He would be so pleased. “There is no escape from me this time.” She would have wrapped her arms around his neck.“Who says I want to escape from you, My dear?” The imagination alone made her chuckle accompanied by the wave of tears.

    PETUNIA MANSION:The vase shattered against the wall.A lamp followed.Then a book.It wasn't the first thing Delphi had thrown tonight, and it wouldn't be the last.She needed something to break. If possible, everything if it means shifting the motionless man before her.“Stop standing there!” she screamed, “Say something!”Across the room, Mr. Night didn't flinch.He simply watched.His gaze drifted to the shattered glass littering the floor. Anywhere but her. He had learned long ago that silence survived arguments better than words. Tonight, however, even silence was failing him. “Answer me!” Delphi let out another pained voice—a sharp, broken sound that dissolved into another shout of frustration.“Who are you?!”Still nothing.“Just tell me!”Her strength began to fade, stumbling on her feet, she fell on the bed. Clutching her heart to signal her pain but that didn’t shift him either.“I am sick of this…” she began sorrowfully, wiping the tear with the back of her hand rough

    Hours had passed.Maybe longer.Warm morning light filtered through the hospital curtains. After the stormy night last night, no one expected such a bright sun to emerge today.But here it was.Shining vibrantly as ever.“Look, Zayne.” I hadn't moved from his bedside.I had lost count somewhere between listening to the steady beeping of the heart monitor and praying he would open his eyes.“The rain you hate so much is gone.” My fingers remained intertwined with his.“Come on..” I whispered, brushing my thumb over his knuckles. “You promised you'd stay with me. Wake up and see how bright today’s sun is.”Finally, after waiting for painful hours. A faint twitch came, my breath caught up when his fingers moved slightly. “Za....Zayne?” I whispered so gently, raking my other hand in his hair carefully.His brows knitted together before his eyes slowly fluttered open.For a moment, they were unfocused, moving around the space to register where he was or what happened.

But before he could drag me out of my daze, I reacted once again.“Don’t!!” Whether I was screaming for Antler...For Zayne...Or for the future Edric would destroy if he lived...I no longer knew.I only knew one thing.He couldn't be allowed to stand again.I pulled t
