Chapter 474: The glass castle of trust and love broke
Elliana wiped her cheeks before walking to the washroom and washing her face.
Once she ensured she looked alright, she walked back to the bed and lay flat on her side, looking at the moon one last time before she closed her eyes.
’Something terrible is about to happen. It’s related to Sebastian. But no matter what, don’t leave him,’
Yaretzi’s words echoed in her ears, and another tear rolled down her cheeks.
’If you love and care for him, you will leave him and try your best to stay away so he doesn’t get caught up in your mess,’ Leila’s words came next, and she snuggled in the blanket in a cocoon shape.
If she loved him, she would leave him.
Love wasn’t all about staying close and having a beautiful life together. It was about sacrificing yourself if the person you love is happy without you.
That was what Nathaniel did for her too. That was what she needed to do. If she wanted to see him have a happy life and get what he wanted, the throne, she would have to leave him for good.
She was hesitating earlier.
A part of her wanted to believe that despite his hatred for the dark witches and how he drew the line of acceptance with everything apart from that species, he would still give her a chance.
As selfish as it sounded in her head, she wanted to believe it, and that was the same reason she was conflicting with her own thoughts and actions. She wanted Mr. Marino to let go of his animosity or whatever it was and give in to her, to suffer a little just to keep her with himself.
