Buried deep in the Aster estate was the Heartwood—ancient, sacred, mine. Told my husband, Julian Aster—back when he actually listened—that if it ever fell, I'd die with it. At first, he freaked out. Flew in glacier water, hired a whole squad of plant experts to nurture it 24/7. Then one day, just because his childhood friend—Isabella Duvall—got a scratch from the bark, Julian had the Heartwood ripped out. The second it crashed, I choked on glowing blood—ichor. My power? Gone. Barely standing, I grabbed his arm. "You knew. If the Heartwood dies, I—" He laughed. Straight-up mocked me. "Sera, come on. That fairy tale? Only Grandma still believes that crap. Is that mayo on your mouth? Relax—it's a tree. I'll buy you a forest if you want." Overnight, my hair turned gray. Skin cracked. Eyes dulled. Still, I dragged myself to his grandmother, Henrietta. "I kept your family safe for two hundred years. That's why the Asters thrived. But the Heartwood's gone. Debt's paid. One day left. Whatever happens next? Not my problem."

I Protected Him for 200 Years, He Killed Me in 1 Day Chapter 8
In Aetherium, life was chill.No body, no limits—just me, finally free.Time didn't matter here. No pain, no lies. Just calm.But lately, something gross kept tugging at me from the mortal world.It stank of obsession and fake guilt, like a greasy snake trying to wrap around my soul and wreck everything.I wanted to slice it away like dead weight.Then The High One showed up."That pull's from a dark ritual. An Aster descendant's offering their life and soul to you—trying to drag you back in with chains made of shadow."I didn't say a word. So Julian had actually gone this far.When I got back to the Aster estate, the place was wrecked.Weeds choked the old gardens, and where the Heartwood once stood, a grim altar took its place.Julian was on his knees.Isabella lay on the slab—eyes gone, barely breathing.Julian looked wrecked, face flushed, eyes wild.The second he saw me, he lit up like a madman.He stumbled forward, smacked straight into an invisible wall."Sera!

Julian gave the signal. Cold metal pierced Isabella's arm.Another needle slid into his vein.Her blood—bright, too red—ran through a weird-looking machine, then slowly dripped into him.Her skin faded to paper white. Lips went gray. Breathing got shaky.But all Julian saw was Sera.Eight years ago, right after the crash, she'd shown up.Pale. Eyes heavy. He figured she hadn't slept.Back then, he'd actually been mad she didn't stay with him like Isabella did.Now? He finally got it.That wasn't exhaustion.She'd torched half her life force dragging him back from the brink.And she never said a word.She'd just looked at him, made sure he was okay, then walked out—quiet, alone, ready to face the fallout of breaking nature's rules.And he? He crushed everything she was... for a damn lie."Mr. Aster, your body might reject the blood. You'll need sedation—painkillers," Dr. Wells stammered."No." Julian's voice was raw but steady.Dr. Wells froze. "Sir, that's not possible!

Julian woke up in the top-floor suite of his family's private hospital.Not the ceiling he expected—just a cold IV stand and needle marks dotting his arm.His whole body felt hollow, like even his bones remembered what he'd lost.While he'd been out, Aster Corp had nearly flatlined."You're awake."Henrietta sat beside him, voice rough, face aged like she'd fast-forwarded a decade overnight.No small talk. She slammed a stack of papers on the table."Aster Corp's been crashing five days straight. Our top three projects? On ice. Every partner's bailing. The family's done. And it's all on you."The door flew open.Isabella swept in, decked out in a crisp white Chanel dress, Hermès bag swinging.She spotted him and lit up like she'd just won something."Julian! You're awake! Oh my God, I was so scared!"She rushed to the bed."Stop." His voice was raspy but solid.Isabella froze.Julian didn't even look her way, eyes stuck on the ceiling."Isabella," he said slowly, "how e

I thought I'd fade into nothing. But when I blinked back to life, I was wrapped in this soft, glowing light.No pain. No weight. Just calm. Stronger than I'd ever felt.Then came a voice, smooth and powerful in my head: "Sera, you've passed the trial of love and loss. Your sacrifice has cleansed you. Welcome home to Aetherium."I looked down through the clouds.The manor roof exploded in cursed fire, black magic tearing through it.Julian didn't move—still stuck in the shock of watching me vanish.Behind him, Isabella and Henrietta dropped, too scared to even breathe.Julian's chest felt hollow, like something essential had just been yanked out.He shoved the feeling aside, blaming the chaos."What are you waiting for? Put out the damn fire!" he barked, voice cracked, rage barely covering the panic.He tore his eyes from the sky, muttering, "It's just a storm. Nothing big. Yeah. Sera's behind this—used the mess to bail."But karma was already cashing in.Outside, the founta
