Chapter 85 – Lucian's thought.
(Few days after the charity ball)
The city stretched beneath me like a restless sea of light Arden's skyline glittering with power, ambition, and everything I used to care about before Rina and the twins came into my world,into my life. I stood at the edge of my balcony, the wind biting through my shirt, my thoughts louder than the traffic hum below.
A few days had passed since the charity ball, yet the echo of that night refused to leave me. Rina's presence there had shifted something I didn't think could move anymore. She wasn't just my secret anymore; she was my calm in a room full of noise the only thing real in a place built on masks and hunger,I didn't know I was capable of loving a woman like this, until I met her.
But that same night reminded me of something cruel the world I came from doesn't forgive vulnerability.
And Rina, my love… she is my greatest one.
