Chapter 45

• Fiona’s POV
• I will admit, Kai seemed almost godlike to me sometimes.
• He held a status in my heart unlike anyone else, a singular brilliance that eclipses all others. It wasn’t just admiration, it was reverence, as if he exists on a plane above the rest of us, untouched by the ordinary. Whenever he enters a room, it feels as though the air changes—charged with something electric yet serene. His presence commands attention, not through force, but through an unspoken, effortless authority.
