"Overestimate yourself." And then his voice cracks tighter, like a knife against my ribs. "You couldn't save your mate." "You couldn't even keep your own son alive but I bet they don't know any of that do they?" He knew where to hurt. He always did. A flash of pain passed through me. .but I didn't break a single sweat. "It was a mistake," I say softly. "One I've paid for." But Evelessa? She is not a mistake. She's everything you'll never understand. She has a gift more deadly than any curse you've given free will."

“You shouldn’t be hurting like this. Not here. Not with me.” The words sank deep. Even through the pain. Even through the haze. A soft pressure touched my forehead. A kiss. Not playful. Not teasing. Grounding. Possessive. “I’m really sorry…” Something dark flickered behind those words. Not just regret. Something heavier. Something that didn’t forgive. Not easily.

And Arnold… wasn’t the kind of man who let mistakes live.

As the day continued, Lina’s instability didn’t increase dramatically, it didn’t disappear either, it stayed in small moments. None of them are large enough individually to trigger a strong reaction, but together, they created a visible pattern. One she could not ignore anymore. By afternoon, Lina’s breathing was steadier, but her focus felt heavier. She wasn’t just performing anymore, she was enduring and endurance was different from progress.

But her gaze stayed on Lina longer than usual with controlled concern. Becau

I whispered in disbelief. “It was a mistake.” I laughed bitterly through my tears. “A mistake?” “Yes.” “No.” I shook my head violently. “A mistake is accidentally putting salt instead of sugar into tea.

You didn’t accidentally fall into bed with her.”

With an air of disinterest, he opened the box to reveal a stunning golden band with an intricate diamond. Emily gasped, her eyes widening with genuine admiration. “This is beautiful,” she cooed, extending her hand eagerly for him to place the ring on her finger. He slid the ring onto her finger, feeling an unexpected softness as their fingers touched. For a heartbeat, he mistakenly held her gaze a moment longer than necessary, caught off guard by the flicker of something beyond annoyance in her eyes. As soon as he released her hand from his grip, Emily smiled, admiring the glint of the ring on her finger.

In his final moments, lying in a hospital bed surrounded by silence, he whispered my name over and over again. "Victoria, I was wrong. If there's another life… I swear I'll never make the same mistake." In the end, both of them spent the rest of their lives trying to atone for what they had done. But some mistakes, once made, could never truly be undone.

Keeping me from making the biggest mistake of my life. Keeping me from choosing her over everything I've been raised to value. But as I watch Celeste laugh with her friends, as I listen to them dissect every moment of Evangeline's humiliation, something inside me whispers that maybe the mistake isn't choosing her.

“I’m trying. I’m trying not to mess this up. I want us to work. I want to be better. But I’m human. I’m not perfect. And every time I feel like I might lose control, I… I make mistakes.” Elias’s laugh was bitter, shaking with anger and pain. “Mistakes?
