CHAPTER 118 The Unveiling Embrace

  Anastasia Pov

  The feeling of helplessness washes over me like a dark tide threatening to drag me into the depths. I feel my mother's absence as a physical loss, a void that no presence can fill. I am alone once more, without her tangible guidance, only her words, and the memory of her love serving as a beacon in the darkness. Every fiber of my being cries out for her presence, yearning to hear her voice once more, to feel her comforting touch that always managed to calm my deepest fears.
