Chapter 50

• Present
• Dominic sat in his study room, his eyes fixed on the papers scattered across his desk, but his mind was a thousand miles away. He was deep in thought, consumed by the memories of Valarie, the love of his life. It had been three weeks since that fateful night when she had fallen from the waterfall, and yet, Dominic's heart refused to accept that she was gone.
• He couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that had been weighing him down since that night. If only he had been more careful, if only he had been able to save her... The what-ifs swirled in his mind like a vortex, sucking him down into a sea of despair.
