This girl who'd systematically destroyed my entire life in less than twenty-four hours. "Give it back." My voice was flat and low. "Why? So you can cry over it? So you can pretend you're some tragic heroine?" She flipped through the pages. "You know what I realized, Nova? You always thought you were better than us. With your perfect grades, the virginity you always flaunted and your humble scholarship and your 'oh- I don't need money to be happy' act." "I never—" "But you're not better. You're worse.

Not the heir he needed. And under it all, the girl I used to be. The girl who loved reading. Who laughed with her brother? Who believed she could be alpha without becoming a monster. That girl was dead. Killed slowly over years of abuse and trauma and impossible choices. But now I remembered her. Saw her clearly. Felt her grief like it was fresh. I came back to the cave. Gasping. Crying. Whole but shattered. Kade was beside me. He had been crying too. Had seen his own painful memories. His own lost his innocence.

Until tonight. Freya shifted slightly in my hold. She pulled back just enough to look up at me—those big, soft eyes searching my face. I looked back at her. God, the innocence of her. The way she stood so close, it was like looking at a different species. She looked so damn innocent—so clean. Having her this close has always been a special kind of torture for me—it woke something vicious and protective at the same time. Even in this grief-soaked night, the second she pressed closer, I felt the fight start again inside my chest: the need to ruin her and the need to shield her, warring like always.

# Chapter Seventy-Eight: When Everything Burns --- I stood in Silvermoon's central square, staring at one hundred nineteen bodies laid out in rows, and felt something inside me break. Not metaphorically. I felt the exact moment when the part of me that had been trying to change the world through principles and process just... shattered. Replaced by something rawer. Something that cared less about cosmic justice and more about the teenage boy who had talked about learning from failures now lying cold on the ground.

that was once a crown and was now, in my mind, a shattered thing. The contradiction was a jagged pill to swallow. The world I grew up in demanded virginity as the only metric of value, yet that choice had been violently stripped from me. I had been raped repeatedly, my body treated like a resource rather than a temple, yet I still carried the crushing guilt of "lost" innocence - as if I were the one who had failed. In this soft, romantic moment, I felt like a pretender, waiting for Tad to realize that the "treasure" he thought he was courting had been stolen and discarded long ago.

That night, I locked myself in their guest bathroom and scrubbed my face until it burned — not because it was dirty, but because I felt wrong inside my own skin. Now, kneeling on my bedroom floor, I picked up the broken pieces of the mug — small shards, glittering like little truths. The handle had snapped clean off. And I thought: That’s what they did to me. Not in one cruel blow. But in a thousand small ways. A glance. A correction. A sigh. Each one a tiny fracture, until I believed I was already shattered. They would look at me — broken, scattered — and say, “Look what you did. You can’t fix this.”

The tabloids called her untouchable. None of them called her Aria. She slipped her phone into her bag and looked through the window at the skyline. Manhattan was lit up like it was showing off, all those towers stacked against the darkening sky, and she felt something twist in her gut, not fear, not sadness, something sharper than both. She’d left this city on her knees, soaking wet, with nothing. She was coming back in a sixty-million-dollar aircraft wearing custom couture. Funny how revenge reshapes a person.

She forgot to breathe and when her body forced her to breathe again, she only took shallow breaths to not wake him up. Ever so slowly she moved back a little and tilted her body in a way so she could look at him properly. She didn't want to admit this but her heartbeat increased as she took in his features. He looked so innocent, just like a baby. A baby who had lost so much yet he stayed strong. Come to think of it, they both had lost so much in their lives. They both were broken but stayed strong and fought. They both were shattered pieces of glass but somehow these shards when put together make a beautiful puzzle.

I looked up at the front wall, not wanting to meet his gaze anymore because he could see my broken soul inside, which I always hide from everyone. "They stole everything from me—my hope, my innocence, and my very sense of self. For those two years, I was deprived of sunlight, the comfort of human touch, and the love that every child deserves at that tender age. My tears seemed to dry up, and a hollow emptiness settled within me as I faced the stark reality of my shattered life and the cruelty of the world when I was supposed to stay in the safe cocoon of my parents." I cried and cried and cried. My whole body was shaking uncontrollably and I knew that Vincenzo was looking at me, listening to
