Chapter 34 Betrayal of the Heart

In the heart of Nexus, a sprawling virtual city, the bustling streets were a whirlwind of colors and holographic displays. Towering spires reached for the digital heavens, their lights casting a mesmerizing kaleidoscope across the polished walkways. It was a city that never slept, alive with the hum of life and the crackling energy of anticipation. Yet, beneath the vibrant façade, emotions simmered, threatening to ignite like a smoldering ember.

My footsteps echoed through the neon-lit alleys, each stride carrying the weight of unspoken words and tangled emotions. Beside me, Eve walked with a grace that seemed to defy the turmoil within our group. Her silver hair flowed like liquid moonlight, a stark contrast to the city's vivid hues. Her emerald eyes, framed by long lashes, held a quiet strength, a testament to her resilience.
