"My biggest mistake was not understanding my own heart," Nestor gazed deeply at Selina, his eyes sincere and passionate.

Dedication. For the hearts that break, burn, and bloom again. To every soul who has ever been rejected, forgotten, or silenced — this story is for you. There are moments in life when we believe our pain makes us unworthy of love, when the world feels too dark to remember the warmth we once carried.

She had loved me despite it all. And what had I done? I had pushed her away. A lump formed in my throat as I looked at her now, lying so still, fighting for her life. If she didn’t wake up, if I lost her… I didn’t think I could live with myself.

" I thought I had prepared myself to face these emotions. But as I spoke, the tears still betrayed me and fell uncontrollably. "Daryl, all that talk about loving me—it wasn't love. You're just unwilling to let go of me because of my status now. You don't love me—you only love yourself." The pain in my chest was unbearable. My voice cracked, and a hollow rasp echoed through my words. The emotional strain felt like a constant, gnawing ache. When I thought of the love I had wasted on him, my heart felt like it was being torn apart. Daryl finally looked up and said hoarsely, "Natalie, I'm so sorry.
