Chapter 126 Shadows Of Forgiveness

• Rachel POV
• The late afternoon light filtered through the sheer curtains of my Miami home, casting a soft, golden haze across the sage-green walls, the room aglow with the warmth of lavender candles, their flickering flames a quiet promise of peace, a peace I’d fought for, bled for, won.
• Jeremy and I had settled into the rhythm of our life here, our sanctuary, where the scent of his cedar-and-musk cologne lingered on the couch cushions, where our scruffy terrier, Milo, napped in a sunbeam, his soft snores a gentle lullaby, where the ring on my finger sparkled, a diamond that marked us as fiancés, a vow sealed in the Morrow mansion’s dining room, a love blessed by Nick and Scarlett’s acceptance, a love that had survived the darkest storms.
