Chapter 105
- Third Person’s POV

- “I never did this because of worth or unworthiness, and I never did it simply for Celeste,” she said, her voice low but steady. “I did it for myself. I will never forget the look in her eyes the day she stood before me—desperate, hunted, as if I were the last piece of driftwood she could cling to in a storm.”
