Chapter 78 Destined For The Throne

• I sit beside her, unmoving, barely breathing, as if the smallest shift might break her entirely. Kali lies on the bed like a thread stretched thin between life and death, and damn it, it kills me to see her like this.
• She’s always been this unshakable force of nature—sharp tongue, unbreakable will. A woman who didn’t just walk into my life but tore through it like a hurricane I never saw coming. I hated her once. Or maybe I pretended to, just to protect whatever piece of pride I had left.
• But now? I love her. I fucking love her. And seeing her like this makes something deep in my chest ache and burn all at once.
