Chapter 113 I Won't Go Back On My Words

• Serena's POV:
• The morning light crept through the cabin's curtains, casting a soft, golden glow over everything. I opened my eyes, feeling the coolness of the sheets as I turned over to see Adrian still asleep beside me. His face looked peaceful, almost like the tension that usually creased his forehead had finally melted away. It was one of those rare moments when I could pretend, just for a second, that our lives were normal.
• But it didn’t last long. That nagging feeling, like a shadow in the back of my mind, wouldn’t let me fully enjoy the peace. There was still so much hanging over us, so many unresolved threats. It felt like we were living on borrowed time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
