Chapter 231

• Nexus was speechless by the time I finished talking and we both sat, basking in silence while staring into space as he tried to process what I just shared. I too was trying to process it all over again having relived the trauma in my head as I shared the story.
• Because of what I had to give up, I had to either do away with Amara or continue to fall deeper for her at the expense of myself knowing it would only end in my death. It had already become my doom the moment I met her and began to have feelings for her.
• The curse was already eating me up when I tended to her out of care and not pretense. And from my wounds not healing to the old ones bleeding, it could progress into sickness and eventually my death. I knew it'd end in my painful untimely death but how it would happen was uncertain.
