella

Sophia’s stomach dropped.

This woman was working in Alex’s house. Every single day. Taking care of his son, living under his roof, probably eating at his table and gaining his trust bit by bit.

And she looked exactly like Ella.

Sophia didn’t like this one bit. Stella must have noticed her resemblance to the late Luna and decided to capitalize on Alex’s grief. And what hurt the most was that Sophia knew it might just work- because Alex was still hung up on Ella.

Perhaps Sophia wouldn’t be able to get away from her old scheming ways after all.

“Oh,” she said, feigning innocence, “I didn’t know you were the nanny. Alex never told me.” She forced a smile. “Well, I wish you all the best in the next trial. Do let me know if you need any pointers.”

To Sophia’s surprise, the nanny shook her head. “I’m not going to be participating in the next event. I actually entered the trial by accident. Someone put my name on the list without my permission.”

Sophia’s eyebrows shot up. “Really?”

“Yes. I’m planning on dropping out tonight.”

Maybe Sophia had been wrong after all. Perhaps she wouldn’t have to return to her old schemes; she could follow through with her plan to win the trial, which would certainly be a breeze once this enigma of a woman dropped out, and then win over Alex’s heart once she had a ring on her finger.

Sophia’s shoulders relaxed slightly. “Well then. I suppose we won’t be seeing much more of each

other.”

“I suppose not,” Stella replied. And with that, she turned and walked away.

Sophia let out a small breath of relief as she watched the nanny’s retreating form. Although, from this angle… She really did look like Ella, didn’t she?

And judging from the way Alex was staring at her, Sophia had a feeling that he thought so, too.

Chapter 268

“You did it, Stella! You made it to the next round!”

The other Omegas were practically cheering for me in the kitchens that night over steaming cups of tea and Lilith’s famous cookies. I had made it into the top ten contestants so far–out of the fifty remaining–and apparently it turned me into some kind of underdog for the Omegas.

“It’s so nice to see one of us climbing the ranks,” someone said, blowing on her cup of tea. “And an ex–rogue, no less!”

Another woman nodded. “It’s never been fair that only the upper–class women get chances like this. Even though I got eliminated today, I’m glad there are still some of us left in the running.”

Someone else grabbed my arm. “That means you have to work extra hard in the next round, Stella. Show those other high–class ladies what we’re really made of. That we’re worthy of moving on up in the world, too.”

I smiled, but it was forced. I didn’t want to be anyone’s champion. I didn’t want to represent the working class or prove that Omegas belonged in Luna Trials. I just wanted to take care of my son and stay out of everyone’s way.
