Max: Give You a....whattttt
Tears welled in Avey's eyes, blurring her vision.
She didn't know whether to feel relieved or devastated.
Reality was crashing down on her raw and unforgiving.
Max's words weren't just answers they were shattering something deep inside her. Breaking the invisible chains she had never even realized were there.
Fate.
Who?
Why?
Why had someone twisted her life, Lucian's life, into something so cruel?
Avey felt a storm of emotions raging inside her. Anger. Grief Helplessness.
She had no control over any of it.
The choices she thought were hers…weren't.
The pain she caused… wasn't truly her fault.
The love she had buried, the guilt she had carried, all of it had been forced onto her.
She finally understood Diablo's words.
Her body felt too heavy to move.
She just sat there, silent tears spilling down her face.
Not sobbing. Not speaking.
Just letting it sink in.
