As if she had already chosen the world she wanted to live in. I rose. My knees left prints in the mud, half filled by the river’s edge. When I stood, the cold air pulled me back into myself.

I turned away and followed the sound of fire rising in the distance. Kael (POV) The ash came first.

Inside, it was choked with dust. "Don't worry, Connor," one of his friends had told him during a conversation Samantha had overheard. "We've already set up the timed incendiary. You just need to lure her in and lock the door from the outside. Once it starts burning, she won't be able to get out. Based on the last fire, wait fifteen minutes, then go in and save her. She won't die—maybe just a few burns. But when she sees you coming through the flames, she'll be so grateful and start crying." Samantha had heard it all. And she was ready to let "Samantha" be buried in this fire for good.

"To every woman who was told she was too emotional, too soft, too ambitious. To every person who lost everything and had to start again. This is your reminder that we rise. And we rise stronger."

"You know," Lila said, handing her a glass, "I always believed you’d come back. But I never expected this." "Neither did I," Natalie admitted. "But maybe sometimes we have to be burned down to remember what we’re made of." Lila raised her glass. "To rising from the ashes."

When the torch was handed to Asher, without any ceremony, he tossed the fire at the base of the pyre and it caught fire instantly. Flames roared to life, swallowing clothes and flesh alike. The heat pushed the crowd back but no one looked away. They were literally holding their hearts in their hands as they looked on in fear. The smell was thick and acrid. Standing behind her window, Aurora watched as the flames licked up the pyre and then let out a contended sigh By the time the fire died down, nothing remained but smoldering embers and gray ash. “Finally."

"Please, Ryan, don't do this. He's your son! Please, don't take this from me!" But Ryan's mind was filled with anger and betrayal. He opened the urn and began to pour the ashes onto the ground. "No!" Sophia wailed, her cries echoing through the cemetery. She lunged forward, her hands clawing at the ashes as they scattered. The gray powder clung to her hair and skin, mixing with her tears as she wept uncontrollably. She pressed her head to the ground, her body trembling with sorrow. "My baby," she sobbed, her voice barely audible. "I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…"

When she saw me, she jumped up and yelled, "Why won't you just leave me alone? Caleb's already given you everything. Isn't that enough? That fire was an accident! Why can't you just let it go?" I shook my head, then gave a small nod. "Caleb gave me his assets to make up for his mistakes. It's got nothing to do with you. As for whether the fire was an accident, how about we check the security footage?" Brianna was stunned, muttering, "No way. Everything burned down. How could there be footage? If you had it, you'd have shown it already. Why wait until now? Don't try to pull one over on me. It was just an accident!"

Broken electronics, lost texts, and food or water scraps that would have meant the difference between life and death were among the items discovered in these ruins. Under layers of dust and soot, the elaborate decorations on a broken urn were hardly discernible when she brushed her fingers over its jagged edges. Ash from the empire covered her flesh and clung to her clothing. The more she searched, the more she understood that the fire had just scattered the ruins of a broken world, even though she had previously believed it had destroyed everything. She had once been a part of a world that she had known.

Andrew replied calmly, "That's her problem, not ours. If it weren't for Logan and Mr. Keller Senior, I wouldn't bother." Aspen pouted. "Well, I don't like her. Anyone who targets my man gets on my bad side." Andrew was about to respond when his expression suddenly shifted. "Get down!" He lunged forward and pulled Aspen down, shielding her as they dropped.

Aspen looked up, her body trembling. "Our car exploded?"
