Lilith's POV
It can't be true, right? What kind of nonsense is this? Ha! What has my foolhardy stubbornness gotten me into now?
Bastian has two children with his brother's wife? This family gives off serious horror movie vibes, one terrible secret after another, and somehow, I'm always caught in the middle of this madness. I need to leave.
I turn away, trying to move my stiff legs, but they feel like lead. I drag them forward, forcing myself to walk, ignoring the way Bastian's face drains of color when our eyes meet. His blue eyes are filled with fear. Hurt.
"Lilith, please, wait." His voice is desperate. No, I can't. I just need to get out of here. I can't be here.
"Please, just listen to me," he says, his voice breaking in a way that shreds my heart into a million pieces
