All Chapters of My marriage was for money, his for vengeance: Chapter 141 - Chapter 147

5:39 AM — Sector M, Ridgewatch SpanMist stuck to the elevation line, yet the light was already changing.Elira was at the outer edge of the bridge, gazing out as the horizon unfolded. Below her feet, the composite mesh gave a slight sag — a confirmation of the new materials settling into the long-term shape. A worker glided past her behind, nodding, with a coil of solar-thread cabling clutched under his arm."You might've waited inside," Caelan whispered, coming up softly."I could've," Elira said. Her breath misted in the chill. "But the light is different here. As if it's picking us today."7:04 AM — Sector J, Upper Grainway CorridorCaelan ran a finger down a tablet diagram, plotting convergence points with one eye on corner angles of the path.Elira stood next to a wide open crate full of insulated grain packs. Kids all around her were stacking small bundles, folding pieces of cloth tie in the manner of older volunteers.One of them looked up at her and smiled. "Miss Elira, do th

5:46 AM — Sector G, Skyrest OutpostThe wind was hushed this morning. It wasn't absent—simply stilled, like it had folded itself in respect. Elira stood atop the raised railing of Skyrest, where horizon met ridge of boundary. She observed the demarcation where blue bled into morning.Caelan was at her side, arms resting on the railing, his breath visible in the chill."Doesn't feel like it's stopping," he said."It's not," she said. "It's just changing again."Below them, the early crews trudged along the long bend of the perimeter—double-checking lines, passing on adjustments. From up above, their routes seemed like veins of light running through debris and bloom.7:18 AM — Sector D, Rootcast CommonsOn the boundary of a rebuilt public space, a child was relearning to walk—step by purposeful step across retextured pavement. Her grandmother sat silently on a bench that had been cut into the newly planted wall, fingers loosely entwined in her lap.Elira caught the detail from a distanc

6:12 AM — Sector B, Bluebar Trace The blue to rust line had remained in Elira's periphery well after the stylus started tracing. The pages of the notebook captured each bend, each fissure, the manner in which the blue tile held onto its color while the rusty portion seemed to slide into the ground as if it was embarrassed about itself. Caelan didn’t speak at first. He stepped to her right, his gaze following hers toward the strip of junction where history had decided to divide itself. “You’re mapping again,” he said quietly. She gave a small nod. “Not just where things are. Where they’ve been left.” The dim hum of the overhead lights was punctured only by the scuff of their boots. Outside the transit node, day had already begun for others—the canteens steaming, the children crying as they hauled supplies to makeshift kitchens—but in here, it seemed as if the air had not moved in decades. --- 7:03 AM — Bluebar Trace Outer Walkway They walked along the broken pavement, Ca
