Aviva POV

For a moment, everything was silent, except for the gentle buzzing of insects in the vineyard. Mrs. Tremblay's eyes were fixed on me, waiting for my answer.

I could feel Joel watching from a distance, And yet, I knew I couldn't give in. I couldn't condemn myself to a life of misery, even if it meant enduring the Tremblay Manor.

I slowly rose to my feet, "No, I would do it. And besides, Joel and I haven't gotten to know each other yet, why not take it slowly "I clenched my fist.

You see, being a Tremblay comes with certain...responsibilities."He paused, "As a water witch, you possess a power that few others can even imagine," he said, his voice growing hushed and intense. "You have the ability to shape and control water, to bend it to your will. But with that power comes a price."He looked at you meaningfully, his gaze intense and searching. "You must decide, Avi," he said. "Will you embrace your heritage and accept your place in the Tremblay family? Or will you turn your back on your destiny and walk away from it all?"" Huh!"

"Thank you," I whispered.For so long, I had been trapped in Dad’s and the Tremblays' web of lies and manipulation. But now, here with Levi, I felt safe, protected, and ready to face whatever came next. My thoughts began to wander, searching for answers to questions that still lingered in my mind. What would happen next? Would the Tremblays find me? Was Joel's TV performance really just a distraction? I looked up at Levi, seeing the same concern in his eyes. "What should we do now?" I asked quietly. "Is there a way to stay safe, or are we just sitting ducks?"The truth was, we both knew that sitting around and waiting wasn't going to solve anything. We had to take a step, whatever that meant. "We're not sitting ducks, We'll figure something out. But first, we need to make sure that you're safe, that we're not being tracked somehow.

My brows furrowed, confused,“Our old houses?” I repeat, “What do you mean?”“We used to live opposite each other, although our family had a feud, we became friends in secret, that's where it all began" "Our families had a feud?" I whispered, trying to recall. “Yes, but despite the conflict between our families, we found each other. We used to sneak out at night, meet in the park, and talk about everything under the stars.” A wistful smile tugged at the corners of his lips.Questioning myself, I wondered. Why had our families had a feud? How had we managed to keep our friendship a secret? And why was I the only one who couldn't remember any of this? If our old house held even a small part of the answers I'm searching for, then I need to go there. Now.
