Chapter 180: Cradled In Devil’s Arms
Hearing the cries of the life you have nurtured within 8 months was like a new breath of life. I have never felt warmth like never before, like my very soul was uplifted and all the pain I drowned in came to a pause... finally able to hear her, I have brought her into this world and I wanted nothing more than to protect her and ensure she sees only the light.
My Estel Darkmore.
"Ava"
My weak gaze found Adina’s but I was too weak to see properly because my eyelids were heavy. It was blurry but I couldn’t help the smile on my lips as I watched Estel in Adina’s arms, she looked at her like a new hope and that was just what she is.
My hope
My joy
"She’s here" Adina sobbed looking at me with teary eyes and I smiled weakly at her. "She’s so beautiful," she cried.
"Hmm"
My heart instantly cuts when the doors suddenly badge open and alert both of us. A wave of panic washed upon my very body and mind, as I heard haunting footsteps. I wanted so badly to move but I couldn’t... But the presence, it was always that presence, I knew it was no doubt Aldon.
He’s here.
I watched weakly as Adina held Estel in a protective hold as Aldon stalked towards her in haunting footsteps.
