“I know you want to save the world, but you’re only one person.” He chuckled softly. “That’s not my goal.” “But it is, because you want to be the people’s hero,” I reminded him. “I do not.” Yet the smile on his lips lingered.

“I don’t know how I feel. It’s a blend of everything.” “Good or bad things?” he asked, and I shrugged in response, then drummed my fingers against the water. “Placing it into boxes of this and that would be a disservice,” I said after a short silence, and he nodded as an understanding look crossed his face. “I get it. It’s a lot of things happening at the same time, and the aftermath just leaves you overwhelmed.” “Exactly. But enough of all that.

Her voice was low, and I could tell she was already plotting thousands of possibilities. I swallowed hard trying to put myself together. “Now, Camilla! There's no time for your drama.” Drama? The word resounded in my head, piercing through my chest like a sword. “Mom I…” My voice was barely audible. “I…I don't think I… can do this anymore,” “Camilla,” Her voice carried her usual coldness. “Tell me what's wrong. Now.” “I–I'm screwing things up too quickly, Mom,” I sobbed. “And I—I'm feeling so overwhelmed. I—I”

Caden's POV The day couldn't get any worse. Restless and overwhelmed, I found myself pacing incessantly in my study, my mind teetering on the brink of madness. The weight of responsibilities pressed down on me, squeezing the life out of my sanity. It was as if I were trapped in an ever-tightening vice, unable to escape the suffocating grip of my obligations.

You're overwhelmed." "Same thing." "It's not. Isla, you're trying to do everything. Be everything. Supermom. Super CEO. Super wife. It's too much."

The surge of their energy pounding through me. An overwhelming feeling.
