The mere thought sent a shiver down my spine and it wasn't like we had the closest relationship so what about Ivy and Bianca who were most definitely each other's backbone."Jax, I don't know how much longer I can handle this," Ivy admitted, her voice filled with exhaustion. "Bianca's memory is slipping away more and more every day, and it's tearing me apart."I understood her pain all too well, and it pained me to see her suffer. I reached out and gently took her ha

I had barely settled into my seat when my phone buzzed, signaling an incoming call. It was Ivy. I smiled at the phone as I picked up the call thinking that she was calling because she was already missing me but when I heard her voice, thick with emotion, I knew that something was wrong somewhere,"Hello Ivy, what is the problem?" I asked with caution."Jax, it's Bianca," she said, her words seeming to hang in the air. Even before I asked, I already guessed what was to come next after my question"What happened to Bianca?"

Ivy's POVMy journey to healing from my grief was both painful and eye-opening. It started with acknowledging the suppressed hate I held towards Jax, my husband, for something he was not responsible for. My sane mind knew that he was not to blame but I had no idea that deep in my subconscious somewhere I held a lot of contempt towards him without my knowledge and it showed up in subtle ways in our relationship, from the way I thought about him especially after an argument to the way I kind of expected everything he did to hurt me in one way or another.Jax couldn't be blamed for the death of my parents; it was the spell of the witch, Mia, who was wicked and out for revenge and he had inky been nothing but a pun in her games. Messing with his mind through all her witchcraft and incantations. Consciously reflecting on all this allowed me to let go of my anger and begin my path towards true and genuine healing because I realized that all I was doing previously was pushing all my feeling
