“I owe you an apology.” Claire shook her head. “No.” “You owe Daniel one.” ⸻ Amelia picked up the missing journal. Unlike the others, this one had no dates. Only a title. The Promise. She opened to the first page. Daniel’s familiar handwriting filled the paper. If Claire is standing beside you, then she kept her promise. Amelia swallowed hard. She continued reading. You may struggle to trust her. I don’t blame you. But if she survived this long, it means she carried the burden I asked her to bear.

She had never encountered such situation in her life before to prepare her enough for the betrayal she was currently experiencing. “Dad,” she said quietly, “tell them.” Richard stiffened. Her chest tightened with each delayed breath. Just Tell them.Tell them she never agreed. Tell them Sophia ran away. Tell them she was forced into this. But instead He avoided her eyes. “The Hart family still intends to honor the alliance.” Something inside Amelia dropped Painfully. “What?” she whispered. Richard finally looked at her. His voice lowered. “Don’t do this.” Don’t do this? She almost screamed.

Amelia promised, imagining that Dylan would remind her of her promise every day for the rest of their stay in that mansion. "Promise?" The boy stretched out his little finger. Amelia marked a smile on her lips. "I promise". The rest of the trip was silence, Maximiliano parked in an empty spot, asking the woman and her son to get off, they were about to be late. Amelia helped Dylan down, then down she went, letting out a yawn that mutedly announced the sleepiness she felt. The image of Maximiliano's strong body closing all the doors of that huge car was one that reminded her, for some reason, of the naked man. The memory was very fresh in her mind, she feared he would come back to life every

FLASHBACK After Callum left the room, giving Amelia the promise of her life’s safety, she immediately decided to go to his father to refuse the wedding, just like she had promised to him. She didn’t want to break her promise, believing he was also going to do the same because they both were totally against this wedding, so she would do what he wanted and he would give her what she needed. Her life’s freedom. “So you have already started trusting Callum, Princess Amelia?” That unfamiliar voice made Amelia turn around. Her brows arched in confusion, seeing a woman at the door. Her blank grey eyes were fixed at her. Who was this woman? She had never seen her before.

“ Not really , I was worried about you . I made your favourite meal. I'm sure Miss Emily doesn't know. “ Amelia said looking at Emily provocatively Emily remained silent; she didn't want to say anything and she felt like Amelia was just trying to make her talk . “ You can go now , Emily already fed me and there's no need for you to come here to take care of the child at home. “ Casper said with a frown Amelia left after all her attempts failed . “Emily what's wrong ?.” Casper couldn't bear the silence again so he asked “ Am fine , just tired of everything that's happening . Everyone is just scheming and you wouldn't know who's going to betray you next. “ Emily said truthfully “ Am not going

Amelia’s POV (Epilogue 1) 365 Days Later The city had learned to breathe again. It wasn’t quieter, no city ever really was, but it was softer now, slower somehow, like it had been forced to remember that silence existed between all the noise. Amelia stood outside the narrow glass building tucked between a flower shop and a laundromat, squinting at the modest sign over the door: “Rook Security & Consulting.” The font was simple, understated. The kind of name that blended in. Which, knowing Kelvin, was entirely the point.

Luna Amara and Amelia looked down at her with mean smiles. Amelia was still complaining. "This is all wrong. We should not be running like scared rabbits." Silas had had enough. He grabbed Amelia by the shoulders and shoved her into the carriage. "Shut up!" he yelled. "I am tired of your whining!" He slammed the door and hit the side of the carriage. "Go!" he yelled to the driver. "Take them to the safe house. I will come get you when this is over." The driver cracked his whip and the horses started to run. The carriage bounced and shook as it rolled over the rough ground.

Even though so much has happened and that strong friendship that they used to have has suddenly turned into hatred for each other Shirley still couldn't overlook the promise she made to Amelia. Both of them knew that Amelia was always the sick one so Shirley promise that even if it has to be her life she will do everything to make sure that nothing happens to Amelia, this is a promise she made to her when they were young so she felt maybe right now is a punishment for making such promise because she would have to fulfill it. Shirley isn’t the type to go back on her promise. She is ready and willing to do everything that it takes to make sure that she could fulfil her promise.

“Whatever he makes you do, whatever happens, I’ll find a way to get you out. I promise.” “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” “I mean it.” The door closed behind him. Amelia stood there, staring at the empty space he’d left behind. Her chest felt hollow. Like something had been carved out and thrown away. She picked up the duffel bag and the photo frame. Her phone buzzed again. The car is outside. She took one last look around the apartment. At the couch where she’d slept when Dan had nightmares. At the kitchen where she’d burned more meals than she’d cooked. At the window where she used to sit and imagine a different life.

Something overwhelming. Something destined. Now she understood. Love was this. Keeping a broken carving for over a decade because someone important had made it. Protecting letters. Preserving rooms. Remembering tiny details nobody else noticed. The realization left her breathless. Silas shifted slightly. Then spoke. "Aurelia." The way he said her name made everything else disappear. His gaze never left hers. "I don't need promises." Her chest tightened. "I know." "And I don't need answers right now."
