Suddenly, he remembered the day when Lilith had caught him and Lia together.
Is that how it felt?
His chest ached, his eyes became dazed. That time… he didn't care. He wasn't even sure what he was doing. Other people didn't matter, especially not Lilith, who back then he thought was cold, boring, and too difficult to understand. She felt like a duty his grandfather gave him.
He was foolish. So foolish.
He had convinced himself Lilith didn't matter. She was boring. Cold. Too perfect, too quiet. And compared to Lia, she was… forgettable. At least, that's what he thought.
Back then, all he saw was Lia's brightness. Her charm. Her smile.
But now? Now she was a venom he willingly drank until he bled from the inside.
And Lilith had turned into someone the world couldn't ignore.
Strong. Sharp. Beautiful. Unbothered. Dangerous.
And yet… she never looked back. Not even once. She erased him from her world like he never existed.
A bitter smile touched his lips.
