Chapter 347

The sun fell perfectly on my skin as I lounged by the poolside in our family yard, with Rona and Victoria by my side.

Everything was peaceful, so peaceful I couldn’t even believe it was real. Life had gone back to the way it use to as this was how we used to spend our days in the past.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel happy for her. She deserved this happiness, this chance at love.
