Chapter 196 One Last Night

Nina's POV

  Fate always joked with me. It tended to take away everything and everyone I cherished, including my father, Henry, and Lola. My life always fell off a cliff when it was getting a little better.

  The witch's words echoed in my mind, and I could not fall asleep at all. I put Lola to bed and left the room alone.

  The palace was full of collapsed buildings. I looked at my broken home and walked in a daze. By the time I came back to my senses, I was at church. I looked at the fallen cross, so numb that I couldn't feel a thing.

  "You should put on more clothes."

  A coat with Henry's warmth was put on my shoulder. I looked back and met Henry's brown eyes. He stood beside me, and we looked up at the moon at the same time. Neither of us spoke.
