he finally said. I felt my heart crack wider with every word leaving his mouth. “You’re poor, Lydia,” Ryan continued bluntly while his friends watched the scene uncomfortably. “You’re an orphan with a sick little brother and absolutely nothing attached to your name.” The humiliation burned through me so hard I physically trembled standing there. “I come from a completely different status than you,” he added calmly. “Marriage was never realistic between people like us.”

The scandal had been a catalyst, propelling us into a new chapter filled with purpose and a renewed sense of determination. Hand in hand, we walked into the future, knowing that as long as we had each other, we could overcome any obstacle. We had faced the depths of despair and emerged victorious, a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the unwavering belief in the truth that resided within us. And with that, we embarked on the next chapter of our extraordinary journey, ready to embrace whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that together, we were invincible.

All of us working toward the same goal. A multiverse worth living in. Worth fighting for. Worth passing on to the next generation. That was enough. That was everything. That was perfect. Exactly as it should be. Exactly as it would always be. Forever.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
