She opened and closed her lips quite a few times with hesitation before finally letting out a deep breath and softly narrating, “I… just heard things, that’s all.

Della’s POV“By the way, how was your talk with Mr. K last night? You look so exhausted this morning, and you had to go to the temple, so I wasn’t able to ask you,” Albert suddenly asked, making my heartbeat palpitate so much that it felt like it would jump out of my chest any minute now.The guilt

‘Not while I’m here,’ I silently vowed to myself, feeling my heart clenched with pain.“Della!”I was jolted back into reality when I heard Albert’s booming voice echoing in my ears, paired with Aaden's hard tap on my shoulder.Blinking a couple of times, I was shocked by everything I was thinking a
