“My grandma needs me.

I’ve got to go. You should head htoo.”

Once the call ended, Marcus couldn’t shake the feeling that something sinister lay behind Millie’s fainting episode. If she were in Preagend, he would have thoroughly checked her for hidden wounds.

Wounds too small to notice, yet significant enough to warrant concern.

The next day, Shera paid Celeste a visit. It took her half a day to recount her harrowing ordeal, convincing Celeste she was still among the Living.

Gazing at Shera with sorrow, Celeste seemed to be considering how much better it would be if Shera were her daughter-in-law.

“I can’t believe Rhea would go to such lengths. I’ve always considered her to be innocent and even saw her as a daughter. To hear what you’ve endured is heartbreaking.”

Shera gripped Celeste’s hand and shook her head.

“I never would’ve guessed that my own sister could be so cruel. Thankfully, I’m back now, and I can keep you company more often.”

Celeste studied Shera, her eyes filled with worry. She had always admired Shera’s grace and modesty.

“You look so frail. Your skin is ashen, like you’ve been devoid of sunlight for too long. Where’s Rhea? I need to give her a piece of my mind. Her actions are so disturbing, they’re starting to frighten me.”

“Rhea’s too ashamed to face you now that her plans have been uncovered,” Shera remarked, believing Rhea had no right to step out of the damp, dark place she was hiding.

“Has Marcus been told of your return?” Celeste inquired, her eyes still filled with the hopeful notion that Shera and Marcus were meant for each other.

“I did see him Last night. I won’t lie, over the past five years, the thought of ending it all crossed my mind more times than I care to admit. But the possibility of seeing Marcus again keptgoing.

It was my lifeline. But… when I finally returned, I learned he’s married.”

Shera’s voice broke as she spoke, her eyes cast downward.

Celeste felt a mixture of sadness and guilt. Had she not been so eager to find Marcus a wife, maybe Shera would’ve returned to a different life.

Celeste had learned that Millie, whom she wasn’t fond of, was actually the gifted designer behind Sky Heart.

No matter how talented Millie became, Celeste’s deeply rooted biases wouldn’t change her mind.

“What did Marcus say when he saw you?”

Shera knew that Celeste’s sympathy would likely be on her side.

“He was shocked. He offered to helpwith whatever I needed. The truth is, I love Marcus. I don’t see myself as less than Millie. Can you help me?”

For a moment, Celeste was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Shera to be so forthright, but she didn’t dismiss the idea.

Yet, Celeste was torn. Marcus was in love with Millie, and despite her own efforts, she had never managed to separate them.
