Chapter 121

• The weight of guilt pressed down on me like a suffocating blanket, each breath a struggle against the overwhelming sense of failure that threatened to consume me. Alone in the darkness of my chambers, I tossed and turned, unable to find solace in sleep as the echoes of Vanessa’s absence reverberated through the empty spaces around me.
• With each passing moment, the anger within me simmered and seethed, a fierce blaze of frustration and self-loathing that burned bright against the backdrop of my thoughts. Hunter's silence echoed in the depths of my mind, a silent condemnation of my failures, his presence a constant reminder of the bond I had broken.
