SHANTI'S P.O.V
I couldn't believe it, she was gone. Poof. Disappeared in the night.
It was a relief in a way. There would be no more looking over my shoulder. No more praying that he wasn't going to drop me at her beck and call. I was free from the bond they shared. Even better, Elias was free from it as well. He could now love me how he was supposed to.
With her around, the love mist wasn't working to its full extent. I won't lie, he was definitely a wreck after her leaving. But I knew with time, it would pass. Eventually, if her name was spoken, it wouldn't phase him. For now, I will continue to pick up the pieces that she left scattered. But I knew in my heart that he would love me wholeheartedly, just like he loved her. I just had to wait. I just hoped it wasn't too long.
