Veda's tears fell like rain, her heart shattered into a million pieces as Adyant's words echoed in her mind: "Hate, disgust, and contempt. I feel them every time I see your face." She wandered aimlessly, lost in thought, until she found herself in the garden. The stars above twinkled like diamonds, but her world felt dark and empty. She was surrounded with peace and calm but only she knew the chaos which was pacing with high intensity inside her mind.

For a moment, the fatigue faded from his face, and the sharp look he once had came back. He watched me expectantly, awaiting my answer. I shook my head gently. "Evan, I'll always remember that you saved me, and I'll forever be grateful. But we can't go back to the way things were. I can't accept you again. It's not that I hate you. It's just that the feelings are gone." The brightness in his eyes faded instantly. His smile froze, and his gaze became unfocused. He was clearly struggling to accept this harsh reality.

It’s hurting. “Come and take it.” She holds it out to me, but the moment I take a step forward to grab it, she lifts the frame high up and lets it free fall to the floor. I watch my entire world shatter into pieces against the hard tiled floor together with the only beautiful thing I had left of my family. The glasses of the frame fly all over the place and our broken smiles on the picture lay miserable on the floor. Tears blur my eyes as I look from the shattered frame to Rhea and her wicked laugh tips me over the edge. Wrath spreads through my limbs like larva.

I made sure they paid—in the cruelest, most humiliating way possible. I tore my father’s company apart, crushed his legacy, and gathered allies who wanted him ruined just as much as I did. And just when I thought I had nothing left to lose, I found my fiancée in bed with my half-brother, Gregory. Chanel had been the last illusion I had about love. And when that illusion shattered, I stopped believing in anything. I swore off women. I lived recklessly, throwing myself into work, into power, into winning.

The memory was a shard of glass in my heart. “What we had?” The words were quiet, but they cut deeper than a shout. “You mean the years you let me believe I was broken, while you knew the truth? The art you stole from me? The child you murdered? That’s not a marriage, Vincent. That’s a damnation.” "It was a misunderstanding! It was all Sophia’s plan!" Vincent sobbed, tears and blood mixing on his face. "I already made her pay! I made her life a living hell!"

He paused, watching her closely, as if weighing whether or not she'd bolt. "So I pushed you away. I told myself I was protecting you, but really, I was protecting myself. From being revealed. From being open. From letting anyone know how fucking scared I was." A breath stuck in Isla's throat. Her fingers tightened around her cup. Killian continued, his voice softer now. "I thought that control was the only thing that prevented me from shattering. That if I just controlled everything—my business, my relationships, even you—I would never shatter. But I was wrong. I lost you, and I shattered."

Unless if it stated that the partnership was only as long as they were together. Before Christen could explain what happened between her and Forrest, and about the woman he truly fell in love with, her mother shouted, “I don’t know what you did wrong, and I don’t care. But you better fix this, right now! Without Riverdale’s support, our company will fall into ruin! And we don’t have time to find someone else who can partner with us! Assuming if there is anyone who is willing to partner with the family of a useless daughter! Who so foolishly angered Mr. Riverdale enough to get a divorce! Go back to him, apologize for whatever mistake you’ve done, and see to it that we get our life back!” Hear

He looked serious now, “It’s that powerful?” “I’ll tell you this, it destroyed my universe, yes, it’s that powerful, now let’s go” I didn’t want to remember the how that damned shard wiped out my people, all because of my father’s greed. I’ll always hate him for that. As I walk through the portal, I get flashes of my past. The reddened sky, my mother screaming at me to run as the harbingers destroyed her, turning her into one of them. My father laughing hysterically, completely insane from being infused with chaos. The screams of the people as I ran through the streets, the shard stabbing through my chest. The shard pulling me through a portal as my world was destroyed and overrun by harbing

“Do you have everything?” I asked my brother as he got out of my car. “If I don’t, I’ll be back in a couple of months with Mom and Dad and get it then.” I grimaced for the umpteenth time, and he gave me a bland look. “Marley, I’m telling you. It will be good for the whole family. Mom and Dad need to see how they fucked up, and they need to see what it can look like when shifters and humans actually co-exist so they don’t just wind up on the wrong side of history forever.”

I wasn’t just breaking things, I was smashing the life we had built together, a life that was now nothing more than a lie. By the time I stopped, the living room was in shambles. Glass shards littered the floor, photo frames were broken and scattered everywhere, and the walls looked bare, stripped of the happy memories that had once filled them. I stood in the center of the wreckage, chest heaving, hands trembling, as the adrenaline drained from my body.
