So I hadn't been wrong about her after all. If she were truly innocent, hearing that my legs had recovered would have made her happy. Instead she was certain it was impossible. I stood up right in front of her. "Caleb, how are y-y-you… There's no way you can stand!" She caught herself and gave an awkward laugh. "I mean, are your legs all better now? Let's go to the hospital and get you checked out." Something gave out in me all at once. I fell to the floor. Everything became clear. My mouth opened and closed a few times. In the end I swallowed the words I wanted to say.

The heavy door closed behind her with a resounding thud, completely blocking her from his view and extinguishing the last traces of hope that he had been clinging on to. Caden stood rooted to the spot, reminiscent of a statue that had been abandoned outside among harsh winds. The bag he was holding suddenly felt unbearably heavy, feeling as if it was carrying all of his regrets and futile efforts. Meanwhile in the villa, Victoria leaned her back against the cold door before slowly sliding down onto the floor. Rain began to fall outside the window. She would be lying to herself if she said that she didn't feel upset. She could feel a small but familiar ache in her chest, but mostly she felt a

No future. Just now. By the time exhaustion finally claimed us, the sky outside was lightening with the first hints of dawn.

Dante Everything happened so fucking fast, there wasn’t enough time for us to react. Apart from the sudden charge from a new party, explosions from all directions keep shaking the ground causing the prisoners to panic. Two distinct gunshots ring in the air bringing my attention back to Jean. “Adeline!” Jean’s voice pierces through and I watch her dive for Adeline. A close distance from where she lies is the chief’s body, as the life drains out of him, watering the ground with his blood.

Nadia's POV It's another day at the shop. Another day to delve into the madness of this world and everything it brings. The atmosphere crackles with an electric charge, suffusing the air and constricting my lungs. Sunlight filters through the delicate lace curtains, casting intricate shadows on the threadbare carpet, while the room itself seems to hold its breath, poised for the imminent clash. And I know that from the moment I place my legs on the ground and leave my bed, I will not catch a moment's rest until I come back home again.

"Especially those who are good at math." She fell completely silent because she barely scraped through in high school. Fabian heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, some peace.

I stared at mama who was also shocked and with mixed surprise at who was the stranger at our door. I want to nod and say ‘Yes mama. He is. ' but I literally pushed myself into my position. I could do nothing but tighten the grip on Cole's hand because I knew any moment I would fall. "I'm sorry for disturbing, good evening." When I heard his heavy footsteps moving away, my eyes widened and only then did I had the courage to move my body. I quickly turned around and took a step to follow him but on my second step, I fell. Shit.

He turned to ash and was carried away by the wind. Lydia fell. She fell through the clear, silent air, the gold light fading into a soft, dying ember. She hit the snow at the edge of the basin, the drift cushioning her fall. The world was quiet. The blizzard was gone. The stars were visible for the first time in months, vast and indifferent. Adrian reached her first. He tumbled into the snow beside her, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He pulled her into his lap, his tears hot against her cold skin.

I don't think I can go through that pain again. I sink into my seat, realization hitting me like a firing ball. I've once again belittled myself in front of him. Caleb Da Stephano.
